Customer Reviews LifeStride Parigi

Very nice shoe however I ordered a wide size and the shoe was huge. It felt like a whole size bigger than normal.

I've always liked this brand and how they fit. This is at least my 3rd or 4th pair of life stride shoes. The heel height is reasonable and the fit is true and comfortable. The price for the quality is very good as well.

I haven't actually worn these for an extended period of time yet. They are for a wedding that is coming up in a few months. They are VERY pretty shoes - I love how they look on me. As for comfort, well... they are heels so for me that means some amount of pain comes with wearing them. I have foot issues - surgery, scars, fit problems, etc. I wish that they had some arch support and more cushion in the ball-of-foot area. My heel slips a little because I'm in between sizes. However, I was very pleased that the wide size I ordered was actually WIDE. I plan to keep these for wearing on special occasions, and in the next month or so I will try our different inserts to make them more comfortable.

I ordered two pairs of black heels for an upcoming event and really expected to like the much more expensive pair, but these won hands down. I have pretty messed up feet - bunions, previous surgery, etc., so finding heels that aren't straight up painful is like hunting a unicorn. These shoes definitely come close! The heel height was just right and didn't cause extra pressure on the balls of my feet. The toe shape is cute - it's not sexy, but it's definitely not old lady, either. It's a happy medium that will work for lots of occasions. I originally ordered the 8.5W and it was tight across my bunions (for reference, my right foot is the wider one and measures 4.25in across). So I'm going to order the WW and see if that accommodates my nightmare feet a little better. Even still, I would recommend these for someone who needs a wide pair of heels in their shoe wardrobe.

I have a narrow foot and this shoe actually stayed on. It was very stable and although it is a lower heel it is very stylish. Good shoe for the price.

Low heel, pretty comfortable, stays on my feet. I ordered a half-size up for a better fit and kept them. Not as pretty as the Naturalizer I ordered but they fit better.

I don't think they look like grandma shoes, but I also don't think they looked like shoes Princess Kate would wear. The heel needs to be just a tad bit higher to make them worthy of a night out. I think they are totally appropriate for work, though. They are definitely more comfortable than the pumps I have worn before, but they are not OMG shockingly comfortable.

I felt like the regular wide was not wide enough, but the double wide was too wide. Unfortunately, I have to return them. They are cute looking, wish I found a size that fit great.

With its rounded toe, it was the least attractive of the four pairs I ordered. Still, it was by far the most comfortable and with its "snakeskin" surface and decent-sized heel it was the only pair I knew I'd be able (and willing) to wear all day. Thank you, Zappos, for giving me the opportunity to try a few different brands and select the best pair – at home!

I bought these for a wedding and while I couldn't exactly stand in them or dance in them all night they were pretty comfortable and cute. My feet are very wide so I have a hard time finding shoes wide enough, the we in these worked for me. The red was a fun pop with my black dress.

I needed a nude heel for an upcoming wedding I'm in. I rarely wear heels, if ever just wedges, and my feet usually get sore very quickly. I ordered a number of heels, and for this price point, the parigi was the most comfortable. While it's obviously not a sky-high clubby stiletto, it doesn't look like old lady orthotics! Due to the lower heel and rubber sole it is so easy to walk in! It cuts just a little into the joint behind my big toe, but with some stretching should be ok. The most comparably comfortable shoe for me was the Rockport Total Motion, but at twice the price, I'll be sticking with the Lifestride!

I purchased a wide width shoe because I have a bunion on one foot. That shoe pinched a bit but it seems as though it will stretch out and be fine...at least I hope so!

They run SMALL! Style-wise, they are a great basic black heel which is great for work. However, I have 4 other shoes from this same brand and I'm in 8.5 in all of them. So I thought for sure I'd be an 8.5 in this as well - but no, these shoes were really tight and pinched my feet! I needed to go up to a 9 in these.

I decided on this shoe after also trying the Clarks Tempt Appeal and the Rockport 7 to 7 low heel pump. Surprisingly, the last two, which were much more expensive and leather as opposed to vinyl, were very uncomfortable. The soles felt hard and they pinched my feet, even though they were wide widths. The Life Stride 8 W feels a bit narrow, but I tried the 7 1/2 WW and 8 WW and they both just fell off my feet as I walked. I'm hoping these will be all right as I've been trying to find a nude pump for a long time.

After 2 kids - i'm now realizing i'm a 10 wide instead of a 9.5 M. Sigh. I had stopped wearing heels altogether, but keep buying 10's that feel just ok initially and then are agony after 30 minutes and then I never wear them. Lots of expensive mistakes. So I went on a search for a single (at least at first) pair of black pumps that I can wear to work all day and not regret it. I also have sweaty feet, so I can't wear open toed shoes because of slipping around, and sometimes my heels can also be a problem. No, I don't want to wear footies or hose. My initial search is black, under 3 inch heel, and preference on a stacked heel for stability - but i'm trying some low regular heels too. So...the LifeStride Parigi. First, let me say this is an awesome value heel and I really wanted to keep it. The size 10 was a perfect fit with no slippage and the width was one of the best feeling widths of the many others I tried. AND even though this was the least expensive option I tried - it was actually more attractive in outward looks than its $100-$200 range counterparts. However, my complaint is that the heel didn't feel stable to me. It wasn't the height as the problem - these are low - but my foot kept wanting to wobble and roll inward as I walked. Bummer. I'm going to continue to watch this brand and would not hesitate to buy them again with a stacked heel. Others I tried that were not as good as this one: Naturalizer Michelle (slight big and not as nice outward looking as the Parigi). Rockport seven to 7 (also too big and the ugliest although still would have been ok. I MIGHT try this in another size, but overall not quite as comfortable or nice looking as the Parigi. The heel felt stable though.) Stuart Weitzman chicpump and logo (size 10 was a solid hit here, but the wide wasn't quite wide enough). Next i'm ordering Feregamo wides to see if those are wider than the Stuart Weitzmans. I'm hopeful since the Feregamo medium I tried on was almost good enough to convince me.

Shoe is exactly what I wanted except the color - this one is a little too pink so I kept the same shoe in the patent nude color (forgot the name). I shop for all my shoes at Zappos since the prices are right and I can return any that don't fit perfect!

I'm half way between an 8.5 and 9. I got these in 9 pewter and champagne. The pewter ones felt a little big and the champagne ones feel just right. Pewter is going to be a good "grey" shoe. And the champagne ones are a stunning neutral. The toe boxes are shorter on these but and I prefer the oblique of the Lifestride start--I so need grey & brown though, that I think I'm stuck with these. They are crazy comfy though! Where have all the brown shoes gone?
