Ok but small
I ordered these in a size up and they are strangling my foot... I am a Birki-girl and am used to sandals and plenty of toe space. These shoes are very uncomfortable for me. My toes went numb in a matter of 5 minutes!!! I bought them because of the good reviews, but they are not for me. I need a comfortable walking shoe, and for almost $90.00 I was expecting something way better. Sorry.

Great, Comfortable Shoe.
I wanted a comfortable walking shoe which was better looking than my tennis shoes and these are it. I bought the black for the winter months around the Seattle area. Never owned Mary Janes before and I am wondering also why these are called sandals. I appreciate the fact that there is no light colored stitching which I don't like on shoes. If I buy black, I want black stitching.
One thing about these shoes is that I believe they run small. I ordered the 38 which is between a size 7 1/2 - 8. I wear a size 8 in most shoes and boots and sometimes a 7 1/2 size. I will have to return these and replace them with an 8 1/2 size which I have never worn in my life. I just hope they don't get any wider by going up a size because I normally wear a narrow and medium (never a wide width shoe). Also, I could not wear 'shape-ups' because they hurt my arch ('tone-ups' were better). I highly recommend these but be very careful of the sizing.

The best walking shoe for work
I'm on my feet all day as a Technology Technician. They are the best in comfort. I orderded true to size and in a wide thay are fabulous. From the first I put them on and went to work I have no regrets. Goine on about two months. I need to get more as soon as I'm able before they take them away. You know how it is, you have a great find go back for more and all gone! Kudos to the person that requested and negotiated to purchase from manufacturer to bring to QVC, GREAT CHOICE!
p.s My mom has crown toes and I inherited on one foot. But with these shoes don't even know the problem is there. They also help you balance yourself. I'm over 50 and my feet take a beating, ladies.

Rock and roll!
For those of you that thought Shape-ups were a little too much, or perhaps made your foot pronate (turn inward) then these are for you. These are a great walking shoe, true to size and really cute, but they are more shoe than sandal. I don't know why they call them a sandal. I live in the desert SW and sandals fill up with debris quickly and I gave up on sandals totally. Very comfortable to wear anywhere, I bought the black so they can be dressed up a bit. I recommend these, going to take another look at what is available in the "rock and roll" line up from Spring Step.
