Very cute shoe. This shoe looks great with jeans and slacks. I
thought it looked kind of clunky(?) in the pics but it's
actually soo cute. My comfort concern was a slight rubbing on
my right heel during my first wearing, if it happens again
I’ll just add a heel pad. I LOVE THESE SHOES.
I WANT to like these, but...
I have two other pairs of Fahren shoes which I have absolutely
loved - a loafer and a sandal. Both of those pairs were so
comfortable, I literally wore them until falling apart. So
with this pair I was hoping to have shoes that would be just
as comfy, but would look sharper for work. Very sadly, these
shoes are not that pair. They felt reasonably comfortable when
I wore them around the house before trying them outside, but
sadly, a full day at work left me in true pain. The heel is
fairly substantial and the shoe is angled in such a way that
my foot slides all the way down and smooshes uncomfortably
into the toe of the shoe. Walking around on carpeted office
floors is annoying, but okay… but when walking outside
striding around on uneven sidewalks and going up and down city
hills, the foot ends up smooshing down further and further
into the toe and feels pretty awful after a few blocks. I also
wondered if the problem might be that I'm a half-size (7-1/2),
so the European size 38 might be slightly too big. I got some
inserts in the hopes that the inserts would take up the extra
space. However, with inserts, the foot-smooshing problem was
just as bad in fact… if not worse because the smooshing was
even more painful because the squeeze at the toe was that much
tighter. I do like the look of these shoes and they work well
with work trousers and skirts. I guess I will keep trying to
wear them, but after the first several attempts, I am not
optimistic that these shoes are ever going to be the favorites
that I hoped they would be (especially for the price!). I
really feel like it is the design of the shoe and particularly
the angle of the shoe that causes the discomfort. |
