  • STI Fusion™ technology is superior to traditional vulc and cupsole shoes. Here are the reasons why:
    • The STI Fusion process creates an unbreakable bond by fusing the shoe's upper, midsole, and outsole together, making it significantly more durable.
    • By eliminating the rubber lip around the outsole of traditional vulc shoes, these flexible shoes skate quicker out of the box with minimal break-in time.
    • STI Fusion shoes are up to 20% lighter than traditional vulcanized shoes.
    • The production time in the STI Fusion process is reduced by 75%, resulting in less glue and less energy, making tremendous impact towards a cleaner production method.

I have been looking for comfortable and cute flast that can handle walking a couple of miles, so I ordered these in yellow. Once I got them, I was really worried about the comfort of these shoes. From box to foot, these shoes are not comfortable. The sewn detail across the front hits exactly at the joints on both sides of my feet, and I thought I was going to have to return them. After wearing them for a few days around my apartment with socks, the leather has loosened up a bit. Now that they are broken in, they are way more comfortable, and I am definitely glad that I ordered them. Also, the color is a great, sunny yellow. I would definitely recommend them, especially now that they are on sale!

I just got these shoes today in blue. I love them! They fit perfectly as soon as I put my feet in them, which is really amazing! I usually buy 8 1/2 narrow, but took a chance and bought these in medium. I planned to wear them with light socks, and the fit is perfect. I have a low instep and narrow heel, but these fit. I also need room in the toe area for a big toe whose nail sticks up quite a bit, making rounded, flatter toe areas of shoes impossible to wear. Thank you, Fossil -- I will be back for more!

I love this shoe made by Fossil. Nice supple leather and rubber soles with a slight loafer heel...the size runs true and Zappos service was speedy delivery as usual!

I really love these shoes! The back is a slight bit stiff on the ankle at first but it is already softening up and it will be great. These are incredibly comfortable and they breath very well for leather shoes. I tend have warmer than normal feet but these leave my feet feeling cool.

Cute, comfortable, pretty blue color! No break-in needed, they were easy to wear from the very first day.

Cute shoes. They are a little tight at first, had to wear them around to loosen up.

Great shoes though I was startled at their light color. The size was true and the quality good - Fossil always does it right.

These shoes are wonderful. Unfortunately, I did have to make some adjustements. The heels tended to rub, so I added a heel cushion in the back. Also, these shoes have very little cushion in the sole, so I added a gel insole. All in all, though, a comfortable shoe. At first, I did have a lot of rubbing where the seams of the shoe met the bones of my foot, but after a few wearings, the discomfort went away.

Nice, but run small. Also, the front of the shoe doesn't come up on the foot as high as it seems to in the photo. Need to return.

Cute shoe. Kind of looks like a ballet flat made to look like a loafer. Unfortunately it's not comfortable in the side of the toe box area and I experienced some pinching/discomfort in the back as well. It also felt like I was walking with a piece of wood strapped to my foot, if that makes sense. The bottom sole wasn't very flexible.
