A friend of our site Katie recommended we try these shoes, and she was right! These shoes are so cute and inexpensive! The Amazon Essentials Loafer Flats come in wide and even though they are pointed, they have a wide toe box. The shoes are flat so there is no heel and you can dress them up or down. They are lightweight and come in lots of great colors. One issue with the color is that the shoes you receive are not always the same as shown. For example, the Dark Turquoise in Amazon is actually a dark teal green but the navy blue was as pictured. The biggest issue with these shoes is minimal to no arch support but they have been comfortable to wear to work when I’m not walking a lot. The insoles of these shoes are not removable so there is no room for custom orthotic inserts but I have been wearing them with Flat Socks for extra comfort. (See the link below for more details on Flat Socks)
The shoes arrive in a small Amazon pack wrapped in plastic (not a box) but the pairs I received were undamaged and didn’t get squashed.
These shoes run true to size to a half size big. I have these in 7 wide and 7.5 wide. The 7.5 wide is too roomy, but I wear them with my Flat Socks to make them more comfortable and a little smaller.
