Be Lenka Viva Leather Loafer

This shoe helped heal my plantars fasciitis that I have been dealing with for the past 5 years. They are comfy and stylish and easy to wear all day. A lot of the work I do I spend time at quite a few conferences so I am on my feet multiple hours of the day.
I got a size 36 and I have mountain shaped, normal width, normal volume feet and my foot measures 22.7cm L, 8.3cm W and I wear thin no show socks with them and they are perfect. After breaking them in, they are my go to shoe.
My only issue is the buckles jingle when I walk which can be a little annoying, but nothing some glue or nail polish won’t fix. The brim of the back of the shoe rubs above my heel, but the socks help stop the rubbing.

These are absolutely gorgeous! I bought them in both black and brown. They are not very flexible due to the slightly stiffer leather upper but I expect them to soften up a little over time. They are the perfect size for me when wearing socks but my heel slips out when without socks, but that’s not a problem when using heel grips. I am so happy to finally have dress shoes that I can feel both comfortable and confident in.

I love the shoes. They were just slightly too small, so I ordered a size up. I have a ‘mountain’ shaped foot (i.e. my second toes are slightly longer than my big toes), and it was cramped. I am typically a size 9, so I ordered a 40 as the replacement.

Beautiful shoe, too tight on bunion

These fit so narrow I wasn’t able to wear them at first. Since I wasn’t able to return in time do to a hospitalization, I was determined make it work. I was able to stretch them easily with leather stretch spray and mechanical shoe stretchers. Now they are the perfect fit and I love them.
