I am here to tell you that these sandals are amazing! I am 6'1 in and weigh 250 pounds and suffer from sore feet all the time. I purchased these in a size 12WW and when I put these on I almost cried. They felt so wonderful. They're incredibly soft and such a welcome change from every other sandal I've tried. My size and weight tends to crush woman's shoes instead of support me. Not these! I attribute that to the superb rubber soles and arch support. Yes they are expensive, but worth every penny. I highly recommend them.

I just love Zappos! Best online shopping ever!\r\nHaving foot surgery a year ago, I need good supportive shoes. This sandal fits the bill. It is well made, has very attractive stitching, and totally adjustable. I trouble with sandals because of my narrow feet and these were no problem!

Finally, a comfortable pair of woman's sandals! I have gone to so many stores looking for woman's sandals that are 1) wide, 2) not pointy in front, and 3) have good arch support. I have very hard-to-fit feet due to my foot shape, but these sandals are extremely comfortable! I would definitely recommend these for anyone who has wide feet and who wants some arch support.

These shoes are great! This is my third pair! I have trouble finding shoes that are cute, narrow and comfortable but these tick all the boxes. The comfort is amazing - great for walking and sight seeing.

Great arch support. I already owned them in black, liked them so well I bought them in brown also.

I love this shoe! I suffer from plantar fasciitis and have had a terrible time finding shoes that are both comfortable and stylish. I get so many compliments on this shoe. The Velcro straps enable me to loosen or tighten the shoe as needed. I own expensive inserts, but I don't need them with this shoe. Because I wear them every day and everywhere, I just ordered another pair in the exact same color. I hope Zappos keeps offering this shoe.

Very comfortable from day one. I can walk all day in them and my feet don't get tired or hurt, and they look nicer then your average comfort sandal.

My skinny boney narrow feet love these sandals, do run just shy of a true 10 but with a sandal you can get away with it.

I'm sad that I have to return this sandal. The strap in front of the ankle is stiff and digs into my skin. I suppose it would soften in time but I don't want to wear moleskin or band aids until then. The foot bed is extremely comfortable but the shoe looks a little too homely for me. I'll keep trying Zappos until I find a winner!

Great shoes, although, they would've been just as beautiful with about an inch lower heel. I don't know what the obsession is. 3 to 3 1/2 inches is perfect. Please make us some shoes too.

I love these shoes! They give you the height without all the pain, they are fun, stylish and come in very rich colors. You wear these for just about any occasion with just about any outfit. I wear a size 12 and they fit wonderfully! I got them in the black, brown and natural with the colored heels. Only one thing you have to be careful of your step because of the height. They are also cushy. I love them!

These are high but do comfortable and cute. They hold my foot well, are true to size and make my legs look great!

These shoes are very attractive, provide great height, but not the pain. If your feet are on the wide side, the little triangle opening on the inside of your foot may irritate, so walk around the house for a bit to feel it out. They soften up quickly.

I love the shoes!!! The only problem is that they are too high. I'm use to high shoes, but not for what I want to use them for. Really comfortable and very pretty shoes. I have to return them.

Love these shoes, although they are a bit heavy, and don't flex as I would like.

The shoes were beautiful and look good on your feet, however they were just slightly too narrow. I bought the leather, they may have stretched, but I didn't want to take the chance. I had to send them back. All Nine West shoes that I have tried seem slightly narrower than marked.
