These are wonderful, comfortable, supportive shoes. I am a teacher, on my feet all the time, and I love them so much I have them in 3 colors. Never did that before with any shoe. Lightweight, too!

I love these shoes so much I bought three pairs (one in each color). They are sporty enough to wear with running stuff and they are girly enough to wear with a casual skirt or dress. The comfort is excellent. I wear them when I travel through airports (lots of walking with luggage) and wear them when I go shopping in big malls. I have received many compliments and have steered lots of women who want to buy them toward Zappos. The red ones are my favorite - they make me happy when I look at them! Unfortunately, I recall that I bought the last red pair - so life will be a little dull without them when they are retired from duty.

I absolutely love these shoes. We have to wear closed toed shoes at work, so it's always a struggle getting something cool enough for the summer. The low heels and the open weave of the uppers are the closest to being a sandal. On my feet all day, the built in arches provide perfect support--they were comfortable right out of the box. And they're cute, besides!

Comfy, but not enough support -
I usually buy Danskos and Finn Comforts almost exclusively, but I'm tired of those styles and so I was hoping to branch out. If you don't have any foot or ankle problems but are on your feet a lot, these will be great for you. They are comfortable and roomy, although they may get a little hot. As for me, I need lots of arch support, and these don't quite make the grade. If you are a Dansko kind of girl, these don't provide nearly the same kind of support. But like I said if you don't need major arch support then these are very comfortable and cute in a sporty way. The silver one looks more lavender in person, which I really like.

Great shoes! These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. For some reason, though, I was surprised that there was no real heel to them. That kind of bothered me at first. They're more like a clog. But, that said, they're still cute and very comfortable. I have only worn them barefoot, but I think there is enough room with the adjustable strap for me to wear them with socks.

I put on my new Merrell Encore Mary Janes, wore them to stand on my feet for 10 hours and never realized I even had on shoes. More than comfortable and they get better as they conform to your feet. Great style with the velcro strap to adjust to narrow feet. "Houston"

Love these shoes -
I'm entering my last month of pregnancy and have been wearing sandals since the weather warmed up. As my feet have gotten more swollen the sandals were no longer comfortable. I was looking for something light weight and cool, as well as comfortable that would accommodate the swelling in my feet. I have found it in these shoes. I've had the shoes for a few days and I'm so happy I decided on this model. I ordered the shoes in both black and beige and love them both. These shoes will carry me through the rest of my pregnancy and beyond. For me these are so much more comfortable than wearing running shoes and heavy socks in June and July.

I tried these on a friend’s recommendation. I needed something for warmer weather with capris but not warm enough for sandals yet. I also needed something for standing on my feet for 8 hours. These were perfect for both. I love them. Very comfortable, my feet were not tired at the end of the day and no break in period needed. I have got many compliments on them, they are so cute! Zappos is sooooo fast. I ordered on Thursday after my morning shift and they were on my front porch when I got home Friday from work. Thanks Zappos!

I bought these in black after seeing them on someone out and about. Bought specifically to wear at work and at casual outings. The fact that they are backless is a bit of a drawback if you have to walk any distance but they are comfortable and look nice. I wore them indoors a couple days and was initially going to return them but after wearing them I adjusted to the backless thing. If I had put them on in the store and walked around I would not have gone home with them but the Zappos option to try them out indoors sold them.

One of my favorites -
I love these shoes. I've had them a month or two and wear them often. I have arthritis in my feet so I need a comfortable, well made shoe that doesn't pinch. These fit the bill. They also have good support. Plus, I think they're cute. I love the ease of a slip on, but with the strap so they don't slide off. I'm going to order another pair in a different color since whenever you find a shoe you like, it's usually discontinued when you want another pair.

I have gotten so many compliments on these shoes. I have a high arch, but these fit my arch with no problem. I’m an outpatient nurse and am on feet a large part of the day. These shoes take me through the day with my feet feeling comfortable with no rubbing, even with no socks. I also like that they go with so many outfits. I liked them so much that I also have a pair in a brown suede.

These shoes were great, I got them for a vacation where I had lots of walking planned and they were as comfortable as I was hoping they would be! They are pretty well cushioned and supportive and very lightweight. I picked them out after reading reviews and I thought they were great for travel! I wasn’t crazy about how they looked at first, but they’ve grown on me and now I really like the style, too.

There shoes are very comfortable. Good to do a lot of walking in. The support on the shoe is wonderful. Since the shoe doesn’t cover your heel completely, I didn’t know if they would slip off of my heel, but they don’t. They are also super light in weight and airy. They look cute with jeans, shorts, and capris. Great shoe for the spring and summer, you don’t have to wear socks with them.

I absolutely love these shoes. I have hammertoes, and these shoes are deep enough so that the "hammered" toes do not rub on the top. Also, they breathe and are washable. I just throw them in the washer once a week and air dry - they come out perfect. So soft and cushiony...I'm ordering more. They are a little wider than normal, because usually I take a wide size, but just medium in this style.

These are terrifically comfortable, so much so that I ordered a pair in another color. I have narrow feet and plantar fasciitis and I can wear them all day without out a problem.

Cute and comfortable -
I really like the look of these shoes and they seemed comfortable so I thought I would be able to wear them for a long walk right out of the box. I wore socks, but the top strap rubbed blisters on the tops of my feet. If I loosened the straps much the shoes would not stay on my feet. I have a narrow foot, so I really need the straps to keep the shoes on, but one problem I have is that if I try to wear them without socks I can't tighten the strap enough because I run off the velcro. I guess I need to tuck in the strap to shorten it. I normally wear a 10, but got these in 9.5. They are big enough, but my left foot is slightly longer than my right and on long walks the left shoe hurts my extra-long second toe. I am sure a 10 would be too big, so I am keeping these even though they are not perfect.

Awesome shoes for pregnancy -
I'm 25 weeks pregnant and I go everywhere in these shoes. Next to my Earth Rockets (tennis shoes), they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned and are stylish enough to wear to work and durable enough to wear on long walks. I ordered a half size smaller than I usually wear and they fit perfectly.
Washable is also a huge plus - I've machine washed the soles twice and hand washed the outside and insides of the shoe after they got muddy. Good as new.
And they arrived in two days on regular shipping! Thanks Zappos.

The Mary Jane style looks great with skirts and capris and don't look like clunky, comfort shoes. The shoe feels breathable when it's on, but after wearing them a couple of times barefoot, there is a slight odor. We'll see if it becomes obvious. I'm not sure if the shoes are comfortable enough for all-day wear sight-seeing on cobble-stoned streets as I had hoped, but they are great for all-day wear on a normal day. Thanks Zappos for great service!
