Love the shoe! But, I have a dark spot on each shoe and have tried Dawn soap and water but dirt doesn’t budge. Any ideas? Carol

like the shoe. liked the color. but with the european sizing my toes were at the very end of the toe box did not to chance rubbing & blisters.

From previous experience I learned how small this particular style can run. I'm a 9-9.5 US size and usually fit into a euro size 40-41. For this shoe, I had to go to a 42, the equivalent of a 11-11.5 US size. The toe is slightly pointed in a way that rubs my right foot large toe. Detail, details. Anyway, when one has to order much larger sizes in shoes, some areas of the shoe won't fit as snug as one's "normal" size shoe. In my case, the shoe opening is a bit too large at the top of my arch, and the longer size makes my feet look longer. However, I do find these shoes very comfortable and very nicely designed. I bought another pair. We all should have such luxury problems.

These shoes are SO COMFY and easy to walk fast in! I’m on the go, in and out of car, park far away in parking lot and walk as extra exercise. My feet are 8 1/2 and more wide than narrow. Initially I got size 8 and they were too small by far—my toes were poking out of the soft upper. Returned and got a 9, they fit with a bit of space in them that made them feel like house slippers, so I got some arch supports from the drugstore and they fit PERFECTLY! It feels like walking on pillows, and the back tab makes them easy to pull on. Love the airy mesh design, circulation of air during hot summer months is a bonus!

The length is perfect. I have a skinny foot - not narrow, but skinny from top to bottom. My foot does not fill out the whole top of many shoes - like mules. While my foot does not fill out the whole top, my foot does not slip. So basically this shoe is like walking barefoot except there is a thick inner sole that supports and provides cushioning. I am pleasantly surprised.

I would have loved to keep these but my toe hit the top of the shioe. I ordered a full size larger . I know they stretch but when the toe is hitting the rubber, that part will not change . I wish they had worked for me !

i love the shoe but I ordered them again because I thought they had sent the wrong size. No, they were too small...felt like a whole size.

The shoe fit fine, however, they were hard to put on with out a shoehorn As the back of the shoe was not solid enough. I loved the style but I need a little more support for my feet. Alas, they have to go back.

The shoes are cute, although a little hard to get on, but I need more arch support than they offer.

It felt short for the size that I normally wear. Also the upper felt flimsy.

I love the look of these shoes and they are incredibly comfy. However, they squeak every step I take. I will be returning sadly.

I have a blue pair from last year. They did stretch, but not too much. Ordered another pair this week in navy, same size as the first pair. Very disappointed. They are a size too small. There is no way they will stretch enough to eventually be comfortable. And some perforations were not completely punched through the material and were jabbing my heel. I pulled them out with some difficulty, but have to return them for the size reason. A larger size will likely be too big. Sad that we can't count on the manufacturer to produce a consistent product.

Too tight for me - ordered the black and the grey (same size in both). Black was comfortable and fit well, but not the grey.

I usually take a size 9, but that was too short. With trepidation, I ordered a size 10 thinking it would be too long, but when that arrived the fit was perfect.

Love this shoe . . . on my friends' feet. My two friends (one of whom has several pairs) did not get theirs from Zappos but rather from specialty stores. They have the same style as I bought from Zappos. The top fabric on mine is thin and flimsy. This makes the shoe way too wide, and I do not have a particularly narrow foot. The tops of their shoes bought from specialty stores have a studier but not uncomfortable fabric. I've worn mine 4 to 5 times. The top stretches, making them even wider. My friends have had no trouble with stretching. Yes, they are comfortable, but even out of the box mine were too wide. My foot slipped out of them when I walked. Plus the left shoe is visibly wider and a bit longer than the right. There is no arch support which I knew when I purchased them so I bought a footbed liner with arch support that sticks onto the interior bottom of these shoes. These liners help keep the shoes on my feet. I do love the color. I'd send them back but I love the look, and we are going on a trip in a couple of days. I was counting on these for travel. Bummed.

They seemed great, except, too short. Will have to get the next size up

The first two months were ok, then they stretched out so much I wore socks with them, then I added an insole and now 6 months later, I can’t even keep them on at all. Very sad. Bad purchase.

Loved the style but they were not comfortable. The foot bed has a hard ridge on the outside edge. So disappointed.

I love the style , but a little short .The leather was very soft and the width was perfect, but I am a narrow. The foot bed was very scratchy on the outside edge so sadly, have to return. Cranky feet.

I normally wear size 9.5-10. I bought these shoes in a sz10 and they were too short, somewhat narrow, and my bunion was visible. My foot has a wide toe box and narrow heel. I sized up to a size 11 and they're almost perfect. Perhaps a tiny bit narrow but they stretch. Extremely comfortable and very stylish. Planning to wear the sz11 shoes on a summer trip to Europe.

Super cute. I wear a solid 10. They say it's a size 40. Way too small, tried 41 still too small. I'm now going to try 42.

Bought for my mom in her usual size, but they were too small for her to get on her feet. Sorry that Zappos only carries up to size 42, so we returned and bought the size 43 from another store.

Love the looks but this shoe runs really small. I bought for traveling in Europe but will leave the shoe behind. I wear a 10 and tried 41. Too short. Bought at 42. Still too short.

I normally wear a size 9.5. Ordered up a half-size, a 10, and my big toe pressed painfully against the front of the shoe. Runs very small! I'm returning this pair.

This is my 4th pair of this style and this pair fits larger
