Great for those who suffer from bunions!
These are probably the most expensive dress shoes I've ever purchased, BUT you get what you pay for. These feel so comfy on the feet! There is just enough cushioning in these so that your feet don't hurt. I included a photo of the inside of the box lid which desribes the layers of cushioning. They have decent traction. But the best part is how cute they are, zero compromise in comfort and no pain for those who suffer from bunions. They cover just enough of the front foot area where the edges do not dig into my bunion. In fact, none of the edges dig into my feet at all which means no irritation on the skin at the end of the day. Pardon my ugly swollen feet, it was at the end of the day when I took these pics but you can see how they cover my bunion properly. The leather lining is these shoes give them an absolutely luxurious feel. If you must go sockless in a shoe, it's always best to have a leather sole as it absorbs moisture and keeps your feet dry.

Perfect fit, style, and comfort
These shoes exceeded my expectations in fit, comfort and style in every way. I have a relatively wide foot at the toes but narrow heel (kind of like duck feet) and these shoes really hide that. I generally wear size 7 M, with only certain shoes fitting given my foot shape, and this 7M fits perfectly. The width is perfect without being tight (the widest point of my foot is just below the leather toe cap). The length fits perfectly and the height is great--slight heel so not totally flat but completely comfortable to walk in. The foot bed is padded and I was able to put them on from day one and walk around all day without any issues. The leather is soft but still gives enough structure to the shoe. I got the camel color and they match everything (color and style-wise). I love them and might get another color...

9 a little too small, 9 1/2 a little too big...but the 9's stretched out with a little help- now they're perfect!
The Gentle Souls Lily Moon Wedge is a gorgeous, retro, comfy shoe- but the fit for me was a little off. A size 9 puts my toes at the front of the toebox, where they are squeezed a bit by the pointed toe (where the "peep" part resides)A size 9 1/2 moves my toes away from that, and is more comfortable, but it is also too big- and my toes don't show up in the "peep" toe at all, and the shoe flops around on me. I think my problem resides in the fact that these are narrow in the toebox, with a strong angle to the point/peep toe, and my toes are not.I am going to keep the nine and hope that I can stretch the very soft leather to accommodate my toes. (and I have boney feet, so it's not like there's a lot of flesh...)Super comfy otherwise, though- with really supple leather. Nicely made. Great with retro skirts/dresses/capris. I'm going to wear them around the house with socks on and hope that will stretch the toe out.*****edited to add: They did stretch out, and now they are among the most comfortable shoes I own. I hope that Gentle Souls keeps making these, especially in lots of colors. I have two, but I fear I need more. Gentle Souls, please make colors in the kid leather also!Every time I wear these someone asks me where I got them.

Cute Shoe, Quite Comfortable
I get a lot of complements on these little shoes. I added small gel arch supports to these so I can work on my feet. With my "problem" feet I can last about 3 hours. They're cute with dresses and they make me feel pretty since I can no longer wear high heals.

Mostly fantastic shoes, but ankle strap a tad too short.
These shoes are adorable, comfortable, well-made, and fit my wide feet really well! I love the vintage look, mini-wedge, and numerous available colors. My only problem is that, as the unfortunate bearer of high arches and insteps, the ankle strap is a bit too short. I had to have an extra hole added and the elastic along the base of the buckle lengthened at my local shoe repair shop in order to get these to fit.

Bring back the closed toed black suede shoes!
Will the company ever bring back the closed-toes black suede shoes like these? Were so comfortable and easy to wear. I certainly hope so as they were the best shoes in my closet!

Beautiful shoes
I love these shoes. They are very well-made and comfortable. However, I find that I don't wear them much.
