User Reviews
These high heeled wedge trainers are amazing. I suffer with a really bad back which makes it almost impossible for me to be able to wear flats. The hight on these trainers make it possible for me to walk for miles, and wear them all day, with comfort, while helping to maintain a better posture. These are well made, not heavy. Provide great support and stability while walking, even on uneven surfaces. The only downfall in my opinion is the color...I wish they were available in more colors.
Not only are they cute and look good, they are so comfortable which I didn't expect.
So I was a bit concerned about ordering a 7.5 but you were right as I feel the wedge design may have caused my feet to slide to the tip. I wore it all day at work for 12 hours and my feet did not ache at all. I sit a lot so my feet tends to swell by the time i am leaving. The shoes are a little wider than my feet so there was no squeezing pressure when my feet started to swell. I can wear them comfortably with socks and the laces pull in close enough that my feet do not feel as it they can slip out. Al my colleagues made a comment about them and liked the style. they go great with jeans and do not make you feel too elevated. I highly recommend these!
I have plantar fasciitis and a high arch so I need a small wedge heel. I am on my feet for 10-12 hours some days and these shows seem great. UPDATE: unfortunately the shoes become uncomfortable when walking. After 30 minutes they pinch my toes. I bought two pairs of Skechers with a wedge and they both pinch my toes. It is so bad that after walking in them, my toes feel like they are gone: not asleep but decapitated. It takes a whole day for feeling to return.They are exactly the size you wear. I have wide feet also and generally go up a half size but not these, they are true to size.The backs do not fold into the heel easily and are from enough but not super stiff. Another plus is they look great, I worry about comfort more than appeal.
Great fit! Very comfortable!!
I love these and have worn them every day since I got them!!! Very comfortable, true to size and very well made. They look great with jeans or even a casual dress. The heel is very comfortable and insole is very supportive. I usually have to wear an arch support with sneakers, but I do t have to with these.
This wedge is so comfortable and helps with support for my flat feet. I love this shoe. If they have it other colors I would definitely buy them!!!
These shoes get a bit uncomfortable if I wear them all day long. They are not the easiest for me to walk in. Then again, I am most comfortable in flatter shoes with no arch. Although these are not the most comfortable of all my shoes, they are still doable for hours which is good enough for me. They are so much fun! They make me taller, which heaven only knows, I love! All in all I love these shoes and I am so happy that I bought them. I use them often. I don't wear them on a daily basis due to the fact that they are not perfectly comfortable. They look great. I wear them when I want to look better and still don't want to go to the trouble of dressing up ( which rarely happens and never would if I could help it).
