Garissa Mary Jane Flat (Women)

I was really hoping these would work out - the blue ones were JUST what I was looking for to complete and outfit. I was afraid they'd be too stiff and uncomfortable. I have a very high arch and instep, and a wide foot and this style rarely works for me, but I'm glad I gave them a try. The elastic on the strap has enough give to go over my instep comfortably and the leather is soft and pliable, not stiff as I feared. I found them to be a little long, could probably size down 1/2 size but I wanted to make allowances for width. I'm still considering trying a half size down. I'd have liked to see a bit of cushioning and arch support but I can fit an insert in these with the extra room. I'd like to see them in more fun colors...pink? lavender? lime green?

I LOVE these shoes. As someone with narrow feet, I find it frustrating that the majority of shoes are made for wider feet. These shoes fit me like a glove! The suede leather is really comfortable, so there is no break in needed. I'm in between a 5.5 and 6. I ordered these in a 6 and they are a perfect fit. I will definitely be looking into buying more shoes from this brand. As more brands tend to make shoes for the widest foot possible, and everyone else is meant to just deal with it, it's a nice change to find a brand the caters to medium to narrow width.
