A wonderful, comfortable little shoe for spring and summer...church, luncheon with the girls. Such a nice heel and the little studs give it just the right pizazz. Nicely narrow for my skinny feet but a little long...I sized down from 8.5 to 8. I think I'll buy another pair in pewter for those still hot fall days to come.

These shoes fit so well. The straps stretch and expand to fit my foot. Due to a high arch and protruding bone on top of my foot, it is difficult to find a comfortable fitting shoe that isn't ugly. The heel is a nice height and the shoe offers healthy support. I also require a wide width and this is exactly wide without being too much so at the heel. (often wide shoes have a huge space at the heel) The length of the size 6 is just right.

The problem with this D width shoe (as is the problem with most D width shoes), unless your foot is WIDE from toe to heal, this shoe will be too big around the heal and arch. I am a D width, but only across the metatarsals. Because of this shoe having elastic straps, I was hoping the arch and heal part of the shoe would be snug while allowing for the wide width at the metatarsal and toe area, but no, this is wide from toe to heal and too much slack in the arch, ankle, and heal. Otherwise, it is a nice shoe and would recommend it if your foot is overall larger.

I LOVE these shoes. I have a wide foot with a narrow heel. So many shoes that are wide enough are too loose in the heel. These are prefect. The straps have just enough give for all-day wear. I wear them with dresses, capris, and shorts. They match everything. I bought the navy and the color is matches so much. They are worth the money. I have been wearing them 3-4 days a week for two months and they still look like new. A great purchase.

I ordered my regular size but it was too big. I liked these shoes but would have to go smaller. They were very comfortable and looked very nice.

Bought the Bella Vita Paula II in black last year and literally wore them out. Bought the bone color this year and they fit like a dream the moment I slopped them on. Size and width are exact.

I loved these shoes, but after a couple of weeks of wearing them everyday they developed a squeak. I don't know if the stitching came loose or something but when I'm walking on carpet I can hear a squeak like air is escaping from sole of the shoe.

9W is too long and 8W is too narrow. Very beautiful shoe - just doesn't work for me feet.

These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. Wear all day at work without a problem. Stretch is snug but loosens with time.

Worth the wait! I bought these several years ago in pewter and love them. They were not available in black in my size until this month - finally, hooray!

I own these in bone and navy. They are stylish and comfortable. I have a difficult time finding shoes that fit my narrow, flat feet that are supportive and cute. These fill the bill. Highly recommend.

Color "pewter" works perfectly with both black, beige or navy clothing and definitely feminine enough to wear with a dress. Elastic straps come up high so shoe feels secure for walking with perfect heel height. Only unknown is how comfortable strapping will feel against the foot after wearing for an extended period on a hot day (for me, that is always an issue with sandals but foot powder helps). A plus: the strap spacing avoided my bunion.

I love the shoes. They fit really wide feet comfortably. They are too long so order one size smaller.

Beautiful and very comfortable shoe. Have worn out shopping for hours and my feet feel great. Originally ordered these in a size 12 M, there was too much room in the toe so I reordered in a size 11. Perfect fit! Thinking about ordering in other colors.

These are a great shoe: very comfortable and well constructed, but they do run pretty long, even for Bella-Vita.

These run really long. They are nice and comfortable once you get the fit. However, the pewter appear brownish on the website, but they are definitely gray in real life.

Love this shoe! It is incredibly comfortable. I found it very true to width and especially accommodating of a wide foot due to the elastic. It was, however, very long, and had to order a 1/2 size smaller than I normally buy.

I usually wear an 8. Reordered in a size 7.5 and they were also too long. Reordered again in a size 7. They arrived in time for our beach wedding and they were perfect! Very comfortable and I am picky about comfort and style level. Glad I kept at it because getting the details and size right were essential for this day!

I am always challenged to find a comfortable, wide shoe that is stylish and "walkable." The Paula II does it all: comfort, a lower heel, stretchy straps and the coral color rocks. Buy this shoe!

This sandal runs long. I normally wear a 7 WW, but I will need a 6.5 WW in this style. Otherwise, it's a cute sandal and is true to size in width.

Finally a stylish strappy shoe that fits my narrow feet perfectly! Wore these every night on our cruise and they looked great with slacks and dresses.

I love these sandals. I wear a 9ww and it is very hard to find a pair of cute, stylish sandals that are comfortable. These sandals fit the bill. I highly recommend them. I have them in 2 colors now.

Love these! The elastic straps make it easy to fit my wide in some places, narrow in others, very high instep foot. I can't say that very often. I bought these for a family wedding. 9.5 hours later we go to the end of the reception and my feet didn't hurt. Miraculous!
