Arche

Delightful shoe. Your feet sigh when you put them on. So soft, flexible and comfortable. The styling is not trendy, but I work on concrete and these shoes are great for that.

I own the two other colors, but returned the Havane color because it is a muddy brown, not reddish as it appeared on my computer and iPad.

These shoes are so stylish and comfortable, that I splurged and bought all three colors to bring for a vacation in France. However, I did return the Havane color because it is not red, or anywhere near reddish - it is a muddy brown color. I wear a size 41, but cut, height, and strap number and placement somehow make my feet look quite compact. They are extremely comfortable for walking, even for a veteran of bunion surgery with flat feet. I rarely pay anywhere near this much for a pair of shoes, but at my age I prefer to have a few comfortable, stylish, and well-made shoes than a wardrobe of shoes that have time limits either how long I can stand them in one wearing or how long they will look stylish.

Love, love, love this shoe. Added a black no-show arch support from target, total comfort for an 8 hour day on my feet, while being really fashionable to boot (no pun intended). Couldn't be happier, worth every penny, getting it in gringo color too.

I love these shoes. I am a big Arche fan but these are deliciously comfortable. I would not wear them to pound the streets of New York City on a regular basis, but as a simple, cool shoe to wear with casual or dressy clothes they are perfect. I never want to take them off.

I love Arche shoes! This Excell comfort and support is great and love the look!

I have many pairs of Arches shoes in various styles. Unfortunately these didn't have enough arch support for me.

I ordered this shoe yesterday and it arrived today. What great service! I wear an 8 and ordered the 8 because it does not come in half sizes. I was afraid the 9 would be too long. The 8 fits like a glove - literally. At first I thought they may be a little short, but after trying them out tonight, I think they are going to be perfect for my trip to NYC in two weeks. You would not want your glove fingers to be too long and this shoe fits like one. It is so comfortable. If your big toe is a lot longer than all your others, then order the size up.

These are incredibly comfortable. Expensive yes, but I ordered and kept them because I wear them every day.

I wanted to like these -- the nubuck is lusciously soft, and the natural rubber soles are incredible comfortable -- but the way the straps are designed, I found that some of my toes got stuck uncomfortably between them! Alas, I had to send these back. I'm generally a big fan of Arche, however, so I won't give up!

These are super comfortable. Th leather on these shoes is so soft there is no rubbing anywhere. The latex soles absorb shock and they even have some power. I just spent five days walking in New York City and the other three pairs of shoes I brought all failed me. I will look for more Arche shoes in the future.

I am a mature woman who is still working full time and on my feet all day. I also love to travel. These shoes are extremely comfortable whether I am at work or getting lost in some fabulous European city. They have a neat, classic look. I have owned them for over a year and have walked many miles in them both indoors and out. They provide perfectly adequate support. I have not had any blisters, foot pain or leg pain. They wear well with significant abuse. I am about to order a third pair (different colors). Thank you, Zappos, for the best online shopping.

This is my first pair of Arche shoes, so my review is really a first impression. The fit is true, but there is little arch support compared to other French shoes, such as Mephistos. Even so, I like these shoes very much, and they are quite comfortable right out of the box on first wearing. I recommend them if good arch support is not necessary. As always, delivery was quick. Thank you, Zappos.

Arche brand is the most comfortable shoe I've worn in years. They are worth the cost. I've got just about every color in this style they make.

I wish I could wear these all the time -- well, I practically do. I have foot problems (bunions and poor arches), and a teaching job that involves standing and walking all day long. The Arche Laius are soft and flexible, and so comfortable! Their classic ballet style goes with everything from jeans to evening clothes. There's no question that they are expensive, but absolutely worth the price. In the long run, they have proved to be a much better buy than the many pairs of cheaper and less well-made shoes that end up sitting in my closet.

This is a nice, simple little ballet, but I wish the soles would have been more substantive. They are fairly thin. I didn't think I would be able to walk in them for a good part of the day, so I am returning them. Many have commented that the shoe runs small; I normally wear a size 7 or 7-1/2 and went with my normal size, 38. It was a little snug, but jumping up to size 39 might not have worked. This shoe would be more successful if it came in half sizes, as ballets are sometimes hard to fit anyway. For a shoe of this price range, you'd think Arche would care enough about fit to offer half sizes.

Nice shoe but not narrow enough for those of us with narrow feet.

Very comfortable, simple boot. Just supple leather that conforms to your foot and a lightweight sole.

Nice quality shoes but the fit is off. No choice but to return them. They are quite narrow across the toes but normal width on the heel.

Wearing these shoes is like walking on pillows! So comfortable.
