Skimmer’s comfortable dress shoes!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gaines Skimmers are extremely comfortable! I work them to a work event and my feet didn’t hurt at all. They have great support and are true to size. They don’t feel heavy on your feet. The material is soft and flexible as you walk. I will definitely buy more styles.

Loose
had to change from the size I wear to a smaller size. 9 to 8 1/2. First put on felt too large, but on sock, still didn't work. Put on another pair of socks, felt ok. As I walked in my home, the shoe got looser and looser.
I would not recommend this shoe. I purchased about 8 other shoes and all of them were fine. This shoe the material is to flexable.

STYLE AND COMFORT
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am not new to the brand, I am new though to this design and the website. Years ago I bought some sort booties and hadn't realized they were the same brand. The all day support they offer is amazing. They fit perfectly and the breathable material gives my feet that much needed breeze. The website offers versatility and targets a broader range of customers and activity such as formal, casual and fun styles. I recommend this brand! Comfort and light weight durable material this brand offers is hard to find.

Bzees are not the same
I have loved Bzees flats and booties for years now. I always ordered a 9M and they fit perfectly out of the box, every time.This shoe was too wide and hurt my back. Not the same. Please go back!

She’s happy!
My wife loves your shoes! So, I buy her more of whatever she doesn’t have. It makes her happy, so I’m happy. Yep. Worked out for 50 years.
