Easy SpiritWomen's Travelport19 Mule

I have bought Easy Spirit Traveltime and Travelport slip-ons for literally years. They come in so many nice-looking colors, materials, and patterns that I've bought them for all but the dressiest occasions. As I've gotten older, I seldom bother with evening gowns and the like, so my shoe "wardrobe" is almost exclusively from East Spirit. I even buy slightly wider or go up half a size when wearing bulkier socks, and go down when wearing thin Buster Brown plain cotton socks. Because I've found that the shoes are forgiving in terms of support/insole fit so that going up or down a bit doesn't affect comfort, I decided to do a experiment. My husband normally wears a size 9.5 W rather than his old size 9 Regular to accommodate his preference for loosely woven diabetic socks. (No, no foot or leg problems, he just likes the feel. He's been wearing slip-on shoes for some years now. One hip got damaged, possibly from too many judo falls, and his hip had to be replaced.) The rule of thumb is that men's shoes run 1.5 sizes larger than women' and figured out the size conversion, remembering that men's shoes are generally wider; for example, a D compared with a B-to-C in regular women's shoes. In my case, I usually wear an 8.5C, as I need a bit of extra room across the toes, but not at the heel, so I generally order 8.5 W in Easy Spirit and ignore the too large heel (best option in the summertime) when wearing the same brand of socks my husband wears, which are soft but slightly bulky. The alternative is to go up to a 9 medium or order the 8.5M and wear thin Buster Brown socks. In that case, I'd stretch the toe area a bit before wearing that size for any length of time. As I've indicated, the shoes are "forgiving", and as my size range is fairly popular, I'm flexible on choosing a size. As a result of my own experiences with the shoes over many years, I ordered size 11WW of the Travelport19 in the dark blue with tan trim for him. He couldn't find a decent men's boat-style shoe that wasn't either too hot and heavy or shoddily made. Happy to report that the experiment was a success! He likes the way they look, they feel great, when wearing his favorite socks his feet still have room, and he hasn't had to break the shoes in. He generally wears blue jeans or khakis, and he has to pack lightly for an upcoming trip, so these shoes should be just what he needs. One more note: These shoes wear surprisingly well and seem durable, but I rotate my choices throughout each season to give my favorites a rest, allowing them to air out. I always wear some kind of sock, which keeps the shoes cleaner on the inside, plus I gently spot clean the outside as well as the soles as needed. I've never had to put them through a washing machine, although I understand that is possible. When I discover that a particular pair just doesn't get worn often enough to justify keeping it because of wardrobe updates or personal preferences, I donate it to AMVETS or a similar organization such as Purple Heart, as my husband is retired military.

This model seems to be pretty consistent in the sizing and comfort. I have another Traveler, different model but these both wear so well. I have severely damaged feet so I have a hard time with many shoes but these are wonderful. They fit right out of the box, are light weight and very comfortable. I Highly recommend them.

I have searched for years for a pair of shoes I can work on for 10 hours a day in and now I have found them. I have several issues with my feet including arthritis and flat feet. These have good arch support and they're like walking on air. Absolutely no pain.

I bought these to use inside the house, they're great and comfortable. Only giving 4 stars because I don't feel like they're true to size. I'm a 9xw(2e) and I had to size up one to get a good fit.

I have so many pairs because of the comfort and ease of putting on taking off. Just slip right into them. I have a narrow foot and these come in narrow. Many slip on are not available in narrow, plus they come in so many many colors. Love them.

This is my second pair very happy with this product!

These are comfy and the narrow fits well.

Can be worn anywhere

It is so comfortable it’s hard to wear anything else. You could walk miles in this pair of shoes.

Very versatile and great for walking. True to size. Would purchase again.

I'm thrilled! At long last, I've discovered a functional shoe that adequately accommodates my orthotics, offering ample space, exceptional comfort, and an appealing appearance.

They are very comfortable and fit as expected. They also have a decent arch support.

Super comfy slip on , the only thing I dislike is my feet get hot and sweaty fast. They might be just fine later in fall.
