I stumbled up the brand Bzees a few years ago - a black slip on tennis shoe. I wore that shoe EVERYWHERE! I wore it to work on casual days; I wore it to run errands and go shopping; I wore it when I walked for exercise; I wore it to meet up with friends. I wore the shoe so much that I recently noticed that the tread had worn down and it was starting to fray . . . so the shoe is very durable considering I've worn it for about 5 or 6 years now! Since then I've ordered other Bzees in different styles and colors. I recently ordered the Charlie Slip On to replace the original black slip on's I ordered. What I love about Bzees is the arch support. This shoe is very comfortable but it is definitely for warmer weather because the material is a "mesh" type that allows your foot to breathe. It also wraps around your foot making the fit very comfortable. I also love the arch support in them. At first when I tried this shoe on the arch support was very obvious on my foot, but now that I've worn them a little bit the arch support has molded to my foot and is very comfortable. I have this exact shoe in white.

I have severe arthritis in one foot with a bump at the base of my big toe. The flexible material on these shoes put very little pressure in this area. I also liked that they came up higher on the top of my foot so that I can wear some small footie socks. They're attractive and more stylish than an athletic shoe.

In love with these shoes! I have mild arthritis, and a bone spur in my big toe, and deal with plantar fascitis sometimes. The "stretch" factor in these shoes, along with a great cushioned arch are tailor made for me! Getting another pair. YAY!

Don't you love it when shoes feel just right for your feet the minute you put them on? I've got wide feet, high arches and foot issues. None of those things is a problem with these shoes. I'm sure they are going to be my go-to pair for summer. They are a little pricey for such casual shoes but I think they're worth it for the comfort and arch support.

Not much comfort they are cute, However as you see in the photo the stitching started coming apart I was going to keep them for something to slip on to go to church or shopping but after just three months the stitching has started to come and done so I’m returning

I like this shoe and it likes me back! I’m a senior with much arthritis pain and walking issues, in fact, needing two walking sticks outdoors. I have narrow ankles but need a broad toe base as well as good arch supports. Easy to plunge my feet into without my having to bend over, this shoe envelopes my foot gently, offering a soft, super cushioned base-and teamed up with a terrific arch support means I haven’t taken the shoes off since I bought them! I just returned from a mile walking barefoot in them with absolutely no pain or discomfort. I usually wear 8.5-9 and a 9/39 fits like a glove!

These shoes were so comfortable out of the box. However, they created blisters on the back of my heel.

GREAT shoes! Super comfy right out of the box. I normally wear a size 10.5M, but Zappos recommended that I order a size 10M. PERFECT! These shoes are easy to get in and out of, look great with capris and jeans and have the arch support that I need. I do like my Skechers; however, they're way to "flat" for my flat feet. I like them so much, I'm thinking about ordering another color.

These are very comfortable casual shoes/sneakers. I bought them for my 93 HR old granny who prefers a wider fit. They are perfect. They look so nice on her i bought a similar pair for myself!

Love these! So comfortable, have been two of my go-to shoes for the past year.
They are great in summer, spring and fall. For winter you want something more insulating of course. They are washable if you get them dirty (by hand), and breathable. (Ended up putting my foot straight in a deep puddle as getting out of the car once, and they wash out and dry quickly).
Took them on a trip to Italy right out of the box and have not regretted it once while there.
I have very wide feet and bunions, and had 7 foot surgeries on one foot, so I have to be picky. Mid foot fusion and screws in all my toes made it that way, sadly. While I do have a custom insert, I’ve not used it at all, as I felt this shoe was supportive enough for everyday wear and light walking (no hiking or snuggling). These are not supportive in the sense they will make your feet walk on a rigid insole, though you could replace insole with your own. But I felt supported with no pain. Also, no blisters, good right out of the box, and great with swollen feet after a trip etc.
Buy them!!

My arches have collapsed and I have had an operation on a toe that still pains it, and I have arthritis. My feet tend to swell in hot weather. I bought these in a Wide width. They are so comfortable I don't want to take them off. The arch is definitely superior to other shoes in my wardrobe. I don't have to wear socks--I wanted these because the toes are enclosed and I can't wear regular sandals. There is a lot of give in the,, yet when my feet aren't swollen (at the beginning of the day) they still fit fine. I'm getting a second pair. I can wear them with a skirt or shorts.

These shoes are amazing! I am 47 years old and overweight. I also do not exercise regularly. I was able to walk 16,000 steps in one day in New York City without being tired or having achy feet! The rest of the 4 days there I walked an average of 10,000 feet and was very impressed with the support and comfort these shoes provided! They are washable so that's a huge plus! Love them now i own 3 pairs!!

The tag line on these shoes is "So comfy, it's crazy" - IT'S TRUE. I slipped these on my feet, and felt a little dizzy from the shock of feeling so comfortable. It was like slipping a warm, soft glove onto my feet, but with really excellent arch support! ? Walking around, I had that extra-relaxed, ready-to-sink-into-the-floor feeling you get after a really good massage. I had no idea how much my feet NEEDED these shoes.

The Bzees Charlie. Most people think it's the greatest shoe ever, and I have to agree. Stylish and comfy -- love it!!!! At 70, I have a number of foot issues, including bunions, wide feet, and the need for padding and very good arch support. Oh, and I also have balance issues. Though I am full of praise for the Charlie, I wish the wides were a bit wider (I find them a tinch on the narrow side) and also I have to go up 1/2 size from my usual 8Ws and then they fit just fine. Also, the inner sole can feel hot in the heat and I wouldn't mind a bit more cushioning (and am not loving the ever-rising price either). Still, they do for me what other "healthy," including orthotic and orthotic-friendly shoes, do not. They wrap my feet feet so they feel attached to the sole and thus my feet don't have to compensate for moving around height-wise while I'm walking. In other words, some healthy shoes leave my feet feeling unsupported height-wise when I walk because they are too deep and/or the toe and ankle straps (even adjusted) are too long, but the Charlie makes me feel like my feet and the shoe are one. Heavenly. Thank you Bzees!!

I have 9 pair of BZees. The most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I add to my collection to coordinate with clothes. They are true to size and I will buy them as long as they continue to make them. Lifelong customer.

I have crazy feet. Issues..yes. But who doesn’t want a shoe that you can wear with lots of outfits, is comfortable and is reasonably priced? MEEE! I think I found it! I must have the wide fit! I wear a 10 and ‘this shoe nailed it! Arch support is a must ...it’s enough! I have a high instep .. the material works for me! I can’t tell you all how many shoes I scroll through ...and when others leave a review it helps us shoppers! I’ll be getting more of these!

Ordered this product in sizes 6.6 and 7. The 6.5 fits me somewhat better. So I am returning the size 7.
White shoes and sandals are a standard for me in the summer and I always prefer mesh if I can find them.
The shoes are soft and comfortable. Flexible if you have hammer toes or bunions,

I love that it’s a casual sneaker that can be worn with dresses and no socks. I love that they can be easily tossed in the washing machine. I especially love how supportive they feel on my feet. This was a great shoe to wear while healing from my pregnancy induced plantar fasciitis. I highly recommend them!

Haven’t had luck with slip on shoes either too tight or loose on my feet. Also some are just too heavy to wear all day. These shoes were perfect, wasn’t sure about sizing so I went up 1/2 size a little too big so went back to my true size and they worked right out of the box.
Thank you Zappos for making returns so easy I’ll probably buy a second pair ! Will work for walking and travel very lightweight!
