LifeStride Lainey Pump

Ok, writing this about a year after owning them. I have the good and the not so good. For reference, I ordered a 9.5 W- I don’t have the M width to compare, but I feel like there isn’t too much of a difference. I find my left foot- specifically my two digits rubbing up against the box and causing some discomfort. They still have a pointed toe so you are still cramming your toes in the toe box so not “ideal toe box situation.” Oh, you also may or may not see the bottom of your toes peek out from the toe box so if that’s not your favorite thing, these may not be for you. Don’t get me wrong- I do like them. They are the perfect in-between flats and heels for running errands in or just looking for one step up from casual shoes. The heel strap does not stay up for the life of me. I am constantly slipping out mid walk/run and have to adjust them if I want them to look at pictured. The other big gripe I have is the material is less than stellar so my toe boxes on each shoe are peeling. Not so pretty. If you can get over all of that, they are a nice shoe to have in your collection. I would probably purchase them again. The wide sizing was what really sold me on them, so maybe if Naturalizers or another brand makes a dupe, I would give them a shot first.

I just got my second pair. These are very comfortable, and give a nice sleek look to your feet. Also, the band is not very tight which I like because it doesn’t cut off my blood circulation at the top of my foot.

I probably wear a true 12.5 but that’s never an option. I purchased a 12 medium & it fits great! My toes don’t feel smushed (which they usually do in any degree of pointed-toe shoe) & the straps fit perfectly. I ordered a wide, as well, to compare both. Both fit well, however the wide had a gap across foot & heel strap felt like once it stretches, it could potentially slip off. Love this shoe & will be ordering more colors!

I wore these for the first time to work and they were so comfy. I received a lot of compliments from my co workers and even my daughter. They did not pinch my toes and they are very cushiony with every step

I was looking for a dressy-casual low heel pair of shoes to wear with slacks. I bought this pair and a pair very similar to these. I ended up keeping the other pair just because they were a touch dressier. However, these were very comfortable and cute. I have had surgery on my feet and have arthritis in my big toe joints and could still wear these without any issues. The only drawback is that there is no adjustment in the heel/ankle straps. They are stretchy, but you cannot make them smaller if you would need to do so.
