For elevator shoes, these are so incredibly stylish and comfortable.
I was absolutely impressed with not only the style and flexibility of these shoes - I was absolutely wowed but their performance. True to the description, they are a bit snug to the feet but, I was able to get my feet into them perfectly with not a problem. They gave me a few extra inches in height without it being obvious that there were lifts in my shoes. You honestly cannot tell, even close up. These shoes appear to just be regular slip on shoes. The quality is super nice and I can see these shoes lasting a long time in my closet and on my feet!
I would definitely, absolutely recommend these wonderfully tall and comfortable shoes!

These shoes are carefully packaged for shipping. Each shoe is individually wrapped to hinder any marring or scuffing. The first thing we noticed when we lifted the lid, was the smell of leather. It reminded us of the days when every shoe had that genuine smell. These shoes fit the bill for that casual but dressy occasions. The fit is very comfortable and true to size. Everything appears to be very well made. The craftsmanship is impeccable.

It’s been really hard to find shoes that I like for the last few years but these stuck out to me as I was browsing. The black suede is subtle, with the white banding for contrast to really set it apart. I was expecting a heavier shoe but these are lightweight and made well with the durable suede leather. I can confirm that they are in fact real suede and so I made sure to Scotchgard the moment they arrived so that they would not get damaged by rainy Weather. So far they have held up extremely well.
The main thing that I do not like about them is that the laces come to the very very top of the shoe. That means that if you need to tie them at all you have about half an inch. You should definitely expect to be buying replacement laces.

These are a nice sleek causal shoe, that fit as expected. They pretty much match with anything which is cool. They are comfortable and seem to be made well. I think my only complaint is the tongue. It's very thin and short, hard to get a grip on it to slip the shoe on. Otherwise overall happy with the shoe.

The go-to 'non-athletic' athletic shoe frankly. I've been buying the 574's for like 20-some years for basic purpose of getting around with jeans. Super comfortable everyday wear. No a particularly good running shoe but that might just be me.
This is also the first pair of Black. I should have picked grey on second thought.

The Columbia Fairbanks are comfortable, supportive, and have a good sole. The grippy sole is the most important part of a shoe for me, since I have an older individual wearing these sneakers, and avoiding slipping/falling is super important. The shoes are worn for daily walking about and work well for that.
The arch support feels great; there’s no foot fatigue at the end of a day wearing these. The mesh is breathable, but doesn’t block out any water, including puddles.
The sizing is true to size.
The look of the wide lacing is a personal preference (not a big fan) but definitely makes putting the shoes on and taking them off much easier than a narrow-tongued sneaker. Overall, the look of the shoe isn’t too athletic, so it could be worn in a variety of settings if you’re looking for comfort/support.

My husband loves this sneaker. What a relief as he is the most difficult guy when it comes to buying shoes. According to him, they never fit right. These sneakers look very nice right of the box. The insole is memory foam, so they are very comfy.
Reviewer Da L Luo
These shoes look very similar to a Nike pair that I own. They are cushy inside and fit as expected. The overall workmanship and materials feel about like the quality I would expect from a target or Walmart shoe. These will make great work shoes, though I don’t expect them to last very long.
Reviewer E MCKINNEY
Love these shoes, supper comfortable. If you are going for long 3 mile plus walk running shoes are more comfortable, but for everyday wear these are great.
Reviewer Mary Anderton
This is a lot of shoe for a very good price. True to size, providing excellent support and easy to look at !
