LifeStrideWomens Parigi

I initially bought these to wear at a conference for work. I’m usually a size 6 1/2, but go up to a 7 in heels so there’s some wiggle room for when I’m on my feet all day.I was so sad when I couldn’t remotely squeeze my feet into them, because they seemed like the perfect shoe for this event, so I returned them.When it came time for the next conference, I thought I’d give them another try. I got a 7WW (I’m assuming this stands for extra wide) and they were as perfect as I hoped they’d be!The tread on the sole keeps you solid, so you don’t have to worry about slipping on a smooth floor and they are ridiculously comfortable, even after being on my feet for hours.

Beautiful shoes but hurt my feet I’m not used to wearing heals anymore .. I have a bunion and hammer toe on one of my feet so I would have had to have gotten 2 prs to be able to fit my one foot so it has more room ..but still the bottom of my foot hurt because of that bunion .. but for anyone else’s I highly recommend these shoes they are beautiful .. I wish they would have worked out for me..

I think many brides-to-be are always concerned that they are forcing their girls to buy dresses and shoes that they will never wear again. Well, she need not worry for these puppies!I was lucky to have been with my friend when she saw this shoe in a store. The MOH and I both tried it on and agreed that the color was a lovely neutral (the color I remember was a slightly pinker than the picture shown here; just a hint of blush), the heel perfectly conservative, and the padding -- ohhh, the padding! Let's just say it was a real pleasure to slide these on, and I was very reluctant to take them off and return them to the display.Having just tried the shoe on and not being able to wear it until the Big Day (at least, not without promise of pain and death!), perhaps my 5-star review is a bit premature. I do wear my fair share of heels, though, and I know what to look for when shoe shopping. Here's a run-down on what I encountered with this heel:Sizing: I wear exactly a 6.5, though due to size discrepancies amongst brands, this range encompasses sizes 6-7. Width-wise, I have slightly wide feet - not enough to necessitate purchasing shoes in Wide, but sometimes I will do so if I found the shoe runs small. The size I tried on was 6.5M (normal width) and it fit a smidge on the tighter side with regards to length and width. Most notable was a slight pinching in the toes. Since Wides only solve the width issue but not the length issue, I moved up half a size to a 7M. This got rid of the crowded toes, though now the length was a hair too large. As this is easily solved by padding with heel grips, I am OK with it.Color: The picture shown is very close to the actual color, though the color-savvy may notice that the picture is actually showing more of a cool nude rather than the "taupe glory" promised in the description. Be advised that the description is more accurate - this shoe is most definitely a taupe, with just a hint of more pinkish/purple in real life than shown in the photo (and when I say "a hint," I am talking about a drop of water in a bathtub). As I said: the stock photo is close enough.Comfort: I'll start by saying that I do not think any bandaids will be necessary for these! The back of your heel is safe; I did not notice any rubbing in that area as I walked around. Any blisters that may form would probably be on the ball of your foot, as is wont when wearing basically any shoe without socks on. As a disclaimer, I would like to point out that as comfortable as this pump is built to be, it is, in the end, a heel. Your feet will probably still be sore if you strut around in these for hours. It's inevitable. Having said that, there is a good amount of cushioning, and the heel is low to the ground, which will help reduce the discomfort of wearing pumps. Let's just say that I was originally going to bring some flats for the reception, but after these shoes were picked, I fully intend to keep them on all day.Durability: They feel like a sturdy shoe; very solidly built, yet also VERY light. I am a huge fan of light shoes. They make me feel nimble and graceful. These pumps are well constructed and will probably last miles and miles. The heel itself is low to the ground and a decent thickness. More importantly, the heel does not feel like it will snap off (I have had this happen to me and it is a terrible experience). The shoes do feel like they will be easily scuffed, due to both the light color and the nature of the material. Proper care and treatment will keep them looking new; just make sure to address any scuffs sooner when they are easier to remove.All in all, this pump is a good shoe to add to your arsenal. They are a steal at $30 - I have paid more for shoes that have only been worn once. I would, without hesitation, recommend this to friends who are looking for a decently priced heel for work, formal occasions, or even adding a little sophistication to day-to-day wear. They are a great, all-encompassing shoe. Just be sure to go up half a size.--update Dec 12, 2014--My friend's wedding has come and gone, and I wore these shoes from start to finish. I think it was around hours 5-8 where I noticed that the balls of my feet were beginning to hurt. It never got to the point where I wanted to kick them off. In fact, these were on my feet from 11a til sometime after midnight--a full 13 hours! All of the bridesmaids sans one kept these on until they left, actually. The one who removed hers was 16 years old and had revealed this was the first time in her life she'd ever worn heels; she swapped hers out for flipflops when the dancing started (around hour 8).The aftermath, you ask? Happy to report that no blisters were formed while wearing these heels. The balls of my feet felt a little sore at the end of the night, as is wont when wearing heels for a prolonged period of time.

I got a 6 wide, which would typically fit. These shoes are tight in the toe box. The right shoe feels especially tight while the left shoe slips off the back of my heel. I guess I can stand them for a Sunday morning, but they'll be shoes I can't wait to kick off.On the other hand, the pink is lovely.

When I received this shoes I fell in love with them. The color and comfort are amazing. I usually have multiple problems with my feet hurting but not with this heels. I finally found the right brand and heels that made my feet happy.

Nice dressy shoe and comfortable. I needed WW (extra wide). The width was wide enough but was just a little longer-my foot slipped out a bit. I love the shoe so I will put a spacer behind the heal.

I like the brand and have another pair in black. I have one foot that is slightly deformed, and 99% of the time I’m in gym shoes or flats, but this brand and design of this shoe allows me to wear heels when I dress up. The bottom is slip resistant, I wear a size 7 and these fit me perfectly, I find them very comfortable. Would definitely buy another pair when needed. And, would buy from Amazon (better price!).

Ran too narrow for me and should have more paddingg in dole .. at least for me.. otherwise they are cute shoes .. they might work perfect got some else .. I gad to return but I do recommend these

My first purchase of the brand Lifestride !At first I was really skeptical to buy them because I always buy other popular brands but when I tried them on “ Ahh, they feel so good on my feet”! and also the style is simple but elegant with the right heel neither high nor low!My only negative comment was that I just don’t understand when I already bought them, the price was reduced with the same style! I want to return / exchange them to a much lower price instead but just did not bother anyway. the price difference is $30.

I am very happy with the look, fit and comfort of these shoes.

They are nice looking comfortable shoes.

Best high heel ever! Comfortable for and great style from day 1!

Love this brand as I know they will always fit.
