Beautiful shoes, incredibly comfortable

I love my PIAR performance heels! They look beautiful and professional, providing the feeling of heels and the comfort of a sneaker. I have worn them for an entire day, including pulling a suitcase for many city blocks, trekking across airports, and thousands of steps. Super comfortable. And lots of compliments for how great they looked!

Comfort with arch support

Comfort with arch support. Classic with a pop of color. I love my red Piar’s so much that I bought them In black as well. I think that they will continue to be more comfortable the more I wear them as they will stretch and form to my feet. Thank you Caroline for the design and especially for the customer support!

Uncomfortable fit

I love everything about this show except the way it fits. I'm going to return and get the next size up and see if that works as it's a very pretty shoe and feel if the fit is right it will be quite comfortable
