I've bought 2 pair for my wife. The style is great and she got TONS of compliments on her first pair. They aren't great if you're in the service industry or planning on walking all day, but for moderate footwork (she's a doc) they work well and are adorable. She wore them so much they've started to stretch to the point they're no really stable. (Hence the "full size larger") I bought a size down and the new one's fit perfectly.
Here's the downside and the two stars for overall: The color of the new pair is NOT what the picture shows. (take a look at my pictures of them side by side.) The new ones are a maize like yellow with a painted on brown border (and a splotch that spattered on the side that they didn't fix) The first pair was a lovely natural brown that looked great with EVERYTHING.
Here's the other downside: The finish quality. Not sure what sweatshop is churning these out now, but take a look at the seems and glue lines on the back, and the shoddy dye job. It's just NOT the same shoe.
I'm exchanging them for another pair in hopes I just got a lemon. If so, I'll amend this review. Until then, the pictures speak for themselves.

I loved the way these looked online, and thought the colors were fun. I need something comfortable, yet stylish. I stand for hours, and want something that I can walk in, in comfort. With the positive reviews,(including other sites I visited) I got them. However, they feel very stiff and cheap to me. The leather is thin, and they feel like I'm standing in a box. Very disappointed. I don't see how these can be considered comfortable!! The sole is flat as a board, so no arch support either. Back they go.

Love these. These are the only shoes people have stopped me to ask what brand. At a parking meter last week, at Loft outlet this weekend. They are cute and light in look, but not in construction or feel. I walk all over town and most shoes give me blisters or make my back hurt - but not these! They are a great height, look cute and feminine, but feel great and last a long time.

I have worn out my black ones...these shoes are cute And comfortable on solid floors. The sole is thin therefore I don’t think I want to walk on rock surface/street. I wear my open toe sandals to work and then change into these more than any shoes. The 1 3/4heel with a 1/2 platform is perfect for a woman in her 60’s like myself. We still want to look stylish but high heels without platforms are not for us. Please make more I wanted to order another pair of black in a 40 but out of stock...please bring these back or some similar for us older ladies. I like your brand...I have several styles! Thank you...

Cute shoes! The plum is lovely but also neutral. They run large. I normally wear 7 (or 38) and 37 fits in these -- with room to spare in places. The toes are roomy, the heel is rather wide, but the part that wraps over the instep is tight at the edge. It's beginning to stretch, but at first it really pressed on the outer edge of my foot, and still rubs uncomfortably. To break them in I'm wearing them with tights and that's working out. The insole is fairly well padded, but after walking and standing for a few hours I'm ready to take them off. So, not quite as comfortable as they look -- but not bad!

Don't like the way this looks on my size 11 foot and not enough arch support. I have a pair of L'Artiste by Spring Step clogs and love them - these just don't compare.

These are one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever tried on. They feel super soft (like butta!) on my feet. The color is a disappointment, however, being more of a yellowish tone rather than saddle. In fact it is a different color under the stitches, the color the rest of the leather should be. I compared mine to the photo online, and the color is definitely off on my pair, looks faded and two-toned. I’m sooo sad!! I will be returning them for that reason alone, or exchange for another color.

I was hoping these shoes would be more comfortable. They unfortunately do not have any arch support at all, and the heel bed is kind of hard.

LOVE this shoe! Usually a 38 in Dansko closed back clogs, 8 for sneakers and sometimes a 7 1/2 for sandals [narrow heel, high arch].
Anyway, these seemed a little short in length so exchanging for 39's - fingers crossed.

Honestly, it was the first time in a while where I was 100% wowed by a pair of shoes that were not Birks! I have big feet (size 11), so it’s really tricky to find pretty AND comfy shoes in one pair- but these are unique, artsy, and super comfortable!!! Score ??.

I love these shoes!!! They feel like a cross between a clog and a birkenstock, but look cooler than either. They are very light and airy. Plenty of width and "headroom" for my flintstone feet. I measure 7.5C but usually order 8. I got the 39 and it's roomy, but not too big. Other reviewers mentioned the strap being loose in the heel. That's true (I have a narrow heel). They also don't feel "expensive"- the footbed is a manmade material which I don't love, but I'm going to keep them anyway. Perfect intersection of comfort and style!

I’m a guy and always wear a women’s 10M or 41 Euro and these fit perfectly! Now I want other colors, like the aqua (they call it navy) and maybe black. (Why on earth would they not have white!?) I love the clog like look and feel and they are quiet when you walk.

I love these shoes! A great color. Sort of a deep berry red. The little holes remind me of strawberry seeds. They will take some breaking in...but I'm sure the trouble will be worth it. Do know that they feel/wear like a clog.

These clog sandals are irresistible. They combine super comfort with a retro-Euro style. I have the red ones and get compliments on them every time I wear them. Several friends have bought them too. I will probably wear them with socks when the weather cools, because I can't bear to put them in the closet for the winter. If I had more money, I'd order other colors! I wear a 39, but a 38 fit best - I always order a size down in sandals. You will love these shoes!!! I hope they bring them back next year.

Beautifully crafted shoe, light, and very comfortable soles. However, they feel 1/2 size smaller and the leather around the toe box is very stiff. Had to return.

I want to love, love these shoes. However, the front is fairly narrow and I fear it would cut in. I love the style. I ordered these in navy, the actual color is not quite navy, more of a tealish dark blue. I plan to return these for poor fit in my size. I would order these one size up in the red if they were available.

Love this style of shoe. Can wear with tights when it's cool/cold or barefoot in warmer weather. Super cute. That said, I own this style in an older Dansko version that is super comfortable. Unfortunately, they changed their style slightly and I don't like them or think they are as comfortable and don't come in as many colors. This Spring Step shoe is cute but the footbed is kind of hard/stiff. I sit at work so not as much of a problem for me. If Spring Step made this style of shoe with a nice cushy footbed I would buy every color made.

The width of my feet is medium. The insole needs to be wider so it cradles or holds the toes. My toes go over the insole of this brand.

The Navy is really more of a teal or Peacock color. It's pretty but not what I was looking for so I didn't try them on.

I'm always on the hunt for comfortable but (relatively) stylish shoes for warmer weather. I love this retro look, so I was excited to try them, even though I felt a little iffy when I read a couple reviews that said they have no arch support. I like how they look on my feet. However, the leather is very stiff. I wore them for only a few minutes but could tell that the hard leather edge of the shoe would rub uncomfortably on the top of my foot. The soles were also stiff, so they didn't move with my foot at all. And, as others have said, there is zero arch support. I'm sending them back and getting a new pair of Birkenstocks instead--they are the same price and much more comfortable.
