Chinese Laundry Women's Razor Sandal

I just received my sandals. They are much cuter than I expected them to be. They are almost true to the colors that are shown. Beautiful shoes. I ordered 4 pairs for my daughter and myself. She fell in love with them right away. They are comfortable also. We wore them all day in Jamaica will touring. Highly recommended.

Guess Women's Newbury 2 Mary Jane Pump

Just received the Guess Newbury Heels which I thought would be cute but they turned out to be not so cute after all. First of all- the leather strap is so thin that it was really hard to take out of the buckle much less try to put it back in the actual buckle closure after putting the shoes on. The side view wasn’t that bad but the front view of the shoe made my feet look wide which they aren’t. I then put them in the box so I could return them and tried to close the buckle but again its really hard to buckle the strap in- so I gave up. And, just so you know these fit slightly smaller than the size indicates so go 1/2 size up. I usually wear a 7 1/2 but these were even a bit small for me. : )

Franco Sarto Women's Chili D'orsay Peep Toe Pump

I’d been looking for over a year for a pair of dressy shoes to go with a green and royal blue dress I have. I saw these shoes for $34.90 during a Friday Sale and took a chance on them. I’m glad I did! They are beautiful, well made, and relatively comfortable for high heel shoes (I mainly wear flats). The color is a true royal blue (the color on my screen is a little duller than they really are). These shoes run a little long (just enough for my heels to slip out when I walk), but they should fit perfectly once I put cushioned heel grips in the backs of the shoes.

FitFlop WalkStar Silver Review

FitFlop WalkStar Silver

I can’t say much about the toning aspects of the shoe, but as far as comfort goes they are unbeatable. I can wear them all day long and still be reluctant to take them off in the evening. I recently came back from a trip to Europe where we did extensive walking, and I only brought one other pair of shoes besides my Fitflops. I was a little concerned that they might not be comfortable for that much walking, but they were wonderful. I wish they would come out with a design that was a little more stylish so that I could wear them to work, too.

FitFlop WalkStar Black Review

FitFlop WalkStar Black

I bought these shoes because i read some reviews about them being very comfortable and supportive. I have knee problems and the moment I put them on I knew they were the perfect shoes for me. They are shock absorbent which is perfect for my delicate joints. They do stress your leg and bum muscles a bit more than walking on a regular shoe, but it’s not really a killer workout,it’s just similar to walking on sand. I wear them everyday to walk my son to school, run errands and clean the house. I walk on harwood floors and my knees and ankles feel super since I’m wearing them. They also force me to stand up straight because I have to balance a little bit. It takes a few minutes to find your center of gravity on them, but I never really felt like I was gonna fall down or anything.

As for results, it’s hard to tell, because I walk and workout regularly, but they are much more supportive than sneakers to walk around the block (I don’t think they’re appropiate for jogging or running though)Your muscles will burn a little more but they will also get tired faster. However I can credit them for toning my calves slightly after about 4 weeks of use.

Bottom line: DON’T EXPECT MIRACLES, but wear them frequently and you will be able to walk MORE because you will feel supported and your joints and soles won’t hurt; plus, the extra burn will motivate you. Exercise is what will REALLY help you tone your muscles.

PRO: Supportive and shock absorbent, promote good pusture, boost your workout

CONS: You’ll need more pedicures,because they roughen your soles for some reason. Your legs will tire faster if you walk a lot on them

This shoe was comfortable the minute I put it on. Bought it for a "summer" work shoe. Ladies at work are looking into buying it also.

I had this shoe in a brown color and really like them. I wanted black and ordered these but wasn’t sure what they would look like becuase the pictures vary so much online. They are just what I wanted and look like FL Bealls pics.

Own these in 3 colors. I’m always sad when I have to put another pair on. These shoes go forever…and having a naturally high instep the elastic across the top is the best thing to keep them from pinching, even after walking around the school’s concrete floors all day.

You will not regret this. Buy them. Now. Women’s Skechers Bikers WaterlilySkechers USA Women’s Waterlily Skimmer

I don’t buy black sneakers. But i bought these because i thought they looked cute. Well i got them and they ARE cute.
They are very,very true to size. That is important when it comes to slip on sneakers. My greatest worry/fear was that it would be lose but these fit perfectly.
The black ones are soo much cuter in reality than in that picture. The have those shiny things on the sides so if you don’t like shiny, be warned. They are comfortable if you aren’t wearing them and walking around in them for the whole day.

**addendum: I’ve been wearing these for a while and i’ve realized that while they have good support at the sole of the foot that prevents you from getting calf pain, there isn’t any support at the ball of the foot. So, while you calf doesn’t hurt, the ball of your foot hurts when you were these for sometime.

Somewhat disappointed in this shoe. I chose it because I needed something sturdy but hate to wear closed shoes in the summer. Though they call this a sandal, these babies get HOT!!! Might as well be wearing a regular sneaker. Looks good. Actual color was more brown than I expected. Looked olive on the Web site.
