Aravon's Phoebe...

Phoebe is a great little black shoe that looks good with pants or skirts. The Medium width I bought feels a tad wider than most of my Medium width shoes but they have 3 adjustable straps that fix that problem. They are very comfortable and have a small wedge heel that make them a little dressier than most comfort shoes and great with pant suits. I plan to order another pair in another color.
Wears this shoe: Work (I teach), church or shopping.

Straps not adjustable enough

I suffer from Plantar Fasciitis. These sandals are the first I've found in a long time that are so comfortable and supportive that I can where them without pain. The only problem is that the straps aren't adjustable enough so I have to return them. I have a very thin heel and although these are a narrow width, I can't snug the strap around my heel. I hope the double AA isn't too narrow and that the straps adjust tighter.

I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis in 1990. I've not been able to wear a pretty shoe since, as I have had to wear expensive inserts inside my shoes. I'm been sooo self-conscious, even avoiding going places because of this 'handicap.' For the FIRST time, I can wear a dressy, comfortable & pretty shoe!! (I bought three pair, different colors!) If you have problems with your feet, I ask that you please give this shoe a try. It's sooo wonderful to feel pretty again!!
Wears this shoe: Any dressy occasion, (mostly church)

I love the style of this sandal, and it is very very comfortable. But I appreciated the fact that the ankle strap was adequate enough to be adjusted around my large bony ankles. Too often, when I purchase sandals that have ankle straps, they are too short to adjust to fit me. Thank you very much for making this a nice work sandal for me.

Comfortable, but too pricey for the quality

These sandals are very comfortable and stylish (I got black patent).I was able to wear them right out of the box for a full day. I wear New Balance sneakers and they deliver the same comfort as my sneakers. My feet have plenty of room. If they were $60-70 they would have been a better value. After wearing them two days, the foot bed looked like it had been worn for months. The foot bed is removable, which I checked out when I received them, however now the leather turns out and looks like the shoe is falling apart at the end of the toes. Long story short, VERY comfortable, great for wide feet. The quality of the foot bed materials leave A LOT to be desired! New Balance/Aravon need to do some rework to improve the quality of the removable foot bed!
