Customer Reviews Easy Spirit AP1

I was disappointed with the width of the shoe. I normally love Easy Spirit shoes but this pair was unwearable for me.

I like these shoes and they are comfy except the heels are too wide for me. I have a previous pair of the same model of Easy Spirit that are PERFECT which prompted me to buy another. These are fine except for the heel portion. I decided to live with it rather than return the shoes and just buy some inserts for the heels.

This shoe was for my 99 plus 10 month old mother. She has this exact Easy Spirit shoe that she has worn for many years. This shoe was to be a replacement. However this shoe slides off her foot with every step. Both shoes were made in China. The shoe size printed in this shoe is 7M. Her old shoe (identical looking in every way) is printed as 7B/2AA. There seems to be a change in sizing. The heel in this shoe is too wide. Very disappointing as the shoe is well made and exactly what my mom wanted. Unfortunately, it must be returned as the shoe is too big as sized.

very cute shoes but absolutely no arch support.

Nice looking lace up shoe that does not look too clunky. However, I found the toe box too narrow.

These were too wide in the heel and there was very little arch support.

I wore these shoes for years but now the toe area is too narrow and heal too wide. I wear a 11 N and length is good but just doesn't fit.

I am very disappointed with this shoe. I bought it because it was comfortable, but have discovered it has no substance to it. The sole is so soft it seems like a bedroom slipper and the body is so soft it is stretching way out. There is no support in this shoe. i wear it around the house but don't feel comfortable wearing it to walk outside.

I wear a 6WW in ES Romy which are plenty roomy. This shoe in 6WW is too narrow and has no arch support. It is lightweight but will never fit a wide foot

The shoe was too wide in both heels and slipped with every step I took. Very disappointing. I liked their looks!

Looking for a pair of black leather walking oxfords like this. These would be perfect, if they fit me right, but they are too loose in the heel, and too tight in the toe box.

Needed an 8.5WW. Wanted a more streamlined design rather than those big clunky running shoes. It was difficult to rate how true to size these are because I do need the extra width in the front, widest part of the foot. But the shoe is starting to get out of shape already because it seems they are also wide in the upper part of the shoe and ankle area. Would prefer more support in those areas. Also, the laces keep coming untied easily. But I am grateful someone makes an extra wide in a tennis shoe.

These shoes fit my feet a little weird. They fit, but at the same time the heel was snug. Almost like I was stepping on the back of the heel rather than the heel wrapping around my food. Maybe they're just a tad too short? I got these in a size 9.5 WW. I have wide feet and plantar fasciitis.

This shoe ran true to size for me (8.5N) except in the heel area which is more WIDE than narrow. It slips off my heels, and for a narrow it should hug them. Also, there is not much cushion in the sole/heel area. I wish it fit correctly but returning the shoes.

Although this shoe fit my 6.5WW foot just fine, it was very stiff at the tongue making it very uncomfortable. Sent back.

I found these disappointing because there is virtually no arch support in them.

Nice shoe, but runs too narrow for my narrow feet. Exchanged for medium width and it was way too wide. Sadly, I must return. This shoe just doesn't work for me.

What a disappointment! This shoe has a pointy toe box which squished my toes together, and the heel was wide, and it slipped up and down on my heel. If you could put the shoe on backwards, it probably would have fit better. Poor design for a narrow foot, plus it was very orthopedic looking in the black. It's going back.

I wear a size 7, medium. These shoes fit fine but the heel, in my case, is way too wide. Also, I've only had the shoes a few weeks and the insoles already came out in one of the shoes. I ended up taking both insoles out. These shoes will be relegated to inside use as they are hard to walk in with the heel area being so wide. East Spirit is a good brand, these shoes just do not fit me well and I won't be repurchasing.

Can no longer wear them because they changed the fit. I wore these shoes for 15 years teaching and loved them. They can take orthotics also. However, they have changed the fit so that they no longer have a narrow heel. Therefore, my heel slips out of the shoe and I can no longer wear them. This makes me very sad. Have not found a replacement for these shoes yet. ugh!

Based on many fine reviews, I thought these shoes would be perfect for my walk-in-city-on-rainy-day shoes. I had used Easy Spirit Motion in the past and liked it very much. But I wanted something with a bit thicker sole for my stated use. Unfortunately the pair I received had severe problems. Manufacturing defect? Shoddy quality control? The overall leatherof the shoe softened up very much very fast, except for the area around the opening of the shoe (around ankle area). This area would not soften up and I could feel with my fingers that there was a very tight and rigid cord or cable underneath the leather at the opening. It was painful to my ankle bones and Achilles tendon. Fortunately Zappos issued me a refund. I have worn many shoes of this type over the decades and have never run into anything this weird.

I wear the easy spirit travel time, but these are too narrow in the same size!

As I wear a size 12 shoe, finding what I like is difficult. Liked the looks of these, but was disappointed they have absolutely no support. I can walk better barefoot than with the shoes on. I kept them and will try an insert later.

These shoes are comfortable and not heavy. I decided to order another pair.

The fit and look was what I was looking for.
