I am a bit addicted to these. I travel a lot and I travel light. I can pack a couple pair of these shoes and they cover most activities and don't add weight or take up much space. I have had plantar fasciitis in the past and while these are described as moderate arch support, I have worn them for 12 hour days of walking several days in a row without any issues. I have them in 7 colors. I have had my original grey and navy pair for 3 years. Those pair have been thrown in the wash dozens of times and look brand new. A tip for those who have had stretching issues - washing and then drying in a med/low heat dryer helps mine retain the shape. Watch the heat as a higher temp might impact the sole. It is true that you probably do not want to size up. I bought a pair that felt too snug and got a bigger size - I had to give them away as they were too loose very soon. I just love having a shoe for any outfit - I wear a variety of colors. Seeing how well they hold up after 3 years it feels like a somewhat reasonable investment for a shoe I wear most days.

These shoes are super-comfortable and look great with everything. I have high arches, a wide forefoot, and a touch of arthritis, so I have to be careful about my shoe choice. I can wear and walk in these all day. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this shoe! I am a 7.5Mand originally ordered a 38. It was comfy but a little large. After reading they would stretch a little I ordered the 37’s. They fit perfect especially knowing they may stretch a little more. I was so happy with the grey I now ordered the black and the patio. Getting ready to order another color.

One caution, these shoes stretch, so if they feel a little tight initially know that they will loosen up and be very comfortable. I love these shoes and have several pairs. I was undecided about whether to give it an overall 5 star or 4 star because of the stretching factor, they eventually stretch out too much, but I went with 5 stars because they are otherwise, perfect.

Ladies with bunions and arthritic big toes, relief is finally here! I have found it more and more difficult to fit into fashionable shoes comfortably, and these shoes were the answer to my prayers! They're adorable -- I've gotten compliments from strangers as I've walked down the street -- and super comfortable. I can wear them all day and walk for blocks in the city, and my feet are still singing. I love them so much I bought them in two colors (orange and mustard), though I don't see those colors available anymore. I'm thinking of getting a third pair. Fantastic shoe!

I absolutely love this shoe. We are going on a trip to Africa and will be doing a lot of walking when we tour. These are so comfortable I have worn them around the house to make sure. Nothing is rubbing nothing is pinching they feel almost like a slipper :-)

I own these in another color and wanted more! However, the grey that I just purchased have wire on the back of the shoe and it rubs against my heel. My other shoes have a material-covered backing and are better made in my opinion. Not sure if these are "knock offs" or an older version of this shoe but I want comfort so will be returning.

These are VERY VERY CUTE shoes!!! I SO wish I could keep them - but they are just TOOO SHORT! I am SO disappointed! They're the kind of shoe I'd buy in every color if they fit. They make your foot look small (and I'm a size 12) and nice! The material is cool, the color (gray) is lovely, the sole is cushy. PLEASE make these in a 43!! All the reviews said they stretch, so I'm tempted to keep them, but - - - I'll most likely regret it and my toes will be killing me! So - back they go!

They felt a little tight at the beginning, but this is my second pair and I know they’ll stretch to fit PERFECTLY. Very comfortable soles, but nothing in terms of arch support. (I have very high arches and I have found that I can wear them for moderate walking and some standing. My feet got a little sore after I wore them all day when I was on my feet the entire time.)
Overall— very cute! Very comfy! Very durable! I will most likely order more colors because they’re so versatile!

I wear a size 10 but the size 41 was perfect for me. I already owned this pair in an orange color and I loved them. I wanted them in the army color and Zappos was the only company who had it on that color in my size. The shoe material feels like a very soft lightweight rubber. They are great and no worries if it happens to rain.

Overall the size and width felt fine, especially knowing they will stretch some. There is very little arch support, so I added my own, which then made for a snugger fit. However, again knowing they will stretch some, I am hopeful that all will be well after wearing them a bit more. Received lots of compliments! These will be a good blend of classy and casual.

A friend had these on a Sailing trip to Sweden and I was so jealous as she looked so chic with her white pants and Navy Ilse Jacobsen shoes. I ordered them and love them so much - the most comfortable shoes ever! Highly recommend.

Some reviewers indicate that these shoes stretch to fit. I typically wear a 43 or 11.5 and the size 11 are impossible to pull over my heel. Perhaps this will help someone.

These are the most horrible shoes I have ever bought. I test drove them around my house for a day and at first they were cute and comfortable. Then I wore them to the mall to shop. Because there is no structure to the top, my feet slipped around in them and caused so much foot and leg pain I had to leave. It’s not like wearing flip flops. With flip flops there is something holding your foot onto the shoe. The shoes also seemed to stretch out, becoming even more uncomfortable to walk in. So as a solution (I hate wasting my money) I bought elastic straps for floppy high heels from Amazon, painted them to match my shoes and slipped them under the insole and around my arch. It’s a little better. I haven’t tried walking further than the mailbox in them though.

These are shoes I have observed from afar for years on the feet of well dressed women. Since summer is almost upon us I took the leap and shelled out the money for the real thing instead of the imitations. I am so glad I did. They are stylish and comfortable. I wear 8.5 and my toes are almost to the top. Other reviews suggest the shoes stretch over time so I think moving up a size would not have been good.

Perfect fit and comfort from first wearing. They don’t need breaking in. Comfortable and stylish. These vibrant raspberry colored shoes are going on a cruise and will walk all over eastern Canada this week

I love these shoes. They are so comfortable and breath. I love the soft sole and the selection of colors. I would highly recommend them. This is my second pair. My first was one size up, and they are a bit loose. I use inserts to take up some space. I like this design a lot.

Beware the size conversion. I ordered an 8 and was sent a 38 which is a 71/2. Had to exchange them for a 39.

I usually wear an 8.5 and the 39 fits perfect. Extremely comfortable shoes. I have a high arch and although there is no arch support my foot felt supported. The material is thin (great for hot days) but I'm concerned that they will stretch out like many reviewers commented on. I'll update if this becomes an issue. I would highly recommend.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have (I have three pairs). Thick, cushiony sole, cool for summer because of the air holes, and waterproof in brief showers. They come in a wide range of colors and are reasonably priced.

I am usually an 8 wide, narrow heel wider toes, bought a 38 and this shoe is like walking on a cloud. For me it had plenty of toe room and the heels were perfect. Love this shoe with blue with jeans, leggings or capris and is so stylish. I will buy more in the future.

I wanted to love these. They seemed quite comfortable, but for the fact that they ran small. Width was fine (and I have somewhat wide feet), but my toes were pressing the front, even in my usual size, and they don't make them bigger.

loved the look of these shoes...great detailing and nice colors. I ordered two different colors in size EU42. I wear a US size 12, but they were at least a size too small...

Love these. I stopped a woman at the airport to ask who made these. I own these in several colors and have had them for years now. Very comfy. HIGHLY recommend!
