I wear 9.5 narrow size shoes which are sometimes hard to find. Zappos emailed me as requested when these shoes became available in my size. My insert fits when I remove the insert that comes with the shoes. These shoes fit well and are very comfortable.

Luckily, this shoe comes in a narrow width and that is a big issue for me to find shoes that fit. It is a comfortable shoe, however the sole does not have the flexibility that I would like. I like the appearance.

These shoes are great for hiking. I have an extra wide foot with a high instep. They were comfortable right out of the box.

Love - Love these shoes! They feel great, no breaking in, plenty of support with enough cushion. Use them for Nursing 13 hr shifts. I want another pair to wear around when not working.

Super comfy right out of the box! I have an extremely narrow, hard to fit foot, and these are a wonderful fit for me!

I love this shoe, and wanted to thank everyone who wrote a review by writing one myself. I had been wearing a pair of Privos that looked very similar, but they were very beat up after years of walking the dog and going to the health club. These fit perfectly, true to size, as the reviewers said. I am a 9 and an 8.5 would have been too short. They give incredible support and I have a feeling I will wear them much more than the Privos because of the great support. I have had lots of foot surgeries, but am very active and athletic. These give sufficient support for lots of walking. I had a narrow foot before all the surgeries, but now my toes need room. These shoes caress my instep but my toes have room and the cushioning and support are perfect. I got the black/red and it's classic looking. They are so great, I may get another pair. Perfect out of the box.

Bought these for my first vacation at Disney World and was very happy with these shoes. We walked almost 9 miles a day and I didn't form any blisters. My right foot has a bunion making it 8 3W so I got the 8.5 WW and there was no pinching at my bunion. I now wear these every day.

I was looking for a shoe to wear around the house and to the store and these are great. I have a wide foot and these fit perfect with lots of room for toes.

I have worn the Reebok Princess for the past 10+ years, but the last few pairs just haven't been the same-they no longer seem to have cushioning in the footbed, and felt very hard. These shoes were exactly what I have been looking for! So comfortable the moment I put them on, and no need to "break them in". Excellent cushioning in the footbed, and they look great too. I even ordered a second pair! I ordered my usual size, and they fit great.

These shoes are extremely comfortable. Each time I wear them, I am surprised again how light-weight they are. Easy Spirit are always good quality, but not usually so light to wear. Love them!

This is a nice shoe ;-) Looks even better in person. First pair of Easy Spirits. Usually wear a heavy support athletic shoe but this is very light and strong. Love the way it laces up with lots of 'give'. True to size with wiggle room - don't bump up a size for this one. Great day to day walking shoe, like slippers with support.

This are very cute and diff. looking than most "tenny runners" The blue is a great color for jeans too. Hard to find that true Navy and jean blue color but these are perfect and comphy too. Ordered an 8 which is my normal size and it was perfect.

I bought these to start working with my trainer and they're a dream. Walking, running, strength, flexibility, they haven't let me down on any exercise yet. A great general purpose who for trips to the gym. These look very blue in the picture but in person they don't have that huge of a contrast (although they are definitely blue). If I wear them with dark jeans, they pass for black. Like them well enough to buy in another color combo.

I bought these in my regular size 8 M and they feel a little short and narrow. I tried to go up to a 9 but that didn't work. I settled for and 8 1/2 M and although they feel a little snug, can't get them anywhere in an 8 1/2 W. I bought a pair in white in 8 1/2 W and they fit perfectly. Very comfortable for my aching feet (Plantar Fasciitis, arthritis, etc). Hope Easy Spirit comes back with more color choices again and more sizing options too.

I have high arches, high insteps, and wide feet. The shoes fit those problem areas, but the insole felt lumpy. They need more cushioning.

Not the most flattering shoe but the cushioning is fabulous. While the heel in the narrow size fit great my toes were too crowded for long distance walking which is what I do. Returning.

I had to try 3 different sizes before deciding. 8M is my regular size. The 8M in this shoe was too short and tight. The 9M was a little too loose. I kept the 8.5M and hope they will stretch out a little because this one seemed the most secure on my feet. I love the sole with excellent traction and hope to see more shoes in the future with this feature. The boots I bought have the same sole and that's what attracted me to these shoes. I hope these work out after I break them in more. Very comfortable. I tried some styles of Merrell but they were too heavy and stiff. Easy Spirit shoes are lightweight yet a stiff sole which is what the doctor ordered.

I was looking for a dark shoe for winter and something that did not irritate my Plantar Fascitis. The shoe was very comfortable to wear, light weight and firm support. However that was the wrong combination for my foot. My heel was quite stiff in the mornings after a few days of wearing. I liked the shoe well enough that I kept it though and just don't wear it everyday, all day long. If it were not for my personal foot problem I would have given this shoe 5 stars for comfort and overall.

My only complaint would be the length of the shoelaces. I put in huge loops and double-knot them and the laces still hang on the ground. Otherwise, love them.

These shoes don't look like your every day athletic walking shoes. I usually get New Balance, so this is an experiment. I wear them for walking at least 3 miles every day. They are a little stiff, especially at the ankle. I'm hoping they will break in eventually. They do keep your feet much warmer than the mesh type. If the stiffness persists, I'll return to New Balance, especially since they are U.S. made.

As noted, does run a half size bigger. I always wear a size 7 so ordered the 6.5 & the 7 & had to return the 7's. I can wear some regular width shoes though lately need a wide. The WW was perfect so maybe the regular wide would have been too tight. Best is that they don't look so wide on my feet like my previous Brooks sneakers do. Very comfortable padding inside especially around the heel so no need to break them in. A great purchase!

I find these to be pretty comfortable. Based on the reviews I ordered my usual size, but TBH I think I should have gone a half size up. I have wide, fat feet though, so your usual size may work for you if your feet are not like mine. :)

My feet are generally screwed up and asymmetrical after multiple foot surgeries, so since I started walking for exercise again I've had trouble finding shoes that fit both feet well and are also good for my feet and my stride. After several misfires I bought three pairs of Easy Spirit shoes, of which this model is one. Although I agree with others that the arch support could certainly be better, I think it's probably ok for most people, though it was not for me at first. Due to the warning about sizes for the e360 collection, I ordered a 7w for this vs. 7.5w for the other two Easy Spirit models. I expected all 3 pairs to feel about the same but this one does fit more snugly than the others at a half size smaller, to the point that I found adding an arch support made it too tight. But I liked the design and reserved it for shorter walks (<=2 miles). Over time, I'm finding that my arches aren't sore at the end of these walks like they were in the beginning and that my stride is very easy in these. I am going to see how they do on longer walks, as the other two pairs are possibly too loose, and require insoles to keep my foot from sliding around inside (a problem I never have with these). I currently have grey/purple combo and love they way they look, but will be getting a black pair either in this or another e360 style. I would highly recommend this shoe to anyone who doesn't need a lot of arch support, and with caution to those who do. On an aesthetic note, unlike many mesh shoes they still look great after 2 months of regular street and sidewalk walking; they don't look dirty or worn.

I purchased these following the instructions to order 1/2 smaller, but when I did them were too snug and felt narrow. I got a new pair that is my normal size, 8 1/2 WW, and now they fit perfect.

This is the coolest, most attractive, comfortable 'walk, or go anywhere in the daytime' shoe I've bought from Easy Spirit brand, and I have many! Looks great, the extra wide is wide enough for my problematic wide feet, comfy and look great!
