I should have heeded the warning about the narrow toe box. I bought a size up, but my left big toe is painfully squashed. Even my daughter, who wears a slightly smaller shoe, complained about a sore toe. Pity, since it looked good. It is going back.

I love these shoes. They have a classic look. They can be worn with a dress or jeans. They are made in France, so be sure you check to get the right size for a good fit.

I have been an Arche fan for years. Arche makes the most comfortable and classic flat shoes on the market. Although they are on the pricey side, they are well-worth it. They seem to last forever. I bought the Sarkis style and they are awesome. Just took them out of the box and started wearing them. No break-in required for me.

This is an elegant-looking suede loafer, but unfortunately, despite the super-soft gummy sole, the entire circumference of the opening of the shoe is elasticized such that it constantly presses into the Achilles heel area. Also, heeding the good advice of many on this site, I found that they do indeed run almost a full size small (I'm usually a European 40 but a 41 in these) and have no arch support whatsoever, despite their gooshy softness. Sadly, they must go back.

I labored long and hard over the decision to buy these shoes at this price. I value comfort and decided to go ahead and give them a try; after all, every girl should have a great pair of plain black skimmers (and not enough shoes come in fabulous nubuck). The shoes are absolutely gorgeous and the quality seems to be impeccable. Unfortunately, mine will be going back to Zappos. I typically wear a 38/39 and I heeded the warnings to buy a size up, so I got a 40. Though the length was fine, the width was simply too narrow to be comfortable. I have an average width foot and typically fit normal width shoes. These shoes go into a point and have a very narrow toe box. I suspect they would only really be comfortable to someone who would be considered a narrow width foot. If you are that guy, these are beautiful shoes (even for such a hefty price).

These are fun shoes with a lot of style, but be forewarned if you have 'big' toes; the toe box is small. I can only wear these for an hour before the shoe starts to press down uncomfortably on my big toe.

I love these shoes! They look a lot better \'in person\' and on your foot than in the photo for some reason. These shoes are very comfortable, cute and flattering. They also feel sturdy as compared to ballet flats. I have worn these with both jeans and dresses and they look great. They might become my \'go to\' shoes for the winter. I like the use of leather and suede together.

If you've never owned a pair of Arche shoes, you're missing the most comfortable shoe that ever embraced your foot. You can walk forever in them and never have a sore spot anywhere on your foot.

Extremely comfortable shoe right out of the box. Sizing runs small; I'm always a size 38 and tried that even though I saw others mention to go larger. I had to send them back for a 39. Good arch support and cushioning on the sole.

This is a great-looking shoe, a beautiful color. Unfortunately, the sizing is a problem. I tried the 41 and found it surprisingly loose in the heel, and then the 40 and it was way too tight across the toe box. I have worn Arche shoes for many years and love them, but getting the right fit can be tricky. Will be returning these with much regret.

Wonderful! I didn't want to spend all this money on a "day" boot, but the look is really what I was looking for so I went for it. Well, it's the most comfortable boot I have ever worn! I will buy it in black, too!

I did not buy these shoes through Zappos, and I'm testy with myself for not doing so as they are less expensive here. But the shoes themselves are great, no hotspots/rubs on my feet. They are solid/comfortable and a subtle red. Not Dorothy-shoes red. I love them.

The Arche Costic is just another example of the workmanship and comfort of the Arche brand. I love the fit of the shoe and walking is more pleasureable because of it. The quality of the materials used in the shoe are the highest. You get what you pay for and this brand is a perfect example of that truth !

The leather and suede is very soft and comfortable. I agree that they are difficult to get on. I was disappointed to find, especially for such an expensive shoe, there were "lumps" in the sole that don't seem to be related to the tread on the shoe. I decided to keep the shoes and hope my feet get used to them. I'll try them for lots of walking next week in NYC.

Euro Chic Shoes. I purchased the red Costic to give a bit of a wow factor to my jeans. The shoes are great for walking...very comfortable. I love Arche for comfort and euro style. The only down factor is that they are difficult to put on without a shoe-horn. Once on, they\'re great. When my college son saw them next to another pair of shoes I purchased, he pointed to the Arche Costics and said, "I love those." I did spray the suede with ScotchGuard to protect it. Thanks Zappos for offering these great shoes.

Loved the shoes! Unfortunately I wear a size 9AA or 8.5M in Cole Haan and I ordered a 39 (too small) and a 40 (too big) as there are no half sizes. Great style, well made, but too expensive to be "doctoring" them up with sole inserts, etc. to make them fit.

I was so glad to see that Arche brought this shoe back. I love these shoes. They are my go to shoe for everything. I live in Texas, so they are perfect as a year round shoe. For me they are the perfect ballet slipper.

These shoes would be perfect if the toe box wasn't so narrow. I have long narrow feet with some slight bunions and my toes are very squished in these shoes. But the quality and cushion seem to great. As usual, 42 is the largest size so I will have to send these back.

The perfect "little black flat" that is stylish and, above all, comfortable. The rubber sole makes this shoe feel as comfy as a slipper, but there's probably not enough support for long distance walks on hard pavement. Zappos continues to make shopping a total pleasure: easy, efficient and fun. Thank you!

Overall:

Bought a pair of Arche Coco shoes from Zappos for a trip to Australia. They are without a doubt the most comfortable and cool-looking shoes I have ever worn. I never want to take them off. They have worked beautifully for hiking and look great with jeans or pants in the evening. The sizing was generous and they seemed to run a little larger than other Arche shoes which I own, but they were perfect with slightly heavier socks. They were delivered promptly and I definitely plan to buy more shoes from Zappos.
