| Great shoe! My first Helle Comfort shoe and I am now 100% sold on this brand. I bought these in brown to wear to work, which is business casual. When I got them, I realized that, with the shiny bronze variations in the leather, they would work for dressier affairs too. So, the first time I wore them was to the symphony, with a sexy dress, and walked up and down stairs and all over down town. Not only did they look great, they were perfectly comfortable, like wearing tennis shoes. They do look great with business casual outfits and even jeans also. I like them so much I'm buying them in black too. I have a AA width foot and the shoe does seem to be true to width; I had to adjust the velcro over all the way. (I added some sticky-backed velcro to keep the straps down on the side after adjusting them over. ignore this comment unless you too have a narrow foot, in which case you will understand what I'm saying. :-) ) |

| Very nice--worth the price? I tried both the Elodia and the Donina and compared fit, comfort, and style. The Elodia in camel is gorgeous--I think it would go with anything, but the Donina is more streamlined and flattering to my long narrow feet. This is the most I have ever paid for a pair of sandals (!), and I share the concern of the reviewer who wondered about their durability since they're so lightweight. As usual, I'm wearing my new shoes indoors at different times of day to test for sore spots, squeaks, and surprises before going outdoors. I ordered the brown which is shiny and has a variegated sort of animal print pattern. They look great, and the velcro allows you to adjust both straps to get the right fit. The 2" heel is high enough for a dressy look but low enough for good ole comfort and ease of movement. I love the look, the fit, and the comfort...so far. |

| Stylish - These shoes are very cute and stylish. I got compliments on the first day I wore them. They are comfortable, but for some reason my left pinky toe is getting rubbed the wrong way! I am thinking it may just be my foot. We recently had to walk about a mile downtown and the shoes (except for my pinky toe) were very comfortable. The color is versatile. I have a brown pair and since the color is a swirl of brown, black, and gold tones, it works well with brown or black outfits. The finish is a bit shiny. |

| Love these shoes - I have the bronze/brown, and they are really pretty and metallic. The fit is great and the comfort is great for those with plantar fasciitis. I wore them all day without discomfort. They have low heels, but they still are heels, so they are not as comfortable as a flat with excellent arch support, but for a stylish heel, they fit the bill. I will buy more Helle comfort shoes, and I will buy from Zappos over any other company due to the excellent service and return policy. |

| Wonderful and Versatile - This is my first pair of Helle Comfort shoes but definitely won't be my last. Though I have difficult feet to fit, I have never bought "comfort shoes" before. I found these to be extremely comfortable, due to both the adjustable straps and the foot bed. I walk 1.5 miles to work and was able to do this in these shoes, right out of the box. The price is worth it, as they are gorgeous shoes and don't look like "comfort shoes" at all. |

| Perfect comfort and pretty - I love these! Don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed, but order a full size up. I am a size 8 1/2 to 9 (but closer to a 9 in most shoes). The size 39 was too small and I had to reorder the 40. I have them in black and because they are so comfortable - excellent arch support, perfect heel height, and I have small bunions and they still felt great. I am planning on ordering the brown also. |

| What a shoe! I just purchased this shoe in black & love it so much I also ordered it in brown! Not only is this shoe comfortable (the adjustable straps add to the comfort & feeling of safety in the shoe) but it is so stylish that it will take you from work, to running around with the kids to a night out on the town. Thank you again Zappos for having such a wonderful product & for such great customer service! |

| Most comfortable shoe ever - Unbelievably comfortable and lightweight shoe. If you are an 8-8.5, order a 38 (39 was too big for me). Also- the black color is a lot shinier than the picture- almost like a patent leather gloss. So comfortable I'm buying another pair from Helle Comfort. My only concern is that the shoe is so lightweight that it won't last long. We'll see. |

| The best stylish shoe - This shoe is so good looking and comfortable and best of all, it is the most stylish shoe I have. I have worn it thru airport after airport and they are great. I got the brown it is more metallic than I thought it would be, but it is a great shoe. |

| A Keeper! I've tried MANY pairs of sandals for my "difficult" feet - and finally, a "keeper"! The Donina is not only comfortable, but great looking. The adjustable straps provide just the flexibility I need for a perfect fit. The brown is beautiful - goes with brown or black outfits. |
