I wore this right out of the box and walked over 4 miles in the city the first day - it was super comfortable. Very cushiony, has a bouncy feel due to air, and great arch support - and it's feather weight. This def has a girly design - I got the grayish one, and it has ribbon laces and sparkly finish. I don't mind - i think it's cute and adds character (i am in my 40s). i have already ordered the black pair also - I was looking for comfortable options to walk the dog daily (we walk miles at a time), and this is going to be a great option for that, plus for casual use. I ordered my usual size 9 sneakers, and fits perfectly - surprisingly, it's as comfortable as my far more expensive brand name running sneakers, but a lot cuter and lighter. Hope it is durable as well and holds up for all our daily long walks.

Black slightly sparkling. Pretty & exquisitely comfortable. Could use regular flat laces if you don’t like ribbons. I will buy another color as well.

New to this brand. Haven't worn outside yet, just inside. Think they will be keepers (I got black & pink). I recently had surgery on my big toe and was looking for something for warm weather (I have SAS oxfords but they aren't 'summery' and one pair of their loafers are a bit loose). Anyway...back to Bzees: good arch support, for my size 8W (debated on 8.5 W or 8 WW); I tried on wearing a Fox River walking sock & the shoes fit well but will probably wear with nylons or a thinner cotton or poly sock. In the house - comfortable, not hot (the tag says they are washable!). Like another review - the ribbon ties are "girly" and so is the sparkly fabric, but hey, they are for casual warm weather wear (and I am a Senior lady) so what they hey - live a little! I will most likely be searching for pink shoe laces or sparkly ones because I don't think the ribbon will hold up. They do tie and are removable (not part of the side of the ribbon on the side of the shoe) but the fabric stretches, (not a lot), so you can pull on the shoe or untie/tie up. The ribbon does not stretch, so count on having to retie them. Nice shoe! Oh - and very, very lightweight. )

Best shoes I've ever put on my feet! I found them roomy and comfortable. Great to walk in for a long time. The fabric doesn't breathe, so my feet have gotten hot a couple of times. Also, they are getting looser since they have stretched out from use. Hoping they don't stretch more and become unwearable. I haven't really worn them that much or even for that long most of the time. I still love them and will definitely order Bzees shoes again.

I purchased these for work - looking for something black and a little dressy, but super comfortable. These exceeded my expectations... mostly because of the arch support. I love them!

This is a very “girlie” shoe with ribbons and sparkles. The ribbon laces are really just for show, this shoe needs to be pulled on. It ran small.

These shoes are downright adorable! They are comfort shoes but with such a feminine look. The ribbons are so pretty and the body of the shoe has just enough subtle sparkle. They are really comfortable. I bought three pairs!

O.M.G. Perfection. I got my regular size (8 1/2 W) and amazing. Super cute - I have the grey - astoundingly comfortable. Fit is tts & ttw. Easy on and off, which cannot be said of all these pull on type sneaks. Will be ordering more colors coz all that and the price is so good!

Addendum to my review: I found replacement ribbon laces ( and others) on Zappos’ “sister” site. Yea! Now I can replace those pink ribbon laces when needed!

These are super cute and incredibly comfortable. I wasn’t sure if they would be too blingy for my age but they are really nice. I have a wide foot and high arch and these fit perfectly (got the wide width). I highly recommend them.

these are the prettiest athletic shoes I've seen. I'm not sure the ribbons will look OK after some months of use, but maybe they're replaceable? Or maybe you can just get regular laces, in which case the shoes might not be as pretty, but they would be fine. Not sure if these shoes are washable either - an important characteristic for white shoes. The fit felt fine everywhere.

I ordered this shoe after reading all the rave reveiws and I have to say I am disappointed. Many people with wide feet said they were wonderful and that they felt like they were walking on clouds etc etc. I wear a 9W to 9WW depending on the shoe and mainly because my toes spread and tip up. I ordered these in a 9 W because they don't have a WW. Let me list the good points first. 1. This shoe is great for ease of putting it on-nice and stretching like putting on a secret sock 2. The fabric part of the shoe is very forgiving so it does stretch and give a decent amount for imperfect feet. 3. They do have and arch supportive like pillow sewn in and that does help support the arch if you don't need a stability shoe Thats about where the good ended for me, my list of negatives follow 1. Even though the upper portion of the shoe will stretch to accomodate a wide foot, the footbed does not stretch and my toes felt all the edges. UGH 2. The toe cap is a bright shiny black which I think looks odd (personal opinion) Why not a nice regular black? 3 The ribbon laces also look odd to me and I think they would have done better with a regular lace of some kind 4. I didn't appreciate any great comfort as far as the footbed. They were kind of squishy but squishy in a not supportive way and since the upper fabric stretches it allows you foot to spread and look very lumpy and weird. I guess I am just not a fan and these didn't work for me but I will keep trying and thank God for Zappos because it allows me to keep trying! PS : I need a shoe shaped like a clown shoe and that has a stability last while letting me feel softness in the metatarsal area. HEY, a girl can dream.

Perfect fit. Very well cushioned. Can be worn without the ribbon laces. I wore them to work 2 days in a row the day they were delivered. I walk up and down hard floor ramps that are very long many times a day. Most comfortable shoes I own at the moment.

This shoe is so cute! It felt a little big and my heel kept slipping out when I wore the shoe so I sent it back. But other than that, the shoe was VERY comfortable right out of the box.

These are really, really cute shoes and I was hoping they'd work for me. To help others considering them, here are a few points that made them non-keepers. The heel is low and it feels, just a bit, like an earth-shoe. Anyone remember those? The toes are higher than the heel. After wearing them around the house, I actually started to get some back spasms. The arch support is very good, BUT, it isn't exactly where my arch is. It's a bit, just a bit, off. More towards the middle of the shoe than right under the arch area. They may be great for others, but, as much as I love Bzees and have a bunch of them, this one just didn't work for me. Disappointed as they are really cute shoes.

I bought these shoes last year in blue and I love them! They are very comfortable and look great. I would buy another pair in a heartbeat, but I'm disappointed that the color selection for these is now so limited. Please bring back more colors!

I wear mine to teach and then to work at HEB!!! They are perfect for any occasion/job/event. PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE!!!!!!!!!!! Mine still look brand spanking new

My friend has a pair of these in black & I've always loved how they look on her. Although they're 1/2 size bigger, they fit perfectly! The sparkles aren't overpowering at all, but add a nice 'blingy' touch with jeans. So happy I was finally able to find a pair! Super cute & comfy!

I've seeing Bzees at stores before, mostly sandaks, I always thought they have this kind of bulky looking, so I never even tried them. I got this pair about a week ago, the animal-kind of-print, thinking that If I didn't like them of they were not comfortable I was not wasting so much money, the price with the discount plus free shipping was the main reason I got them. These are very very comfortable shoes for my tired feet!! I usually check out some reviews, look at the materials, etc., before a purchase, there someone mentioned these shoes are the worst and her heals hurt after wearing them, maybe it could be we all have different bodies, different foot structure, that for some reason for someone else these are not going to be comfortable. When I received them I was kind of skeptic about them, they don't have the loose opening that you tight with the laces, I thought it was going to be hard to put them on, I was wrong, I dont have a problem with that. For someone like me, with bunions, with foot surgery, and old tired feet... these pair are super comfortable. I have to add, the shipping is super fast.

I've had my inspires for over a year now and I love them, their quality hasn't decreased in the time that I've owned them. I have the light grey ones and I think they go with so many outfits. My normal tee with jeans looks a lot more put together with these cute shoes. I'm 18 so I dig the sparkle and lace ties. I at first had an issue with the bows slipping because the metal bezel at the end is too heavy but double knotting or tieing the bows hard worked well for me. I've put these shoes through a lot and they still look nice, I got them covered with burs once, I thought the lace ties would be ruined but they weren't... With a wash, all the stains in the fabric came out and the lace was fine. They're super comfy as well, these are my everyday shoes, sometimes I like to wear them around the house.
