Sneakers with thick soles - sparkling gold fabric, wide laces

Cool sparkling shoes from Gabor! The trick with these sneaker-like walking shoes is in the unique lacing. The eyelets go all the way down to the sole, so the lacing is very wide. And the laces themselves are nicely wide too. There are small stretch panels on both sides of the flap on top to make putting them on easier. Absolutely lovely and stylish shoes!

Maria the merchant’s medium-width feet – details:

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• A “flipper” shape, meaning the toes are almost equally long, with no pronounced curve at the toe line 😊
• A slightly rounded toe box suits best; very pointed shapes often don’t have enough room for Maria’s big toe
• Usually wears size 43, with a medium-wide G last or a wide H last
• In barefoot shoes, typically size 42, because there’s enough room for the toes
• Length of the longer foot 26.8 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 11 cm

Size 43 was the right fit for Maria’s foot. The width was perhaps just a bit tight. Unfortunately, the toe box was too pointed for Maria’s flipper-shaped foot, and there wasn’t enough room for her big toe. Maria was quite disappointed that there wasn’t a suitable model for her foot. A good model for someone with slightly narrower feet. Absolutely lovely shoes and so soft and beautiful!

Sanna the merchant’s narrow/medium-width feet – details:

• Not a high instep and not a low instep
• The toes form a gentle diagonal line – the tips go in "length order" 😊
• Usually size 39–40 depending on the model
• Slightly narrow F width or medium G width
• Length of the longer foot 25.2 cm
• Width at the ball of the foot 9.8 cm

Size 40 was just right for Sanna in every way. She started using them right away! 😊
