Super stylish and comfy
Edit: I still love these shoes and I get compliments on them all the time. However, they do slip on the heel, but I just bought heel slip guards and that seems to be working fine.I wore these to work for the first time yesterday and I LOVED them. They were very comfortable and they didn’t slip on my heel, which I was a little worried about after reading some of the reviews. Not sure if I’ll eventually lose the decorative ornaments in the shoes…maybe never, but I could see it possibly coming off one day. But I don’t care. They’re reasonably priced and if I get one year out of them I’ll consider it a win because they’re comfy and super stylish.Update: after wearing these shoes a second/third time, they did start to slip. The company had sent some slip guards with the shoes, so I put those in and they haven’t slipped anymore. My recommendation is to go ahead and put them in so you find yourself half way through your day when they begin slipping.

So comfortable
Good for extended periods of standing. Get your actual shoe size, you know how some shoes hurt around the toe area or are tight around the toe area these shoes are like a comfortable pair or sneakers. Foot does not slide to the front of the shoe, nor does the heel of the shoe come off as you walk. The shoe actually holds your foot. Secure fit.

Classy! I'd love to wear them but they just don't fit.
Ohhhhh, I wanted to love these because they are SO classy! I ordered the 7 1/2, which is my usual size, but they were just too big. I tried putting an insert in, but that didn't do the job. I might try to order the size 7, but here's the thing: They come in only one width. (Presumably, a medium.) So no, I was "walking out of them" before I could get to the other side of the room. I'm sending them back.BTW: Packaging for these shoes was the standard of what GOOD shoe makers routinely provided in the good ol' days. That's pretty unusual these days, so i have high respect for the Benassal brand.

Perfect, Classy and for Bunions!
This shoe is PERFECT! I contemplated getting it, but am SO glad I purchased it.It is professional.It is classy- won’t go out of style.Has stable heel for all day wear and work.Has just the right coverage of the top part of foot, not exposing the bunion like most cuts of shoes do- too low a cut.Has padding on the inside bottom of shoe and sides of shoes.Extremely comfortable, stable and just down right more than I expected.I like everything about this shoe.Most importantly my bunions which are severe keep me from wearing most shoes as my bunion or a portion of my bunions are seen. Women shoe makers are not making shoes that are cut for our feet and cover the right part of foot. We know exactly the kind of shoe- it’s not hard, yet almost impossible to find. So thankful for this shoe!

Not shoe for someone with bunions!
Great shoe if you are looking for just a comfortable pair of dress shoes that look pretty, BUT... if you have bunions, the seam around the top part of the shoe hits perfectly on the bunion area making them impossible to wear! so I do not recommend these for someone with bunions. if the vamp where higher up and the inside toe area near where most common bunions occur had a stretch material on that area it might be a future consideration.

Beautiful but painful.
I get lots of complaints when I wear them and the sides do strerch as advertised, but there's no insole padding so they rub my skin off when I wear them. I do like them and wanted them in brown too but if adding padding doesn't help then this will be my only pair from this brand.

Comfortable and classy looking
I was pleasantly surpised at how comfortable these shoes are. The are not expensive leather shoes, but the fabric sides make all the difference. I like a 3" heel. If you are not used to heels, they are still 3" heels. I found them comfortable for both standing and walking right out of the box. They will look equally well with a dressy outfit as with casual attire.They look far more expensive. I did purchase 1/2 size down as recommended by other reviewers.
