This review is not sponsored.This shoe is perfect for work or just a casual day out. The support is pretty good in my opinion and I can be on my feet for hours at work. I actually like this shoe so much I have it in gray as well. They hold up pretty well too. I’ve had the gray pair for over a year, wear about 1-2x week, only spot cleaned, and they still look great. I always recommend this Brand to my friends and colleagues. Will definitely buy more in the future.
I’m 72 years old and have put lots of miles on my poor old feet. These are probably the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. They have a classic style that will compliment any casual wear. Plenty of room in the toe box and not too high on the instep, can be worn with or without socks. Good arch support and cushioned insole. True to size and seem well made.
I bought these shoes because I have another style of Life Stride shoes that I purchased 4 years ago and wear almost daily. Unfortunately, the insole is not as good quality as my previous pair. These are lightweight and were a little tight at first, but they have loosened up. The first day I wore them I walked around a large theme park for 10 hours and my feet did not hurt as much as if I wore other shoes. They don't show dirt which is nice, but I do have a snag in one after only wearing it for a month. The bottoms don\t have much traction and can be slippery. Overall I like them.
Love this shoe. I have a bunion on my big toe. This shoe is so comfy and flexible. Highly recommend this shoe. True to size as well.
I’m always hesitant to buy shoes online. I have slightly wide feet so sizing can be difficult. I got the 7W, my usual size and they are perfect! So comfortable. I wear them with a thin pair of no show socks.
This is a cute looking shoe! Runs narrow across the toes and a bit wide in the heel. Materials are lightweight and low quality. Shoes will last for a vacation but not suitable for every day. Fabric is not stretchy nor comfortable and shoe pinches at the width of the foot because of the overlapping seams stitched in that location. I got them for a vacation and they were adequate though uncomfortable. I really like the look of the shoe but wish they would make them out of a higher quality material so they would be comfortable.
I wear between an 8 and 8.5. I ordered 8 next time I will order 8.5. Size up if you’re not sure. They are very comfortable and well made. I will wear them a lot
My shoes smell like wet dog mixed with burnt plastic. I figured it would go away, but by Day 5, they were still smelling like the Bog of Eternal Stench, and I decided to complain and return them the following day. Then I accidentally dropped a small can of crimson-orange paint (acrylic). It went all over them, and because that was my own fault, returning was no longer an option.I actually have a picture I am trying to share, but Amazon isn't letting me. It looks like I just murdered someone. (maybe I'll try again tomorrow)I hadn't bought myself a new pair of shoes in years. They are now my paint/art shoes (I refuse to waste them!).The fit was pretty comfortable for 9.5, though I have high arcs, and they don't offer much support in that area. They are flimsy, and the fabric snags easily, leaving frays. I bought these for $30 on Prime Day. It is now Black Friday and they are reduced in price again. DO NOT BUY! I can't believe some people pay the full price of $80!Back to the smell - it's almost as offensive as that of a dead body (which I have found one of before). I am not exaggerating on the strength of the smell. I have to store them in double-plastic-bags and only wear them when painting. Not even baking soda helped. It has been over a month, and the odor seems to be getting even stronger. And no, it's not my own feet, ha. It is only THIS pair of shoes!Not happy
