They came kind of big and floppy. I had to get a toe insert. The insole is okay the arch support could be better.Walked 12 blocks in NYC at the end of a long day in these and my feet felt amazing. Will buy them in every color they carry in my size!!!Perfect fit and comfortStylishI already have these in gray, wanted another color to change up with.Fits big and will eventually stretch and be bigger I’m sure. The leather is very soft and it’s otherwise comfortable to wear with an extra sole insideThese are the most comfortable ballet flat I own. I have two issues with my feet--wide and have plantar fasciitis. These shoes also come in a wide width so I had to buy. One of the shoes was. a little tight so I used a shoe stretcher for about 10 mins and it helped. The interior is comfy and come with a slight arch support. Being I have plantar fasciitis that helps a lot. These shoes stretched a little bit as most shoes do and they are rubber soled so they are not as light as let's say a leather soled ballet flat--they slip on my feet as I walk up stairs. I will have to add some of the non slip pieces to add to the ankle area. The toe bed is rounded and not pointy so that helps with comfort. I think they are cute. I wear birkenstock's in the summer so you can see my tan lines in my photo. :)They seem to be comfy from the moment I put them on my feet. I am not on my feet all day so I cannot speak for length of wearing. The website says "For the greatest comfort, we recommend wearing your new Vionic footwear for just a few hours for the first few days to allow your feet to adjust to the new level of orthotic comfort and support.Within one to two weeks you should find the product completely comfortable and supportive." They are cute and a nice shoe--they don't look cheap. Cute enough to wear when you meet a friend for coffee and sophisticated enough to wear to an office environment with slacks. I recommend. I might buy a couple more pair in different colors.These Vionics look great and fancy enough for me since I can't wear heels or regular flats!!!! I forgot to say I am a true size 9, but had to take a 8.5 M in these and PERFECT. Therefore, they run 1/2 size bigger than I expected. My boss has major feet issues and wears 1 pair of Keen black flat shoes. She wears a 9 mainly and some 8.5. The 8.5 was a lil big in the heel for her. She was totally impressed with VIONICS and became a believer based on me.If these are the 8.5 W they are way too big for me so I have to send them back today.I already had black that I wore to an event and looked great with my knee length sequence dress. I was happy to catch a bunch especially fancy styles and slippers on sale finally because this brands isn't cheap, but this is my life now with chronic Plantar Fasciitis for over 20 years. I'm switching out all of my shoes. All heels are gone except 2 pair (kitten heel by Naturalizer in Dk Red which I rarely can use and a thicker nice heel on my Neutral Via Spiga's; I can't even wear my flat Naturalizers with support anymore because it isn't enough. My custom Orthodics don't fit in any of my shoes; only sneakers which I wore to work daily and most places and flat boots. #VIONICS are the BEST shoe ever, but a little too pricey, but I'll always have to buy them. I wish I could take stock in them. I have at least 8 pair of sandals and only 1 pair hurt in the thong area. I got these uncomfy pr from an end of the year sale at a local specialty footwear store and couldn't return because all sales final. Luckily they are green and I didn't need them often. I bought a fancy black pair but the straps are too thin to dance in well. I will still wear them to fancy/nice events in the summer with nicer clothes. I bought a 2nd pair of regular black shoes for work since on sale in the $80's vs $110. I'm noticing the pair I wore and not daily are starting to loose it's black leather color and smoothness right in the back over the heel....hhmm that's not good to see.I can only wear Vionics or Spenco's which the owner of that shop told me to buy and he was RIGHT at the pool/lake/beach because if not, I feel crippled and struggle to walk. I'm in my 40's so I'm glad they are more stylish now vs years ago. Older people aren't the only ones with major joint/feet/health issues. I wanted to try to create shoes years ago and had no idea where to start because my issues were so bad. I love dancing and being physical but those days are almost completely over which is very sad and disheartening to me. It's called LIFE though, lol! Done with my rant...SORRY!Way to stiff and very narrow, love their flip-flops and trainers , shoes not so much?Very comfortable, need a little time to break in but feels very good on the feetWife found them very comfortableNice comfortable shoes as describedGreat shoes very comfortable very pleased with them
