Izzy Ankle Straps

Women's

I would have given these 5 stars based on cushioning and style, but I took away a star because the strap across the toe is narrow. In fact, the whole toe box is narrow because of the squared shape and my big toe hangs off. The toe strap actually digs into the sides of my foot. (I’m not sure why they made this strap so narrow since this is usually the widest part of people’s feet.) Otherwise, there is such nice cushioning along the entire sole of the foot and the heel is a reasonable height. I ordered them in black and the upper is real leather, so I was thinking maybe the toe strap will stretch over time but I don’t want to risk it. I’m going to see if the wide works (I’ve never had to order wide before).

The silver is striking in person and the shoe is comfortable. I had to return because it felt almost a 1/2 size small, which I could have dealt with but the strap across the forefoot was very narrow. I appreciated how lightweight the shoe was for being block-heeled and I might try again in a larger size.

Super cute shoe but weirdly narrow footbed - my feet are reasonably narrow and hung over the sides of the shoes in the center section (heel and toe sections were fine). Returned.
