Love the shoes, but runs at least half size small, and fyi the back is rather short on the heel. Exchanging for a larger size; love the look.

Adorable and really comfortable! Good for walking around the city in style. They are extremely low though so they require a very small sock- they show a lot of foot.

The quality and comfort of this shoe was great. There is a reversible comfort insole. One side is a regular insole and the other is a textured memory foam insert. I would have kept this shoe but for the color. The cosmic white is really a light lavender.

Lighter than it looks online and unfortunately, no arch support.

great everyday shoe to walk my dog around the city. The insole is a bit big for the shoe and keeps trying to escape. nevertheless, the dual sided insole is fun and comfy.

gorgeous shoe - color is wonderful. the padding of the insole is so thick that my foot rides too tall in the shoe and it feels like it isnt on all the way.

These are pretty cute casual tennis shoes. However, I felt that they looked a little "puffy" on my feet, and because they don't come up very high around your foot, it felt like they were going to slip off my ankle even though they fit well. Unfortunately had to return.

I really wanted to like this shoe. Only problem was the forefoot creased, which caused a painful rubbing across the top of the foot. Otherwise, the padding, low profile style and color were great. I wouldn't call it white though, it's definitely a light grey. Unfortunately, I have to send them back because of the creasing.

I had to return because it was half-full size too small. I ordered my normal size. Also the dark color had bled onto the white shoe strings.

I ordered this in a wide as well but returned it. These are just fine on my wide feet. At first I questioned how these could be comfy because the footbed isn't as cushy as running shoes. I wore them all day shopping and my feet felt fine. They are stylish, comfy, and inexpensive. Try a pair.

I'm glad I waited to review this item because unfortunately the shoes didn't hold up as well as I hoped. The first pair I had the sole separate from the shoe at the heel. Of course Zappos is AMAZING and sent me a new pair. However the insert in this shoe seems to have deflated, and after using them once a week for 7 months I feel like I'm now walking with very little arch support. I use them as more of a "cross trainer" feel as opposed to my daily walking shoes. Do order up a half size.

Cute shoe! So lightweight and comfy, but I had to return because they were a little too small. I normally wear a 9 1/2, but this 9 1/2 was too small. Wish they had worked!

These are very good looking and trendy shoes. The suede is great for a winter sneaker. However, it does not have much support - not at all like I am used to in a New Balance (the only sneaker I can wear on my SS foot with orthotic). The support us somewhere between moderate and none.

I took everyone's advice and went up half a size from 7.5 to an 8 and they fit perfectly! They are very cute and the look is great. They have no arch support and it kinda feels like walking around in a slipper - but I like that. Also, the insole is not attached to the shoe so it comes out every time I take them off. I don't care about flipping the insole at all. If I wanted to use my own super feet inserts I'd have to have gone up a full size in order to have both the flip duo and super feet inserts. I'm keeping them!

I like the style and the suede fabric. However, the upper part of the shoe fit a little snug.

I bought to wear with jean/sweats this fall and ended up wearing on a 5 day trip to DC. Shoe was light weight, comfortable Memory foam was good - little on the warm side but it was 90+. I ordered 1/2 size up which was fine for no show socks, but heavier sock would require 1 whole size up.

These shoes are adorable, definitely very chic compared to your usual clunky big sneakers. However, I think there are sizing issues. I always wear an 8M. The size 8M of these was too tight even without socks; socks would be impossible. It seemed both short and narrow. The grey suede is beautiful and it has good padding around the heel, but the narrow toe box didn't really have any give. I'd definitely suggest sizing up. I can't really speak to the (very thin) sole since I couldn't actually wear them, but it does have a very nice reversible memory foam/massaging insole.

Overall this is a great, comfortable, stylish shoe. I didn't buy it for the flip-able insert. I just liked the style. Though none of these were deal breakers for me, here's what I didn't expect: they fit a little small, the heel fits low, so it feels like they might slide off, but they don't, and the inserts come out very easily, to the point where you'll need to reinsert them each time you take the shoe off.

I love the way this shoe looks but after wearing it probably a handful of times the stitching around the toe area started to come undone. I’m sure it’s something someone that knows how to sew could fix but I can’t. It’s too bad the quality was lacking in his model or my particular shoe.

Super flexible bendy shoes... almost like house slipper variety of sneakers. Not enough structure or rigidity for what I was looking for.... and too nostalgic of the 80s. Been there once, it's too soon to go back. :)

I loved the look, but the toe box is very shallow. Otherwise they seemed comfortable, but had to return. My toes would have worn right through!

Cute shoes, but felt a full size small and don't have a ton of support.
