Skechers fit me best. The toe box is wide enough. The arch support hits my foot in the right place. They last forever. Skechers rocks. Zappos rocks. Easiest and fastest way to find exactly what you want, and never leave the house!

These shoes are amazing. I just had foot surgery and needed shoes that have lots of support. After wearing them for a day I ordered another pair. They have more support and comfort than my orthotics. These are 5 star shoes.

I have been ordering Skechers Premix from Zappos for several years. The sneakers are very sturdy, feel light as a feather and are extremely comfortable. I wear them to work each day. In fact, I wear them seven days a week. Also, there are no laces, so I just have to slide my foot into the sneaker. Service from Zappos is also excellent in that my sneakers arrive the next day.

I was very happy with the quick turn around to receive the merchandise I ordered and the Free Shipping was a real plus. I'm sure I will think of Zappos first if in need of more merchandise.

I love these shoes, I have the solid white and now want the white and navy, they can be wiped down when dirty and feel like heaven on my feet.

These are the third pair of Skechers that I have worn and they are very lightweight and comfortable and no laces to tie or become untied. I love them!

This is about my 4th pair of these shoes. They are very comfortable and easy to slip on. The problem was that I needed them in wide but I was having a hard time finding them. They didn't even have them on the Skechers website. I found them on Zappos and they were very reasonable. I should have gotten several pairs.

These are my favorite tennis shoes. Excellent arch support for those with high arches. Love that there aren't any laces to tie.

Bought this shoe for a trip to Disney (much walking!) and it is fabulous! Comfortable from the moment I put them on, and received many compliments on the style.

I am on my 3rd pair of this type of Skechers and I love them! Easy to take on and off! No laces! Great idea! Just a note, if you have high arches, however, this shoe might not work for you. Because of the elastic that is built into the shoe to hold it on your foot, it might feel too tight! I will say that, when you first get them, you need to wear them a while to stretch out this "band of elastic" that is inside the shoe. It may feel a little snug at first, but that should go away, as you continue to break in the shoe.

These boots are amazing. So comfortable! They look even better in person. The vintage distressed leather is perfect. My foot is on the narrow side and these boots fit like a glove. Like a well made glove. Love them.

This boot is so amazingly jolie-laide tough-girl sexy I cannot even deal. It's well-made, too, and the distressing on the leather is awesome. Unfortunately, it doesn't zip up around my ankles -- I have wide ankles & calves -- so back it goes. If you have big calves that start low, even though this is an ankle boot, you might want to give it a miss.

These shoes definitely run at least a half size smaller than you would normally order. I am a 7 in everything and the 7 felt too tight, it was hard to zip up and unzip. I returned them in exchange for a 7.5 and even those are not very roomy but I think they will break-in comfortably. I ordered the dark brown and the cognac because I couldn't decide -- I prefer the cognac in person, it is not as light as it looks online and it has a little more character than the dark brown does. These are great boots though and I can't wait to wear them for years to come!

Sad to have sent these back. I really liked them, but for me they for just too narrow. I am normally a 9.5-10(m). I went with the 9.5's and had about 1/2 an inch of wiggle room at the toes. The length was perfect, but the width was just too narrow. I own the Veronica Slouch in 9.5m and those fit great; thought since the styles was similar these would work. They are lovely in person and I would recommend them to those with narrow feet. It's worth a try, you won't lose anything with Zappos' great return policy. Maybe they'll work for you. By the way, I had no zipper issues and the quality is great. Leather smells yummy.

I normally wear a 9 or 9.5 in all my boots except for the snipe toe (cockroach killers) where, because of the long pointed toe I would take a 9.5 or 10. These in a 9.5 were very narrow, plus could not get my whole foot in to zip with winter weight socks; tried a thinner sock and I could zip it but they were not comfortable...I don't think and longer boot in this style would be comfortable either, they need to offer them in wider widths because style is so cute and the destructed finish was just what I was looking for and I am a 53 year old lady.

I followed other reviewers' advice and ordered a half-size larger than my usual size. I am a pretty true size 7 in most shoes, including 3 other Frye boots I've owned in the past. I ordered the 7.5 and they are perfect -- comfortable with thin socks, but roomy enough that I can wear thicker socks, too. I can tell the 7s would have been a little too small. The boots themselves are beautiful, with a decent amount of cushioning -- definitely not a hard sole. I also ordered the Melissa short button boot, but these had much more character. I am not a studded boot kind of gal, but I can really work these in with neutral colors and classic clothes. They smell AMAZING. Love them and I know I'll have them for years. Oh and I really don't like shoes that are too slippery on the bottom or make a lot of noise when you walk -- somehow these aren't too bad. The Melissa short buttons seemed more slippery and noisy to walk in.

The most comfortable boots I have ever had. Love the style and the color is very neutral. I would not hesitate ordering in other colors. My feet are very narrow and narrow in the heel. Often I find it difficult to find things to fit. These are great.

I love these boots. I know it is wrong to love an object, but I do. I love how they look (stylish and a little tough-girlish), I love how they feel (the leather is smooth along the foot and soft and supple at the ankle, inside and out) and how they smell (real leather). They fit well, have a nice snug feel at the ankle and are wearing well. They are the most expensive shoes I own and completely worth it.
