Comfortable Shoes - lace-ups, walking shoe
Oh my gosh...this is the best shoe ever!
If you have a problem with WIDE feet (mine are boats! High instep and just plain wide!), these are a wonderful shoe. I have such trouble finding comfy stuff to put on my feet. These are actually "walkers", so they are good for all the basic stuff. They are also SUPER LIGHT! They just feel like clouds on my feet. I am in heaven.
Also, the styling on your feet is very slimming. Some shoes LOOK like boats on. These have small cording to tie up with and the shape is very narrow looking across the top. But very roomy inside.
Wide shoe that has a narrow appearance. PRICELESS!
They look like an athletic shoe, not geriatric like some walkers do (not that there is anything wrong with that ). Roomy... but I feel very secure in them when walking. Not wobbly at all.
If you have trouble getting shoes, I feel your pain!!! and I highly recommend these. Easy Spirit Women's Jumper,White/Lt Grey Leather,11 M
Very comfortable. The "W" really does mean Wide. If you have wide feet, you know that first thought when trying on new shoes, "Oh, they,ll feel better when they've stretched a little." Not with these. They fit right away. They fit when I put them on and they still fit after they are broken in. Good quality. I like the shoes a lot, I just don't give 5 stars unless I find something amazing. I would certainly purchase another pair.
This is my fourth pair of Jumper. I still have two good white pairs, but I bought this black pair so I could wear them all winter. My feet aren't particularly big, but they are wide. I try to get Extra Wide (EE) when I can, but they can be difficult to find in walking shoes. These shoes have been perfect for me because the have a roomy toebox. They are comfortable, able to accomodate inserts and are nice looking, too. The leather uppers clean nicely and I find them last a long time. My original pair has been retired to garden/outdoor work because they eventually began to look shabby, but they still feel good and have adequate support.
I was somewhat wary of buying shoes online without trying them on first, but figured that Easy Spirit typically offered a great fit in most of their styles of shoes. These shoes were no exception. I was pleasantly surprised at the softness of the uppers and support offered by the soles. These will be great shoes to wear to work as I am on my feet for the majority of the workday.
I used to be a big Easy Spirit fan, until I bought Easy Spirit's Jumper and Punter recently.
First, the good: toe box wide enough for my wide feet.
Now, the ugly: there is simple no shock absorbency. My heels hurt like hell, and the pain persists for hours after I've removed the shoes. This issue only occurred after I began wearing these new Easy Spirit shoes (it's been less than two months). I have not had any food/spinal injury.
In addition, the outsole material is very cheap and the outsole began chipping within one week of use.
As I read the product description, I find that the shock absorbent material type is not mentioned. Is it simply EVA or something else cheaper? Who knows?
I just love these shoes and I am so happy that they are still available. These latest shoes are the fourth pair I have had and they are just as comfortable and good looking as the first pair I bought. These shoes have taken me many places from Italy to Spain to France to Egypt and many places in between. Other travelers have had problems walking or nursing sore feet but I have been spared those wearing my trusty jumpers. Hopefully I can wear these out and get my fifth pair. They really last well, I wear them in the garden and everywhere.
I've ordered another style of Easy Spirit walking shoes and loved those as they fit great and need no breaking in period.... I love it when I can wear a shoe straight out of the box with no problems.
This time around I decided to give the Easy Spirit Jumper style a try due the deep discounted price and good reviews. The Easy Spirit Jumper walking shoes took time to break in and were tight feeling across the top of my feet at first. I have a high arch, so this may have been why I experienced the tightness when I fist began wearing them.
Also, the Easy Spirit Jumper looks a bit fuddy-duddy and not very stylish looking, but for the price I decided to keep them.
I don't know if it is the shoe or my foot, but I am finding them too large at the heels so they slip there causing irritation when I am walking/jogging on the treadmill. I would not buy this style again. - Easy Spirit Walking Shoes - Walking Shoe - Womens Shoes - Lace-ups'
