Fits good. Leather is so soft!! These shoes are perfect for me because I have hammer toes and bunions!! I have a real hard time finding any shoes I can wear but these are so soft they don't hurt my feet!! It's hard to find cute shoes for my feet and most of the orthopedic shoes just don't appeal to me!!Very glad I found these!! And I am ordering another pair of shoes from you!

These are the lightest weight, mold to your feet shoes I have ever warn. I absolutely recommend them. First pair I bought in a store several years ago in brown. Wanted another pair in black, when the store didn't have my size I checked on Zappos and was delighted they had them. Great arch. The best shoes I have!

They were a bit larger than the same pair in black and a bit wider. The color is a nice bronze. They are very comfortable but casual.

Ordered for my mother who has difficulty with shoes due to a bunion/hammer toe. So far she really likes these, very comfortable. Did need a size up (probably a half would have done if available). Ordered in both colors. Thanks for the easy return with the size change.

I read the reviews and ordered one size larger as suggested. I have terrible bunions and the wide toe box and the soft material make these shoes very comfortable. The heels are a bit wide but my feet are very narrow and the only way I can wear this style is because they strap on. The shoes are wide enough and the heels deep enough to accommodate my custom orthotics. The insoles are removable so my orthotics slip right in. I love the comfort of these shoes. I have only worn them around the house, but believe they will be as comfortable as the Arcopedico short boots I've worn all winter.

Never in my life have I put on such a comfortable pair of shoes. I wanted to cry. And they didn't even need broken in. I am so very happy with this purchase.

These are very comfortable shoes. They fit like ballet slippers on the top, but with excellent support and structure on the bottom. My sore, tired feet and I are very pleased.

I bought these shoes last spring and wore them almost nonstop during a 9-day trip to Amsterdam in May, where I did a lot of walking (I had brought along sneaker-type shoes, but for some reason they were uncomfortable and I didn't wear them). I was so glad to have these shoes and they are invaluable for walking. I live in NYC and walk a lot and they are wearing well. Will probably order another pair as well. As someone with a hammer toe and bunions, I find shoe shopping a pain in the neck, but when I find a pair that works, I'm over the moon.

When I first tried on these shoes, I didn't think they were very comfortable. The band on the top of my foot was tight, and my bunion felt crunched against the side. However, I decided to give them a try based on the good reviews. After wearing them for a day or two, I love them! They have stretched and conformed to my foot, and very comfortable. I do wish the arch support was better, and I wish this company would sell more shoes that are appropriate for the work place. This is the only pair of their line I found that I could wear to work, and even then, these only work for casual days.

I'm about ready to order my third pair of L18 Arcopedico Mary Janes, I love them! They are not cheaply made nor are they ugly! I don't have bunions or corns but, I do have diabetic neuropathy, and they are very comfortable, keeps the burning at a minimum. I can wear them longer. They are washable, and air dry. Please don't ever discontinue this style.

These were a replacement for a pair I had worn out after six years. Super comfortable and go well with everything. My only complaint with my replacement pair is a sign of its handmade quality -- the straps are unaccountably a little short on this new pair so that when closed at a comfortable tightness across the instep the end of the Velcro is left bare. Certainly wasn't the case on my original pair. Not worth sending back when the overall shoe is wonderful but something to note if it bothers you -- another pair of the same shoe is likely to be slightly different.

I love these shoes and will return though for a size 40. I have love these shoes as they don't hurt my bunions or hammer toe!! They are soft and conform to my foot. I have 2 pairs of boots and will have 3 other pairs of shoes that are Archopedico.

Finding comfortable shoes with my bunion and hammertoe is almost impossible, but these are comfortable. The toe area is so comfortable. However, the shoe has very little support, sort of like wearing house slippers which is a plus for comfort but not for support. I wear my orthotics and that helps. Arcopedicos are wonderful for those of us with very troublesome feet.

I don't normally bother to write reviews, but these are absolutely the best pair of shoes I've ever bought, bar none. These cute little shoes feel like slippers and wear like iron. They even have great arch support! I bought them before a trip to Europe and logged miles and miles in them every single day on cobblestone streets and my feet felt great even at the end of a long day of walking. The material is soft, it's quite water-resistant, it's vegan, it's stylish, it's a winner. As soon as I got back I ordered another pair just to have one in reserve for when this one eventually wears out.

I have a bunion and these shoes are fantastic! Incredibly comfortable and have arch support as well. I walked all over Germany in them and never got tired or aching feet. I was amazed myself!

Love everything about the L18 shoe! I don't find that it runs small nor do I think it is cheaply made. I bought 4 pair, all different colors, of course. I am absolutely thrilled to have found such a reasonably priced shoe that is so comfortable and offers such wonderful support for all day wear. I can't say enough good things about this particular style and brand shoe, none of the negative comments I read, apply to my experience with these shoes and I am getting ready to re-order 4 additional pair just like the ones I have! I have broken each foot twice and have a bone on top of my left foot in front of my big toe, which makes it extremely hard to find shoes to easily and comfortably fit my feet. Thank goodness I found the Arcopedico L18 style shoe!

Very comfortable. Not much lateral support. Great shoe to put on when you come home or to wear for a casual meal out. Not good for much walking.

Okay, lets just be honest here...this is not particularly pretty...but don't judge a book by its cover, these shoes feel great! I had recent foot surgery to repair a bunion and 4 hammertoes and this is the first shoe I have put on other than the required tennis shoes, and it fills the bill. I usually wear an 8B, but I ordered the 40 to get enough length. This shoe definitely feels wider than a B with a roomy toe box to accommodate my post surgical swelling and because the mary jane strap is in place, it works very nicely on my unaffected foot as well. Soft uppers with a molded sole that is very supportive. Thanks Zappos!

These shoes practically cured my bunion pain! I have large bunions that stick out and have always had to wear wide, oversized shoes, but the flexible fabric of these shoes stretch around my bunion without adding pressure, and the flexible sole allows my foot to bend where it wants. I've been wearing the L18's almost exclusively for over 2 years, and my bunion pain is gone! It's sad that I only discovered these after I had surgery on my left bunion, so now I have no reason to do a second surgery and my feet are asymmetric. But as much as I rely on these shoes: they are thin and could use more arch support, so I do recommend adding high-arch insoles, and they run small, so order 1-2 sizes up! I also agree with another comment that these shoes are not ideal for walking more than a few blocks at a time - but for work where I stand and walk short distances all day, these are life savers!

These shoes are awesome! Very comfortable and durable. I've had mine for going on 18 months. They still look great and feel even better. The material may look deceptively thin, but I've had no trouble from them wearing or getting rubbed. And the best thing is, when they get dirty, drop those babies in the washing machine and they will come out looking clean and new. Can't be beat for my money.

How can a pair of shoes have such great support, (arch support and heal support), comfort and light as a feather and still feel like you are putting on a ballerina slipper? I love them.

An excellent, really comfortable shoe. I wore it on vacation as my only shoe. I thought it was fine for walking and going out for dinner too.

The shoes are very cute and light weight. Very flexible. However, after wearing in the house for several hours and days, they don't work for me. Somehow they cause my back and legs to hurt it is as if I need Too go to the chiropractor. I had back surgery several years ago and since then it has been very difficult to find shoes that don’t causes a great deal of pain. I’m sure they will work just fine for others!
