Hush Puppies Women's Darlene Flat - Comfortable Casual Slip-On Shoes for Work, Travel & Everyday Wear

These shoes were interesting. I have been looking for a good, solid, comfortable and reliable flat for some time, and was excited to find these with a pointier toe than most flats AND leather. Yay! Unfortunately, I was somewhat disappointed when they all arrived. The sizing is REALLY inconsistent. I ordered a variety of colors and sizes (I am normally an 8-8.5 regular). In some colors I was a size 8, in others I was an 8.5, and in yet another color the 8 was too small and 8.5 too big, so there was no size for me in that color. They were somewhat uncomfortable, rubbing my heel and pinching my toes. However, this could very well have been because they are stiff leather that needed some breaking in. I wasn't willing to do that because I couldn't find a decent size for myself in the colors I really wanted. I was also hoping for more padding in these, but they were pretty hard and had no arch support. Overall would probably be a decent shoe for the price (esp the ones on sale) once broken in but I'm off to continue my search elsewhere for a flat that works well on my feet. Hope others have better luck with these than I did.I put fits as expected because I'm usually a 7 regular but I bought a 7 wide, and they are indeed too wide. I suspect the people who bought wide shoes and found them to narrow actually need extra wide shoes. I bought these shoes mainly for the amazing blue/pink shift in color. They are way more glittery in person than they are in the pictures online. the glitter is not a spray, but actual metallic threads woven into the fabric covering the shoe. Unfortunately, this makes fabric a little bit scratchy at the back of the heel. Otherwise the shoe is pretty great. The insides are soft. I wish there were more arch support but I can put that in myself as shoes rarely have enough arch support for my likingThese flats are very comfortable. The toes aren't so pointy that they look ridiculous and there's no need to size up to accommodate them. I bought these in my normal size. They're not leather, but unless someone gets close enough to examine them, they don't scream synthetic. For the price, you can't beat it. The top of the back portion of the shoe kind of rubs my heel sometimes, but not enough to cause a blister and not enough to keep me from wearing them. I'd recommend buying these. Order your normal size.I am always looking for wide shoes. I have bunions. While a cute shoe, it was not wide enough and hit right across my bunion. What felt comfortable at the beginning of the day was excruciating at the end of the day. Took off the shoes when I got home from work and had a blister on one foot and a 4 inch cut on the other that is still there after three weeks. It's flip flops until this heals.Comfortable shoe, but the material around the edge can start to rub by the end of the day. I'm on my feet for hours at a time, and these were great for my arches and heels.The reviews said that these run small so I ordered 1/2 size larger and the heels are too wide and slip. Didn't want to send them back so purchased so pads to insert in the heels to help with the slipping.These shoes are adorable! They would be comfortable too if they were actually wide. I wear a wide, ordered a wide, and these shoes HURT! I passed them to a friend who actually orders a narrow and she LOVES them. She says they might be the most comfortable flats that she has ever worn. I wish the wide width was wide enough for my foot. Don't bother ordering if you have a wide foot.The shoe is a bit stiff, so it will take a some time to break it into being comfortable for all day wear. However, given the pattern it is great for wearing with most solid slacks and dresses.
