These are the most comfortable shoes! Every time I where them I get tons of compliments. They are perfect for those of us with a wider foot. Feels like you are wearing slippers. I have two pairs and would love to buy another pair.

These shoes are hands down the most amazingly comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. And they wear great - almost every day for city walking and the sole hasn't worn down, nor has the fabric begun to fray in almost 6 months. Unlike other flats, they do not let my feet get all sweaty and gross - my feet can breathe as if I'm in sandals. I love them!

Overall:

Returned em. These were the strangest fitting shoe I have ever encountered. Not true to size, even when ordering down because it is so awkwardly fitting. The heel was too wide, the toe too narrow, and the mid made me feel like the shoe was going to fall off. Totally killed the cute-factor. Royal, whatsup with that?

Royal Overall rating - These shoes are sick! They look clean as heck, fit real nice on my feet and are true to size. Maybe for others who have different contours of feet will need to adjust their sizing but since these are rare in any department stores, it will be a good idea to get the sizes right or else it would just be a hassle returning them for the right size. Either way, Zappos' service is awesome, the delivery was quick and seamless and I got folks asking me can they get the same shoe.

Overall:

I love this shoe. I was looking for something to replace my Converse slip-ons as my everyday pair of sneakers. These are very sleek, hip (without looking overly "hipster") and quite stylish. They do fit a bit tight when you first put them on. I ordered my normal size, but could have gone a half size up. Luckily, I've noticed that they loosen up a bit once they're broken in. As far as comfort, they're pretty basic – not super cushy – but they do seem to offer a bit more support than my usual Converse. I added heel pads to mine, but that's also because I have super sensitive heels that hurt no matter what shoes I wear.

Love them!!! Very comfortable (even for feet like mine - wide with nasty bunion), super cute, and flattering to the foot. Funky, fun colors; I bought the snake (which is more coppery than it appears in photo) and liked it so much I just ordered the black/hyper yellow. I am tempted to buy more. Yes, the insole does pull out, but I (like a previous reviewer) replaced them with inexpensive Dr. Scholl "pillo" insoles - problem solved. By the way, I normally wear a size 7.5W or an 8, and the 7.5 in these fit perfectly.

Royal Elastics flat - Cute shoe. I ordered 1/2 size too large so I have to exchange it, but it's cute.

Like wearing slippers, but much more stylish!Soooo comfortable! Very flattering to the foot and legs. Be sure to go down ONE FULL SIZE; I normally wear a 10 medium and a 9 fits perfectly. Doesn't rub anywhere. I've washed mine twice (be sure to let them air dry) and they look brand-new each time. Wish I could afford a pair in every color!

Overall:

Really sharp looking pair of sneakers -- my favorite sneaker aesthetically. Slips on snugly and has good foot action. The only down side is that they're pretty narrow in the toe area. If you have normal width feet you'll be fine, but if you have slightly wider feet it'll feel uncomfortable. Order a half size larger in the latter case.

Overall:

I can't say anything good or bad about this shoe. It's not the best that I've had, and also quite pricey. I have worn them several times already, but they still give me blisters. Do use recommendations of other users and buy a half size larger.

Reviewer: Molly B from Denver, CO

Overall:

Doesn't deserve the overwhelming 5-star rating - These just didn't work for me. I even tried 3 different sizes because I thought they'd be perfect for my job this summer and I really wanted them to work. Unfortunately, they offered little to no support and I knew within 30 seconds of trying them that they would rub the backs of my heels raw because the backs hit me right on my tendon. They run very large, larger than my other Royal Elastic shoes that I love. Back these go!

Super "ugly"-cute - I love "ugly"-cute shoes and these are the cutest! I have gotten MANY compliments on these every time I wear them. People I don't know stop me and want to know where I got them. I wear a 91/2 and 9 times out of 10 a size 10 is too big too work so I was worried that these would be going back but they fit perfectly. However, there is NO arch support, they are completely flat inside. I put in an arch support and it is working out great and is not visible.

Comfy, These are great shoes. They run a little big - I went down 1/2 size. The white pair I bought last summer were a tad big. I just washed both pair in the washing machine on gentle. They came out great. (b/c these are fabric/cloth on outside, they tend to get dirtier.) Very comfy; there's enough cushion in the shoe to protect your feet. I'm pregnant for the 2nd year! In a row and I've worn these shoes both summers and they are great.

Overall:

These are the most wonderful ballet flats/sneakers ever!! They are definitely casual, but they look great with a sundress, cover-up, Bermudas or pants. I walked around Universal Studios for two days (10 hour days) without any blisters!! They are like walking in slippers but they look sensational. I have received many compliments from strangers each time I wear them. I got the black/brown and they go with just about everything. They seem to run a bit long, but I kept my normal size as they don't slip off my feet when I walk. I highly recommend this shoe. Thanks, Zappos!

Overall:

Very cool - I like things that are different from what everyone else has and these are that for sure. The split toe looks funky, but after you first put them on you can't even tell its there. They are a little tight over the top of my foot since I have a high instep, but I think they will stretch enough for me to not even notice.

Overall:

Like not wearing a shoe - These shoes could be advertised as slippers. They are very comfortable...as long as you don't want to walk outside.I added 2 gel & foam inserts in an attempt to stiffen them up, but they still hurt my feet. However, they look great. If you don't walk very often you might love them. I live in NYC and walk everywhere. But not in these shoes.

Overall:

Best summer shoe ever!I just love these little shoes. They go with all my summer casuals: white, brown, black or tan! They look great with shorts, capris and skirts. They are super comfortable and light-weight. I am thinking about a second pair--you know how you can't find a replacement later for the perfect shoe?--because I know I'll wear these til they fall apart! I wear an 8 (and sometimes 8-1/2) but 7-1/2 fit generously.

Overall:

Comfortable & cute without being bulky - Really love these shoes. Had the same issue with the lining and it drove me crazy. I finally pulled the lining out and replaced with innersoles that had some arch support. Huge improvement! I can walk miles in them and feel (almost) like I was in sneakers.

If you wear a half size I would order up; split toe is very comfortable, great for traveling. This is my second pair!

Overall:

It's true - they're cute and comfortable - Yep, it feels like wearing slippers and they are super cute. I usually wear pretty complicated shoes with high heels, and these have a very nice minimalist look to them that fits the bill for me on some days. It is almost like being barefoot but with some padding on the soles. The other reviewers are 100% correct that the inside lining loves to come out with your foot when you take the shoe off and it is surprisingly difficult to get it repositioned. Weird! But like other reviewers, I think it's not too high a price to pay for the cute comfortable shoe this is.

Reviewer: Courtney from Illinois

Overall:

Cute but annoying - I really like the looks of this shoe but the way that the insert pulls out so easily when I remove my feet from the shoe is really annoying. Sometimes it happens just when I clench my toes while walking. I have really high arches too so the inside of the shoe sometimes folds up underneath my arch. I'm keeping them b/c they're cute but I won't wear them as much as I thought I would.
