"I have been searching for a pretty shoe that will not make the bunion on my right foot howl in pain. Success! After trying several recommended brands (and returning them all) I found this shoe. The straps don't rub and the small platform also helps take the pressure off my big toe. I still wouldn't run a marathon in them but I'm confident I can wear them for a night and not want to cry. The beige color is the perfect neutral. I'll be getting myself a black pair too!"
