User Reviews
I definitely would buy these shoes again. The color is a true shade of red, the fit is perfect, and they are very comfortable. I bought them on sale, so I got a real bargain.
So far I like them. I bought a wide width due to bunion on one foot and I'm glad I did. plenty of room for the toes, too. They are so light weight I am worrying about durability over time. I bought these to replace a pair of Skechers sneaker clogs which lasted about 5 years, but were alot heavier. My mind associates weight with flimsiness, but that might not be the case. I'm hoping it won't. I paid $40 which is more than I usually spend on shoes to grocery shop in and run about town, so I have high expectations that they will last a long time. The third day I wore them, I wore them 12 hours at the state fair and casually walked miles and miles, and I got no blisters. They are too casual for church, but otherwise I've been wearing them everywhere. I dislike socks and I enjoy sliding my feet in and not needing to bend down to put on my shoes, so I was only considering other clog/mule shoes when I bought these. I bought them in navy because they pair nice with jeans and my summer skorts have a lot of blue in them.update: These finally started to come apart at the end of 2019 after almost daily use for two years. Just bought a replacement pair. but I'll keep this pair now to mow the lawn.
The shoes are very nice, good quality. They were listed as extra wide width but are a little tight. Hoping they stretch out as I try to wear them
I ordered an 11WW. I normally wear a 10.5WW so figured the extra 1/2 size would be a benefit based on some of the other reviews. Was excited to get this shoe since I have achilles tendon issues and can't wear shoes with backs. The shoe was easily 1+ size too short and since it has a slightly raised back, it hits directly on my heel. It's also listed as a WW. Since I've had to buy extra wide widths my whole live, I know that WW normally equates to at least an E if not wider. Sadly this fit closer to a B/C width. There is no way a wide foot will fit in this shoe - I could barely get my foot in it with a nylon sock - putting on a 1/2 sock made it impossible to slide on. It appears well constructed with decent support but beware how you choose your size. Free shipping is a bonus but there's a catch to the free returns... it's only free if you do an exchange for a different size or style. If you want to return for a refund, they will deduct $6.95. The listing did not show this little detail... you don't find that out until you initiate a return but it's in the fine print. There is no different size or style in my size so I don't have the option of exchanging for something else so I'm out $7 to return something that is obviously not sized properly. Buyer beware!
This shoe runs small, so order the next size up. I originally ordered my normal size and had to return them.This is a nice leather shoe.
Ordered 8.5 wide (because that's what I wear in New Balance & Nike gym shoes). Sizing was good & width fit well. My issue was the top of shoe went past top of my foot & up towards my mt ankle. So without a back my foot kept getting pushed back off back of shoe. They weren't too small. When sitting & feet flat on floor they fit well .... till I tried to walk. No choice but to return.
Even though my feet are not 100% happy with these sneaker shoes I think they are fabulous! I should state that as my user name suggests, I am typically barefoot indoors and out. I wear crocs if I have to go into a store and maybe twice a year I throw on a pair of Ugg's if we have more than a foot of snow. My feet don't know what to make of real shoes. That said, these shoes are nice looking, run true to size (my feet have become real wide from never wearing shoes in close to 60 years) and have support in the arch area. My big problem (and this is my issue, not the shoes) is that the bottom soles are rather stiff like a shoe is supposed to be. I'm used to 100% rubber and then with the Uggs I think I just shuffle my feet since there's so much snow when I wear them. Overall, I would say this is a great shoe. I wore them once in the house and hope to wear them longer outside someday. I would buy them for someone as a gift and would recommend them to others. I saw them in a shoe catalog and of course had to check Amazon for reviews and of course (I love Amazon) they were cheaper here! Amazon rocks!
Ordered W2 and was still too narrow. The majority of my shoes are medium width and fit perfectly.Service from seller exceptional! Would definitely buy from them again
