I first purchased the black ones with the blue soles. I normally wear size 7, so that is what I purchased. When they arrived, I was so excited to try them on. Unfortunately, they were extremely short. So short, in fact that they made my toes hurt. So, I sent them back in exchange for a pair 1/2 a size larger. They didn't have the black in this size, so I got the grey and pink ones. No, the color is not red...it is a rather hot pink.

Even these are half a size larger, they are still shorter than I'd expected. My big toes still touch the front of the shoes but not uncomfortable so. I decided to keep them anyway. They are light and easy to slip on, which is what I was looking for. The band holds my feet comfortably in the shoes without being too constricting. I can walk rather long distances in them and not feel discomfort. Soles look like they will last for a while. My husband commented that the soles looked like the tread on snow tires.

On the negative side, the tops are made of material (only part way are they suede) and I am afraid my feet will get wet if I wear them outside in bad weather. They have absolutely no support. Although the inside material is comfortable, my arches were without any support. For an ostensible walking shoe, I thought this was ludicrous. I finally bought a pair of arch support inserts that I keep in the shoes. And, I am glad I didn't pay a lot of money for them. That's the reason I gave them 3 stars.

All in all, they are great shoes for kicking around the house. Once I put in the inserts, I use them as walking shoes because of their lightness and how the strap holds my foot in. Will I buy them again? Maybe....it all depends on how long this pair lasts and the price then.
