Delite-ful!! Vacation Shoes -
I have very wide feet and I do not wear
orthotics yet I was looking for a comfortable pair of shoes to wear on vacation (a lot of walking in Europe) that were not
sneakers and had soles thicker than a dime and did not look like "old lady" or "nun" shoes. So, I gave these a try. I ordered my usual 8 WW (I'm an 8.5 EE in
New Balance and 8 WW in
Softspots and 8.5WW in
Bouquets for comparison) and they fit great. Lots of support but not a lot of padding (softness) in the sole -- so I bought a pair of sport inserts and am thrilled with the results! And while there is
arch support -- it's not for a high arch so
insoles or
orthotics will solve this, too. These are well made shoes (thus, the price), very light weight -- a real joy to wear all day long -- and I expect to get a lot of wear out of them. And, best of all, it's cute! I got the silver color and while I'll probably still be pegged as an American in Paris, at least it won't be because of my white
sneakers!
