Grip

I have 9.875" long feet that are relatively slim with bunions, and minimal natural arch. A difficult foot frame to find comfortable shoes for because most shoes are too long or short, too wide, or plain painful & challenging to walk in.

I ordered the Grip in the size 8, despite the size chart recommending size 9. And I'm glad I did. The 8 fits perfectly on me. The toe box is great for my bunions. Super comfortable with no pain at all. These boots are a bit "clunky" if you're not used to the platform, space boot style they're made in. But, based on my experience with similar style boots from other brands, Melissa is by far the most comfortable and easy to walk in, for the style.

They are soft and maleable around my foot but still cushy, firm and protective in the sole. They're easy to slip on and off. The signature Melissa scent makes me smile each time I smell it; so, that's an added plus. I can walk in these for hours without discomfort, friction or difficulty.

I highly recommend these. Even bought a couple pairs for my sister as a gift (She loves them, btw.!); and, I wish I'd bought myself more pairs for when the ones I have wear out.

I will definitely be purchasing more of these in whatever colors are available when Melissa has another 50% off sale.
