I never wear sneakers because it is almost impossible to find something to fit a size 4 1/2. (Don't tell me to buy children's sneakers because I don't want to wear unicorns or mermaids on my shoes.) I was very excited to see that Naturalizer was showing sneakers this summer but was not excited about paying over $100 as they were never part of my shoe collection. I am sure athletes think that is probably a fair price but at 67, I will not be running any marathons. But I saw this pair and they were so cute, I thought perhaps I could add a pair to my wardrobe if they fit well and were comfortable. Well, check, check, check. They fit perfectly, are comfortable and the zipper feature is perfect as I have trouble bending down to tie shoes. Naturalizer comes through again and the price on Amazon was a deep discount. Hazzah!
