    I love Athena shoes for their comfort! I'm a size 4.5 and I usually wear a 4 in Athena, but these seemed to run small with my heel hanging off the back. I just did an exchange for a 5, so we'll see!

    These little shoes (size 6) are not only adorable but they are very comfortable, plus the price is really great. I would happily recommend this sandal to all the ladies. You will be more than pleased.

    Had these shoes in white last summer and loved them. Finding them on Zappos was so easy--done in a couple of minutes. These sandals are comfortable and can be casual or semi-dressy; very versatile. They are on the short side, but the straps gave a little so they fit fine after I broke them in. I have flat feet but no pain with these shoes, even if I wear them all day.

    These are the cutest sandals! And very comfortable. They do run small. I normally wear an 8 and I got these in a 9 and that was perfect, The width is true. These are so comfy and really, really cute, I just love them!

    Per advice from Zappos reviewers, I upsized a 1/2 size on this brand. Although the shoes run small in length, the width is normal to wide, which was perfect for my feet. The straps have enough give to be comfortable without being dangerous. I also think they have a sleek modern look to them. My only critique is that the solid heel is very stiff so that the soles of my feet hurt a little after a long day on my feet. But for normal wear, they are quite comfortable. I would purchase this brand again (again, being careful to go up a 1/2 size from my standard size).

    I love this shoe! I wear a 4.5 (like, Naturalizer size 4.5) and ordered a size 5 after reading reviews that this shoe runs small. But the 5 was too big. With help from the terrific Zappos customer service, I switched to the size 4 which fit perfectly. Thanks, Zappos, for the perfect, hassle-free, exchange!

    This brand is perfect - always fits, not too wide or too narrow, fits my size 5 hard to fit foot. Very comfortable and stylish too. I have four pairs in this brand and it's really the only brand I buy anymore in sandals, although I have two comfortable pairs of Onex and they fit perfectly too.

    I most always wear a size 10, occasionally 9 1/2. I ordered a 10 in these and my foot hung over the back. Order them a half or whole size bigger!

    These shoes are so cute! Unfortunately, they are also so small! I usually wear an 11 or 11 1/2, depending on the shoe, so I followed the advice of other reviewers and ordered the 12. They fit more like size 10. And if your feet are even a bit wider than normal, forget it! I'm disappointed to return these shoes, but there was just no amount of breaking-in that would make them work for me.

    These shoes are comfortable from the get-go! I went to a party and stood on my feet for hours without any problem--which is unusual for me. Very soft leather, great height and high heels without being ridiculous.

    Love it! Very stylish but I wish they'd get the sizing right. I usually wear a 9 and I ordered the 10 based on other reviews and it barely fits. Wonder if I should have ordered an 11.

    I am a size 4 and it's hard to find shoes in that size. Zappos has a great variety, and the service is absolutely magnificent. I have the same shoe in an other color. They are very comfy and fit perfect. Thank you Zappos!

    I have this style in the bronze and black. I also have 3 other Athena Alexanders of different styles. They are all comfortable, but this style is the most comfortable of them all. I grab this when I have to walk all day. It doesn't need any breaking in. It's soft from the get-go.

    Nice basic shoe, but it slipped off my foot very easily (so I returned it). I have a narrow foot, but the medium width felt OK. Very comfy for a heel.

    Comfortable but this shoes runs short and very wide. I normally wear a 9.5 but according to all the reviews, I was told to order a full size up. I ordered a 10 and found it fit length wise but was way too wide and slipped off my foot.

    These shoes are hands down the most comfortable I've had. No break-in necessary. Cute, comfy and the heel is easy to walk in. They are pretty narrow but the leather straps give a little. Get them now!
