Customer Reviews L'Artiste by Spring Step Spoorti

Loved this shoe! Reordered in one size larger and the fit is now perfect!

I have always avoided this style shoe because I have long toes and a long foot - 10.5/11.0 I once tried Danskos and they killed me. I like Birkenstock sandals and have tried their closed toe shoes and they hurt, too. The material is often too rigid and the toe box rigidity hurt my toes. But I liked the look of these so tried them. I ordered 6 other pairs of clog style shoes from Naot and L'Artiste in this order. These by far are the most comfortable and I am totally shocked! The strap on the top secures them so they don't slop. The material is soft inside but firm and structured outside. The toe box is wide enough and long enough not to crunch the tips of my toes. And they are lightweight. I tried on the Naots and the material was so rigid it was too rough on my skin. I like clogs for their ease. Wearing socks with them makes no sense to me. I am not a pantyhose or stocking-wearing woman, and wouldn't wear them with clogs in any event. So, the softness inside the shoe and the rigidity of the leather makes a big difference. I highly recommend these shoes. Such a pleasant surprise!

These are fantastic, comfortable, and super cute shoes! Getting ready to order in another color now!

High Quality shoe that feels good on my feet and fits great! No need to “break them in”. Super cute. I will be getting another pair for sure!

Sweet

I have several pairs of Spring Steps (like the Orella) in a 39,although my usual size is an 8, but the 38 in these was perfect. Great width and secure with the strap, very comfortable and cute!

Love this pair! Cute and light. But had to return because there is not much arch support. Due to the style, cannot use an insert.

Love the look -- love the feel. Looking forward to wearing these shoes.

the closed toe just seems too CLOSE for summer sandles. loved the color & style.

Nice roomy and wide toe box which is a plus, cushioned insoles, however there is a rigid toe bar molded into the foot bed underneath the insoles, that is very uncomfortable for me. If you are a fan of shoes with toe bars like Birkenstocks, this won't be a big deal. I like that the shoes are non-slip, and have a wide base that you wouldn't turn your ankle easily in these which is more likely with Danskos, which I typically wear. I wish they didn't have a toe bar!

I have slightly wide feet and a high arch. Some shoes work well for me, but these did not. They felt too small, too narrow and the strap was too tight over my arch. They were cute though, and I gave them to a lady that loved the look. Hopefully they fit her well.

Love these shoes, I have them in black and red, but I am returning the "yellow". The yellow is a mustardy green color, not to my taste.

The shoe is narrow, anyone with a wide foot especially thru a persons toes this will be tight. Too bad I really like style, needed a wide.

Just a tad too small, but i like shoes to be a tad too big (bunion). Lovely shoes though!

I just wasn't feeling the comfort and the look was not there.

I like these shoes very much, but unfortunately the right shoe has a strange squeak when I walk. ??? Perhaps a broken last? I’m not sure, but they have to be returned. I’d frankly love a replacement of the same shoe! It is a beautiful summer shoe.

was so hoping these would be THE shoes to bridge the gap between sandals and uggs for walking around city (meaning comfortable for at least several miles of walking). Wow, nope. The leather was nice and the quality seemed fine. Two deal breaking issues: 1. the footbeds were a smooth faux leather material that immediately got sweaty and caused the foot to slip around 2. there is no, and I do mean zero, arch support in these. I have flat feet ... arch support a "must" and these are pancake flat. Other mention is that they run sort of short in length. For comparison: in teh same zappos order, I got a Mephisto size 39 that was good length and a Sorrel size 39 that was a teeny smidge too long. These Spring Step were a half size too short. Otherwise, cute and pretty comfortable out of the box.

Felt small to me and too narrow, not great arch support.
