NOT WIDE WIDTH
Bought this in a rush to use as a conformable shoe during the down times at a week long conference, I will be attending (my dog ate my other black flats :-/) Don't have time to return. But buyers beware– it is NOT true wide width because the Toe Box is very narrow. The rest fits fine it is wide enough and long enough. It is cute, seems well made and the cushioning seems comfortable enough. I will have to use it in the next couple of days to break it in and I will make it work like I have done so many times with other non-wide shoes. But I wish these shoes were designed better. Also, fyi, you will need the very extreme version of the no-show socks.

Disappointing fit and quality
I really wanted to love these shoes as they're exactly what I've been looking for, but I just don't. I should have listened to the other reviews about them being a bit snug in the toe box - my pinky toes are so sore after wearing these for a day! The memory foam inserts are super comfy though, so if you have narrow feet you will probably be super happy with these! Also worth noting is they do show "toe cleavage" if that bothers you. Lastly, even though the insterts are super comfortable, they don't seem to be installed very securely and are already somewhat coming apart after a few hours of wear.

Perfect for those with flat feet
I have very particular requirements for dress shoes: I have flat feet and plantar fascitis and I want a small heel, but not one that's too large. I work on a large hilly campus and wanted a pair of dress shoes I could hike across campus in comfortably. I tried several other shoes to no success until I found these. I've had these shoes now for a couple months and, in short, they are wonderful! They're comfortable and the wedge design gives me an arch of sorts that mimics an orthotic. I liked these so much, in fact, that I purchased the same pair in brown. Note: I purchased custom orthotic insoles recently and tore out the memory foam lining in these shoes to insert the orthotics and even though the orthotics are slim, they do not fit. But these shoes are so comfortable that I don't feel I even need to wear orthotics in these shoes.

Love everything about these!
These are sp comfortable, right out of the box! They will be perfect for teaching this fall. I'm an almost-11, and got the 11, and they fit like a glove. I especially like how the rubber goes up on the heel - they won't scuff from driving. I may have to get one in a second color.

Very comfortable walking shoe
I was looking for a good walking shoe...but not a sneaker for a river cruise to Europe this spring with lots of walking tours off ship. I wanted to get them in advance to "break them in"...I saw these at a local store but they didn't have my size in this color. I was able to check the fit in another color...so I knew it was comfortable and stylish. I always check Amazon and was happy to see they had my size in the color I wanted and at a price that was less than the sale price in the store. Shoes are tough to buy online...I did try another pair but didn't like the fit so sent them back. It is helpful to find and try on a shoe...then check Amazon to compare prices...they usually are at a better price and you know the shoe will fit.

An 8 Narrow flat that fits!
This navy blue ballet fits perfectly for an 8 Narrow shoe- so hard to find a good narrow shoe now ! The color is correct- not too bright or dark- just right to go with navy slacks or jeans. This is a very stylish, comfortable shoe with good arch support in the Memory sole. ...You can wear this shoe all day to work or evening and look sharp without hurting your feet.I've purchased 2 pairs of LifeStride shoes because they fit my narrow foot! Thank you so much for still making a Narrow shoe!!

Comfy shoes!
These are probably the only flats I've found that don't rub blisters anywhere on my foot. They are comfortable from day one. I am on my feet most of the day, and have to wear slightly dressy shoes. I normally wear a size 7, normal width, but LifeStride tends to run really narrow. For these I got a size 6.5, wide width. My only complaint is the toe box is slightly cramped (possibly from getting a half size smaller)...not so much from the sides, but from top to bottom. I feel like the top presses down on my big toe nail, and by the end of the day, my big toes feel slightly "bruised". That alone is the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars. HOWEVER, I'll take that over shoes that rub blisters any day!

So comfortable!
So insanely comfortable! I was shocked how comfortable they actually are. Only took about 1 wear to break them in. I can wear them all day (standing and walking a lot) and they are totally comfortable. One time the “not socks” I wear with them got a little twisted and gave me a blister on my pinky toe, but I blame that on the socks not the shoes - I’ve worn the shoes plenty of times now and never had another problem. They are pretty cute. I was worried that they would look like “old lady shoes” (no insult intended) but I think they are actually very cute! They also fit perfectly to size. I am generally a 9 but depending on the brand can go from 8.5 to 9.5 and occasionally need wide in really narrow shoes. I took a guess on a 9 with these and they are perfect! I will be ordering more with this memory foam insole!!

The toe end is too flat in my usual size 10. 😟
Idk what to do.. 😔I love the shoe but, it's too tight in the toe & I ordered my usual size 10 (& occasionally, I can wear a 9.5/9.5W, so i know it's not me).. Alot of reviewers are saying they're narrow, but that's not what I'm finding. For me, the length & width are good (when I press for wear my big toe is), it's that the toe end is too flat & is pressing down on my big toe. Not sure if I should go up 1 size or go to a wide width, bcuz in either direction, that's not what the issue is for me, & normally, doing either of those things will end up too big for me.. maybe in this case it would work but I just don't want to end up having to return another pair of shoes. 😫In either case, I'll hav to return these. 😞I've returned the 10s & tried to go up a size 1st. They just arrived this AM. I wish they had 10.5 as I think they would've been perfect. The toes in the 11 are good, altho the width & heel are a bit big/slack. I absolutely love the shoes, & the insoles are incredibly comfortable. I'm wondering if a heel pad may help secure the 11s a bit better on my feet, but im also wondering if a 10W may be better. I'm growing tired of returns but sometimes needs must. 😞 I'm going to think on it & will update if I try the 10wides instead.Have slept on it & decided to make one last stitch effort & ordered the 10W. Fingers crossed!!! 🤞🤞🤞 will update when they arrive.Rec'd the 10W. They do gape a bit at the sides but the toe feels better. I'm sure 10.5 wouldve done the trick in this shoe. I just love them so much, I'm trying to decide if I should live with the gape, as 10.5 wasnt an option. I've tried them on twice. My other half doesnt think they're too bad but I notice it & I'm a little picky.I will offer this advice; try new shoes on a few times over a wk or 2 (with nylons or socks, for sanitary reasons), then return them to their box as originally pkg'd, bcuz at times your feet may be swollen, &/or, you may not notice something about the fit the 1st time you try them on for 10 or 15 seconds.. & try them both on, as 1 foot is usually slightly larger than the other (mine is the right one), unless my left foot swells a bit (my left hand does that fairly frequently when I wake, so I'm guessing our feet may as well). I do that with my new shoes, unless I kno right away it's a 'nope!'. 🙂

This is a great shoe for me!
I now have three pairs of this shoe in three different colours. The fit is perfect for me and I can wear these shoes for long periods of time with absolutely no discomfort. In the past I have purchased shoes in a wide width; however I bought this shoe in a medium width but a half size larger. I am very satisfied with these shoes!

Fantastic Shoes for Hostessing
Purchased for my Daughter who is a Hostess and on her feet all shift. She's gone through quite a few pairs of shoes and these are by far her favourite. The cushioning is comfortable and supportive, the fit is perfect, and the quality is very nice! We will be back for more!

Total misrepresentation of "wide shoes"
Lifestride is not a good choice for people who need a wide width shoe. I ordered "wide" size 7 and it was narrower than my regular width shoes. There is no depth to the shoe and is therefore only suitable for people that have a narrow foot.

Don’t know if it’s Amazon or the brand
So, my first order of these shoes was the wrong size. My second order, the box said the shoes were the right size, but the shoes inside were a full size smaller than what I ordered. They might actually be decent if I could get the right size and width.
