Customer Reviews LifeStride Parigi

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?

Super comfortable! Not the most slender feminine looking shoes but the patent leather still looks great, the bottoms have tread and they are comfortable to wear all day in a job where you have to be on your feet frequently.

These are the cutest high heels ever. I fell in love with the style and the fact that they are not too tall, so I (who cannot walk in heels) could wear them. But I ended up returning them because they were too uncomfortable with pressure on my heels. So they are super super sleek, but not super comfortable.

I was looking for dress heels that are very comfortable as I will be on my feet for a long period. These seems to be pretty comfortable but I have not tested them for long hours yet.

I bought these in Silver Spots to wear at my son's wedding. I really liked the look of this shoe, and they were very stable due to the lower heel and the rubber sole. Unfortunately, I could not get them to stretch the way I hoped, even using a good stretcher. After a few hours, my toes were very unhappy. I was able to wear them for the wedding and the pictures, but then I had to switch out for the dancing. Happily, I had a floor-length dress, so it wasn't critical.

I felt like these shoes ran large, but they were comfortable. They're plain, but cute enough. I have a slightly narrow foot and they felt like a good width to me.

Bought these for my 16 y/o for homecoming. They looked very elegant, while still being comfortable enough for her to dance. We tried a few other similar pumps w more rounded toes, but found they looked too clunky or matronly.

Lovely shoe, modern comfy. Fit true to size for my WIDE feet! I tried several sizes before settling on the 9ww. I wore to a wedding, so lots of standing, moving around, minimal dancing. Could use more cushioning under ball of foot, I'll add a gel pad next time I wear them. I have high arches, didn't feel,any real support in these but also feet didn't ache either. Glad I bought these!

I bought these shoes for a job interview and was impressed with the comfort, as I can rarely wear heels. They were great! Flashforward after I got the job and I wore them the first day? I got blisters and then some. I don't know what happened, but it was not good. Would I recommend them? Yes, with some hesitation.

I was concerned the shoe would be too tight based on other reviews noting that it felt smaller and more narrow than it was marked. However, I ordered my true size 8 1/2 WW which was way too big. Then I ordered the 8 WW, which is also too big. I don't know whether or not to order a 8 W or 7 1/2 W or give up on this shoe all together. Other than the sizing issues it's a nice shoe, and as comfortable as you would expect a heel to be.

A comfortable and decent pump for the price. Not too high and cushioning on the sole. The toe is rounded and I prefer a pointier toe but that's a matter of personal taste.

I had high hopes for this LifeStride Parigi pump, and I was excited to find the taupe color in a heel that wasn't crazy-high. My feet are big -- size 9.5-10 in most shoes, but medium width, so I went with the 10 in these. And they are too small! I was so surprised that I went and tried on my other shoes to see if my feet had swelled in the heat or something. But no, other shoes fit fine. And no 10.5. I'm so disappointed.

The shoe is very cute but sizing is a bit off - my normal 8.5N was too small and the 9N was too large. Unfortunately they have to go back.

Extremely comfortable, fit as expected. Great size heel for dancing. I wanted off white or bone, but these have a bit of a beige color.

I take a 6-1/2 M in most shoes but these felt at least a half size too big. I tried adding an insert but they were still slipping off. I am now in the process of returning the 6-1/2 and ordering a 6. Otherwise, I really like the style of the shoe and I really like the traction rubber outsole for added confidence when walking. They aren't the most comfortable shoe but they're not horrible especially given the price. The heel height is manageable if you're like me and can't walk in high heels.

This shoes are true to size and to width. It is able to accommodate my flat wide feet and a bunion. It looks elegant and modern on, not like an old lady shoes. The heel is very comfortable. it does not provide much arch support at all and it is vinyl, not leather. So on a warm day my feet started to burn without the nylons on. It is better suited for a cooler weather when you can wear it with nylons.

VERY comfortable and stylish shoe. The only thing that didn't work for me was the color. Very sad about that; they were too light for my skin tone so stood out, instead of blending in so my outfit stands out instead. That's the only reason I sent them back. Otherwise, great shoe.

These are really practical shoes for work with a modest heel, cushioning within the shoe, and rubber soles. With that said, I feel with shoes you have to "give and take." They're not the cutest, most fashionable shoes in my closet but they're incredibly comfortable and I can wear them all day. Overall, I would definitely recommend them.

Comfortable, nice heel, not too high. Wide width was just right. Only negative...heel slips out. I went and bought non-slip heel cushions and they kept my heel from slipping out of the shoe. I also bought from a different website - shoe clips and wore them on the side of the shoe. Perfect for my outfit!

These shoes are very comfortable! I am a nurse practitioner in a busy clinic setting and these get me through the day and look very nice too. I'm usually a size 10 shoe and in these I am a 9.5 - so maybe the sizes are a little larger than marked.

I was so hopeful for the shoe. I ordered the shoe but it felt narrow across the width. I searched online and found it in a wide. The difference was almost imperceptible - and since it's not leather, it won't stretch. I think these would be comfortable if not for that.

Nice shoe. Simple design. I think the heel was a little too high for me. My big toe cramped when wearing them but that may be due to me not wearing heels often.
