I do not have any other shoes with flat bottoms like this. I have high arches that ache badly if unsupported. I can’t wear flats at all because of them. I’ve never been able to wear this style of shoe before. I most often fit a size 8 or 7.5 depending on shoe style and manufacturer. After a lot of researching I heard great things about these so I ordered my typical size (8) when they were on sale. The size 8 were surprisingly too loose and too wide. I exchanged them for a half size down.
The 7.5 size fits perfect! At first I wasn’t used to the style and shape of the toe box but it wasn’t uncomfortable or painful – I’m just used to sneakers with larger toe boxes. My toes adjusted pretty quickly after several wears. I love these shoes! The support is better than I could’ve imagined! I work as an elementary educator with concrete/hard tile floors and am on my feet nearly all day long. These shoes give my all the support my arches and back need. Plus they are more professional looking than my nice tennis shoes. I can dress them up or down with ease and this black style looks cute (for me) with low, ankle, or longer socks.
I’ve been looking for shoes like this for years and just figured I’d never be able to find a pair that worked for me. Not the case anymore! I’ve been wearing them almost daily for nearly 4 months now. These have become my daily shoes instead of my nice sneakers. They haven’t torn on the sides or bottom, there’s been no weird stretching out, no scratches on the top or sides (and I’m rough on shoes), no blisters or rubbing at all and the support has stayed! I love the padding on the heel and ankle of this shoe. My feet don’t feel sore after taking these off even after a long day. Even during some 12+ hour days of teaching followed by errands and church in the evenings afterward, the support is there and keeps me on my feet.
So far I’ve been able to wear these all week long teaching and during the weekend without the comfort or support fading. I’m asking for another pair in a different color for Christmas! Hoping a different color/fabric will still feel and hold up the same way.
If you’ve struggled to find this style of shoe due to high arches or other support/comfort problems- these might be worth a try for you. I recommend purchasing when on sale if it’s hard for you to pull the spending trigger on shoes more than $25 or so (like it is for me). For how popular these shoes are, $50.00 seems like a fantastic deal! Here’s to happy, healthy, supported feet 👣.

Exchanged for a half size down – perfect fit after that!

Really good shoes for high arches
These shoes are so great. When I first opened the box I had mixed feelings: do they look like retirement home shoes, or are they cute and modern? I decided to keep them bc the price was so good. A month later, I’ve worn them several times. They are so comfortable (no heel blisters,good for high arch), lots if compliments, and they are actually cute with the right pants.

Love the shoe but fit varies by color
This would be 5 stars if it weren’t for my experience with my 2nd purchase. I originally purchased the gray cloud microfiber version of this shoe and loved them. ImThey are so comfortable, had great arch support, and I wore them everywhere. I was obsessed with the style and comfort. After 2 years I decided to buy a new pair because mine was getting worn out. Purchased the oyster microfiber to switch up the color. This color fit completely different. They were not comfortable, the support wasn’t there, and the size was off (even though I got the same size as my first pair). After wearing them for a few hours I decided a return was in order. It wasn’t what I was expecting and my worn out shoes I’d been wearing for 2 years were 10x more comfortable.Returned the oyster microfiber option and went back to the tried and true – gray cloud microfiber. Happy to report that the gray matched my high expectations. They match the comfort of my original shoe! I have no clue why 2 different colors of what is supposedly the same shoe would feel so different. But I have both colors right now because I haven’t returned the oyster color yet and when I put one shoe on each foot they feel like 2 completely different shoes.A long way of saying “get the gray cloud microfiber and you’ll be super happy!”

Highly recommended!!!
5 stars for the product! This is my second or third pair of this style shoe from this brand. This shoe goes great with just about anything. They always fit perfectly, they’re always durable and comfortable. Never had a problem with blisters or rubbing on the heel because of poor fit. This brand has a stellar reputation in the industry for 100+ years so it’s no surprise that the quality is consistent across all their products!And …. I got them at an unbelievably great price for this particular brand!

Wide is too wide around the ankle so your heel pops out
These slide on shoes are super cute & comfortable & don’t rub the ankle, but unfortunately in my usual size 7 wide, the ankle area is too wide & long so my heel pops out as I walk. These run a little long in length for a size 7 & won’t work for me since I don’t want to wear socks with them, also the heel should be more narrow like the regular version I’ve tried on in store. Unfortunately there are no 6 & half wide available. I will be returning and hope 6 & half wides become available. Dr Scholls, please don’t make the wide fit wide in the ankle! We need the ankle narrow but the toe box wide.
