LifeStride Women's Quell Pointed Toe Flat

I ordered these because, as a heel-dragger, I destroy all flats, and couldn't muster the courage to pack my nasty black flats alongside my clean clothes for a trip.They are FABULOUS. Don't be fooled by LifeStride's typical shoe lineup--they are super cute and go great with everything I've tried them with so far. Very comfortable to walk in; the pointed toe has a great deal of padding up there so your toes won't rub, and the heel is cushioned. I have those feet that "walk out" of every non-maryjane shoe, and these are amazingly (and not painfully? somehow?) stuck to my achilles. However, I would say that they run a tiny bit small and this may be a contributing factor to their superior walkability. I suspect them to stretch out a tad over time.Overall, extremely pleased. I came back here to order the black ones in a half-size up. We all know how rare it is to find a comfortable and cute flat shoe. Most are pure evil.

Just received these a few days ago and they are so comfortable! I wanted shoes to wear with some gray outfits and thought the black with white strap would work well. But I didn't really love the bright white on the black (and the strap has a shiny patent finish which I did not know and the description didn't say that either.) So I decided to customize them to go better with gray. A bit of metallic acrylic paint and voila! Now they are 100% PERFECT!!

Listen, I love SO many things about these shoes. In fact, I love them so much that I purchased two pairs of this exact shoe. They are cute. They stay on well. The insoles are cushioned and comfortable. I don't get blisters. Lifestride makes some comfortable, very cute shoes.HOWEVER — the insoles will ALL eventually start peeling. It will start at the toe, peel toward the heel. And I have had this problem with every single pair of Lifestride shoes I've ever owned (4 in total). Sometimes it happens within a few wears (ugh), and sometimes it happens several months in. But don't be fooled: it WILL happen.I wish they were cheaper so I could buy several at a time. Instead I'll continue to hope they still make the shoes I like by the time the insoles are ruined, or else I'll keep stuffing the insoles down every time I put on my shoes. Total bummer either way.

These are super comfortable, and very well-made! I've never liked flats- but these are gorgeous. I had to stretch with stretcher just a tad...but were so comfortable o probably could have just worn a day to do the same (Even though they fit tight, they were still super soft to wear). Price point is actually right for this high quality shoe! I plan to buy a second pair. I'm having to stop wearing heels so much due to back problem.

Ok the moment I put these shoes on I was in heaven! They are sooo comfortable and so pretty! I suffer from severe foot pain even wearing sneakers sometimes. So I am very picky about the shoes I will. I took a risk buying these because pointy shoes are usually uncomfortable but I am beyond happy. It was well worth the risk. I would give these 10 stars if I could that's how awesome they feel and look. They fit as expected and do not pinch my toes.

I wore these shoes for the first time at a conference where a walked a lot. They are very comfortable, no blisters, which I cannot say about the other shoes I wore that week. They are cute and comfortable, a winning combination.

Amazing comfort, LifeStride is a dependable brand which guarantees you comfort at a great price. The toe box isn't too narrow and the strap doesn't rub at all. I'm on my feet 6-8 hours a day and have yet to have a problem, I'm even considering buying a second pair!

Love these shoes! Fit great and look classy! Have received many compliments!Very happy with this item! Look much more expensive than the price tag!

Extremely comfortable shoe. Has good cushioning.
