Aphrodite's sneakers--an update after wearing - If Aphrodite
wore sneakers, these would be them. I bought four pairs: blue,
mint, 2 mallows. The first mallow (wonderful lavender color)
pair fit so well out of the box that I didn't expect any
break-in. The blue pair were tight, especially the right shoe,
but seem to be stretching with wearing (toesocks rock!). So
I'd guess there's a bit of quality control lacking between
colors or batches. Otherwise, I still love these shoes, which
provide good support for my high but sturdy arches and great
walking comfort for my duck feet.
Great fit out of the box wow! I have short-toed wide forefront
high-arched feet (US 8 C/D toes A/B heel) and these fit better
that any of the women's sport sandals I've tried (Merrells,
Chaco). The toe platform is especially wide, no toe hangover
in front! Arch support falls in exactly the right place. My
friend with even shorter toes (ex-ballet dancer) found the
Nassau too tight across the instep. I'm going to try other
Columbia's because I like the last so much. The Mallow purple
is very pretty and the look very attractive for a sport
sandal. |
