L'Artiste by Spring Step

Danli-Bloom

Women's

I love everything about this shoe -- except, sadly, the fit. My foot is narrow, but I need a deep toe box because my big toes stick up slightly. These shoes were strangely wide and straight, but the toe box was too shallow. I could have lived with the shape and adjusted the laces, but my toe was pressed against the top of the shoe and felt uncomfortable. I am so sad to have to return them because I love the color and the subtle design. I wear a size 42 or 43, so any shoe that is not basic is hard to find. I am grateful to Zappo's for its return policy because I am so hard to fit.

These would be good sneakers, if they were not so stiff. While leather is playable, zipper is very rigid and thick and takes space inside. When walking, zipper cuts into feet, which feels very strange as the toe box is very wide. With round and wide toe box they look like a fine retirement footwear.

First of all, I love these shoes. BUT, I usually wear a size 40 and even the 41s were too short for me.

I wear size 9.5M or 10M depending upon the style. These shoes fit perfectly!! The quality of the leather, the design and style are perfect and shows my creative sense of fashion. I put them on as soon as they were delivered, and I can tell no 'break-in' time will be necessary. I absolutely LOVE these shoes! The color (Olive) is exactly as described online and will go very well with my Fall and Winter corduroy pants and my 'fun' dresses that I wear with tights.

As expected! L'Artiste shoes are great. Size is always the same, style superb, quality outstanding.
