Finally, a cute orthopedic shoe! I have wide feet with a very high instep. On top of all that, I have custom
orthotics, which are thicker than normal
insoles. So most shoes are too tight, even if I can remove the
insole first. Not these! These are the cutest shoes that can accommodate an orthotic, but still have room left over for an added layer of cushion, and still not be too tight. The only other shoe that could do that were my
Aetrex Ambulator
mary janes. Those shoes are comfortable, but so ugly. Besides the comfort, I'm happy because these Lucy shoes actually look good with skinny
jeans.
Ballet flats would be better, since I can't wear those, the Lucys come very close. I have only two (minor) complaints about the style: I wish the strap was thinner (it's about 1" wide!) and I wish they had not stitched flowers on the side. Other than that, I love these shoes! Normally an 8.5 wide would have been perfect, but they pinched around the toes. I chose a 9 wide instead. I think an 8.5 WW may have also worked, but I'm too lazy to order a 3rd pair to try on!
