Piper Loafer Mule (Women)

I normally wear a size 8 in a Vionic Sandal or slipper, a 9 in most shoes, and a 9.5 or 10 in a riding boot so I can wear an orthotic. I need arch support and comfortable footbed as I have had 2 corrective surgeries to repair bunions. I have little padding on the ball of my feet now. I love pointy toe shoes for the leg lengthening effect they create and I find them more feminine for me but usually have to size up half a size to a 9.5.. I tried a size 10 on at a Rack and they were too large but very comfortable. I found them on line in a 9.5 and ordered them. They were perfect with a thin sock. I ordered a 9 in the Marlee style in Rose and the suede is even more comfortable. The suede stretches, so right now, out of the box, the 9 is comfortable with or without a sock/liner. They will go great on bare feet with white capris or skinny leg jeans in the spring/summer. If you struggle with bunions but like feminine comfortable shoes, these are a great option. The heel height is just perfect. Love them!

I’ve had these shoes for 6 months and worn them every day at work. I don’t do a lot of walking around or activity at work, yet the inner soles of these shoes have started to peel off. While wearing them, I can feel the lining on the sole coming off. They were expensive, but they were cheap either. They’re not very fit to wear in a business setting anymore, due to how much they’ve deteriorated. I don’t recommend these unless you’re only going to wear these on “special occasions.”
