Stylish and Comfortable - I love these shoes. It's not often that I find a stylish shoe that is also extremely comfortable. I have very wide feet and it's hard to find a shoe that fits, is adorable and I can wear for a long period of time. I actually wore these dancing the first time I had them on. Thank you Sofft and Zappos for helping us hard to fit gals!!

Comfortable... still sexy - No need to break these in. The sole is very comfy without looking to 'grandma' (please take no offense). Great with skirts & jeans.

Love these shoes! They were so comfortable for the first step. I was worried since they are little higher than I normally wear. This brand has never let me down with comfort, sizing or long wear.

Very comfortable and stylish - These shoes are extremely comfortable and feel very secure on the foot. They're pretty enough to wear with a dress and yet look sexy with jeans as well.

I bought this sandal in black. It is a shoe that really dresses up an outfit. They are comfortable, but do make a "swish" noise when I walk, probably due to the "Sofft" platform, it doesn't bother me, it's not loud or irritating.

If you have wide feet, these are VERY comfortable shoes! In fact, I had to size down because they were so nice and wide, and they're still a little loose. (I look for D width shoes) They're also very light on your foot. Perfect for dressing up while still being on your feet all day.

These sandals are super comfy. I have narrow feet and I like the different width options that Sofft provides. I'm not used to wearing heels this high, but I hardly notice the height. I also got lots of compliments on the style.

Love these shoes. I have a wide foot and finding pretty sandals for the summer is very difficult. They are perfect! Very comfortable! I can wear these all day without any problems! Thanks Zappos.

Super cute! I saw these cute shoes in an In-Style add, so I ran straight to Zappos to find them. The navy sneakers with the red sole are so darn cute and mega-comfy. They are adorbable with jean skirts.

Flexibility & Style - Purchased the tan plaid version of this shoe. Very cute shoe. If looks aren't enough, this is one highly flexible and comfortable shoe. Roomy toe box, with padded indented heel cup and arch support. Lace up styling provides a supportive and unrestrictive fit. These shoes have style & substance. Thank you Zappos!

Adorable!! I have the navy suede (indigo) version and they're so sweet. They're as comfortable as they look. The collar is canvas so you have to be careful to not get them too dirty, because you can't really clean them. I plan to keep these out of the rain. One of the other reviews is right, they go great with jeans skirts.

Wonderful. I have only worn these three times since receiving them and all three times times I got compliments from complete strangers. One wanted to know all the dtails, where I bought them, how much they cost, and if they are they comfortable. Yes, they're comfortable, they're just like wearing tennies, but much cooler.

Just as cute in person - I loved them the minute I saw them, but they could use a little extra padding on the top side, just under the tongue where the shoe bends and hits the top of the foot. I'm keeping them though, because they are adorable, and I received compliments the first time out in them.

Toe box a little pointy - The picture shows the toe box as if it were nice and round but in actuality the shoe is a little more pointed than the picture. I'm very happy with the shoe however, and they are very nice looking with the exception of the pointy toe box.

Not only are these great looking, comfortable, and versatile... They were a full $14 dollars cheaper at Zappos than the catalog I first found them in. Add the free shipping and it's a bonified bargain. I buy almost all of my shoes at Zappos, and these are among my favorites. They are so cute. They are sporty and go with all of my khakis and jeans. I love them so much I bought them in more than one color.
