After thousands of dollars on so called comfy shoes I have finally found a pair that live up to that designation! These shoes have an inner lining that is so soft I can spend all day standing in them without aching feet. Also, they have nubs on the soles to keep me from slipping up the stairs at the courthouse, which is such a bonus. These are a steal of a deal and I love them. Stylish and comfy?! That's a winner!
Comfortable enough to convert the heel averse!

I am not a big heels person - I work a professional job and attend a lot of meetings and do a lot of walking. I typically stick to flats or shorter heels when absolutely necessary. I love the way heels look, but never seem to find them comfortable enough to endure all day. However, I'm attending a wedding in Vegas next month and needed a nude heel that I can walk comfortably in. I ordered these LifeStride Parigi pumps and several other heels at the same time, but these were the CLEAR winner. They are so comfortable!!! I only really intended to wear them for the wedding occasion, but they are so comfortable and stylish that I've worn them several days already. My feet are well supported, the pumps have a flattering shape with enough toe-point to thin the legs but not smash your toes. Note that I ordered both the taupe (nude, non-shiny) and the shiny nude versions and for some reason, the shiny version had somewhat less cushioning in the heel than the non-shiny version. Both were comfortable, but I preferred the non-shiny version.
Really disappointed

NIâm not sure why everyone is saying the shoes are so comfortable. The first day they were OK I guess but it has gotten progressively worse since then, by the end of the day my second time wearing them the bones in my toes and the ball of my foot were killing me. Also after only my third day wearing them to work I noticed the seem on the inside part of one of the shoes busted open and is now ripping. Iâm really disappointed because I wanted to like the shoes since I had heard good things about them. But here I am with no box to send them back in and in need of a different pair.
Extremely comfortable pumps, especially for a wide foot
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2017
Extremely comfortable pumps, especially for a wide foot.. I have a hard time finding dress shoes that fit because I have a wide foot but narrow heel. Usually, to get them wide enough to be comfortable, I have problems keeping the heel on. But, these shoes fit perfectly in an 8 1/2 wide (C/D), even while dancing. No painful feet at the end of the night - it was wonderful. I have already ordered another pair in a different color.
Wonderful Pumps

These are super cute denim pumps that go with everything from jeans to dresses. They felt so good, even after a long day at work, I did the cha cha all the way to my car. Workmates saw me and called mental health services and I was able to outrun them and jump and fence in these fabulous magic shoes.
So Comfortable!

I bought both the Lively and Parigi pump hoping to pick the better one and I can't decide. I think they run a tad big because I'm usually a 5.5 or 6 and the 5.5 is just slightly too big.This one is the more comfortable of the two but it's also the more "matronly" one. I feel like I could walk long distances in these and they feel sturdy. The bottoms are slip resistant and don't have cheap plastic heel caps! I'll be adding studs to them to make them look a bit younger and more fashionable. The Lively is a bit slimmer and more fashion forward than the Parigi.Update: I loved the white so much I bought the black kiddy. I thought it would be a shinier leather based on the picture. I added a leopard strap and Iâll be adding studs as well. Perfect basic shoe to alter plus they are extremely comfortable.
Bizarre narrow sizing; great color and shape
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2018
These are very cute, with a true cherry red patent color and well shaped heel. However, the sizing is so weird. I normally wear an 8 in heels, occasionally an 8.5. I'm normal width in almost every brand except Naturalizer, where I take a wide width 8. Here, the 8b were too narrow. 8.5b were much too long, still too narrow in the toe despite the round shape. The 8w are the right length but STILL way too narrow in the toe! The material is synthetic so no hope of stretching, plus not breathable at all. (FWIW, I ended up going with a pointed-toe Cole Haan in 8.5b.) Go figure. If these ones happen to work for your feet, they feel reasonably well balanced. Good luck!
Third timeâs a charm!

I usually wear size 7.5 wide. They were too small in this brand, especially across the width of my foot, but also a bit in length. I figured if I got the WWs that would solve the issue. Too big... the 7.5 WW ended up with a huge space left over in the heel and flopped right off my feet when I walked. So... on to the 7 WW. Perfect!!! I would suggest considering sizing down but wider than your normal size.The taupe color is perfect for me too!

These are great shoes. The heel isn't too high and they look great with dresses/skirts or a pair of jeans. They are very versatile and, most importantly, they are super comfortable. I didn't have to "break them in" before wearing them all day at work and I've even been dancing in them. I have more expensive shoes that kill my feet after wearing them for just a few hours, but these may be the most comfortable heels I have ever owned. I am very happy with this purchase.

These pumps are the closest I have found to walking on pillows. Between the cushiony insole and the rubber outer sole, there is no pressure whatsoever. I do find them to be a little snug. I bought the 9.5W, and I could probably use the 10W, but I'll wait until the price drops again.EDIT 28 Oct 19: These shoes have a serious flaw. I wear them daily for work, and, as is normal for most pumps, the heel cap eventually wears down. I had purchased a replacement selection of heel caps, and the procedure ought to be quite straightforward: taking a pair of pliers, you grip the old heel cap firmly, and gently twist back and forth as the metal peg works its way out. However - and this is the second pair of LifeStride Parigis that this has happened to for me - the rubber cap strips immediately off the metal peg, leaving only about 1.5mm of exposed metal to try to grip and twist. Literally not possible, as the pliers just jump off the tiny piece of peg, stripping it even worse. This is the second pair I have had to throw in the trash due to this issue, and I am NOT HAPPY!

First off, these shoes are absolutely stunning. The pictures don't do them justice. They shimmer as though they are covered in rhinestones. They are strangely both silver and gold, so depending on the jewelry you select you can wear them as a silver shoe, or add more warm tones and they become a golden shoe. It's like magic!These are probably the most comfortable heels I have ever worn. The material inside is soft and slightly spongy. It feels almost like a soft leather suede inside. The heel itself isn't too high, so if you're looking for a stiletto this isn't it. It's slightly higher than a kitten heel though. They are also very true to size. I'm a size 7 and that's what I ordered and they fit perfectly in length and width. The bottom of the shoe isn't slippery at all and has small little rubber grips that make them very easy to walk in. Even the heel itself isn't slippery.I have very bad knees (osteoarthritis) and I work these shoes all night last night and today my knees don't hurt one bit! For me, that is the true test of comfort. The inside of the shoe didn't rub anywhere on my skin and I don't have a single blister.I love them so much I'm already looking to order another pair from this company. I'm eyeing up the red patent ones

I have extremely wide feet (6.5 EEEE) and usually have to size-up just to get "extra wide" shoes on my feet. Imagine my surprise when I sized up and the shoes were too big - not only in length but in width too! It was a pleasant surprise. I returned the too-big shoes for a half-size down, which are still a bit too long, but perfect width.

These pumps are nicely but not excitingly styled, and are a useful shoe for wearing with trousers or dresses. What sets them apart for me is that they FIT, and are comfortable. I have very wide feet, so it is wonderful to find something that is not a sneaker in a WW size. I am probably a size 10 1/2, but sized up to the 11 - this is actually a little long for me (possibly about 1/4â) but I would rather have a little too much room than have my toes squished. I have now ordered a navy pair, and wish there was a nude pair available in my size!

Tight in the toe area plus the pattern of both shoes did not match. They should at least look somewhat a like. In the second shoe, there was very little green. A bit of green colour on the heel, the rest of the shoe was practically all white and some blue and a lot of black. They do not match.

LOVE these heels! I tried on the Parigi at a local store and thought they were nice, but the store didn't have my size. I took the plunge to order them on Amazon and am so glad I did. The color is exactly as shown in the photo, perhaps a little lighter in certain lighting. The shoe upper material is soft and flexible while maintaining its support... No blisters from these heels so far! Great grip on the sole and a super comfortable mid-heel height. I'll be coming back for more colors!

I have a great deal of trouble finding WW shoes. Most often even if the shoe is labelled WW it is not true to width. These are!!!! Excellent fit, supper support and comfort. Can wear these all day and to after work events. I plan to order this shoe in other colors.

These were beautiful to look at and the quality and price are good but the fit was too big! I ordered a 9.5 wide but they were too long and waaaay too much room in the toe. My foot was sloshing around! If you have plump feet these would work for you. Mine are wide but thin so there was a lot of space where the shoe covers the top of the foot. Customer service and returns was really good

I wear EU 36 size which is equivalent to US 6 size. I ordered size 6 but it fit little large for me. So I ordered 5.5 and it fit me perfectly. It is really soft and nice. I just loved it. The package arrived 4 days before the expected arrival date and I really appreciate their prompt delivery service. I am going to order them in a couple of different colors.

Problem with buying online. Ordered W to make sure they fit. Narrow not an option. However the wide is definitely wide. Therefore a bit big. It will work for short periods.
