These are very nice looking shoes. The pictures don't do them justice.
However, I can't seem to break them in for the life of me! I have another pair of LifeStride shoes and I didn't have the problems with them that I do with these. These have given me blisters on the back of my heel - ouchie!
I think that it is because there's a slight heel to it, and a stiffer sole than on the other shoes I have from LIfeStride.
I bought an 8W/ 8C
They seem to run fairly true to size, as did the other LifeStrides I have.
