Love my new Roxy’s- I am recovering from plantar fasciitis and
was happy to see that Dansko made a pretty cute shoe. Although
the arch support is pretty minimal, it is better than most
shoes and there is definitely a lot more cushion on the ball
of foot and heel so you don't feel like you're walking on
nothing. The shoe is made well and I got the Poppy Red shoes.
The picture does not do them justice. I love them! I am
thinking of splurging on another color in a couple of months.
I wore them out for a night of dinner and dancing. And only
got a slight blister on my big toe but otherwise, my feet were
fine. There didn't seem to be any breaking-in needed.
Hot, hot, hot! I got these in purple suede and, though I'd
bought them to wear as dress shoes, I couldn't wait and wore
them to work immediately. I got *so* many compliments, and
every few hours my officemate said, "Those are the most
beautiful shoes!" The color is gorgeous, the shape of the heel
is sexy, the little cut-out at the heel and the V-shaped
"décolletage" makes them very elegant. Okay, but are they
comfortable? Not as much as, say, a Professional, but a
thousand times better than any other pair of dressy heels I've
worn. I walked about a mile in these with no stockings and
started to get a little sore spot on the back of one ankle,
but with stockings- which is how I'll usually wear them- I'm
sure that won't be a problem. Also, as you can see in the
picture, they have significant arch support, which is unheard
of in a dress shoe. I could definitely dance in them (if I
only had a partner!). Overall, I think these are well worth
the price. I know that I'll never hesitate to wear them for
comfort reasons, and I'll always be eager to wear them for
their looks. Go, Dansko! It's also worth mentioning that
Zappos was the *only* place I found that had them in stock;
everyone else's were backordered for weeks. |
