Gentle Souls

I could not make up my mind on color so I ordered both. The orange shoe has a smoother leather, so I'm keeping. The beige, although great too, has more of a hirachi look to the leather. I wear a 7.5 and they are a tad big, but know that the 7 would be snug. Very cute, comfortable shoe.

I saw this style for quite some time, finally made the purchase, and I love these -- so comfortable ! Wow...plus Zappos customer service is such a pleasure to deal with. They make shopping easy!

Wonderful comfort in excellent quality materials. Ran a full size large for my wide foot, which caused my heel to pull out of the shoe when taking a step. Perhaps a size smaller would remedy this.

Beautiful, well made shoe, lovely on and so comfortable. My orthotics can't hide in this one... runs a bit large all over. Usually wear a 40 but would need a 39 in this maker.

I was a bit hesitant because of the price but went ahead and ordered these in gold. Not one regret and these are incredible! I get a compliment every time I wear them. Seriously, every time! They are out-of-the-box comfortable and did not require any breaking-in time. The first time out I wore them with a dress to a wedding and they looked so cool! They go super well with slacks and jeans too. The footbed is nicely padded and they are easy to fasten with the velco tab. I am not used to wearing platforms and was wondering how stable they would feel but no worries. The sole is rubber that feels very stable on all surfaces. They do feel ever so slightly loose in the heel when I put them on but my foot does not slip around when I am walking so it is not an issue. This is a well-made, lovely, comfortable sandal that will get tons of wear.

I followed the advice in prior reviews for this sandal and ordered 1/2 size smaller than I would normally wear. These were still too wide and slightly too long. I returned that pair for a pair 1 whole size smaller than normal. They fit perfectly. I do have a somewhat narrow foot. These sandals do NOT run true to size.

This is a good looking and very comfortable shoe that would be perfect for a full day walking if only there were a decent arch support. But for a few hours, they are great.

I can never find shoes that fit me.I have long skinny feet with the 2nd toe longer then the rest. I am overweight so all shoe are uncomfortable. But then I found Gentle Souls and I am in love. They are comfortable, soft, nice looking. I can actually wear them all day and my feet don't hurt. I have bought three pair already. They are so expensive for my budget or I would have more in every color. Try them they are great.

Love this shoe. It's very comfortable and I can wear it all day. The toe strap is a bit tight on my left shoe. I have shoe stretchers and that helped some but it is still a bit tight. I think it will loosen up and because it's just one I think just a quality control problem. If not for that they would get a 5 star and hopefully it was just a fluke.

This is the second pair of shoes I'be bought from Gentle Souls and I love both. My first was a pair of boots and they are very comfortable and good looking at the same time. The shoes I recently bought are made of a really soft leather with beautiful details for such a simple design. The leather is so soft that it almost looks like a ballet slipper when it is on your feet. The choice of color makes it a great neutral. I have wide feet and this shoe works very well for me.

At my age, 73, I want comfort with my style. These shoes give me both. Mt third pair of Gentle Souls and I expect to buy more

I love the heel height and they fit my semi-wide foot with a high arch very well. Definitely order at least a 1/2 size down. Even at 1/2 size down they are a smidge long, but it doesn't bother me. I find them very comfortable and the light tan color goes well with so many things. I've had no blisters or discomfort, right out of the box. Gentle Souls shoes are always a winner for me.

These looked good on and were comfortable, but felt the soles were too thin for me - returned.

Really wanted to like these. Super cute and comfortable, but felt the soles were too thin and flat.

I wanted to love these shoes. There are so many things to love about them: the color, shape, foot bed comfort, ankle support. But the back zipper is like a medieval torture device that rubs up against the skin back of the heel. I was in horrible pain after one wearing. Easily fixed with a piece of soft suede that would simply "flap" over the zipper on the inside. Had to send them back.

These shoes are adorable and comfortable! The suede is beautiful, but more of a pinky soft red than a super bright red. Very cute!

Just received this product and unfortunately the 9 is too big. Criss cross detail on black leather upper is very cool. Might try a smaller size!

Expensive, but you get what you pay for: a quality-made shoe, very unique style, and a moderate heel that can be worn all day with jeans or casual dresses. Glad I tried it. I also liked the shape of the toe-box (kind of squared) as opposed to the traditional rounded.

These are gorgeous. They are soft, comfortable, just what you expect from Gentle Souls. However, you need really fat feet or a very high arch to wear them. They have left too much room for the top of the foot. Also, you cannot use the last hole in the strap as it is too wide there. I cannot make up my mind to keep them or not. I love the shoe, but they look too big even if they are not.

I thought these would be like the Bayside shoes. They are not. The Bayside have soft leather around the top of the shoe. These have either hard plastic or hard patent leather around the top of the shoe. If you zoom in on the multiple views you can compare. The Bayside are so soft on the skin. However, I walked across my house in the Bay Crest and that hard material was already rubbing. I usually love Gentle Souls flat, but these are bad. Expensive flats should feel nice. The inside of the shoe is the same incredibly soft leather. It is just that little piece of trim that would probably rub blisters into my heel and instep. They are going back.
