Best shoes ever - Comfort - they fit like a glove. Style - perfect for work and after. Patent leather and suede, it doesn't get more stylish.

Excellent quality. Classic look - would be a bit stayed if not for the patent, crock, leather and thick sole. Great with jeans. Quite comfortable - wore them right out of the box - all day. Good 10.5 fit. In fact, I wear them with a thicker sock and they are even more comfortable.

Ara - There is an unpleasant smell, perhaps it is the glue used inside the shoe. That is the only objection I have. Have the same shoe in brown and beige and they are fine.

These are very good-looking and well-made shoes with a lot of attention paid to details. I liked the style so much, I bought 2 pairs.

I love zappos and sing your praises to everyone. I ordered these about 10pm and they arrived the next day. I like ara because they fit well and have good support. There is one problem that I have encountered --- each pair has a tie that will not stay tied. Two were leather and I had to take them to the cobbler to get sewn down and this pair can be re-tied easier because it is a woven string, but will probably take them for a permanent solution, too.

Beautiful shoes! As lovely in person as in the photo. They are even lovelier on. Fit my feet like gloves, with plenty of cush in the heel. They feel like dancing shoes - snug but very flexible. If your feet run wide, think about ordering greater width. I do tons of walking in my work, but need to look sharp and well dressed. These shoes definitely suit the purpose!

I hate to buy shoes because I'm very hard to fit...narrow heel with a wider front because of a bunion. These shoes are very comfortable and that is why this is my second pair. Considering how expensive they are, the negative is that they don't wear well. I bought my first pair in October (I do where them almost every day) and this is March and the sole and heel are worn. There must be another shoe that is less expensive and comfortable...I'm looking. I gave it 5 stars because it's rated on comfort and style and for that it gets 5 stars. But for quality I'd give it 3 stars.

These shoes and the brown one are the most comfortable and dressy shoes ever. They fit perfectly for my number and medium-wide feet. I did find Ara through these shoes and ended up ordering other styles and other colors, winners all the same. Plus Zappos, which is, like, the best thing ever!

These are very comfortable shoes and look great with slacks and jeans. I had to return the first pair for a half a size larger. I just returned from NYC and wore them all day walking the city. They were great for the first few hours but I was wishing for my athletic shoes by the end of the day.

Love this shoe and brand. The color is not so versatile. I got the Lava Croco leather and was surprised to find that they color is not really the beige-y grey seen on the computer but more of a beige with moss green tint. I love it. It looks great with any of my green or khaki slacks. So comfortable, too. I wear an 8.5 usually and I have these shoes in an EU 6. The toe is a bit more narrow on these shoes so I think that's why the 6 fits better.
