I am at the point I need comfortable shoes that can live through my travels. I need stylish, comfort and a shoe that can adapt.  I love Dansko and Naot but you can only find so many cute non ortho looking shoes in a brand. I looked everywhere for this Lissandra in Chestnut and found them.  I called Goodman's to confirm the sizing due to the cost I wanted to get it right. He held them until I placed my order (within minutes of hanging up the phone) and I got them earlier than expected. I love the fact they look like they buckle but they have Velcro. I travel to some hot climates, my feet will swell a bit and then I end up with blisters from shoes I can wear comfortably any other time.  I love the foot bed, these are an investment and cost a lot but I have learned buy a few good, comfortable shoes that will hold up over time and give my feet and body the support they need.

As for sizing, I wear a 9.5 and in most Euro sizes I take a 40 (sizing up to an equivalent of a 10) but in Dansko I wear a 41 as well as in Naot. Now that generally translates to a size US 11. In Mephisto a 41 is a size 11 so I was scared to spend almost $300 with tax on the wrong size but I was told if I wear a 41 in the other comparable brands I should order a 41 and I will say it fits my 9.5M US size perfectly with just a little room at the end of the footbed, but in the sense of the proper amount, not too much.  I added they fit as expected based on the guidance I received but not how the size chart translates Euro to US sizing.
