User Reviews
I was hesitant to purchase these shoes due to the straps at the ankles, as I have very big ankles, or "cankles" as I've heard them called, and wide large feet as well (size 10 wide). HOWEVER, these shoes not only fit great (the elastic at the ankles is soft and comfy), they actually look great! They're flattering and stylish with dresses, pants, and even leggings and shorts. As a bonus, no one believes me when I say I wear a size 10 wide shoe. They make my feet look smaller. Doesn't get better than that! 😃I am super impressed with these shoes and will be buying them in more colours. Highly recommended.
I am in love with these and just ordered a second color. I like to wear closed toe shoes for work and these are perfect for summer. The photo is from a recent conference where I was in them for about 11 hours straight. My feet were not uncomfortable even after that long. I am an 8 or 8.5 in most shoes and ordered an 8.5 based on the reviews. They fit great, but run slightly narrow which works great for me.
I would love to give these 5 stars, but... The upper back heal had a tiny rough seam spot that dug in and drew a little blood the first time I wore these around the house. I tried some tape on the shoe, but the second time trying them out I got a full blister there and way too fast. I wish I had more time to make these work, but now I have to return these tried on shoes. I wear a size 8 and these are on the snug side, but I liked it, like they elegantly fit like a glove on my slenderish foot. Alas, this is a rare case where I have bought a size 8 that didn't fit; it's just a smidge too short as well as being lean.
Love these…. Been looking for a wedge that is not too tall…. I am in my 60’s with knee issues, but I still like to feel good with a little height…… will be buying moreThanks for offering this shoe to gals like myself…..
I want to love these shoes so much but am struggling. Positives: love the style, and shoe looks cute, medium size heel, Initially a cute spring/summer shoe that is quality . Also the sole is comfortable Negatives: while the strap over the ankles are elastic the thickness of them makes my ankles swell and look like cankles within an hour. Then the top of my foot swells and it doesn’t look flattering at all. Ankle straps are my favorite shoes but this type of elastic strap, and the placement gives no option to adjust and makes me feel embarrassed when my feet swell like sausages.
They are cute and comfortable but cut the hell out of my heel. Added moleskin and it fixed it. That's a common problem for me so no big deal. Easy to walk in and that's coming from someone who is in a constant war with gravity.
This fit like steel toe boots, the front material that covers your toes is as hard as steel, my toenails were even hurting. The piece of metal they use there, there is not need for that, just make it soft we are ladies using this shoes not men working with steel.
These shoes are very comfortable. I wore them with bootcut jeans and they were perfect. The red is more of a cherry red.
