I am always on my feet and absolutely love these shoes, I prefer to have these on than just walking in socks in the house, they are just that comfortable.

This is a good looking, apparently well made shoe. The big drawback is that what appears to be a shoelace is permanently attached elastic. Ideally, this might work if the elastic could stretch enough to allow my foot it, and not be stretched while the shoe is on. I did not try it on because a shoe horn would have been needed to get it on. In the position where the elastic is relaxed, the ankle opening is tiny. Since my feet are small for my height, my ankle takes up more of the length of my foot than the ankle of someone who is small enough to be expected to have my shoe size. I think this shoe would only work for a slight, slender person with proportionately long feet.

Venettini Really stepped up with quality this time. My daughter wore her shoes until we needed a bigger size.

I have never bought a pair of Venittini shoes that lasted more than a few months. I do not have this experience with other childrens shoe manufacturers. This leads me to believe that they produce their shoes to a much lesser standard of quality than other companies.
