Customer Reviews LifeStride Giovanna 2

I ordered these in wide and am happy to report that these are truly wide shoes, meaning they are both a bit wider than regulars as well as deeper in the toe box. They look nice on the foot. I ordered two sizes. The smaller was very hard to get on, but once on, fit perfectly. The larger, easy to get on, but too loose throughout. I also have a high instep, so this might be particular to me. I would LOVE a version of this shoe that had adjustable straps instead of the rear zipper. My search continues, but these are still very nice shoes.

I like this shoe but it ended up being a little fancier than I wanted. It was also a bit large as a 9W. The width was perfect but a little bit long, roomy in the heel. Thanks for easy returns Zappos!!

comfortable

I ordered a 6.5 M and 6.5 W and decided to go with the wide. The other reviews I read were very helpful. These are cute shoes and comfortable.

The navy blue is very light, not a dark navy. Did not match my dress well enough so had to return.

Beautiful shoes, just a bit too tight. Have already ordered a larger size.

These shoes were the winner for me but the one thing I disliked is the heel is shiny while the fabric of the shoe is matte. Not a dealbreaker, but just didn't love that. Otherwise, feels comfortable and looks very nice on!

I always wish these types of shoes were more adjustable. They felt remarkably cute and comfortable to walk around in (good cushioned insole). But there were awkward gaps in the structure where it didn’t fit quite right. Also, a weird complaint, but the zipper in the back would make a jingly/clattering noise when I walked, the way you might expect on some zip-up boots.

Very stylish. The zipper in the back is a nice detail. I'm a pretty consistent 7M and this shoe fits me well in 7M. I wore these for 6 hrs driving, standing in church, and grocery shopping afterwards. They felt very supportive the whole time. One complaint: I was happy to take them off after 6 hours of being mostly on my feet because they're kind of tight in the toe box - similar to another pair of LifeStride "soft system" heels that I have. I wouldn't recommend these if you have any kind of toe deformities. The manufacturer should consider widening the toe box a bit to fit, you know, actual human feet. ?

Loved the look of the shoe and heel height was good. A dress shoe that has some style but a comfortable heel. They were narrow for my foot but the length was ok so these went back and I’ve reordered a wide with. Hoping for the best..

I wear a 7W. I ordered a 7W. There is not enough room in the toe box for my liking and comfort needs so I am returning the shoe. Disappointed because it looks really sharp.

Very stylish.

I love the style, they’re cute. They a somewhat hard to get your foot into, being they are high up on the top of the foot. But when I got my foot into the shoe they felt a 1/2 size to big, but if I had ordered 1/2 size smaller it would’ve been harder to get my foot into the shoe. Ever so slightly wider than a wide width.

Loved the style unfortunately doesn’t not work for a slender ankle. Would be great if you could adjust the strap.

These are cute but more of a brown than a red.

Very cute, and a perfect match for a certain retro-style dress. These were ordered in Navy. These were comfortable enough to were right away.

these are sooooo cute, i love them! unfortunately they do not have ANY padding and are slightly narrow in the toe box. I am a 7 1/2 or 8 W in most shoes, i ordered both and the 8 fit well but slightly tight. the problem for me was there NO padding in the footbed and i know they will be painful in no time. too sad because i really loved the style.
