Best shoe ever! This shoe is so great. Lasted great and looked great. Best of all, super comfortable. It’s a cross between a slipper and a sneaker. Buy it you will be buying another pair afterwards like me.

Just got the shoes - These shoes are awesome. I just got them today and they fit very true to size, I’m a 7 1/2 so I ordered the 8 since they only come in whole sizes and they fit great. I ordered the purple pair. They are very comfortable and have great arch support. I was skeptical at first ordering without trying them on but I did and they worked out just fine. Also Zappos upgraded my shipping to overnight just to say thank you, at no additional charge.

Tsubo Saiph - great walking shoe - I bought these and took them on a trip to Vancouver. I wore them right away, no breaking in period was necessary. I love them! Walked everywhere, they were so comfortable. I'd buy more of them but I want to wait for the price to drop. ;) I bought them in the stone/dark slate color. It looks like olive khaki trim with an iridescent pink/green metallic leather. They are adorable!

Perfect Shoe in every way - I have feet that have widened since childbirth, but refuse to give up cute, fashionable shoes, especially since I am in the fashion industry. Tsubo shoes fit my feet well, provide great support and most of all, they are fabulous looking. I occasionally have to go up a 1/2 size to fit in width, but these Saiphs were perfect in my standard (8) size. I didn't have to break them in at all, and the toe box was very roomy. I purchased the iridescent pink/grey pair and have had SO many compliments. I have worn them with black, grey, lavender, rose and denim and they flatter all the colors. I liked them so well that I think I will buy them in the multi fabric style, too.

Once broken in they're perfect - I had been looking for an athletic-inspired Mary Jane for a long time when I spotted the Tsubo Saiph and decided I had to try them. The hardest thing is trying to choose a color (even though the colors are wild, you'd be surprised how well they compliment your wardrobe--I wear a lot of brown and my lilac kimono pair looks great with it). I would suggest sizing up with these. I'm a true 8.5 with a medium bordering on narrow width foot. There's wiggle room, but the strap keeps the shoe secure. At first, the inner ankle spot seemed too high and it dug into my ankle after a few hours of wear, but that went away quickly. It's important to understand that these shoes need time to break in (about a week or so). After that, you'll be able to take the dog for a long walk and not have to worry about limping home. The biggest complaint I've seen for Tsubos is their ability, or lack thereof, to let your feet breathe. I've never had that problem even though my feet sweat just as much as anyone else's; so I'll offer a tip that my grandma taught me: be courteous to your feet and the people around you--tap some talcum powder into your shoes and coat them lightly if you plan to go barefoot. Try it--it will take your Tsubos a lot farther!

Awesome Shoe!!! My perfect fit is 9.5 W this in a size 10 is a perfect roomy toe box without looking to funky. The Pinky Taupey color literally goes with almost everything in my wardrobe, they are unusual looking therefore draw lots of admiring attention. I can even fit in my magnetic inserts with NO fit problem, which make this one of the most worn shoe in my stash and I've got a lot to choose from.

One of my favorites - Bought this pair last week and did a ton of city walking. My feet felt great and energized. Highly recommend!

Very comfortable and easy to wear. Pink and gray pair is shinier than expected (the pink body of the shoe is pearlized), but the effect is cute. Would order again.

Super. I love these shoes. Comfortable with or without socks. The colors seemed a bit wild but in fact they go with most everything.
