Notice Sneaker (Women)

I bought these shoes on the way to the airport for a 12 day trip to Italy, which was a gamble, but it paid off big. They are the only shoes I wore from morning to bedtime, walking up to 12 miles/day for all sorts of Italian adventures, including up and down hills, on cobblestones, in some mud and rain, pulling my carry-on bag through train stations and hillside Tuscan towns, and climbing a lot of steps. I bought 1/2 size bigger than my usual Dolce Vita size 9 bc I was planning to insert my custom orthotics, but the heel lift inside the shoe was so comfortable that I never tried the orthotics. I’m surprised by the poor ratings from others since I was so pleasantly surprised at the extreme comfort of these shoes. I am 55 yo, in good shape and exercise regularly, tend to have some back pain and knee pain (but not on this trip!), and have narrow heels but sadly getting bunions on both feet. These shoes look as good as new on my flight back home as they did on my flight to Italy. Grazie Dolce Vita!
