Customer Reviews Bella Vita Paula II

I have bunion feet, both of which have been corrected by surgery... finding comfy shoes is quite tricky. I was hesitant about this shoe because of the elastic strap construction. I have decided to keep it. Comfy and hoping the straps hold up and don't stretch out!

Comfortable but way longer than a normal 9. The shoe was a good inch longer than I needed. Too bad to, because it was really cute.

I usually wear a 7.5, ordered a 7 since strappy heels fit better for me. Had to reorder a 6.5 size as a 7 was too big. The 6.5 left shoe felt amazing, but the right has some stitching or something that rubbed horribly painful on the back of the heel. Returning and ordering another pair of 6.5's, the style is amazing, I love it, fingers crosses they both feel like the left shoe!

I was very happy with these shoes. They were so comfortable, I didn't even feel that I was wearing.

I love this shoe; looks really great on foot except that it is really long; tried 7WW in black then 6WW in coral...they were both about the same length, leaving about 1 - 1.5 inches past my toes...on the list to try the 5WW black if it comes back in stock; regular size is 6-6.5WW.

I have lymphedema in both feet, so I searched for very wide widths and some support. Sandals are usually out of the question. I ordered these (for a wedding) in an 8½WW and they fit wonderfully. The elastic is a great help just where my feet are widest. But the toe area was way too long. I sent the shoe back and tried a whole size smaller hoping and hoping that my toes would squeeze in (because the three bottom straps are not elastic). The 7½ just arrived and they fit! Based on other reviews of the fragile soles, I will be careful with these shoes and maybe order another standby pair? It is so hard to find summer shoes for such huge feet!

Nice style and stretchy straps comfortable. Unfortunately the sizing of the sole is a bit off leaving a lot of empty space at front of the sandal. Ordered my normal size 8 which was too big and exchanged for 7.5 which still left too much area at front of shoe. May want to order full size smaller than normal however the overall proportion of the shoe might be an issue. Usually love Bella Vita products and always a pleasure doing business with Zappos. Just a poor fit for my feet on this style.

Great shoe! I love the style and the heel height. The sizing was not right for me. I usually wear a 7 wide. This one was too long and too wide. I will try a 6.5 wide as I want to see this one work!

Very happy with these shoes. I have feet that are hard to fit - short and extra wide in the toe box area. They were very comfortable right out of the box. The heel area was a bit wide for me but that worked out to my advantage. I could fit my orthotics in them, which made the shoe length perfect and added additional arch support. Overall, very cute and versatile shoes. Can definitely dress them up or down. Received lots of compliments.

This sandal is so cute; probably even cuter on my foot than in the pictures. The elastic straps make it so comfortable to wear and walk in without feeling like I'm going to lose my shoe. The only issue with this sandal was its length. I ordered the 7WW and the width was perfect for my fat feet, but there was an extra inch of sandal in front of my toes! I would probably have to go down a whole size to get the right length, and then the width wouldn't be right. So sadly, these are going back.

These are very cute low heeled sandals for spring/summer dresses, but I took note of the other reviews and ordered half a size smaller than I usually wear and they fit perfectly. I wear a narrow width and that is what I ordered, but they are still a bit wide than I would have expected for narrow. They are workable, though.

This is the first shoe my surgically corrected and arthritis ridden feet can stand. I am wondering how the cloth-covered sole will stand up, but since I will use them for dress wear only, I'm hoping. Can not say enough for the Zappos service. It is the only place I can shop for shoes.

These shoes are really comfy and fairly stylish. I'm a little worried about the elastic stretching, but for now I am enjoying them. I get lots of compliments.

These are really cute, but were huge on me. I am a 10 2E in sneakers so thats the size I ordered. My toes sat under the last set of straps and the side straps were clearly too big. I assume they were at least a whole size too big, but width felt good.

I have a narrow foot and even a narrow can be a little too wide. I had to put a foot pad in to make it tighter. Otherwise, shoe is very comfortable. The straps did not rub or irritate my feet wearing them all day. Wish they came in brown also.

Fits great, very comfortable and practical heel make this shoe perfect for me this spring. What is not perfect? Color is more blue-grey than Navy. Sole will probably wear quickly, so expect some additional investment in repair.

Just received these today. Was concerned after reading some of the comments on this shoe but it fits great and is so cute. My only concern is that the bottom of the shoe (from the arch to toes) has a 'felt like' material. Am concerned with slipping. Otherwise, really like them.

Problem with elastic I liked this shoe so much that I ordered a second pair. I have finicky feet, and I've used and enjoyed both pairs. However, I have to report a quality control issue: after just a few wearings (and in spite of the fact that I was gentle when putting on the shoes), the elastic closest to the ankle has stretched noticeably. The shoes were not cheap, so this is very disappointing.

I received these shoes today and have not taken them off yet! They are so cute and comfortable! I cannot wait to wear them in public. They are a tad bit long in the toe, but not too bad. These are keepers!

I am very picky about my shoes - they have to feel just right. These are the ticket for me. They are cute and comfortable.

LOVE this sandal/shoe! Very comfortable, especially for a wide foot. As others have mentioned, it is a little long at the toe. I ordered a 9 1/2WW at first then exchanged for a 9W and fits great (still a little long past the toe, but smaller shoe would not have fit, I don't think).

I loved this shoe, but taking it out of the box I looked at the sole, then my feet. Uh oh! Still, hope springs eternal...until one tries on the shoes. I admit my feet are not dainty - 11 WW. The baby toe was just wide enough over the outside of the sole that it kept hooking into the straps. Additionally, I have a very high instep and arch which may also have altered how well the strapping fit over the foot. Goodbye pretty shoe - back to Zappos to find your forever home.

I first ordered these in a wide because I'm developing a bunion on my foot, when I received the shoe, the wide was way too wide so I'm returning them for a M size 8. The shoe is really cute and I'm hoping I won't have to return them!

Loved the style. Tried different sizes but couldn't find one that fit! Sadly had to return them.

These were one if not two sizes too big! Maybe they were mis-sized?? Cute and comfy, but huge!
