A teacher's dream shoe! I'm a high school science teacher. That means I’m constantly moving about, sitting, standing, walking, criss-crossing the campus, and traversing rows of students all day, every day. Long ago I accepted that I MUST HAVE attractive shoes that fit extremely well. The former because, well, I work with teenagers and that means I gotta (try to) be a little stylish. The latter because if my shoes aren’t comfy then my mood and my attitude take a dive. (No one wants that!) Anyway, this shoe definitely meets my requirements. It's well-manufactured and stands up to the rigors of my job day in and day out. Sturdy AND attractive, it’s that rare pair of shoes I fall in love with the first time I slide them on my feet. The velcro closure allows me to adjust the tightness if my feet swell or shrink with the tides of the day. We're having a very warm fall here in northern California but even when the rains of winter begin, these shoes will keep my feet warm and dry until next spring.

Review from Florida -
I am literally standing 8 hours a day 5 days a week-even my orthotics were not working. These shoes accommodate my orthotics and look great with dress pants. However, I would like to see them in a little dressier version to wear with skirts etc. Also the only complaint I have is that the velcro on the straps snags by knee high nylons! Other than that I love them.

Great shoe for people with foot problems -
Mother has wide crooked feet and beginning to get sores on feet (not diabetic)... solved her problems.

Extraordinary Shoe for Difficult Feet -
After wearing these shoes for a few weeks, I can't praise them (and Zappos!) enough. I have custom orthotics, which drastically limits the number of styles that work for me. I ordered my usual size, and needed to return it for a half size larger mainly because I have come to like the extra toe room. The fit is adjustable using the strap, and the style is the most attractive I have seen. The fabric of the shoe is indeed stretchable which makes it very comfy and gives my feet 'wiggle room' as I walk. I hate shoes that bind! The sole is flexible which is nice, some shoes are too stiff. The insole is removable to accommodate orthotics and my feet are comfortable in these shoes all day long. I have only one complaint - the velcro which gives the shoe such wonderfully adjustable fit catches on fabrics and carpet and such, collecting a coat of fibers that have to be picked out of the 'hooks'. Once you adjust the strap, a portion of the prickly hooks is left uncovered. This is more an annoyance one learns to get around, but I wish someone would address this design flaw I see in so many velcro closers. I plan to buy extra velcro and apply a strip of 'loops' over the exposed hooks to solve the problem. I will definitely buy these shoes again.

Comfort beyond belief -
I have just had foot surgery. It has been three months and I need shoes different from those I once wore. I love these shoes. They are comfortable even with socks on, but can be worn with nylon panty hose or knee highs. They are great when I wish a dressy look. I use them with jeans, too. This is usually hard when your feet have been surgically changed. Mary Janes are hard to find when your feet are a mess. These have "give" to them as they stretch and are very comfortable. I'm ordering another soon.

Always wanted a pair of Mary Janes - these were just a little too big. Very lightweight. May have to order myself another pair later.

Wonderful shoes. Was purchased for my 83 old mother in law and they are great for her often swollen feet and achy bunions.

Wore these touring European sites -
After failed foot surgery, I have one foot that swells very easily and two feet that can be quite painful in the wrong shoes or when I walk a great deal. When planning a trip to London and Paris that I knew would include a lot of walking, I searched for a shoe that might accommodate a swollen foot (and I have large feet to start with!) and be comfortable. I took a chance on these shoes and am glad I did - although they stretched and now feel a bit loose when my foot isn't swollen, they were reasonably comfortable for the walking we did. They do get a bit hot, however, because they aren't leather and they aren't very stylish, but they met my needs for the trip.

Her Smile Says It All -
It has always been difficult to find shoes that fit my sister's short and wide feet. However, these shoes brought smiles to her face when she slipped them on. The Velcro fastener straps are convenient, and the rubber soles provide the comfort that she needs. The wide toe box fits her beautifully-no cramped toes. These shoes fit so well: I have already ordered her two more pairs of shoes-athletic and sandals. Before, all I could do was find shoes at SAS; however, you have allowed us to find extremely comfortable shoes that are also attractive and age appropriate.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Athletic, sandals, dressy, whatever you fancy.

Great for odd size feet -
I've got short, wide feet and a bad back. Getting shoes that support well and fit is a challenge. But the great service I received is really something to rave about! Order was placed in the afternoon and received the next day. Impressive!

Love this shoe -
Due to a problem with one foot, I have a very hard time getting a shoe to fit correctly and be comfortable. This shoe is terrific. I really like the light weight especially as summer arrives. My only complaint is that it does not come in more colors. I would buy a pair in each color! I highly recommend this shoe.

Great shoes -
I have a lot of trouble getting comfortable shoes, but these are wonderful. They look good and feel great-similar to sneakers, but are much dressier! I LOVE ZAPPOS.
