Easy Spirit Romy: Affordable Support in a Top-Selling Walking Shoe

Easy Spirit Romy

Fifteen years and still going strong. We love when shoe companies keep their top-sellers around instead of discontinuing them after a season or two, leaving fans to scour eBay for a lucky find. The Easy Spirit Romy checks all the boxes of a good walking shoe:

Easy Spirit Romy

Good fit:

A wide toe box provides a comfortable fit for feet with bunions, hammertoes, neuropathy and neuroma. Footwear that fits well in the forefoot often has a sloppy fit at the heel. Not so with the Easy Spirit Romy. Customers remark that their heels stay put with no slipping.

Extended widths:

The Romy comes in a range of widths from super slim to extra wide and half sizes 5-10, 11 and 12. A few color combos come in the hard-to-find 10.5.

Removable insole:

Why buy an expensive gym shoe to accommodate your orthotics when you can find the Easy Spirit Romy for under $70?

Decent arch support:

Most reviewers classify the Romy’s arch support as moderate, not enhanced. This may be a deal-breaker for you, but you can always add your own more supportive insole.

Sturdy, thick sole: 

If your forefoot is plagued with hallux rigidus (stiff big toe), a thick, rigid sole is recommended to protect the tender big toe joint. This feature also helps other foot conditions like plantar fasciitis that are worsened by an over-flexible sole.

Affordable!

For under $70, you get a well-made leather, suede, or mesh walking shoe with a good fit that comes in a variety of colors.

Find the Easy Spirit Romy in sizes 5-12, four widths for $39-75 from EasySpirit.com, Zappos, and Amazon.

    I want to get the black shoes that is shown from the first picture. I have found the shoe but it’s under a different name. The all black shoe is called Easy Spirit Punter, not the Romy. Where did you get the all black shoe from the first picture?
