I bought this style after having purchased my first pair of Drew shoes (the Krissy style)a few months ago. This brand is perfect for anyone with problem feet or orthotic inserts. The Tulip shoe seems durable, and fairly attractive, considering it is a shoe for problem feet. It comes with removable inserts, so size and fit can be adjusted a bit. Shoe laces are narrow and bit short. I usually wear a 9.5 in other brands of shoes, and wear a 8.5 in Drew shoes. But after receiving the Tulip shoe in the 8.5, I found it to be about a half size too small. It is a bit shorter and narrower in the toes. My orthotics did not fit in this shoe, so had to return them. Overall, this shoe and other from Drew are an excellent choice for anyone needing support for problem feet.
