Customer Reviews LifeStride Solace

I love these shoes. I wear heels every day and most are not comfortable. Frequently my foot slides down and my toes get crammed into the toe of the shoe which hurts. This does not happen at all with these shoes, the strap holds my food back so the arch is supported which makes it really comfortable. Also there is great padding in the ball of the foot and the heel. These are my first pair of this brand and I just ordered another style to try out. And lastly I can't say enough for the price, they are really well made which makes them the best value I've had in a really long time!

LifeStride shoes combine extreme comfort and fashionable styles. This is perhaps my favorite new dress shoe. I can wear these for hours. They are very well constructed and definitely affordable. I highly recommend these to wear with either dress pants or dresses.

Nice style for work and was able to be on my feet at work for most of the day before my feet started hurting. The wide is not quite as wide or comfortable as expected, especially for someone who doesn't usually buy wide sizes, but I am guessing part of that is because it is made of synthetic fabric instead of leather (the biggest downside, in my view). I do love how easily they are to slip on, compared to other shoes of this style (no buckles, etc.). Overall these are nice shoes.

I get SO MANY compliments on these shoes. They're very flattering. Not great for long bouts of standing (what heels are?) but great for short trips out and lots of sitting. This is my second pair, as I wore the first til they started falling apart.

Words I would use to describe this shoe: chic, sleek, COMFORTABLE, versatile. These are the PERFECT shoes - they look great with work pants, but I'm sure they would look just as great with non-work pants. The pointed toe conveys power and woman-in-charge, but the toe box is roomy enough not to pinch my toes together. Perfection. Will be buying all the other colors too.

These shoes are both comfortable and very flattering. My feet feel secure in them. The pointed toes and mid heel look great, even sexy!

Just bought second pair. Uber comfy - can easily wear all week to work.

Absolutely the most comfortable heels I have ever bought. I have a wide foot and RA. Few heels actually work for me. The heel size is just right - dressy, stylish, and easy to walk in (I'm not too graceful). The elastic band over the top of the foot is perfectly placed and does not detract from the style at all. This are the only shoes with a pointed toe that I have been able to wear comfortably. I usually wear a size 8 (wide when I can find it). I ordered an 8 1/2 wide, and it was a perfect fit.

Great alternative to high high heels if you will be walking/dancing etc for longer periods of time. Bought for a gala in vegas, 11w was true to size.

I have flat, wide, small feet... a terrible combination! Literally every pair of shoes hurts my feet after wearing them for awhile. I bought these shoes to wear to a New Year’s Eve party that required cocktail attire. I actually wore them the whole night, stood for hours, and danced in them, without ever switching into my pair of emergency flats (that I take with me everywhere!). It was a holiday miracle! The heel is moderate - taller than a kitten heel, but not quite a high heel either - which keeps the look stylish. I ordered a 6.5 W and I wish that the shoe had been a little wider. Other than that, it’s a great shoe. I highly recommend for people who experience foot pain.

If this shoe was wide enough for a truly wide foot - this would be a great comfortable shoe. I think it's the design of this type of closed toe shoe that just doesn't work for a very wide foot

I wore these to a winter wedding without breaking in. The soles were extremely comfortable. I did purchase a half size up as I knew I would dance all night and was prepared for swelling. No problems with fit or walking. I wore them from 1PM to 11PM without any problems. I would recommend for anyone who wants a comfortable yet stylish closed toe low heel.

For the money, these are an incredible bargain! Comfortable and stylish....seriously, right out of the box! I love them....wish they had more colors!

I'm a high end shoe purchaser and I'm moving and everything is packed. So when a fancy (ish) affair popped up i did not want to rummage through the carefully packed boxes and didn't want to buy another pair of black pumps. I saw Life Stride and thought, this is my mothers brands bu then I read the reviews. These shoes were fantastic. I could walk and dance all night long without any pain whatsoever. Great styling. Give them 5 stars without reservation.

I can't say enough about how much I love these shoes. I am a teacher and on my feet all day. I looked and looked for a closed-toe shoe with a reasonable heel that would be comfortable. I love these - comfortable and stylish! I have the black and just ordered the taupe. I wish they had more colors!

absolutely LOVE these shoes; very comfortable,can walk long distance without pain; classy look, great wide band in front, really pretty shoe

Was skeptical to buy these but the reviews persuaded me. Life Stride was a brand my mother favored which meant it certainly couldn't be for me. Wrong! Stylish with support, very comfortable and easy to walk and dance in. I tend to go for shoes 5 and 6 times the cost of these. Im now asking myself why? when there are shoes like these available??? Give them a chance, Zappos makes it so easy!

This was my first purchase with LifeStride and it is very beautiful and I love it. Very good for the price too.

These shoes fit right out of the box. They are classic and pair well with skirts, business trousers or fun accessory to leather leggings. I am not an easy shoe fit...I am in between a size 8 and 8.5 so for dress shoes I will size up and add gel inserts. These shoes did not require any tweaks

I have bunions. It is the VERY rare pump that I can wear. This shoe could not accommodate, alas. Not the fault of the shoe.

Loved these shoes. Do not hesitate to purchase. Very comfortable and looks nice.

The look great and are comfortable! Plus, they were a great price. I definitely recommend these shoes.

These shoes are so nice for the price. They are great for wide feet without looking like old lady shoes. Unfortunately, I have really wide feet and they don't come in EE, so I had to return. Very stylish and could be worn year round.

I needed a classy shoe for my very non-traditional wedding. Of the six pairs I ordered, just based on the picture alone, this was my least favorite. All that changed when I put this shoe on. Wow! It's stunning on. I'm a hard fit - wide feet, but narrow heel. So, I can't wear most pumps because my heel slips out. Much the same issue with sling-backs, which I typically prefer. One of my biggest fears was walking down the isle, losing a shoe and bonking a guest in the head. The band around the top of this shoe eliminates that fear and secures the foot perfectly. I'm sold. Great shoe!
