Tsubo Panax Athletic Shoes (For Women)

Note - I would not wear these as exercise shoes. I would wear them with casual clothes to complete the comfort factor, or to semi-dress up a pair of jeans.[...]

The advice to get the wide size was worth gold. I got my regular size, but the wide variety, and the shoe is so comfortable. very cute urban design, too. I wore them the first day to the zoo, and no blisters. get them!

Good support -- I did not even have to replace the insole with more expensive arch supports.

I like lots of support in my shoes and the Tsubo Panax have that in spades. They're fun and funky; I wear them with slacks and shorts. Have had many compliments.

I am glad I read the customer reviews that stated the shoe runs about a size too small. I usually wear a 9, but ordered a 10 and they fit perfectly!

These shoes are almost a full size smaller than what they're labeled. And even though they don't have much soft cushion, some gel inserts seemed to alleviate that. What I do particularly like is that the toe area doesn't turn upwards very much, as many shoes of similar a style by other manufacturers do. So, because these shoes have a flatter profile, there's less pressure put on the ball of the foot.

I took a chance on these funky shoes and found out that they run small. I ordered a 10, which is my normal size, and my toes touched the front; I noticed the box was marked European 40 and I'm a 41. I would've gladly exchanged them for an 11 but there were none in stock. It's too bad because they were cute and made my big feet look smaller!

Comfortable, soft leather, and good fit when first put on. There is a distinct lack of cushion in the sole, but not to a point of discomfort. The insole is thick and well made. Haven't done any serious walking in them yet, so can't attest long term walking comfort.
