Love these shoes! For whatever reason, I seem to get blisters quite easily, especially when I walk for extended periods of time and given that I travel often I have had a very hard time finding a good pair of comfortable shoes that I can wear for days full of walking and not end up with blisters. From the moment I first took these out of the box and tried them on, they fit and felt great! I wore them for 5 out of 7 days of my recent vacation, walking all over the place and didn't have any problems with blisters, foot pain, etc. I'm so pleased I purchased these and will definitely look at other styles from this brand. In my perfect world, all shoes would come in a size 10 1/2, but since most don't, I struggle to find a good fit, but the size 11 fit well, plenty of wiggle room for my toes but not on the almost-too-big-to-wear side. On a scale of wide to narrow, my feet are slightly on the wide side and no problem with the shoes being too narrow.
Cute and pretty comfy
I love the look of these shoes and the amount of cushioning they provide for my soles. They are also fairly good, as far as flats go, for rainy days. I can't give them a 5 because the little toe of my right foot, which is a little wider than my left foot, is rubbed to the point of discomfort whenever I walk in these for more than half an hour. I think a blister would develop if I walked in them for hours. I still wear them for short trips and love the look and feel for those situations. I was hoping for something I could take traveling and wear all day, though, so these did disappoint in that respect.

I absolutely love these shoes. I am a teacher and am on my feet all day long and these are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. They fit me perfectly and my feet are average, not wide or narrow. I like the cross strap so I don't feel like the shoes will fly off my feet as many backless shoes do. The color is beautiful. My favorite shade of purple. My colleagues and my students have all complimented my shoes. I am planning to order the blue next. I will be traveling to Europe for a month this summer and these shoes will travel with me! I highly recommend these shoes!
Amazingly comfortable!!
This shoe is super comfortable and cute to boot! I was concerned about the comfort when I tried them since it fit my left foot much differently then my right foot (it's my foot, not the shoe). After a quick break-in period (like one wearing!!) there have been no issues whatsoever! It's a great shoe for our casual office environment as well as walking the Detroit Zoo with my grandson!

Perfect!!
I bought these before spending 5 days in Istanbul. I needed something that would stay on my feet, be stable on cobblestone streets (vs my Danskos), and be easily packable. These did all of that. I walked for 4 days all over the city in these and only finally developed a raw spot because of some grit that got in the shoe. They're cute and functional!

These are great shoes. They look terrific, and you can walk in them over cobbled stones in Italy for days without pain. The only problem: if your feet swell on long airplane flights, you may need to wait a couple of days to wear these shoes because of the top straps; otherwise, they're wonderful shoes.
Happy Feet
I wear these for work where I'm on my feet for a full 12 hour shift and love them! They are comfortable and can dress up too, which is a bonus. The arch support is great as well. I'd give them five starts but I think a little added cushion would be perfect :)

Just what I wanted
The sizing may be my fault due to the lack of consistency in sizing in the shoe industry. So. That's the only thing. But. I didn't return the pair because I just couldn't wait any longer to have them. Just what I wanted.

My go to out and about shoes
I love these shoes! I got them as something lightweight to wear that were comfortable like my sandles (Chacos) but looked nicer. I can wear them with jeans or a skirt and get compliments often. I personally have no issues with these shoes.

Love these shoes
This is my second pair of this style and they are so comfortable. Easy to walk in although, I consider them more of a fashion shoe and don't take them for any grueling experiences.
