Deerskin lining- Gentle Souls´ shoes uses supple and breathable deerskin-lined insoles providing softness and comfort while conforming to the shape of your foot. It is durable and will not stretch or crack when wet. Deerskin is normally found on gloves, jackets or shoe uppers. The deerskin-lined insole is unique to Gentle Souls shoes and sandals!
Flaxseed Memory Pillows- Flaxseed pillows are embedded in the footbed of Gentle Souls shoes to mold to the shape of your foot and provide cushioned support. The flaxseed ¨memory pillows¨ are somewhat similar to beanbags as they redistribute and adjust to the shape of your foot with every step.
Padding- Under the deerskin lining there is a memory foam developed by NASA; Poron®. This foam does not break down and maintains its shape over time.
Granulated Cork- This layer located under the Poron® helps with shock absorption when walking on hard surfaces.
Rubberized Outsole- Sometimes fused with leather, rubberized outsoles are flexible and great for traction on hard surfaces.

Cutest shoe ever. Loved it, but very large around the ankle.

Cute shoe and very comfortable, but I agree with the reviewer who said the ankle strap is far too big -- at least 3/4" too large. Only if you have very large ankles would this shoe fit. The red is more like fuchsia or hot pink, rather than the color pictured.

I love these shoes. I ordered them in my usual size and they fit everywhere but the elastic strap at the heel, which was too baggy. So, I took them to the shoe repairman to have the elastic shortened. Totally worth it! These shoes are beautiful and comfortable.

Just got these shoes and wore them for the first time today. All day. Usually I peel my shoes off when I come home but not with these. After walking around for 9 hours they were still super comfortable. Out of the box onto your feet. No rubbing, no blisters, no getting used to them. Just perfect. Well worth the money. I'll be saving up for another pair! Did not have any problems with the straps like others wrote.
I'd also recommend: Born, Eileen Fisher, Clarks

I love the heel height and they fit my semi-wide foot with a high arch very well. Definitely order at least a 1/2 size down. Even at 1/2 size down they are a smidge long, but it doesn't bother me. I find them very comfortable and the light tan color goes well with so many things. I've had no blisters or discomfort, right out of the box. Gentle Souls shoes are always a winner for me.
