Fantastic Sesto Meucci - This shoemaker is outstanding in fit and in attractiveness. I wear a 13 narrow and was thrilled to discover this brand a few years ago. I purchased multiple pairs of strappy sandals in my size which are the best fit I have ever had. Then last year they did not make any narrows in my size, a tragedy for me! Needless to say when I found this new shoe in my size I got it immediately. It fits great on a narrow foot, breaks in quickly, and the heel is very low and comfortable for lots of walking. If these are like the other pairs I own they will last a long time and still look great. You definitely get what you pay for with Sesto Meucci.

Neat flat for pants or skirts - These attractive flats are a cross between a pump and a sandal, just right for those in between occasions. I love them and they fit great.

Great for wide widths too! I've owned several pairs of Sesto Meucci over the years and loved practically all of them. They wear very well. The last pair, for which these are a replacement, probably lasted a good four years. As Lisa from OK said, these are very comfortable shoes. I wore mine around the house for a few hours before wearing them all day with no problem. Unlike Lisa, however, my foot is wide but with a narrow heel. I initially ordered a 7.5 medium width because Zappos did not have a 7.5 wide, but had to return it for an 8 medium width. In fact, the 7.5 was also too short. So, you may want to go up a size even if the width is correct. The 8 fits perfect and I usually always buy 7.5--even in Sesto Meucci.

A comfortable, narrow fitting shoe. My foot has a long last & some narrow shoes don't hit the arch in the right place. This brand always does. This is a nice, semi-dressy shoe for people who don't or can't wear higher heels & it's very comfortable.

Nice shoe - I also bought the Sesto Meucci Lehana. It's practically the same shoe with one difference - this style does not have an adjustable buckle on the strap. I wish it did as the strap fits more tightly than is comfortable, but I hope it will 'give' over time. Other than that - wonderful!

My Favorite Shoes! I love Sesto Meucci shoes! I purchased these in brown about 10 years ago and have now bought this pair in black to round out my wardrobe. I can always depend on this brand for a comfortable, quality shoe with timeless design. A beautiful, elegant shoe that adds a touch of class to any outfit. Worth every penny because you'll have these for a lifetime!

This shoe is very attractive, but it is very low cut - more than it appears in the picture - and it feels a little insecure on the foot. It definitely does not run like other Sestos that I have. It is narrower and shorter.

Perfect - Wide is perfect with a little 1/2 insole to take up any extra room. Dressier, flat, comfy. Wish it had a soft sole & heel.

Reviewer: Kayqueue from Abingdon, Virginia

Very low toe box caused discomfort - This is not quite comfy. Bought usual size 11 medium. Top of toe box presses down firmly on first toe, enough to rub the nail polish off and stain toes with black dye of shoe. Toe felt sore afterwards. Shoe feels looser and more forgiving on subsequent wear, but then heel straps were a bit too loose to keep shoe on securely. Not as good a wonderfully comfortable similar model I bought many years ago.

Tigers - These are beautiful, well made shoes. Unfortunately they have a super high arch and can be painful.

Great Shoe - I really like the feel and look of these shoes. I was also very pleased with the service. The shipping was free and I received the product in great time. Maybe the price was a little higher than I'd like to pay, but Zappos was the only place I could find my size in stock.

Great shoes - These shoes are amazingly comfortable. Contrary to what the anonymous reviewer from Atlanta said, they absoultely do NOT have high arches. They are actually very flat shoes.

Really great shoes. They are really comfortable and light, the arch is slightly high but not painfully so, and what can I say, they're as hot in real life as they look online.

Great trainers! I just got the mexico 66 in the mail today and I absolutely love them! I have rather wide feet and the Mexico 66's fit perfectly. Don't be fooled, the rather minimal soles make for a very comfortable pair of shoes. I don't agree with a previous reviewer that these have extra high arches and can be painful, since I've had no such problems with them. Buy these shoes: they're retro-cool, unique, comfortable and well made!

Best online experience and cutest shoes! These shoes are so cute and fit perfectly. They’re comfortable and functional enough that I can wear them everyday. Thank you Zappos for the best on line experience. They made sure that I received my shoes fast and I'm truly amazed.

A nice looking shoe. I usually go for retro-ish sneakers, and these fit the bill perfectly. I am also usually an overpronator, but with these shoes the wear seems to be completely even. My only complaint is that after a few months the sole was so thin that it's hurting my foot on occasion. I also could go for a bit more mid-foot support.

Size - These shoes run large, so order a half size smaller than you usually do.

Tigers - The Tigers are the most comfotable shoes that I have ever bought. My only complaint is that the sole of the shoe wears out fairly quickly.

Onitsuka Tiger - The shoes are great and I highly recommend them. I also recommend that you don't wear them in the rain, unless you want to slip. They're not meant to be worn on rainy days. Overall, it's a great shoe!
