These are the best fitting and feeling sneakers I have ever owned. I am on my feet all day (working in retail) constantly walking and my feet are in foot heaven. I just wish they were more affordable for all. Thanks for a great sneaker.

I have the white steadfast in white coral and it accommodates my orthotics this black perywinkel does not. Why both are extra depth?

Hello Mia! I am happy to hear the Steadfast is a comfortable shoe for you. As we have noted on the black/periwinkle shoe; it is necessary to go up a half a size in this color to get the same fit. All of our shoes are extra depth however the weave of the black shoe is tighter than the white and it is fitting more snug. Have you tried going up a half a size as we recommend on the website?

I am a 10 in regular shoes. I went up 1/2 a size to a 101/2 in the black, steadfast. They were far too small. I returned them for an 11. My toe is still quite close to the edge in the 11. I’m reluctant to return for a 12 but feel like I should. My foot is narrow but long. I normally wear 11 in athletic shoes. Other than the sizing issue, I LOVE these shoes. I feel like I finally found something that works for my hallux rigidis.

I bought a pair of these and I love them. I have had a great deal of bunion surgery and find these the best and most comfortable. However, when I bought them (a specialty store recommended by my podiatrist and quite far away) I realized that the tongue would slide from left to right when I started walking. This was on my right shoe, the left is fine. I want to get another pair but worry that this is a problem that I cannot rectify.

Unfortunately these are not cushioned enough for me. When wearing walking several miles my plantar fasciitis becomes aggravated.

I have so many foot issues, including collapsed arches and tight Achilles tendons. I have serious orthotics that I MUST wear or I will be in a lot of pain. I have found the this shoe to be the absolute best for me! I am a size 6 but in order to have room for my orthotic I need a size 7 XW. Please make more colors in the XW as we are not all old ladies and would like to have some fun options. Additional it would be nice to have a black style without a purple X as some times I don’t want it to be so obvious I am in a sneaker. I cannot wear any of the leather styles as they don’t stretch.
