User Reviews
I'm a size 10.5, which is super annoying because most shoes at this size only come in 10 or 11 (grr! angry face!). I size up for closed shoes and down for sandals. I first tried these in size 11, but they were both too long and also too narrow, so it felt like the wide part of my forefoot hit too close to the edge but also got squished too far from the toe tip. I like shoes, and none of my other shoes are wide width, but I liked these too much to give up so I returned the 11s and replaced them with 10 wide. Lo and behold, the 10 wides fit perfectly! Once I had the right size, they were very comfortable. I wore them through some long in-person meetings, walking around a lot more than I usually do in a day, and they held up well and didn't hurt me.
Really comfortable and fashionable as well
Good price, love the orange color and it is very comfortable and soft, good for my achy fibro feet! However, I got my regular size 9 but wide, the width is perfect but too long so I’m going to try a half size down and send back the 9W. I might up the stars if it fits right!Ordered 8.5W waited 3 days and package never arrived so I cancelled and ordered again however, Amazon said I refused delivery which is NOT TRUE,,,,don’t put this on me Amazon! Grrrrrr
These are my go to shoes everyday. They are so comfortable and easy to slip on. Look great as casual or dress shoes.
I have a wide foot and I ordered this in wide. It was not a Wide even though it said it was. Tired a "wide" not being a wide. Was a cute shoe and was really excited to get it. Disappointed I had to return it.
These shoes are for narrow feet. The cross over the top is uncomfortable if you have wide feet or a high arch. The length is adequate. The color is nice and the quality is great. Just a snug fit at the toe over the top of the foot. Also a little difficult to on.
I am so happy with these shoes!! Not only are they very cute but they are also really comfortable. I’m planning to order another pair in the cream color!!!
Very cute & comfortable!I bought the black ones they were a perfect fit. Think I will purchase the red ones too!
