2025 Footwear Rejected

Naturalizer 7s: natalia - good fit, heel unstable hated the color. Banks - pretty good fit but too bright a gold almost orange. Ginger snip toe fits well, comfy, chose a darker color. Blondo Anastasia 7.5 needed to add an insole for arch support and all attempts were too tight across the toe area. Kamik Ariel 7.5 with insoles replaced by superfeet, right toe area snug in fairly thin socks, also not enough cushioning ball of foot. Columbia boots sole too thin, not supportive enough overall. Lifestride 7s: Marlee toe too tight, Lainey no structure, minimalist straps too loose. Cole Haan Grandpro "Brown" leopard print 7 too short (toe hits), nowhere near enough ball of foot cushioning. Spring Step Jamia 38 right size but brown with grey sole is ugly Steve Madden Madrid 7 too tight, don't like lace flap or red collar. DV gold 7.5 fits well but synthetic so uncomfortable "Wayze" model (not exactly the find) which I suspect is counterfeit.
