Love these shoes! So very comfortable . I wear when walking and shopping. I wear to work and church. They look great with jeans or slacks. These cost less than other slip on walking shoes! The perfect all around great shoe! You will be very pleased if you buy these shoes. I highly recommend.
So great! And comfortable once you wear a few times ! I stand on my feet for 9 hours a day sometimes and these are great! Highly recommend. True to size
I was wary about ordering these as I’d read they run tight across the top.When I got them, they “were” a bit tight across the top, however, after wearing them to a doctor’s appointment, they had stretched just enough to fit perfectly.They are comfortable, fun shoes that I get lots of compliments on.And they look great with jeans!
At first I got blisters just under my outer ankles as the sides are a little high and rub into the bottom of the ankle bones that stick out. Also, it is perfect size, 8M, only it is loose fit and my heals slip out then stomp on the heal and flatten them causing me to stop, sit down, and pull the back material out from under my foot and wrap it around from the inside with my finger. The inner insoles are really thin, no arch support and just kind of tacked in with a spot of glue. I got store bought extra thick insoles and placed them over the mfr insoles and they fit perfectly, no slipping and no more blistering on my ankles., they are very cute and after wearing them a couple of days the soft material soften up and conformed to the shape of my feet, making them extremely comfortable.
Iv had these for a few months and wear them about 4-5 days a week. They are so soft and cozy and have held up surprisingly well. I wouldn’t suggest them for anything where you need to walk a lot but at the office or quick errands they are great!
This shoe is so cute, fits great, and is so comfortable, but I am so disappointed in it. The first time I bought a pair, I washed them in the washing machine after owning them for a couple of motnhs and they got holes in the seams in the toe box. I didn't read the washing instructions and accepted fault. So I bought another pair. Within 5 wears, the fabric on the outside of the heel, right next to the sole, became threadbare and I had a hole there. I thought maybe I just bought some "lemons" and Amazon sent me a replacement. With my third pair, the exact same thing happened. In addition, on the last two pairs of shoes, the white rubber on the soles began peeling off. The only thing I did in these shoes was walk around the house, stores, etc on clear days in Virginia - nothing strenuous or that would put undue stress on the shoes. I've treated these shoes as I treat every other pair of shoes I've owned and these haven't lasted me more than 5-10 wears. So frustrating :(
Love the fit and versatility of these shoes. They’ve been my go to work shoes as a teacher since I bought them in August, but now the left shoe’s heel has just about worn a hole through. My right shoe is completely fine, and my pair in black are as well, so it looks like I got a faulty shoe much to my disappointment.
Very pretty love the fur inside and comfortable too!!!
