Easy Spirit Women's Riptide Fashion Sneaker

These shoes have very wide toebox and fabric that gives. I have had many different foot problems and have been unable to find walking or jogging shoes that did not aggravate either bunions, corns, cyst, Achilles, or plantar, or all of the above. These shoes were really a lifesaver. They do stretch a bit on wearing though - if in between sizes, either size down or maybe try a medium rather than wide.FORM: These are slip-ons, with very little heel - almost a mule. They do not give the support of a running shoe. The insoles are not removable - probably not a good choice if you require orthotics or need a lot of support. But mine stay on just fine, and I can wear these all day with no issues.FIT: I usually have to go with at least a 10W in running shoes to get the width I need, although I measure 9.5 in length.. I purchased 9.5 C/D, and they have been great, although they did stretch out a bit. I don't think they will work as well this summer worn without socks or with very thin sock liners. So I came back to purchase another pair in navy, but this time I will try the 9W,FUNCTION: So far flawless. I have not tried cleaning them, and I've only had them for 2 months, so I can't say too much on durability, but after 2 months of daily use, they look and feel like new. I have had shoes show significant wear in less time than I've had these.APPEARANCE: They were very cute in relation to comfort. The grey is predominant so they are fairly neutral,. and don't show dirt but the pink gives some pop.I definitely recommend!

The size runs a little large. I usually wear a 6 1/5. The size 6 that I bought fits. These shoes are great. They're very comfortable, and the ones that I've had for a long time haven't worn out yet.

I received the Riptide Mules last week and wore them immediately. They are the most comfortable shoes I've worn in, jeez, I don't know how long. The toe box doesn't squeeze my toes when I walk and the heel doesn't rub. There's no rubbing anywhere. I've been looking for shoes I can wear walking around town, traveling or to the mall. The styling is attractive and looks better in person than on-line. But, it's the comfort that sells it for me.I normally wear a size 8 and, in this shoe, it's a roomy size 8. It is slightly large on me and I'll have room for thin cotton socks, too. I don't know if a 7 1/2 would fit since the length seems correct. But, someone with a narrow foot might find the shoe is too wide.I'll have trouble wearing any other shoes for casual wear. Since I think they're wonderful, I'll be ordering another to give this pair a break.Editing:The shoe is undoubtedly comfortable, but I'll have to get a smaller size. The slightly roomy feel has given way to way too loose and recently I've hardly worn them since my toes are trying to hold them on my feet. The lack of support also makes them good for only a few hours. They are no longer my slip them on and run out shoe. They're OK, so if I discover the 7 1/2 fits well, I may change my star rating.

I wear an 3/4 orthotic and have been very happy with my Easy Spirit Traveltime for winter, but I wanted something more "warmer weather" for spring. I thought the blue would look cute with capri jeans, which I wear often in the spring. I like these! I have only been wearing them around the house but so far, they feel great. EVen with my rigid orthotic, they feel very cushy. I have a heel spur and have had history with plantar faciitis. I think I'd be able to wear these w/o my orthotic if I didn't need the extra arch support - they are that cushy on my heel! I wear an 8W and that's the size I bought and they feel fine. The heel is maybe more "slippy" than other shoes like these, but the lip is higher. I read other reviews saying they run large. I do not feel that mine fit me on the larger side. My toes don't slip around at all and they feel secure on my feet. I can tell I will be wearing these all spring. I thought about getting a pair to just wear in the house!

I am walking 8 miles a day on hard wood floors and needed a walking shoe I could slip on and off easily. I have flat, wide feet that hurt if I wear shoes without good arch support and cushioning.The shoe is light weight, very flexible, and comfortable. I purchased the white shoes with gray markings in a wide width. The sole has the amount of cushioning I was looking for, but not enough arch support (hence the 4 star rating). With the addition of an arch support insole, these shoes are now perfect. I tried the arch support insoles from another shoe and my foot barely fit, so if you need them, go for the low heel cup 3/4 arch support type insoles sold at local box stores and pharmacies.Although I don't care about the aesthetics, they look very nice. Good for running errands or a walk around the block. I have big feet for a small gal and they actually make my feet look small, a nice bonus! Thanks Easy Spirit!Update: After a few months, I began to develop a hammer toe due to these shoes. My doctor suggested I quit wearing the shoes and it might go away and sure enough, the hammer toe eventually went away. Too bad, they turned out to be a waste of money.

I love these shoes even more than I expected. I plan to buy more colors. The fit is great. I'm a 9.5W and they fit perfectly, maybe a tiny bit wider than expected, but it's not a bad thing. Makes them super comfy. The lip on the back is high enough that it keeps the shoe on perfectly. The inside is cushy and they're so lightweight. I have tender feet and it's hard for me to find shoes to fit and be comfortable. I also found the arch support to be sufficient for me. I think my arches are pretty normal - not high, not flat. These are awesome. I wish they had this same style in leathers I could wear with business casual.The only thing I don't like about the style is the way the rubber sole comes up in the front, but it seems most athletic shoes do this these days. I just hate the way that looks from the front. At least these are the same color as the grey wrap across the front of the toes, so it's not quite so noticeable. I really wish this style element would go away!
