I've been wearing 6.5 M in this style for years. I've never before had a problem with fit or comfort. But these shoes? They may look the same but they sure don't fit the same. The toe box is uncomfortable, and the heel is too narrow and feels higher than before, rubbing against my skin painfully. I used to be able to just put my foot in the shoe and it was on and comfortable. But I actually had to use a shoe horn to get them on. What the heck happened to the fit? They used to be the greatest shoe and I relied on them because although they weren't fancy they were cute and felt so good on. I don't imagine trying another pair would be any different. What a disappointment. I guess it's time to move on. SOFTSPOTS I LOVED YOU, BUT NO MORE, NO MORE NO MORE NO MORE.My grandmother has owned a pair for about 10 years and when we found in on here, she legit jumped with joy. Very soft material and these things will last you a long timeBought them for the Grandma. She loves these shoes has a pair in each of the 3 colors. She says they are comfortable to walk in and wear and shes in her mid 90's. Smooth sole so no catching heel on doorsteps or anything-- no risk of falling if they dont lift their feet high enough when walking.Love these shoes! These shoes have been around for years , they are so comfortable that mostly nurses and waitresses wore them. But in today's era, women of any age and occupation can wear them. Would have given them 5 stars but the leather is not as thick as these shoes used to be.The shoes were on the tight side and shouldn't have been. Made me wonder if they were seconds. They also were a little asymmetrical. Maybe I am the only one who notices such things. Still, a better shoe than most.Have to return as the fit was too tight.I bought these shoes for my 94-year old Mom. She loves them, and has them in white and black. Wears them year-round. She says they are very comfortable, and wears a Narrow size.For sure, next time I need to buy shoes even for myself, I'll choose this brand, their product fits the description, they have good quality and like I said in my first comment, I will recommend this brand to my friends, also I know that if Amazon has this name brand listed it means is good, plus the price is excellent.Thanks Amazon for making my shopping so easy.
