Cute but not comfy
" Ug, I am on the fence about these! I love a shoe with character. They have a bit more of a cowboy boot vibe in person that I had imagined but that's not a bad thing. They're freaking beautiful and well made. The heel is low and chunky enough to be very stable but I can also tell that the balls of my feet are going to hurt after a night of walking around in these because there's little cushioning. The other issue is that where the leather meets the elastic, there is a spot with major potential to rub on your ankle bone. If you could wear low socks with these, you'd be fine but even my lowest ankle socks peek out of the cutout at the front. I think some Kinesio tape can probably solve that problem though until it's cool enough to wear tights again. Other than that, they don't seem to be a major friction blister risk.

" For me, these weren't comfortable. They might be low-heeled but there is zero cushioning. They felt like I shoe I'd want to wear a sock with but you obviously can't wear socks with these, tights maybe when it's cooler. There's also a weird matte look to the toes like someone got sole glue on the suede. They ended up looking more like a "Beatles boot" than I had imagined so back they go.

Better than expected!
" I almost didn't order these because I was afraid they'd be dowdy but I took a chance because of DSW's easy-peasy return policy. They probably could be depending on how you style them but they don't have to be. The details of the colors and the straps bring some style to what could be just another clunky shoe. I think my quest to find a casual shoe that is comfortable and supportive without being frumpy and still lets my feet breathe is finally over! Because these are made from woven elastic, they will stretch to fit your specific feet. This makes them secure but still allows your feet to move however they need to. The memory foam insole is fantastic and I feel like the rubber sole has just about as much cushiony give as my $150 running shoes.

Can I get a little air?
" I've found that these shorter wedges are my happy place. My feet prefer them to flats and they're so much more stable than heels. I was looking for these to be my go-to casual shoe this summer. They could be if they just breathed a little bit. My feet feel so swampy in these which is a shame because the're cute and go with everything. They are true to size.

Perfect
" I've had these 6-8 months. They've held up really well and are a favorite shoe for the office or nights out. Because of an old ankle injury, I can't wear regular heels or anything too tall without being in pain for days. These have a decent amount of cushioning for a cheap shoe. I can do loads of walking in them without any kind of discomfort. It's really great to find a shoe that accomplishes all of this without looking like it was designed for an 80 year old!

Love this shoe!
" Kelly & Katie have become my favorite dress-shoe brand in recent years. Every pair I've owned has been well-made and comfortable. They actually put some padding in their shoes. I bought my first pair of Dorthas probably 2 years ago. They're still going strong! I find that this style shoe provides about as much stability as a wedge or a chunkier heel with a more delicate aesthetic. I have several pairs of this style now. This is a nice, bright red color.

not comfortable
" I think my actual shoe size is an 8.75 so I generally end up in 9s. The 8.5 in this was pretty perfect though so they must run a little large. I like the look of these ok but they aren't wowing me in the comfort department. I can't get used to the way the slightly taller front of the shaft rubs against the front of my ankle. It hasn't caused a blister or anything, it just feels unpleasant. There's also zero padding for which leaves the balls of my feet unhappy. I'm basically saving these for work or other situations where I don't have to walk around a ton. Final verdict: Ok, not great. Probably won't buy this brand again.

Nothing good
" I ordered two pairs of Fergalicious booties in this round and they were both wickedly uncomfortable. These were the worse of the two. The wedge on these is really narrow compared to the boot itself which I think makes them look weird in person and eliminates the comfort and stability that you usually get with a wedge heel. I wear heels basically every day and walking in these made me feel like a 5 year old playing dress-up in mommy's shoes.

comfortable
" I have really mixed feelings about this shoe. It seems well-made. It's definitely comfortable. The low, chunky heel gives nice stability. The overall look is sort of retro but I also think it has kind of a granny vibe so it can look dowdy depending on what you wear it with. I'm not in love with the velcro closure on the strap. I don't know when I last saw that on a grown-up's shoe. All in all, the price was right so I'm keeping them.

Great neutral shoe
" I love Kelly & Katie! They're my favorite of all the cheap shoe brands. Every pair I've owed has/had a decent (read: not slippery plastic) sole. They're reasonably padded and they seem to hold up well. This is my second pair of Dortha shoes. The other pair I've probably had for two years and they're just now starting to look worn. They are one of my favorite pairs of work shoes so I've often worn them once or twice a week. This pair feels just as good!

" This heel ended up being higher than I was expecting. Unlike most wedges, they weren't comfortable to walk in. The shaft on these was pretty snug too. They looked cheap in person. I really can't say I liked anything about them in person.

cute but not comfortable
" I swear I think my foot is an 8.75. Most 8.5s are too small but often 9 is marginally too big. I ordered these in an 8.5W and they fit pretty well. They have no padding at all and I wouldn't want to walk around in them all day. Just sitting at work, my feet don't love these. They're cute and heel height is right for me though. The cheap material creased where my toes bend pretty quickly but the rouching helps mask that. They're ok if you can get them on sale.

Great
" I bought these in the coral. The only bad thing I can say is that the part of the peep-toe that my toes rest on got dingy quickly but that that's pretty much a given with a fabric shoe like this. These are so comfy! It's so nice shoes with a nice, stable low wedge. There need to be more of these in the world! I found that they ran very true to size. Thus far they have survived having red wine splashed on them as well as being worn a couple of times in the rain with no obvious problems.

Doesn't fit
" I'm usually a 9 but in this shoe, a 9 was big enough that it felt like my foot would slide around causing blisters. I sent it back for an 8.5 - which was, of course, too small. Apparently I'm an 8.75 in these shoes. They're cute, just weird sizing.

" It has probably been 15 years since I owned a pair of Chucks. I'm in PT for an foot/ankle injury and this is a great option for a shoe that's comfortable but still has some style. I dig the combo of pink and black. Just to confirm, the fabric on the top tongue does have a skull design on it. It's not terribly obvious and really isn't even visible when worn with long pants.
I'm a boarder-line 8.5/9. 8.5 is often just a touch too narrow for me. I ordered the 9s and they seemed a bit big at first but are fine with socks.

" I bought they navy and they're super cute. In person, it's kind of a dusty/faded navy - not super dark. These seem very comfy. I'm a boarder-line 8.5/9. 8.5 is often just a touch too narrow for me. I ordered the 9s and they're a tiny bit big but not so much that I can't wear them. The one downside to these shoes is the soles. They aren't plastic but they don't have much traction so I am going to have to buy some non-slip pads. This is the one thing I hate about buying shoes online. I'm super picky about my soles and normally walk away from any pair of shoes that doesn't have a good grip from the get-go. Alas, I like these and I have them so I'll deal.
