Does the LifeStride Glamour run true to size?

Reports are split. Some buyers say it fits true to size; others find it runs wide and loose, especially at the sides and heel. If you are between sizes or have narrow feet, consider sizing down.

Is it good for bunions or wide feet?

Yes, this is one of its strengths. The stretch fabric upper and round, roomy toe box flex over bunions and wide forefeet without pinching.

Is the upper leather?

No. The upper and lining are polyester with a stretch fabric finish. It is soft and flexible but does not have a leather look.

How much arch support does it have?

The FreeFoam insole has a cushioned arch and maximum foot contact. It is a comfort insole, not a structured orthotic, so shoppers needing firm support may want to add their own.

Can I wear it for long walks?

It is very light and easy on the feet for errands and city days. The thin outsole and soft insole offer less structure than a walking shoe, so very long distances may not suit everyone.
