These shoes feel like slippers. I am someone who stands a lot at work, and normally only wears “comfort shoes.” I love having pretty dress shoes that I can trust as much as my casual comfort shoes.

My Nota Bene shoes have been great! I have shied away from any kind of heel my entire professional career — I never found a pair that fit well and were comfortable for more than a few hours. I really took a risk with the Nota Bene shoes and I have not been disappointed. I have worn them on long days, and even run to meetings!

Nota Bene has helped me rethink when I can wear heels! The first time I wore my Nota Bene shoes I was not planning to have a long day at work. I walked into the office to find that I had been assigned a "grenade" — the term my business uses to describe an unexpected project that requires immediate attention and a quick turn around. I spent the next 12 hours running around in my Katherines, meeting with people and gathering the information I needed. At the end of the day, I was tired but my feet were surprisingly happy!!

It has taken me nearly a decade to find shoes that I can wear all day long, running through airports or walking to meetings with my colleagues, that have the style and comfort I found in Nota Bene shoes.  I currently own two pairs and wear them nearly every day of the week.  I have found that even when I could dress more casually, these shoes are so comfortable that I prefer to wear them.  Thank you for creating these shoes.

The Ingrid shoes make my feet so happy! Finding well-made, attractive, comfortable work shoes can be a challenge, particularly for someone like me with wider-than-average feet. The European sizing and roomy toe box are a perfect fit, and the smooth lining means no rubbing, and no blisters at the end of a long day. Then there's vanity. (We're talking about shoes, right?) I like wearing a heel but won't spend my days teetering around in a narrow unstable shoe wondering which of my toes will be the first to go numb. My Nota Benes have real heels, but they're so comfortable I can wear them all day and forget I'm in heels. They have forever replaced my favorite pair of comfort sandals at work - which are fabulous too, but didn't go over so well in meetings, even with the fancy socks. Thanks Nota Bene!

Handling both clients and family, I can't tell you how much I appreciate shoes that are as comfortable as they are beautiful.  I'm in my Nota Bene shoes for about 12 hours a day, and I love that I no longer have to sacrifice style for comfort. After 18 months, they are holding up beautifully, I continue to get compliments on them, and they’re a sure choice whenever I travel!

Who knew pointy-toed heels could feel so good?”

I was reading a review of shoes on MSN, and they recommended Nota Bene for women who have to do a lot of work on their feet and women who have wider feet. I went and tried while I was at a conference in Chicago. . . .I was in LOVE. They feel like the "comfortable shoes" that you put in your bag, but they look like the cute heels that you want to wear out and around to impress people.
