Detailed Review
Comfort: The standout feature of the LifeStride Women's Allison Dress Sandal is undoubtedly its emphasis on comfort. The inclusion of the Soft System® comfort package means that whether you're attending a long day at the office or enjoying an evening out, your feet will thank you. The cushioning and flexibility allow them to adapt to the natural contours of your foot, which is something many dress sandals often overlook.
Style: These sandals boast a timeless design that pairs well with dresses, skirts, or even tailored trousers. The black microsuede fabric gives it a chic and sophisticated look, ensuring you can transition seamlessly from daytime activities to evening events. The peep toe and crisscross strap add a fashionable touch that makes these sandals desirable for fashion-conscious individuals.
Fit & Sizing: With the adjustable buckle closure, finding the perfect fit is straightforward. However, if you’re between sizes, it might be wise to try them on as some customers report slight variations in fit. Always consider trying these on in-store if possible, as individual foot shapes can impact comfort ultimately.
Durability: Made from synthetic materials, these sandals are built to withstand regular use while maintaining their stylish appearance. They do require some care, but given their machine-washable nature, upkeep isn't overly burdensome.

User Reviews
True to size. I have one wide foot and one narrow foot and these shoe straps conform to both nicely due to the adjustable length of the wrap around strap. Fuzzy, faux velvety exterior, well constructed with a solid block heel. Lovely and feminine while providing good support to the ankles and weight. Looking forward to wearing these beauties.
Based on previous reviews, I took a chance on these. They are probably the most comfortable dress shoes I own. I wore these brand new, with no break in time to an event where I was on my feet, and dancing all night. No rubbing anywhere and no achey feet. And they look great too!
While I still need the break them in, this is one of the few pairs of actually pretty heels I’ve found that fit. Bonus; they are comfortable too!
I wear ankle boots and other ankle strap heels. These hurt the back of my ankle and had to return them. Cute shoes just not for me.
Nice heel. Wide toe for my fat toes
These are cute but the edges of the material are SO thin and sharp that I ended up with actual cuts into my skin in several places, on both feet, just after a few hours of wearing. Material felt very cheap. Disappointing, to say the least.
Very pretty shoe, but a bit wide for narrow feet. I have to put a pad inside to keep feet from slipping. I think I have bought a size smaller.
I needed to purchase a pair of shoes that would complement my attire to be worn at a funeral. I had no idea how long the funeral would last due to the fact it was for a retired firefighter. After reading as many reviews about the shoes as I could possibly take time to read. I decided to make the purchase. Once the shoes arrived, I put them on and I walked around on our hardwood floors for a while and they were very comfortable. However, I also purchased and wore a pair of gel foot pads. The one's that fit under the balls of your feet. I was just so fearful of wearing 3 inch heels to the funeral. So, you can take that into consideration while reading my review. Because we were family we were due at the church at 9:15 AM. We were there through the viewing, through the service. standing while the body was placed on a firetruck. I twice walked across a large parking lot then back to the car. Then again walking such a long way to the burial site at the cemetery. Once leaving there we attended the repass dinner. I was on my feet on and off from 8:50 AM when we left our home, until 8:40 PM when we pulled up into our driveway. I can honestly say that I have never, ever in my 60+ years of living. Had a shoe that never hurt my feet anywhere. The longest I’ve ever worn a heel has been more or less a wedding & going to church. I never once even thought about taking my shoes off because of discomfort. I had also taken a flat pair of shoes so when my feet did hurt I would have an option. However, there was no discomfort whatsoever. I will honestly be looking for this brand of shoe from now on and praying I have the same results!!!
