LifeStride Mariah SKU #7518451(View on Zappos.com Classic)

This is truly truly one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned...bought them in all four colors! The insert is very soft and padded; particularly for a dress shoe and the low heel has a wide enough base to be very supportive. This is truly an ideal dress shoe because it's good looking enough to wear to the office but doesn't hurt your feet. Seems to be very well made, the few scratches I've put on them are very easy to buff out. The one complaint I have is that the ankle strap stretches quickly and easily...might be worth it to buy it a half size smaller than normal especially since it's open toed.

I love these shoes. I bought them in red and they're fabulous. They were comfortable the very first time I put them on! They're appropriate for casual and dressy looks.

I chose LifeStride Mariah in black patent for a wedding. I wore them at both the rehearsal dinner (w/o hose) and the wedding (with hose--to my daughter's dismay!). I found them very comfortable both times, although a little less so without hose. However that was the first time I had worn them, and they probably needed a little breaking in. I also must add that I have often found shoes uncomfortable with bare feet--except for sandals. I know that is not true for everyone. I ordered a 5.5 first (my usual current size), but returned it for a 5, which fit perfectly. The style is cute and versatile.

Cheap and uncomfortable - I received these shoes today and put them on to pick up my son from school (a 10-minute walk). When I arrived at school I required two band aids for my heels. The slingback dug into my skin and was really hurting. When I got back home, my two little toes had blisters on them. The shoes are good looking, but cheap and uncomfortable. The size is as marked, in length and width, but the material is cheap and rubs the skin and hurts. I would not recommend these shoes to anybody; they are not worth even the cheap price they are selling for. I chose the orange color, since orange patent leather is hard to come by and I wasn't prepared to pay $300+ for a pair of shoes in real patent leather. I should have known better and never buy shoes that are synthetic material. Next time I won't.

From the minute that I slipped this shoe on, I was thrilled. They are not only super cute, but they are super comfortable! I don't like too much toe showing through, and these shoes allow just a bit of a peep, which I love. I just wish that it came in navy. Great buy!!!

Great Shoe - This is one great shoe. From the first day wearing it I was able to walk around an entire convention center in complete comfort, like wearing an old pair of comfy sneakers (which I took as a backup and never had to use)! I purchased it in orange and got soooo many compliments that I'm going back for another punch of color - perhaps the red! I would recommend this shoe to anyone who wants great fashion colors in a stylish yet very comfortable shoe.
