Great look - Sexy, but a bit unstable. Heel is pretty high. If you have a skinny foot, you might find your foot sliding through.

Wow! More colors, please. Darling shoe--wore the pink to a "pink tie" event. They seem to run a little short. The 9.5 would have fit, but I was close to having the dreaded heel-overhang, so I kept the 10 instead. The cushion is great.

Loved this cute shoe! Came in the nicest package with a bag to keep the shoes in. The cushiony parts definitely made them more comfy!

Love them! They were the cutest and comfortable considering I danced in them all dance. I bought them in pink, but probably would buy them in black for other outfits.

Wow...hot shoe! This is such a cute shoe, I got it in red. It's great with a dress or with jeans. And the bow is adorable!

Love them - I love the look of the shoe. It was exactly what I was searching for. I think the cushion is great but not wide enough at the ball of the foot and heel. The little shoe bag was a very nice touch. The band is cut short over my baby toe bone so it cuts into my foot a little. The heel is exactly what I was looking for in height and cut of the heel. I decided to keep them as my second pair of shoes to change into on my wedding day. I hope this helps you. It’s a great looking shoe! Sexy and fun!

All I can say is WOW! I absolutely love, love, love, love, LOVE these boots! The heel looks deceiving. It is very comfy. Very pirate-y!

Beware of color distortions on website - Shoes are comfy right out of the box; however, I ordered the metallic silver/Berry which appeared to be an off-shade of red. When I received them I found that they are more of a pink color which I wasn't expecting. I am keeping them anyways because they are comfy and fit well. I would not have ordered them if I had known how pink they were though!!

Awesome on most aspects. This shoe is really comfortable to run in, but be careful they will get worn out if you don't rotate them with another pair of running shoes. I have really, really weak ankles, had ankle surgery and injuries, and weight training or cross training is very hard because of no side support. So stick to running with these or an everyday shoe.

It’s so comfortable, lightweight, and good for casual runners. But this shoe covers only a small range of the foot. If you have a wide foot and are an elite runner, this shoe is not meant for you.

Darling! I love these shoes! They are usually the first tennies I'll grab and they still look great after 6 months. They are extremely light weight. I'd like a little more arch support but they are still quite comfortable. I bought the pink, which I love and I get lots of compliments on them!

I bought these shoes in the violet/metallic silver combo and they are so much cooler looking than they are in the picture. I am in love. I use them for walking and find them both lightweight and comfy, but mostly they are uber cute. I find them a smidge tight but nothing a bit of walking won't cure. Zappos rocks.

Great running shoe - These are a cute and comfortable running shoe. I am just a casual runner but just started training for my first 5K and these shoes are perfect. I really like how lightweight they are and that there is not any bulky or extra fabric.

Interesting, but nice & comfy shoes - I am a running shoe fanatic and super-picky about my shoes. I am a big fan of Shox, but I really like these shoes, too. They are interesting shoes, but good interesting. They are incredibly lightweight, and the soles are made of a material I would say is similar to crocs. I was surprised to feel how comfortable and supportive they are, given how light they are. I have a tendency to underpronate, and the support of these helps keep me from injuring my ankles. I went with the pink and gray (not available at Zappos as of this review), and they are very cute. Glad I bought them!

Great shoes! I love these sneakers! They are some of the lightest and most comfortable running shoes I've ever owned (much better than Nike Shox). I really like the style and color of these shoes too – I ordered the pink/coral. The price was so reasonable I think I might order them in gray too!

Cutest running shoe ever - These are the cutest running shoes that I have ever seen. They fit my size 12 narrow feet even though they came in a medium width. They are very light weight and comfortable. No one around town will own a pair like these!!!

My first 5K. I've been running the neighborhood to run in my first 5K and these have been perfect. They are light and comfortable. Didn't take any time to break them in. Perfect from the beginning.
