Customer Reviews Easy Spirit Punter

FAST SERVICE - I placed an order in the evening and received the order the following day. I have always worn Easy Spirit sneakers in a wide. After going to several stores with no luck of finding my size, I thought I would try the internet. I will probably continue to use Zappos, it just makes sense.

This was my absolute favorite easy spirit shoe. They redesigned the ankle to better fit a normal skinny ankle, but I have kankles, so the "v" shaped back pokes into my puffy sensative ankle. Width and length is great for my wide 4" ball to 2" heel width and high instep, shoe has generous toe box in a 7.5 wide.

Very cushy shoe, which for me personally is a problem. My feet sink in while I'm standing in these and this caused me some peroneal tendon issues. If your feet like cushy, these would probably be great. I have a problem with one of my feet and even though I register borderline wide on that foot, I find that with most shoes I need to purchase a wide. I ordered this wide and it is too roomy, so be aware of that. It has a generous cut. Leather is very pliable as well so the shoe does stretch quickly.

Unexpectedly uncomfortable - I've always loved Easy Spirit dress shoes so I thought I'd try the athletic variety. Sad to say, this shoe was a disappointment. The arch support was not what I expected--it was in a different place on each shoe. One shoe was comfortable, the other was not. I know, one foot isn't exactly the same as the other, but I've never felt shoes that were so different in the arches. I have a high arch and a medium width foot. It's possible this was just a dud pair, but I've returned them. Thanks, Zappos, for making that part painless!

Disappointment - Having worn the Easy Spirit Erace and later called EStiebreakers for many years, I found the Punter a big let down. The sole seems hard and clunky to me. Also, one shoe is too tight and the other too loose. I am aware that my left foot is slightly larger than the right, but have never had problems with shoes because of that. I'm continuing to wear them, having spent the money, but definitely will not be ordering these again. I am on the hunt for a different shoe as walking 3 1/2 miles a day demands a good fitting shoe. Zappos is awesome!

These were overall nice shoes, but just a little too narrow in the toe box for comfort. Tried both my usual size 6 and a 6.5 and both just felt a bit tight.

These shoes are great for wide feet. Plenty of room in the toe box, with cushiony support for the whole foot.

Just a bit narrow. I can get my feet in without pain it's just a bit more snug than I prefer. One I break them in will probably be great. They do look really nice.

They are wonderful. I had the same shoes before and wore them out. Don't stop carrying them!

I shouldn't have listened to the "recommendation" and just ordered my regular size. These EEE were way too wide. As usual Zappos outperforms!

I have always loved this shoe but when I needed to get a wide in my size Zappos was the only place that I found it have been a go to place since then Sandals that I just ordered are great I am so glad as I really have a time finding shoes that do not hurt my feet spent 28yrs as an RN on them has created this problem but Zappos has helped a lot rn

Orthotics fit & shoes are comfortable

They're very comfortable. I have painful foot issues at the base of my big toes. It's hard to find shoes wide enough not to press in that area. These are perfect. They seem a little wider through the toes which is perfect for me. You just can't beat a black athletic shoe for comfort and fashion.

This is my third pair of these shoes. I wear them to death, and then buy another pair. As they are very comfortable, and they look good enough. Their look is kind of neutral, and not very fashionable. So if you want something more fancy - these probably are not for you. But for me they are perfect. These are my work shoes, and I work in ER where you need to walk A LOT. These are my gym shoes. And they are perfect walking shoes too. The outsole is a little slippery when I wear them to zumba. But that maybe not their fault: our zumba class in in the school cafeteria, so they floor there is not the best for dancing. Highly recommend for ultimate comfort.

The fit was great but the arch support only 3 stars....I wish they use memory foam! But it looks cute and my feet looked smaller ??

One review said these walking shoes "felt like slippers" and I agree - they are super comfortable. I need a wide width due to bunions and they fit perfectly while offering stability for 3+ mile daily walks.

I wear a 7 1/2 D, not a C, not an E. these fit like a true D, not like a the new Reeboks DMX (once my very favorite, but now only fit a C) and so many others that have gone to artificial leather or other inferior materials. Finally after many years, over 5, I have finally found a shoe that is the right width, length and is comfortable. I only wish that I could get the Punter in Black or even Navy as well. If you're like me, great shoe! Good walking shoe, neutral, they don't pull the foot in or force it out. I don't trip in these. My feet tend to flip onto their outsides and these shoes don't cause that. I am reviewing the Easy Spirit Punter.

I have a difficult time finding shoes due to MS. This pair did the trick. YAY. I have Shoes!

Love this walking shoe!!! Lightweight and so comfy!!!

MY ORIGINAL REVIEW STATED THE COMFORT OF THESE SHOES, BUT AFTER WEARING THEM AT THE FAIR ALL DAY, I HAD TO RE WRITE THIS REVIEW. THESE ARE THE ONLY SHOES I HAVE WORN THAT ACTUALLY CAUSED MY FEET AND LEGS TO HURT, THE LONGER I WEAR THEM. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT SUPPORTIVE OR COMFORTABLE, THE LONGER I WORE THEM. I WILL BE GOING BACK TO SAUCONY.

I work 12 hour shifts as an RN and am on me feet 99% of the time. These shoes have worked really well for me. I just ordered my second pair. My first pair lasted 2.5 years and that is putting 12,000+ steps on each shift! Highly recommend.

Great sneaker. This is my second pair, and so glad that this model is still available. They are very comfortable and have great support. Definitely recommend them!

It's getting harder and harder to find Easy Spirit in stores, and I really like their walking shoes for everyday wear, even with skirts or dresses. I don't know why I didn't think of Zappos sooner, but it's a bit of a step of faith to purchase clothing or shoes before "trying them on." Next time I need a pair of walking shoes, I'll be back on the Zappos' site! There may not be any difference between Easy Spirit shoes activity level 1, 2, or 3, except in my head, but I shy away from any Easy Spirit activity level 1 shoes. These are rated activity level 3, so I'm looking forward to them providing me with good support and long-lasting wear.

I am very pleased with this shoe. It's comfortable. I have purchased ES for the last 5 years. Thanks.

I have a very wide foot with a high instep. After I loosened the laces just a bit, the shoe fit perfectly and is very comfortable.
