Love this shoe.  I have a lot of problems buying shoes which is evidenced by the number of shoes in my closet that I can not wear.  I was sure I was going to return this shoe as soon as I tried it on.  Only Amazon's generous return policy convinced me to try it.  The shoe has a solid comfortable heel base which takes the weight off the ball of the foot.  There is a generous toe area which allows the toes to move.  I have a lot of problems with my feet, a bunion and neuropathy.  This shoe was so comfortable, I ordered a sandal in the same brand.  I haven't received the sandal yet.
