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.

Bad fit

The fit is bad. Previous Breez's fit perfectly. These are rather pointed at the heel and will not stay on my foot. I step out of them. I will return them.

Bad fit

The Gaines Skimmer, now produced under "Lifestride" do NOT fit the same as the former Breez's. The cut of the shoe at the heel slides off of my foot, while the rest of the shoe fits perfectly. I will send them back. I'm very disappointed. They were my "GO TO" shoe.

Not super cute but comfortable and work-appropriat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are strange. Years ago I bought Sketchers that had a very similar lightweight feel so when I pulled these out of the box I was confused given the price point difference. I put them on and they even felt similar until I walked around in them. The soles remind me of my Hokas, allowing for a bit of a bounce-feel when you walk, that makes them a level above what I originally expected. I am not sure they are cute but they are comfortable.
