Very cute and fit well for my wide foot. However the bottom of shoe has a weird shape and seems like a flawed design of the shoe sole. Sole of shoe is not flat. It's as if the toe portion of sole is on a different plain that faces upward. Hard to described but this caused 2 issues. When stepping foot down there seemed to be a louder than normal thud at the ball of shoe followed by a second forward motion thru the toe bed of shoe bc front plain of shoe is pointed slight up. Hard to imagine this was designed, walked in and passed a quality control test or comfort of a normal walking/stepping motion.

Just received my first package with you and these were in the package. The rest were for the family and I can't wait for their feedback on their shoes. I LOVE these! Don't pay attention to the "curve of the bed" comments, they're exactly the same as platform or stiletto heels as far as how the front sole of the base angles up gently. Unless you walk on your toes in high heels, that's not an issue. The red/tan stripe definitely speaks of a day out on the boardwalk. I thought the straps might not be wide enough to corral my pinky toes, but they're comfortably contained! Everything about the shoes are comfortable: the sole, the straps, walking! I ordered the wide width as somehow my feet were mixed up with a duck. I have a couple dresses I'm excited to wear these with, and I'm not a huge fan of dresses. I'd love to update after a full day's worth of walking and wearing. Thanks so much Lifestyle and Zappos!

JUst a very odd shoe bed.. it makes walking in them awkward as they have a curvy base that feels as if it’s curving in the wrong way. They look nice on and I love the bright red but they feel kind of unnatural when walking.

Love these shoes - the stretchy fabric accommodates my bunions and even hides them! They are comfortable and cute!

really cute but you sound like a clumpier in them...very hard bottoms

I got these in Black/Almond, size 6. Perfect fit. My foot stays put - no slipping forward. Great look with a long skirt.

Like the look and comfort for wedges. Style good for everyday or sundress. I usually wear 8m but feet are slightly wide; it was tight around pinky toe so needed to get 8.5m which made a little space in the back but my heel won’t come out so keeping the 8.5. 8 wide would have been perfect. In photo, the 8.5 is on left; 8 is on right

These are a little snug. The footbed is cupped around the edges, which makes them a little uncomfortable because they are a little too small for my wide foot. They are about as supportive as most heels, i.e. there is a bit of curve to the arch but it doesn't feel like intentional support for high-arch feet. The heel strap is just plain elastic, which is very comfortable but I worry that it will start to have runs or buckles within a few wears (perhaps a shoe repair shop will be willing to replace it). Still, they are super cute and there aren't enough super cute shoes in big and wide sizes, so - we make do and try to be happy with our cute but just-a-little-bit-uncomfortable shoes!

Loved the way this felt on my feet. Loved the elastic straps, too. Fast and easy on/off. Unfortunately, the colors were too “ dramatic” for my jeans (blue) and capris, so I have to return them.
