These shoes are great, they look awesome and are very comfortable. I was a little nervous when I first tried them on because they seemed like platforms, however I think this was due to the year that I wore running shoes as every day shoes. Those things have no cushioning. These are very supportive and are very appealing to the eye. Get them.

Perfect. I've been using Zappos for the majority of my shoe shopping for a few years now and love giving my support.

Shoe is very nice for the price. All leather and comfortable for walking or just going out. I have a couple pairs of Nike's with this type of style and they go great with anything.

In most categories, I'm really happy with these shoes. I have just one complaint: The area between the midfoot and the toebox - basically the pieces of material on either side of the foot that connect the toe guard to the eyelets and the bottom portion of the eyelet structure itself - is very narrow and hard to break in. I'm not sure how to grade the width on these, because throughout the rest of the shoe the width is in line with any normal-width casual shoe. It's just that this one narrow area is either too thin or takes forever to wear in. I have the white leather model with black trim, which is no longer on Zappos. The black one pictured has suede, which probably breaks in faster than the leather (which is different from the leather on the midfoot and toebox) on mine. It could be that my foot is just odd, but in the Adidas Superstars or Puma California, I have no such problem. I only wear these with my thinnest socks (basically the "no show" style that are less of a sock and more of a foot liner) and still feel a little sore after a day of casual wear. Other than this one issue, they're great.

Can't really rate the shoe the toe box was way to small for me, I wear D width in other Nike shoes. if they had the next size up I would try that to see if it would work. I Like the looks of the but will have to return.

I'm glad I read the reviews because if I had ordered true-to-size (9.5) they definitely would have been too small. However, I wish I had only gone up by 1/2 a size instead of a full size. Overall I really like these, good grip for NE winters an added bonus.

I absolutely love these shoes! I have very wide feet that only got wider after having a baby. I have always wanted ballet flats, but they never fit properly. These were the perfect fit! I wear them everywhere and they look great with jeans, skirts, and dress pants.

I was really disappointed when I got these. I ordered the pink pair and there was blatant discoloration on the toes. The fit was perfect and the only pair of flats I found that fit me after trying on at least a dozen of styles and sizes.

Comfy flat. If you have umm...plump feet, it'll stretch out a bit. Still like the shoe though, perfect fit once you go one size up.

I really like these shoes. Very cute and comfortable. But, is it just me, or do these make a funny sound when walking on tile or floor? Like almost as if they have a glue or tape stuck on the bottom. I really want to like these, but i think i will return them.

I am glad I read other reviews regarding sizing of this shoe. I normally wear a size 7.5 and the pair that I kept were a size 9. These shoes are comfortable and I like the thicker soles. They grip well and don't make you feel like you are walking on pavement. I wear these shoes to work and they look good with jeans & leggings.

These run crazy small. Are they using Pygmy sizing or something? I ordered a half size up because of the reviews, but my toes are still bunched up so I'm going to try a full size up and see if it fits right. I wear an 8 1/2 normally and I've never worn a 9 1/2 in my life, but with these shoe I may have to. Other than that, they are super cute, and comfortable on the bottom.

Adorable shoes and comfortable for the first few hours. I think I should have ordered up 1 entire size instead of 1/2 size. The elastic in the back digs in a bit.

This shoe is adorable, but be warned that it runs a full size too small. Order up one size. I can tell that it is going to be extremely comfortable. Looking forward to getting it in a size that fits.

I ordered these shoes because are really cute. However, I'm glad I ordered a full size larger based on previous reviews. They are way too short. Even with a full size larger, I had to stretch them and they still feel a tad snug. Also, I've only had them a short time and they are already starting to show signs of wear.
