Customer Reviews Gentle Souls by Kenneth Cole Chantel-LA 2

These are the most ADORABLE shoes. Sadly, the 5.5 is quite large. I am often a 5.5 and sometimes a 5. These were not only a bit long, but VERY wide across the top. The entire shoe was broad. Sad because they truly are to be had. And they are not made in a size 5.

Stylish and comfortable little slide, perfect for capris, dresses. Love the little pearl on flower detail! The padding in soul is very comfortable. I wear a 7-1/2 or 8 depending on the style because I need the width. Thankfully the reviews indicated they run wide and to buy a half size down. I have a high instep and need a wider shoe. The 7-1/2 fits perfectly and even feels wide. I love! They will pair perfectly with my designer handbag that is black quilted designs and uses pearls.

I ordered 1/2 size smaller than usual based on other reviews and the fit was perfect. The sandal does feel a bit wide, but for me that is good. It's very comfortable and stable with the block heel. I'll be wearing these for a reception dinner on a lawn so I won't be sinking into the turf! Highly recommended for comfort and style.

I bought these based on the one other review someone wrote that these shoes were "had to have" and she was right. They do run large and even a bit wide, so I'm going down one size (if I can find them, they must be flying off the shelves everywhere because Zappos does have my size.
