Nice support and very cute and beautiful color. Used a shoe stretcher and they fit good.
this shoe is very attractive. I had to return the first order because it was too short, so consider ordering a size up. The replacement came in 2 days!It looks great with jeans and a red sweater or dressed up with a dress or skirt...comfortable too.
These are the cutest and ever so comfortable. I ordered the black pair and they even look darling with dresses. I love them but so did my new puppy. He only managed to chew one, but you may need to keep extra on hand. Great size, looks better on than in photo and fit is right on.
I am a medical professional (Med Lab Tech) and am on my feet most of my shift and wanted a good shoe that wasn't enormously expensive(like some of other professional brands). These are very sturdy and give very good support(inner arch support and a very padded footbed). They are very comfortable and didn't need a 'breakin period'. I purchased the brown because the color blends well with scrubs and the mostly smooth surface is easy to keep clean. I really like the elevated heel, it's not too high but very comfortable. I don't like flats. I do wish the back of the shoe(the heel) was a liitle bit more firm, it tends to fold down when putting my foot into it. And THEY DO RUN SMALL, ORDER UP AT LEAST A HALF-TO A FULL-SIZE(I think it's because of the padding inside the shoe) I was aware of this prior to ordering and did so (I usually take anywhere from an 8 to a 9 and ordered these is a 40EU(9.5 to 10) and they are perfect. I will probably order at least one more pair in a different color. I love that hey are available in many colors. In general, VERY HAPPY with this purchase and recommend them to anyone who is on their feet for extended periods of time. Would work well with "civilian" clothes also :)
I like the look, the quality, and comfort of this shoe. It is money well spent. Thank you.
I love the shoe. I have 2 pair of this brands sandals and love them!!!! I ordered the same size for this shoe, but it fits tight on the top of the foot because I have a high arch. I wanted to replace them for the next size because I love the shoes and I know how comfortable they are because I have two pair of their sandals. But the vendor does not allow for the exchange. Yes, I can repurchase and return the others but the price has changed (it has gone up) I ordered 4 days ago and received last night and tried them on this morning. 😞
I have this shoe in Navy from last year but this year it was only offerd in 71/2 - 8 or 8, the first shoe was too short and the second shoe was too long. I was really disappointed because I wanted a black pair.
I had bought this shoe in another color from a different place, so I knew what I was getting. These are beautiful and SO comfortable. I have a lot of trouble with foot pain so I am willing to spend money to get a comfortable shoe. I can wear these all day and they feel as good at the end of the day as when you put them on. They have a nice sized heel that gives you a little height but not too high. They do run about a size small. I usually wear a size 10, but in these get the size 10.5 to 11 and they fit perfectly. I have the blue and the burgundy ones and just love them. I get perfect strangers telling me how pretty they are. I would highly recommend these.
