Liesl Stretch Leather Skimmer: Polished + Flexible
Need something that feels comfortable but still works with your professional wardrobe? Meet the Liesl Stretch Leather Skimmer. The updated design features buttery-soft premium leather, a flexible stretch lining and Stegmann’s signature wide toe box. A removable wool-lined arch support insert adds cushioning underfoot.
It’s already earning high marks from customers. One shared: "
Where have these been all my life?I have been searching for a comfortable, supportive, attractive skimmer-type shoe for over 2 years now. My feet are a smorgasbord of problems, including bunions, mini-bunions, 2nd toe capsulitis, and poor arches. I thought I was doomed to a future of only being able to wear supportive lace-up running shoes. So when I received the Liesl skimmers, and they fit my feet perfectly, immediately out of the box, it felt like a supportive, gentle hug to my feet! The toe box is wide enough and HIGH enough to give my toes plenty of room to spread out in comfort."
The flexible construction also provides extra give, making this a great option when you want a more accommodating dress shoe for the classroom.

I LOVE these shoes so much, I've bought a second pair... It looks beautiful and feels very versatile: I can wear it as a casual shoe but also wear it with dresses and skirts."
