First use: The shoes are roomy, I put an additional insole inside. They are comfortable at the very first use.

I used them at work (desk job) and for grocery shopping.

Further uses: very nice to walk in, rain resistant. I use them at work and for downtown walks.

My opinion: I've never used a slip-on shoes before, so this was a well thought test. I finally have on easy going and light option to be use on autumn/winter rainy days. The quality is very good, in my opinion the price is incredibly fair. Made in Portugal

New shoes on the way

Here I am after more than a year after my latest post.
I was fine with the collection of shoes I have and busy wearing them.

Now I have two more shoes to review: a black flat and a black slip-on.

The first one is already in use, I'm waiting for the delivery of the second one.

I also want to write about overshoes for rainy days and update the reviews of the shoes I own after 1+ year of use.

Delivery time: 1 day and a half from order

Notes on the seller/e-shop: the owner was very kind, she wrote me after my order to be sure I chise the correct size (she didn't know I ordered after reading a review on an italian site http://www.stiletico.com/2012/07/testati-da-stiletico-sandali-sonia-di.html, where it was explained how to choose the size). I hope she will be able to add on the web site a size table and explanation.

Payment: PayPal

Outsole: flat, material that looks like leather

Insole: I like the material because it's very smooth and the foot doesn't stick on it if it's hot. It's also a pleasure to touch.

Upper: this model is really “nude”

Heel: slight

First use: tried at work (mainly desk work) with no problem

Further uses: I can't walk in this shoes for a long time in the city because it doesn't have the elastic support that I need on the outsole and heel. My legs become painful.

My opinion: I think the materials are great, the apperance is very well-finished and the color is intresting. The shoes are ok for me to be worn at work where I don't have to walk that much but they are less good on city walk. I didn't reach my goal for this shoes and I discover that “nude” model is not for me. The shoes are made in Italy. I will follow this brand to see how it will evolve.
