Boulevard Slip-On Sneaker (Women)

These shoes are cute, but they are really tight across the top. They aren't particularly wide, either, though I got a "wide" size. But the width is okay--it's just that they press down on my toes from the top. I had to keep them because I really wanted to wear them to an event right after I got them. Because they are fabric, I was hoping that they would loosen up and give a bit more with wear, but so far they haven't. Too bad. I've had so many fabric shoes that were really comfortable.

I have worn Bzees shoes for years and have appreciated the wide arch support and soft but sturdy sole construction. The Boulevard slip on was a total disappointment! The arch support is very small and hard plastic. The sole is also hard black plastic material. The sole pattern is like a grill pan and very slippery. The fit is very uncomfortable to me. I don’t know whether this deviation in design and materials used is because of Lifestride influence. I hope that other Bzees models are similarly changed to this model. If so, I will no longer be a customer. Very sad
