"These shoes were such a wonderful find for me. I was having terrible foot pains from years of unsupportive shoe use. I finally went hunting for comfortable, stylish shoes and found these. The soles are cushioned and there is some noticeable arch support (unlike so many women's shoes out there!!). The quality is good. I would say it runs slightly wide, but that works for me since I am wearing them in chilly weather with thicker socks (which adds extra support too)."
