The term comfortable, as employed in the footwear industry, refers to footwear specially designed to provide adequate foot support or relief from discomfort when walking or running. The signature features of comfortable footwear are padded footbeds, broader toe boxes, contoured footbeds that follow the shape of the foot, shorter heel heights, flexible soles, greater arch support, polyurethane outer soles, and in some cases, rubber nubs on the soles to increase traction.
About Open Toe Shoes:
Open toe shoes are any styling of shoe in which the uppers do not extend across the toes and the toes are therefore exposed.

I probably should have sent these back. The medium width is quite wide. Hope I can keep them on. Maybe a partial insole will help.

I have had these shoes for awhile, but wore them for the first time today. Due to the design and construction, I almost fell several times. I had to be very careful when I was walking, so I would not roll my ankle. I had to wear them all day because I was at work. I had to stop at a store on the way home and had to walk very carefully, so I could get from and to my car without falling. Worse than that, I had a problem driving and placing my foot on the gas pedal. Wearing these shoes while driving, is also very dangerous. I do not recommend these shoes. Walking up and down stairs is also, unsafe. I cannot wear these shoes again.

Really great looking shoes. Since it's still cold where I live I have not worn them yet, probably will in March if warm enough. Felt a tad loose, but that may be due to cold weather. Think in hot weather they will feel snugger. Will look great with many different outfits. Looking forward to wearing them. Glad I got them.
