Lucie II - Smooth Black

Soft nice looking shoe. Size is difficult. My high arched foot could barely squeeze into the 7.5 size, but the length was perfect. I sent them back for an 8. It is ok, but a bit too long. I wish I had stuck with the 7.5 I hope after wearing them they will form to my foot without a bit hanging off the toe.

These shoes are amazingly comfortable but the flatness means that apparently I drag my toes. I have worn them once and the front is already scuffed. Overall definitely buy but then evaluate your stride? LOL

The leather is so soft. It doesn't need to be broken in. Once it learns your foot, it's fabulous. I do have a callous on my fifth toe that doesn't respond well to any medical intervention or shoe. With these a small bandaid is all I need. I bought a pair in my usual size 8 and a pair a size down. Wearing without socks seems best with the 7/7.5 and the 8s are better with thin socks. I have balance issues that disappear with the flat soles. They are not like other barefoot type shoes where I felt every pebble. The insole is enough to protect my feet and keep the foot sitting level. I spent a lifetime wearing shoe lifts, twisting my ankle and falling down. I feel safer in these lightweight shoes and my balance is significantly better.
