First of all, I am a senior citizen and am reviewing this canvas tote bag with a view toward its usability as such. I find other canvas tote bags listed as small and about 9 inches in length just a bit too small and bulging for what I usually carry inside. Large canvas tote bags usually around 21 inches long are way too big and wieldy for me to carry around. And while this canvas tote bag wasn't listed as medium sized, at 12.99 inches long, I found it like Goldilocks said, just right.Although this canvas tote bag came with a shoulder strap, I did not attach it. Bags with shoulder straps fall off my shoulder all the time, and I wouldn't wear a bag this thick cross body style. I don't need the extra bulk. :) So the short, attached carrying handles are just the right length for my liking. Longer handles like on some bags allow the tote to bang into the side of my leg when walking which is a pain. Literally!I always carry a water bottle when out and about, and this tote fits mine perfectly. And the outside pocket next to it holds my phone nicely where I can get at it easily without having to go inside the bag. The nice long outside pocket on the opposite side is perfect for keeping tissues handy. I also like that it has a strong magnetic, quick release closure for the middle section instead of a zipper which takes me forever to get into. I just took it on its first outing to the bank, and it passed with flying colors. I give it an A+.
I liked this shoe; it’s exceptionally comfortable — completely flat with excellent arch support — and looks nice.
I just love these shoes. They are comfortable enough to go for walks during lunch at work although I try not to so they will last. The support is just right for my foot.
I love the look of the shoes! The patent leather makes them look dressy. I usually wear a 9.5 or 10 and got a 10 in these and it was the right size choice. They were a bit snug in the toe area but I think that will “give” the more I wear them. I primarily bought these for concert performances where I am on my feet for hours at a time. I just came off several performances and am glad I bought these shoes. I inserted my used Brooks athletic insoles on top of the insoles already in the shoes (may have contributed to the snug toes, BTW?) because I wanted and needed more cushion. I have high arches; I’d say these have minimal arch support. But with the extra insoles, these work for me, and I think it’s a very handsome shoe, dressy but can also pass for casual.
I have plantar fasciitis and am on my feet a lot with my work. I have to wear dress shoes at work. These are very comfortable and durable. My feet are not killing my at the end of the day wearing these.
I love these shoes! They are very tight when first put on but they become very comfortable after about ten minutes- I wear them often.
