These shoes are comfortable right out of the box. Sometimes flats feel a bit flimsy to me, but these did not. These shoes also have great tread!
I had this shoe in another color and ordered it again because it's so comfortable, despite the high price. I did add a gel arch support, and another gel pad at the heel to keep it from slipping, but my narrow feet usually require some type of "fixes". The shoe looks dressy and professional although it's a flat - what I require.
This is the most comfortable flat I've ever worn. I put them on and they felt like old friends from the get-go.
I have this shoe in black and wear almost every day. Needed brown. Most comfortable shoe ever. True to size.
Ordered the Taupe suede and love them! Most comfortable boots I own. Wear them all the time, with jeans or short dresses. I have a job where I am running around all day and my feet never get tired or sore. Going to buy them in black leather next. Hope they are as soft and comfortable. I have big wide feet with a high arch and they don't bind or pinch anywhere. I feel like I am wearing slippers.
I've never worn this brand before, but this is a very comfortable and good-looking pair of shoes. Just after buying them, I took them on a trip where I did quite a bit of walking, and they felt great. The heel is a shade loose but didn't cause any problems. With their ballet styling, they also are much cuter than most walking shoes.
This was my first time buying this brand and I thought it was kind of expensive so I expected to return it but it is soooo comfortable. It is a pretty dressy looking shoe except for the rubber sole. Love them!
A chic alternative to athletic shoes. I walk a great deal around the town where I live, and also when traveling to other cities. Yesterday I walked about 4 miles on sidewalks, and my feet were comfortable all the way home. There is ample cushioning in the insole, and the nice soft suede is forgiving. I did have to add a cushioned pad to the heel to prevent the upper edge of the shoe from rubbing against the lower edge of my ankle bones. Bella will definitely be going with me on my next trips to New York and London.
These shoes felt great right out of the box. I wore them for an entire day without any problem. I have flat feet, and need a wide toe box, so it is a joy to find a comfortable dress shoe. Not a lot of arch support, but they still felt great. I usually wear an 11, but needed 11.5 in this brand.
Perfect! I've been buying and returning because the toe of the shoe doesn't come up high enough, so it cuts my foot in the wrong spot. Not so with these, and I've got to say the style looks like a Ferragamo shoe! Finally a 'flat' shoe that isn't a ballet flat. I'm a grownup. I work. I need real shoes, not slippers. These have support, style femininity. They are worth every penny. Buy them.
I am very happy with this purchase. As many I am on a constant quest to find the right shoes for my feet because I easily get Morton neuroma symptoms. These shoes are extremely well-made and they look really beautiful except for two aspects: The plasticy aspect of the sole as a previous reviewer mentioned. The back of the heel is not as attractive as the overall shoe design, it is square with an anti-skid pattern. So, the shoe appears to mix two styles: stylish, beautiful from the top and sides but sporty and even wintry from the back. So perhaps this shoe was designed to be elegant during the bad weather months. Though this design will ensure that the back of the heel does not get scuffed. I have been looking for a low/mid heel, brown shoe and this is it. I am very happy. It is expensive but it is beautiful and exquisitely crafted. However I will live with it because I have searched high and low for a shoe that I could wear with a skirts and pants and this is it. The brown color is beautiful and the shoes fit like a glove even though my medium 7 size feet have a bit of a bunion on one foot. The toe box is more narrow than what I usually wear - not by choice but for comfort - but the material is so supple that it is not a problem at all.
From the minute I tried them on, wow! I needed a shoe that would take a lot of airport walking, still be comfortable and look sharp for business. I'm buying 2 more pair! Love the colors too! I weigh 300 lbs., and have one bad ankle with excess swelling, and they still fit great.
These shoes are great. They are comfortable on my wide-ish feet. They do gap slightly in the heel. They have a head turning style. I liked them so much I bought another pair.
These ankle boots are fantastic! They arrived 4 days ago and I've been wearing them every day since then - no breaking in required, they fit perfectly and are really comfortable. And warm, too! I tend to get cold feet a lot, but not with these boots! I'm very happy with this purchase. Sure, they're a bit on the expensive side, but I think they're worth every penny.
Best shoes I've ever owned! I'm on my feet quite a bit and was desperate for sneaker like shoes that I could wear at work. I found these and was so happy with them, I bought another pair in a different color from the same manufacturer, one week later. Absolutely the best shoes ever!
Wonderful shoes! Comfortable and well-made. Unfortunately, too wide in the heel for me.I usually wear a size 9 but the 9 1/2 fit was just right in length.
This is my second pair of ARA loafers in this style, purchased a year apart in different colors. They are so comfortable. I walked all over Rome in them over a course of 6 days, that's how comfortable they are. I get a lot of compliments on them, particularly the grey color.
