Aksamala Slingback Sandal

These are my Mom's favorite model. She has bunions on both of her feet and these sandals have an elastic insert on the sides that are very comfortable. Quality shoes.

So far, I love these shoes (the Flexus Aksamala sandal). The best feature of these isn't even mentioned in the description! There's a stretch-fabric insert at the inner toebox, which makes these perfect for those of us with bunions. That, and the adjustable straps, have enabled me to wear these and forget I even have a bunion. This is the best shoe I've worn for that problem. There's good support under the ball of the foot, too, which is a little hard to get used to after wearing shoes without any. As to fit, these run true to length, but I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 because they feel a little wide. Right now I can adjust them to fit, but am almost at the maximum narrow adjustment on one foot. I feel as if, because they'll stretch a bit over time, being real leather, they might end up a little sloppy. Time will tell. I definitely recommend these for women with bunions.The ordering process was difficult. There was a promotion for a free shoe-care kit, which I didn't want. There was no way for me to remove it from my cart so I could use an active coupon code, which I preferred. The system wouldn't let me use both, but there was no way to *not* use the coupon. This was on the weekend, so I ordered the shoes anyway, due to low inventory. I called the next day to see if they could remove the kit and give me the coupon discount instead. This was submitted, and I was told it would take "up to" 7 business days to see the refund notification. It's been 7 business days and no notification or status update. I've been happy with customer service, but it seems as if this is taking a long time--from May 15 to May 26 so far.I would like to order more shoes from Spring Step, but am waiting for the resolution of this issue.
