Worishofer Women's 583 Slingback Sandal

I'm known for my shoe collection, but these are the ones I look for when I'm heading out the door. They look super cute with shorts, skirts, and dresses, from minis to maxis... very casual yet modern and dressier than flip-flops (slippers for those of us in Hawaii). They just give any outfit a cool edge. I receive loads of compliments on these - from cute, stylish, high school age kids AND from old ladies and middle-aged men. I find it funny, as they are definitely granny shoes. They are not at all sexy but they make my legs look great. I suppose since they are orthopedic shoes I don't even need to mention the comfort factor, but I will anyway: I can wear these for days! They are the MOST comfortable shoes I own by far - and I don't buy cheap, uncomfortable shoes. They run a tiny bit wide. If you have a super narrow foot, I can't recommend these, as the laces won't compensate enough. I normally wear a 37 (US 7) and the Worishofer 37 fits with a little room. If you are wavering, don't; you will definitely not regret buying these.Updated 5/18/2014Okay, I am on my third (and final) pair of these and have taken off two stars. The soles wear down VERY quickly. When I wore them every day, it would be a matter of a couple months before they were worn through to the cork - and at that point, they practically disintegrated under my feet. And I'm not talking about all day walking, either; I have a desk job, and I live in Hawaii where we do not wear our shoes inside our homes. I still love them for their ease of wear and, interestingly, still get compliments on them. I plan to take my current pair to a cobbler to have a thicker sole put on BEFORE it wears through... maybe something chunky for a new look.

First saw different styles at Madewell and thought they looked cute and comfortable, so I went online to look for more styles. I bought this style in black, and this beige Rheseda color in 36 and 37. This color is this best for this style in my opinion.These were my favorite shoes of 2013. Travelled to 3 countries and wore these almost exclusively. They are so light. The shape of the sole is great, perhaps a little on the hard side, not cushiony. I became accustomed to them quickly.I usually wear a 6.5, and my feet are wide. 37's are usually perfect, but this was a little on the long side. The 36's are a little short. But both are fine. I'm always really happy when I don't have to deal with width issues. The laces here make them fairly adjustable, although I didn't really have to widen mine.Its been many miles and 7 months and I still wear them and love them.

Best shoes I ever found for my feet. They fit my feet like gloves. They also look great for a sandal, very polished and dressy enough to wear to a party. They cover my feet well. I bought three pairs in different colors. Will buy another one in white. These will probably last me for ten years. I had worn Worishofer before until they disintegrated which took many years b/c I would buy several pairs at the same time and alternate wearing them.

when normal shoes just don't make walking easier, the only shoe that fills the bill is the worishofer brand. the shoes enable me to walk without foot pain and offer a support where other shoes fall way short.these are the only shoes I wear and swear by them.

Don't think will be able to wear this shoe after one season's use.First the shoe is very poor quality; paper thin leather bonded to fabric.Got an awful lesion on the foot from stitching on the front of the shoe. Covered it with moleskin which solved that problem.Cork at the back heel is crumbling on both shoes.The foot bed is peeling away from the cork at the arch.The shoes, after 2 months wear, look like they're years old and not in a good way.They are fairly comfortable.For the price would look elsewhere.

I had used Worishofer for the last 20 years. I find the sandals very comfortable for my sensitive feet. The laces on the slingback sandal provide the possibility to adjust the shoe to your needs. The heel height is just fine too. I have this type of sandal in black color too.

I have 3 pairs of the 583 style Sandals. They are really comfortable, look good with shorts and crops and also give you the extra height to look really great with skirts and jeans. I wear a size US 7 and the 37EU/7B US size fits me perfectly. I think the Rheseda color is my favorite. I love the fact that they look like a sandal, but still cover your feet completely!

I love this brand. As a mother of young kids and a teacher, I am always on my feet. These are so comfy and look really cute! I usually wear a 7/7.5 in shoes but the 8 seem to always fit with this brand.
