Finn Comfort Stanford SKU #7344298(View on Zappos.com Classic)

I bought these shoes to take on vacation to Europe. We did a lot of walking, and thank goodness for my Finns! (I took two other pairs of shoes and never put them on while we were gone.) These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! I recommend Finns to anyone who wants a wonderfully comfortable as well as a good-looking yet light-weight shoe. I now own two other pairs of Finns!

Amazing and Adorable - I love these Finn Comforts! These days I wear exclusively high-end comfort brands like Finn Comfort, Kumfs, and Dankso because my ankles and arches hurt after just a few minutes without great support. I need extraordinary arch support, and Finns always come through for me. For ultimate comfort, cork footbeds are the only way to go. Kumfs and Dansko have good arch support, but they don't feel as good as cork. Finns feel great from the outset, but after a week or two, the shoe will form to your foot completely and it will feel like heaven. After a day of wearing my Kumfs heels, I come home and put on my Finn Mumbai sandals and my feet know they are home. I can feel a huge difference in metatarsal support between Finns and other brands. No other brand comes close. Finns are especially amazing for people with wider feet. I for one love the modern, cuter look of Think! shoes as well as Naot shoes, which are both cork footbeds, but they are too narrow for my feet. Sadly, most Finns are kind of dowdy looking, but these silver Stanfords are actually really cute! They look even better in person. I think I can wear them with slacks, skirts, and jeans! To me it's a supportive, comfortable alternative to a ballerina flat. Finns are crazy expensive, but I have been so so pleased with my other pair that now I see them as a very important investment in my health. They are extremely well made so they will last you a long time. If you have problems with your knees, back, ankles, feet, etc, make the investment. It's far better to shell out the money and have a pair of quality shoes than to keep spending money on cheaper shoes that won't meet your needs or hold up over time. As for sizing, I usually wear between an 8 and 8.5 in dress shoes. For my Mumbai sandals I have size 39, but in these clogs the 39 was a bit small because my toes touched the end of the shoe when I walked and my heels came to the very edge of the clog. I recommend ordering a size up in the clogs and order your normal size in Finn sandals. The footbed is removable, so I suppose it could accommodate orthotics, but I wouldn't recommend buying a shoe this expensive only to remove the best part of the shoe (the amazing cork footbed). Because it molds to your feet, people who normally wear orthotics may not need them, depending on their specific foot condition. If you have plantar fasciitis, Finns would be an exceptional choice for you. This is a very long post, but I really cannot say enough about Finns and how worthwhile of an investment they are. If you're on the fence, go ahead and order them just to see. You have nothing to lose with Zappos! You can't beat their free shipping and free return. Just try them... and realize that the cork footbed will only feel better with time.

Stanford - They are gorgeous shoes and the insole feels like a glove. It fits the contours of my soles comfortably. I have plantar fasciitis and at the time of purchase my feet were extremely sensitive. I could wear them all day without any problem. I have difficulty finding shoes with a roomy enough toe box. These give great room in that area. At first, my feet slipped up and down in the shoe, but a thin layer of orthotic foam was added in the arch area and fits fine now. A little too much foam was added to my left shoe and it needs to be shaved a little to accommodate the thin socks or tights I wear to work. Great look with skirts, dresses, or pants.
