Disappointed in these. Very pretty, but very little arch support, and the calf circumference seems much wider than the 13.5" listed. I also found them to be unattractively wide at the ankle. Not for those with very thin legs.
Disappointed - I had hoped to wear these for all-day walking in Italy, but after a road test I must sadly report that these won't work. They force your foot forward and a bit upward to the point that your toenails rub into the stiff leather. When I tried to stop this foot movement by tightening the strap, my toes started getting numb (not good!). So, while this is a very attractive shoe, I would NOT recommend it for all-day trekking.
Disappointed - I thought these shoes would be perfect non-sandal summer comfort shoes. What you don't get from the top view is how oddly they are shaped. The toe bed sticks out really far and angles sharply--it doesn't match the natural toe shape. They were comfy and darn near perfect, but I returned them because the cut just wasn't right.
Diminished back and foot pain! I am a waitress and a nurse aid. I have not experienced any of my usual back and foot pain since wearing these shoes. True to fit and well worth the price! I find myself wearing them a lot even when I'm not at work.
Diedra Trotters - The shoes are surprisingly comfortable, more so than I would have expected. I am very pleased with this shoe and others will be as well. In terms of size, it is true to size
