Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Typically I wear an 8.5 in heels and a size 9 in tennis shoes, and per some of the other reviews, I decided to go with size 9. This was spot on, so when choosing a size, go with what size you would wear for running shoes. With that out of the way, I have to say, I was skeptical about this purchase because of the cost, I never spend more than $40 on shoes so this was a big deal for me. But they have a money back guarantee so I decided to go for it, and I am so glad that I did. Also my feet are fairly average, I have a slight arch and not too wide of a foot, just in case you were wondering. I went to Thailand for two weeks, I wore these shoes every single day of the trip. I did not once experience any blisters, rubbing or discomfort. And this is Thailand, my feet were sweaty the whole time and the shoes were still incredibly comfortable, reliable and didn't falter in any way. I don't think you fully understand this, I was climbing 300+ stairs to the top of temples, walking around crowded outdoor markets, walking across town that took 30-45minutes on foot, walking through rubble of fallen structures, climbing small hills to reach main roadways...the list could go on. Seriously I don't know how else I can say it, these are the best shoes I have ever bought. I got good traction even when walking alongside rivers, my toes were protected so I never stubbed them or hurt them in anyway, and the strap keeps them secured tightly, which is crucial when there was so much moving around, flip flops would have been terrible. They were so easy to put on that even after having to take them off when inside temples, it was super easy to slip them back on, not to mention the color was easy to spot amongst a sea of shoes. So if you are debating about these shoes because of the price or the material or the style or whatever, I say please give it a chance. They are really cute and fashionable, they don't make you stand out like a tourist, they have just enough authenticity about them. I could wear them with skirts, dresses, or even jeans. What a great pair of shoes, I am so happy I chose them, they took me across Thailand single-handedly and never once did I find myself complaining about them. I was not paid to say this, or given any incentive, this is in fact my first amazon review. I felt it important to relay my experience as I know shoes can be a big investment, especially when buying online. So yeah 5 stars it is!
