Bolero Shoe

I had surgery last October, did not fix my foot, and I now have a brace, and these shoes enable me to wear the brace with comfort and are the best.

Great value, very good comfortable shoe, I would certainly buy again .

I bought these shoes for my father. He is 82 and has severe bunions and hammertoes. He has had a terrible time finding shoes that fit. He and my mother raved about these shoes!! My mother is now thinking about getting a pair. I have a feeling you have just made another repeat customer! Thanks much, Lisa

Very comfortable shoe. Takes a while to brake in!

Look at last message

My feet and ankles tend to swell throughout the day with the left foot more swollen than the right. I like that I can adjust the shoes to adjust for the swelling. In additionI like that despite these differences my feet feel secure and comfortable in the shoes. It took me a couple of tries to come up with a technique to put the shoes on as the shoes look more narrow than my other shoes. When I discovered I could slide my feet right into them by sitting on my bed, putting my leg up on the bed and using my index finger in the inside of the heel to aid them sliding in it made me smile. Lots of room in the toe box to accommodate my hammer toes. I have been looking for new shoes and took a chance that Pandere shoes would work for me and happily they have been a success. Like the look of them. They do not look like my grandmother's shoes.

Very good shoes just shy of excellence Several months ago, I bought a pair of the Barista shoes and fell in love immediately. From concept through design, I couldn't have been more pleased with the product (I'm even wearing them now). When I wrote the company to rave about the shoes, I mentioned my wish for a men's shoe like this that could be work on occasions that needed to be a little less casual -- that could go with slacks and a blazer, if not a suit, even. Pandere responded with The Bolero. I received mine a few weeks ago. Admittedly, I do not like this shoe as much as I do the Barista. The base design doesn't seem to be as wide, hence they are not quite as comfortable for folks like me who have extremely wide feet and occasional swelling issues to boot. Arch support (I'm flat-footed) doesn't seem to do much, though the company does promote inserting other orthotic devices. But, even with these challenges, the shoe is quite comfortable even if for shorter periods of time. If the Baristas are an A+ shoe, the Boleros are an A-/B+ shoe. I do not in any way regret the purchase, but I do hope the designers can address some of the fit issues when the next iteration of this shoe is unveiled.

very comftorable and supportive Very nice shoe. Look of material and craftsmanship is excellent. The neoprene inside really comforts feet, like being wrapped in pillows. Great support. I have Diabetic Nephropathy so feet ache and swell. My feet do not ache with these and Love the easy to pull and adjust system as feet change in size with swelling. Be sure and confirm your Width size B thru E this is something I did not know was a thing, always just went by foot size. The site does not give a breakdown what foot width diameter falls into the various size catagory nor a how to measure. So if you do not know your base width size google to figure that out. You will want to know that and compare to the chart to what size they can expand too. I tried to bring this up in Chat, but that was a terrible experience. Not sure if it was system translation program with someone that did not understand English, the person or some AI kind of program trying to translate and reply.

At Long Last Due to the unique skeletal structure of my feet I have always had to buy shoes that were too long for me. Once in a blue moon I found a pair of shoes that fit but mostly I just had to bite the bullet and wear uncomfortable and ill-fitting shoes. Until Pandere came along, that is. They adjust this way, they adjust that way and I've never worn more comfortable shoes. I look forward to seeing new styles as their product line grows but for now, I just want to thank them for taking the time to do something no one else has been able to do—provide a consistent, multi-size shoe for people with anomalies Thank you, Pandere!.
