Being a larger gal I always struggle with size, fit, and comfort. The lovely pair of flats surprised me straight out of the box. I wear a wide wide (ww) size and I was ready for pinched toes as I slipped them on. The toe box is actually a wide wide. Standing in them they feel the correct length. The heel height is very nice. Just enough lift to give you some arch support and the feel of wearing a low heel. I find flat flat's fatiguing to walk in all-day and this bit of heel makes it ever so much more comfortable. The heel is wide proving sure, steady footing with each step. As for style, better than pictured. I was please to find the top line of toe box has a fashionable rounded shape to it. The toe is a rounded point, rather than just round providing a bit more toe room. I find it to be an attractive flat. On the cons side, the heel pad is plastic, making the shoe noisy for office. Why not a rubber strike pad in a shoe in this price range. It will cost about $14 to change the heel pad.I love these shoes; this is my second pair. They work well with skirts, skinny jeans, leggings, or ankle pants.I took off one star for the way they wear. The leather covered heels scuff easily and the pointed toes shred with wear. I have trimmed the shreds and polished the heels and toes, trying to make them last.Since I wear them so often, I decided to purchase another pair. I was delightfully surprised to find them for a fraction of the price I originally paid. If there had been more than one pair available in my size, I would have purchased two at the current price point.Haven't had a chance to wear them out yet, but walking around home while trying them on they felt fine. I was looking for a shoe that could transition from business to evening wear, depending on what you wear them with, and these fit the bill. Simple, low heel (I have always hated high heels - they hurt my feet too much), and will look classy with anything. The front is just pointed enough to look mature and neat without cramping he toes. They fit as expected, but of course I recommend to anyone to wear band aids on blister-prone areas until they are broken in. These haven't given me blisters yet, but I expect they will, just like any new dress shoe.This is a lovely design and beautiful shoe. I always wear a size 7 1/2 medium, but these were way too tight on me. I am disappointed and decided to return them. The shoe looks more expensive then it cost me which was a big plus. I will try again.I wear orthotics and wanted a low dress pump to accommodate them. This shoe works well and is comfortable. I like the styling, too. I wore them to an evening function at work and noted other ladies had similar flats. That's hard to find, most of the time, in narrow or slim width shoes."Narrow" shoes that are actually narrow and fit my feet! I had a very hard time finding black flats that fit. I wish these had a little more pizzazz, but I'm happy to have found them.Very nice flat. Fits somewhat wide for a M. Purchased mostly for the muted yellow color. Looks very nice with slacks. It is not in my opinion a stylish look with jeans or leggings. Probably a nicer look with skirts or suits and slacks. Overall I a pleased with this purchase.Very comfortable shoe, come up high enough above the toes to be comfortable and wide enough for the wide part of the toes!
