User Reviews
These shoes are so cute! I bought a pair of the black ones to use on a vacation trip. The built in orthotics are very supportive, and my feet never felt tired. They are lightweight and breathable. The thick corderoy tops look nice. I've worn them with skirts and pants. I love this pair so much that I bought 2 more pair in blue and brown. Most Spenco shoes just fit my feet perfectly and provide the needed support, and I highly recommend this style.
These are ok. No cushion on ball of foot or real support, so I’ll get an insole. Wore them outside before realizing it., so no return. Based on these I wouldn’t purchase this brand again, but it seems some loyal to the brand commented these are not up to normal quality. So maybe I’ll try a different style if I see something I like.
Slightly big but very comfortable. Get many compliments on them.
Love Spenco mules…I thought these would be similar but they don’t have the support I need, but I have foot issues. Otherwise they are well made.
I ordered using "try before you buy", which I highly recommend when you have difficulty getting the right fit in some things.95% of the time, I can order a women's size 9 and it will be right, but this was too large, so I returned it for an 8.5. That went smoothly. The 8.5 was much better, but still generously sized. However, I doubt that I could have gone down to an 8, as the 8.5 was starting to tighten in the toebox and the 8 would have been uncomfortable.I ordered a wide both times. I don't always need a wide, but I find that if it's offered, it's usually because the manufacturer's standard size runs a bit narrow. Therefore, I always take a wide if it's offered because my feet are not at all narrow and there is nothing more miserable than having your toes pinched together and your instep crushed by shoes that are too narrow.With both pairs of shoes, I loved the soft, relaxed material of the shoe. My feet didn't feel like they were in bondage from shoes that are a bit like unforgiving spanx for your feet. The insoles were comfortable. You can control the tightness somewhat with the laces, which are of very nice quality.The problem with both pairs was the engineering of the heel. My feet kept slipping out of the heel as i walked across the room with these shoes. Because the heel didn't keep my foot in place, it thrust the rest of my foot forward and, within a few steps, my feet were becoming crushed into the toe of the shoes. I had to stop and reposition my foot to be up against the heel, whereupon they were piling up into the toe area again after a few more steps.As my feet crushed up into the toe of the shoe, the instep had no give and it felt constricted. This may be where material with a little stretch might have been helpful, but maybe it wouldn't have been an issue if my heels just stayed put in the shoes in the first place.As a workaround, I tried different adjustments to the laces. Then I tried removing the insole to see if that helped. Removing the insole put my foot deeper into the shoe and made the inside heel more accessible, but it didn't help to keep my heel from traveling forward while walking.I'll be returning these, unfortunately. I really liked the material and the color and the general look of the shoes. I just couldn't get them to function properly on my feet.
