Looks comfortable, but absolutely is NOT - Sara A. Train - LEXINGTON, KY, US
I bought these shoes to wear at work in a professional setting where I am on my feet 8+ hours a day. They look to be comfortable with the arch support and soft leather insoles. Unfortunately, After wearing them for over 2 hours, my toes began to rub against the top of the toe box, creating blisters on almost every toe, even after applying band-aides to allow for wear in time. The insole also comes up where the end of the toe box is, conveniently as I am taking my feet out of the shoes. I'm not sure if it is supposed to do this or if it is a manufacturing flaw. The only thing I found that was good about these shoes was the slingbacks since they tend to be more comfortable to me. I would NOT recommend these shoes if you have to stand on your feet all day, especially for the price, or if you have any kind of foot problems. I feel like if I pay over 0 for a pair of shoes, even if they are high heels, they should feel as comfortable as a pair of slippers (I have others that do qualify for that, just not these).
On another note, I found that the sizes on this particular style ran one size too small. I usually wear a 38 (7-7.5) and wore a 38 in another style of gentle souls, but I had to go up to a 39 (size 8-8.5). The very small toe box and the very tight slingback made it feel way too small. It would have benefited from having a buckle on the slingback, instead of just some stretch.
They would be a really great shoe if you are looking for something cute to going out in for a few hours of dancing or on a date. The wedge heels have been sturdy. I haven't twisted my ankle or anything in them from walking/running, which shows how sturdy the heel is. I have gotten compliments on how they look, but again, if you are going to wear them for an extended period and do care about comfort, I wouldn't buy them or any other shoes from this company.
