Promising review:"I bought these beautiful shoes to wear to my 50th wedding anniversary brunch. They looked really beautiful and elegant. They are really comfortable; I wore them for at least 5–6 hours, and I had no achy feet or tired legs. I'm over 70 years old, and I'm not in 3-inch heels too often. Also, I saw a designer version of this shoe in a department store, and they were over $250." — Beverly Triplett Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 and in seven colors). 2.

I pick these as my daily shoes because of how great they are. I get a ton of compliments on how cute they look, but I wear them because I enjoy putting them on and can tolerate standing in them all day. 110% would buy in any color made." — You want how much?!?!

I bought them for a trip and immediately was walking 20,000 steps a day with no issues. I love that they have a cute chunky sole but are not too heavy-looking since the ankles tie up snugly. Also, even though they're suede-like, they don't scuff easily like most suede. I wore them for 10 days straight, traipsing around the city and on subways, and they still look very clean." — lady_cupcake Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in sizes 5–12 and in six colors). 5.

The fit on these is amazing; they fit like a glove to the bottom of my foot. I am on my feet a lot for my job and also have plantar fasciitis, and these were a perfect fit for me.

I love the comfort these sandals offered the most." — Mandy Get it from Nike for $90 (available in sizes 5–12 and in four colors). 6.

I wore them for an entire wedding, no complaints. Walked two miles in them on vacation, no complaints. I ran through a lightning storm in them. NO COMPLAINTS!! I would run a marathon in these if I needed to. The ankle strap is comfortable and stretches enough to put my foot in, but it fits just right to hold the shoe on comfortably.
