Love this style by LifeStride as it is a great alternative to Stuart Weitzman's Corkswain. The lower wedge height and padded insole (even in the foot bed) makes the shoe very comfortable. Unfortunately the 5.5 was still a bit loose for me, so I think the shoe runs slightly large. When walking, my heel would slip out. I think that a rubber insert in the heel would keep it on. I have flat, wide feet but the regular was just fine. The shoe is not heavy.

I decided to return the beige though because it was more of a champagne color than a neutral nude beige. The silky-type material making the top of the shoe was ever-so slightly shimmery and with my skin tone, was not complementary. Still, great espadrille wedge option for spring/summer and quite affordable.
