I love these shoes! They are very comfortable and stylish. I\'m a teacher and am on my feet most of the day. I wear these shoes all day and they feel great. Very satisfied with my purchase.

These pumas are the best thing about retirement! It\'s soft on the top, firm on the bottom and look great with pants or casuaL skirts. In summer look good with all lengths and I can wear socks or not. I bought it first at Macy\'s then at Nordsroms then at a Puma outlet in las Vegas. Now I can finish my collection on Zappo. Zappo has two colors I didn\'t own until today : ).

Hey everyone! I wanted some shoes that were cute yet comfortable while over here in the Desert sand. These are both! They fit pretty true to size and the problem I had with another pair of Puma flats were that they rubbed on the back of my ankles; these have a little cushion that prevents this so no band aids needed on the back of the feet, ladies. Very easy to clean, you can literally use a wet rag and wipe off if you want and I do it daily because everywhere I walk there is sand/dirt. The patent leather on the toe can dress up an outfit if you want or not, but the best thing of all is that they are Pumas so you're wearing a sneaker that looks like a ballet flat!

I love these! I wear them before and after workouts, dropping the kids off at school, to the market, and even on a casual date night! Very comfortable and versatile! They do indeed run 1/2 size small, but with that info, I ordered accordingly and got a perfect fit! Perfect Zappos service, as always, too!

I had to return these because the sides of the shoes hit the bottom of my ankle when I tried to walk in them. They were so cute, too. I'll keep looking.

I love these shoes. Fit like a glove and are very comfortable and flattering. Only issue is that they're cut a little high around the ankle and rubbed at first. True to width. Maybe a smidge shorter than normal fit.

The look is perfect. From walking in the park to going shopping. The only thing is that the upper inner rim hurts the first two weeks of use. You need to wear a bandaid until they give up. Otherwise very comfortable and very true to size.

To begin with - the PUMA flats are really cool shoes. I am 63 years old and although some may consider me "older" I definitely like to be "with it" with my shoes. Having had numerous foot surgeries I am unable to wear any kind of heel so I always look for unusual shoes to dress up my outfits. When I first ordered these shoes, the cute gal with whom I spoke with by phone at Zappos advised me to order half a size smaller than usual. I ended up having to order a whole size smaller. The first couple of days I got a small blister on both feet but after I cut out the PUMA labels everything was fine. I bought two pair - one black and one grey/silver. They look great with everything. I'll be wearing them in Dublin this summer!

These shoes are BEAUTIFUL! I bought them in red, and they totally shine! For me, it was half a size too big, but I shipped it back for an exchange and the service was fantastic! The shoe is not like typical flats in that your entire feet pretty much get covered (you know regular ballet flats usually cover just a tiny bit of the top of your feet). They don't provide much arch support either, but that's not a big problem for me. The soles of the shoes are awesome though; they stand against slippery things, and are just so cool to look at it. I love it.

I purchased the Tsonga Akhela in turquoise to wear to a summer beach wedding. The color is a gorgeous subtle, dusky turquoise, making it fairly versatile. I typically wear a size 10 and the fit is exact with no excess, probably more like a 9.5, but in an open back sandal this isn't a problem. I have a slightly narrow foot and often find the straps too loose on sandals, but not on these. (Just because your foot is long doesn't mean it is thick!) The leather is very soft making for a snug though comfortable fit with no slipping. Heel height is comfortable and attractive enough to go dressy or casual. Also the foot bed is very soft with good arch support, a good thing for prolonged standing. I\'m very pleased with this purchase and in usual Zappos style, these sandals arrived less than 48 hours after I ordered them.

I bought a pair of Tsonga sandals 4 years ago - and I have worn them practically every day of each summer that has gone by. I decided to get another pair (new style). These shoes are so comfortable. They have a nice size heel that are comfortable to wear and stylish at the same time. I am in between a 7 1/2 and 8 - with a slightly wide foot. I bought the 39 and they fit perfectly. I would imagine this means they run a little small. I really don’t think it would fit an 8 1/2. I cannot believe that Zappos not only shipped them the same day - but they shipped them overnight at no charge! I will always look on Zappos first when looking for some new shoes!!!

Very nice - These are comfortable and stylish, sexy, without going overboard. Wear at the office with slacks or weekend with a casual dress.

They are like butter. Can hardly wear any of my heels anymore, but decided to try these. They wear like butter. Will definitely be purchasing more from this maker!

Tsonga's Akhela - These shoes are even better looking than they appear on line. And, they are extremely comfortable. Lots of padding and the leather is buttery soft. No breaking in with these shoes. The stitching and the carving down the back of the heel make the shoe especially attractive.

I was intrigued by the makers of these shoes. The leather is quite soft and extremely comfortable. I am a medium width and they fit perfectly. I would assume if you have a very narrow foot that these would not be for you. The workmanship is quite nice, and the etchings on the leather and heel add a extra dimension. I would recommend these shoes. I did order another pair from Tsonga as well and one of them squeeked, which is so annoying so I returned them.

I loved these shoes, but they do not hold up under daily wear. I have purchased them twice, and written reviews of them here, but the metal in the arch that holds the heel in-line has broken on both sets of these shoes that I have ordered, so on a total of four shoes altogether. I love these shoes (great comfort, great style) and I love supporting a pro-woman NGO in Africa, but I cannot spend this much on shoes that do not hold up to wear and tear. They are perfect until they break, and then they cannot be repaired. And just so that you will know, I am a little woman; I just walk a lot.
