A good value and a good shoe!
I'm getting ready to embark on a European vacation and so I needed walking shoes; I thought these combined cuteness with comfort giving me an option other than regular tennis shoes. First impression: Oh my gawd, they're so light! Yup, they really are. 2nd impression: If they're so light will they be sturdy enough for all day walking? And yup, they really are that too! I wore them for a couple of hours a for a couple of days when they first arrived to start breaking them in - and honestly, they didn't really need it....they were ready to go. Then this past weekend I decided to give them the real test and I wore them all day as I ran errands.....I left my house at noon and returned at 7:00pm, among my many travels around town I ended up at the local mall and walked the length of it twice! By the time I got home my feet were NOT killing me. They were tired, because I was on them all day, but I had no blisters, and they were not in pain. AND, I wore them as is, no socks, just foot on shoe :-) . Now, my reason for 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because there is a bit of wiggle room in them. I'm a 12M/regular and they fit a little bit big, not lengthwise or width wise, but depthwise if that makes sense. It's not horrible, and I can wear these without socks and have no problem (like I did this last weekend, though my tootsies did get a little sweaty), but I have chosen instead to wear low/no-show socks and also insert a Dr. Scholls comfort insole to take up the extra slack - and this combination, is great! I am happy I got them and touring around Barcelona will be a breeze because I won't have to worry about my feet hurting. As for arch support? It's not superior, it's decent, but I don't think I'm a person who really needs a lot so it's not something I readily noticed.
