The shoe is more beautiful in person. I usually wear a 6.5 but after reading past reviews from other shoes, I ordered a half size bigger and it fits perfectly. There will be enough room when I wear the shoes with socks or stockings throughout the winter. There is not much support and not enough padding in the shoe to make them comfortable. I suggest putting a foot pad inside the shoe so that they can be more comfortable for your feet.

Great adjustable shoe - This sandal is very comfortable because it is adjustable at three places. The strap over the instep is almost too short for my foot, but it does manage to hook. It is a very comfortable sandal. Wore it to Aruba and walked everywhere in complete comfort.

Hold out for the right size - I usually buy my shoes from Zappos. Last summer Zappos didn't have the Aravon brand yet. I needed sandals to accommodate my orthotics. Our local store carried Aravon Katy. Their shoe repair guy said he would customize the fit. So. I bought the 8WW Katy locally. I needed the double wide in front. That worked great. But, the strap that adjusts across the instep was pulled as tight as it would go; but was still too big. I asked my shoe repair guy to adjust it. But he didn't listen. He shortened the end of one strap. Now I have expensive sandals that slop around my ankles when we dance (which gives me scary footing). Once they're customized; they cannot be returned. I should have held out for Zappos and kept trying to get the right size...rather than having them repaired. Foot pain is becoming a thing of the past with orthotics and fashionable shoes that accommodate them...when they are needed at the right price. Yes, we deserve a perfect shoe store...and, soon, Zappos will be it!!!

Great support - I am waiting until warm weather to wear them, but they support my foot, I wish they were more stylish though, but comfort is first for me.

The Aravon Katy shoes feel great. They are very comfortable with great arch support. I have not had any problems with my heel pain wearing these sandals. The color (bronze) is also very cool and I have received lots of compliments. The only problem is that one of the shoes squeaks when I walk. It is very annoying when it is quiet otherwise.

This shoe had to be great, was made with help from New Balance which makes the best walking shoes, thanks NB for coming up with this shoe, sure wish Zappos had more colors, I ordered the bronze but would like to have the tan. I have a very bad back and my legs hurt but these shoes help my back so my legs do not hurt as bad.
