Runs large - Nice comfy sweater. The description states that the sweater fits tight, but I thought it ran a little big. It did shrink in the dryer though.

I wish I could wear these all the time -- well, I practically do. I have foot problems (bunions and poor arches), and a teaching job that involves standing and walking all day long. The Arche Laius are soft and flexible, and so comfortable! Their classic ballet style goes with everything from jeans to evening clothes. There's no question that they are expensive, but absolutely worth the price. In the long run, they have proved to be a much better buy than the many pairs of cheaper and less well-made shoes that end up sitting in my closet.

Wearing these shoes is like walking on pillows! So comfortable.

These shoes are very comfortable and look good too.

For me, a great, useful shoe. I like the classic, plain, simple style and because of that, it's versatility. You can dress them up or down; they look good with about everything except evening clothes. I also like that the shoe is handmade, made with all natural materials and that it is not made in China. I wear the shoes at work where I do a moderate amount of walking. Were I to be on my feet all day, this is not the comfort level I would choose. I have some similar Stuart Weitzman suede flats that offer more support. I own the black and a dark blue Laius and they have gotten a lot of use. My two disappointments are that Zappos doesn't have more classic colors of this style in stock, and that the shoe isn't available in non-sueded leather. Taking all of the above into consideration. I'd buy several pair of this shoe if I could. I wear mine all the time.

These ballet shoes stay comfortably on the foot. They do not gap, and no "toe" look. They are very smart and worth the price.
