These are great shoes. Because of ankle problem I am limited in my choices but need office professional shoes. These work great with pant suits and of course on weekends. They FEEL great!

NICE LOOKING, COMFORTABLE SHOE -
LOVE THESE SHOES! They are the best looking shoes in my closet - it's very hard to find shoes for diabetic feet that aren't incredibly ugly. These are as close to "feminine" shoes as I can get, AND they are very comfortable. I do add a Spenco innersole, and there still is plenty of room in the toe box. Just wish that Zappos could get them in my size in the taupe color - I already have the black and brown suede - and in the plain leather rather than just the suede.

This is my favorite shoe. PW Minor is so comfortable and support an orthodic insert. I have 3 pairs of PW Minors and look forward to their new styles. I have arthritis, bone spurs in my feet and love the way this shoe has a kind of spring in the heel. Very comfortable.

Disappointing -
I couldn't tell how poorly the heels fit my foot (c-d width) until I walked outside and in more places than just on my carpet; and then it was too late to return them. No diabetic considerations, I just wanted a very comfy shoe that was not a sneaker. I find the soles too stiff, and this seems to be why the heels flop up and down, even with 2 sets of heel pads. If I do much walking, I end up with blisters in the heel area, so these expensive shoes are hardly worn, except at home.

I had purchased the same shoe in brown, but the black seemed a bit tighter (narrow). Hopefully they will stretch.

A more stylish tie shoe -
A roomy toe-box, I like that these shoes don't look clunky, and are a little more stylish than your standard tie shoe. The first time I wore them was to work. A hard way to "break in" new shoes, since they were on my feet for at least 18 hours. At the end of the day I felt no irritation or sore spots; my feet felt fine. Although my feet were OK at the end of the day, I have flat feet and the shoes have no arch support. Also I'd like the shoes to have a more cushion-like feel.

The look is good--the fit not so much. I ordered these in 9.5W. The toes fit well but the heel is very loose. So loose that I had to send them back. The overall look is non-clunky, even sleek, for a lace-up shoe. But if you have wide feet with narrow heels this one won't work for you.

A wide shoe that looks relatively streamlined.
Some of the other PW Minor shoes that I have tried for my very wide foot look clunky, but the Bella has a streamlined shape and looks like something a person might choose to wear! Because the 4W is actually wide enough for my foot, I wear a full size smaller in this shoe than usual.

Comfortable and [relatively] good looking!
Had to order a half size smaller, but this is a comfortable, roomy shoe with nice support for me, despite significant foot problems. I can wear them all day comfortably - my one issue is that the top edge of the shoe by my ankle is very hard and unyielding, so it rubs - PW Minor should line that edge with a bit of soft leather to make it more forgiving. Still like the shoe so much that I ordered it in every color available, although I couldn't get the others from Zappos because they didn't have my size/width available.

4E shoes not a true 4E -
I just received my shoes and they are too narrow. This is not a true 4E! Also the quality was poor on the medial side of the left shoe. The shoes look good, but for the price the quality could be better.

Style, comfort, support - It's hard to believe that these shoes are coded for diabetic shoes – they're just too pretty!!! I ordered them in black and taupe and will probably go back and order the brown. Easy on the feet, easy on the eyes. Great shoe!!! Thanks Zappos for your continuing great service!

Poor stitchery -
I liked every thing about the appearance of the shoe - although my husband thought the black sole on the brown shoe was unattractive - too aggressive-looking - he would have preferred a sole that matched, or came closer to, the color of the shoe.
My gripe is with the stitching around the top of the heel - it is very rough - and I am going to take it to a shoemaker to put a piece of leather over the stitching - an added expense that I don't really want, but I can't wear the shoes otherwise. The problem is partly design, I think, but also the result of sloppy workmanship.

Good but could use one improvement -
The shoe’s width was great. I wear EE and it was comfortable. I just felt my foot needed to be down in the shoe more in the back to make it even more comfortable. I didn't feel it was deep enough. Heel height was good as I wear a prosthesis and need to pay particular attention to heel height.

Very comfortable -
Very easy on the heel. Able to wear to work with suits. My feet usually get very tired and achy at the end of the day, but these are very comfortable.
