From the Manufacturer
Japanese for "pressure point," Tsubo is a design-driven company founded by British designers Nick O'Rorke and Patrick McNulty in July 1997. Tsubo is designed for the fashion conscious, comfort-driven individual who wants the highest-quality materials along with the highest-quality product. The soles are built with comfort in mind -- all of the styles have the unique cushion oval bubbles strategically placed on the sole at various pressure points of the foot for the highest amount of comfort. These bubbles not only provide comfort, but they also allow you to instantly recognize that these are Tsubo shoes.

Customer Reviews

Stylish and walkable
I usually wear a 9.5-10, but Tsubo runs a bit long and wide, so the 9 fits perfectly. However, these shoes work well with narrow feet because the velcro strap across the ankle really holds your foot and keeps it from slipping like so many uncomfortable women's heeled shoes. The heel gives you quite a bit of height without sacrificing style. I especially love how the leather around the back of the ankle is seperate from the sole itself, so that the shoe flexes instead of your ankle slipping up and down the back of the shoe. The last great bit is the slightly rounded toe, so that your toes never touch the front of the shoe. I can't work in these if I plan to walk to lunch at work, but they are great short-term shoes.

LOVE this shoe! Not happy with the dark red version
I wanted to invest in a few solidly made pair of shoes. I purchased two pair of Acrea: black & dark red. If I could give them six stars on comfort, I would. I can wear them all day at work and well into the evening, which is huge with my fallen arches and arthritis. They feel like tennis shoes. I also have narrow feet but didn't have the problem the other reviewer had. As with any shoe, I guess you must try them and see.

The red Acrea's color was blotchy when they arrived like the dye didn't take evenly. They immediately started to discolor/lighten, show even the slightest scuffs (from carpeted stairs, etc) and look like older worn out shoes. This is big disappointment when you spend $130 on shoes.

I love them and receive many comments from strangers on the street, just beware with the lighter colors.

Unwearable for me.
I love the look of these shoes and I have other Tsubos which are really great. I wear a size 8 and have a narrow foot. When I tried these in the store I was really impressed. However I tried them on my feet, bare. When I tried to wear them with lights, or sox I found that my foot slipped down and the edge of the front was unbearable. I have not found a way to wear them, and I didn't return them, so next I will try to take them to the shoe repair and insert a pad to put my foot back further.
