I work in retail and spend all day on my feet.  I have planters fasciitis and bunions and find it almost impossible to wear ANY ballet/flat style shoe.

This shoe comes up high enough that it comes just above my bunions and does not cut across and rub on them like almost every  other shoe in this category that I have tried on. I have tried every style of Clarks imaginable, some Sofft, Born, Tsubo, Joseph Siebel, Ecco to name a few and the Naturalizer Creston Flat is  the only shoe I can wear.  I usually wear a size 10 or 11 so I ordered the 11 which gave me ample room to fit in an orthotic.  I have a narrow but chubby foot and the regular width (M) was fine.  The sole is rubbery and has a bit of a heel, which gives some cushion and comfort.  I find alot of other flats are so "flat" and hard on the feet and knees by the end of the day.

I did not have any problems with the heel rubbing or slipping as other reviewers had stated but I did find the top of the shoe that comes across the top of the foot tight as other reviewers had said.  I am hoping that with wear, this will "break-in" and soften.  If it doesn't, it is worth a trip to the cobbler to have them stretched because until now, I have not been able to find a shoe in this style to wear with my feet problems.

Almost perfect, with the exception of the tightness across the top.
