I've been buying Rieker® German-made shoes for travel for years -- they're like walking on pillows and if you travel alot (or, like us, have an airport the size of a small city that you have to schlep through), you will love. this. brand.  I snapped up these 2 pair of the same cute, cute, cute embroidered-floral style at DSW a couple of years ago but they've been sitting in the closet ever since, getting no wear because I've really got plenty of other similar travel shoes.  I think I've worn the black pair once and the white ones not a single time.  

So I hope one of you will take these home and enjoy them.  This style has been out of production for a while and is nowhere to be found, although Rieker shoes are still widely available (e.g., at The Walking Company store or website, Zappos, TravelSmith)

Fit is TTS in length and TTS through the heel, but roomy through the toe box and across the top of the foot -- similar, say, to the way Børn® shoes fit.   If you've got a high arch, you'll love the Z-Strap's forgiving length.  I have to have Rieker®'s Z-Straps shortened by my favorite  shoe repair dude since my foot's narrow through the top and forefoot.  Their toe boxes are really a bit wide for me, too, but their shoes are still super comfy for me.  And if your foot's a bit wider than mine, oh MAMA are you gonna love 'em! :-)

Here's how Endless.com and Amazon.com described this shoe specifically and the Rieker brand generally: 

Breathable, Adjustable & Travel-Ready
Rieker has been handcrafting the latest European footwear since 1874, designing for the dynamic qualities of the human foot with a snug heel, forgiving instep, and roomy toe box.  Rieker's Liv Z-Strap Skimmer allows for complete comfort without sacrificing style.  Its patented Antistress sole has been given a fashion boost by colorful embroidery accents and a kicky, crossing hook-and-loop Z-Strap Velcro® closure that allows you to adjust the fit as the day progresses. These shoes make travel a cinch!  Supple leather upper conforms to your foot, while the shock-absorbing outsole and wide toe box make your feet feel pampered, no matter how long your itinerary.  And each shoe weighs only 8 ounces!
