User Reviews
Perfect for my wider feet. Super comfortable. Cute. 10/10 recommend.
Very comfortable right from the start! Great looking shoe! Would purchase again!
Not like the same style I've purchased previously. Flimsy support, and fit was just not right.
i ordered the 8.5 wide width, a 1/2 size down (i usually buy 9 normal width shoes). they’re still too big and the heel area is too wide, making me feel like any stretch and i will walk out of the shoe. plus the left toe is squared and the right is rounded, so poor quality control. the navy is very dark and extremely cool toned (almost blue violet), so don’t expect a yellowed navy. when i stand in them, the bottoms of my toes don’t feel the sole because it’s very thin under this area, unlike the heel area. i don’t know if i should try an 8. the arch area has a lot of support. i have a high instep and these were comfortable.
Bottom seam split from sole in less then 30 days, my whole foot was wet. Wish they wore better quality.
These are very stylish and just fine if you will be indoors. However, the bottom is made weirdly. Instead of one continuous sole there's a gap at the base of the heel and the end of ball where there is no sole and just material. This doesn't make the shoe uncomfortable, but if the ground is the least bit of damp it WILL soak through the bottom of your shoe. Wear these only in dry conditions and you'll be fine.
This is my second pair of shoes ordered. The first pair was too large and the second was too small. I needed a 1/2 size. I am very disappointed.
The last 4 pr of shoes have been incredibly made cheaply. No insoles, thin unfinished seams and barely any soles.They arrive in ziploc bags!Obviously, made in sweatshops!!!Absolutely unacceptable. I do not drive, I’m 72 and depend on mail order. I’m not spending even more to have Ubertake me to UPS to return them.Amazon has been my lifeline for all my needs, therefore sadly disappointed.
