Eastland

The Eastland Newport is among my favorite shoes. I'm into my forth pair. Be certain to have the proper fit, both length and width, as they can feel tight in the upper if you don't get it right.

Wow! Not only are these shoes stylish but comfortable too! Since they are leather they were a little fitted when I first put them on because they are leather but I just walked around the house in them to help break them in. Loved them so much I bought both the brown and black pairs. Love them!

Sadly I had to return them, for they were just the style that I was looking for. Didn't have a way that I could change the feel of the true size. The width was good and the support; didn't get to wear them enough to really be able tell in that area. My problem with these were the toe area was to long and the foot bed was too short. I didn't know what else to do as far as trying a different size so I just returned them. They were just not compatible with my foot.

They are good shoes but it took me a long time to get used to. My foot is a bit too wider for the size I ordered and I need to get them fitted more. I love the style tho and the heels are great for a short person like me.

These shoes have a great, casual, yet professional look, which is exactly what I was looking for. They are a little on the narrow side for a wide width shoe (I purchased a 9 Wide), but after breaking in, they are okay. The soles are plasticy - which is what brings my rating from 5 stars to 4. I just wish they were more of a lug sole. But they are extremely lightweight for a sturdy shoe like this. The only other negative is that they seem to make my feet stink! They must not allow much air flow, which causes them to sweat - which is not a problem I've had before, so I know it's the shoes.

Bought these for my husband. They ran true to size and were neither narrow or wide. He wears them more or less every day in New York City and they hold up great. Now that it's warming up outside, he's ready to put them in the closet for the season. They aren't lightweight, but are heavier like Docs. All in all, a good-looking and comfortable shoe, he says.

Very cute boat shoe, but flipped right off my heel. I tend to fall between two sizes and I ordered on the low end, as well. I'd get the next size down but they've sold out of the color I wanted, too bad!

I completely disagree about these looking like "old lady shoes." They bear no resemblance to old lady shoes at all (and yes, I know what old lady shoes look like). In fact, the Ginas are more feminine that most of the Eastland line. Now, perhaps it's because I wear them only with slacks and not with skirts or shorts, but I think they look streamlined and great! If you are looking for a sexy pump, then no, these are not the shoes for you.... But for professional, comfortable, smart-looking shoes, these are a great buy. I have had no problems with them leaking, either. I haven't worn them for wading through streams, but in a downpour they do just fine. These are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever put my feet in. Nice cushioning and support, no hot spots or rub spots. I could wear them for a week straight! This is what customer reviews are for - to give varying perspectives based on experience. I have two pair of Ginas and I love them in both colors. Highly recommended.

The Eastland Stonington's are a very comfortable and stylish shoe. They run true to size so there's no need to get a half size bigger. I have wide feet and they fit well. In fact, you do need to wear thick socks. I definitely recommend them. I wear them to work often.

FYI, there seems to be a quality problem with the elastic that attaches the leather strap to the sole of the shoe. When I got the first pair from Zappos the elastic was ripped. I returned that pair and Zappos was out of stock so I had to order from another site. The second pair had the same problem! I am going to take them to an alterations place to see if they can repair the elastic. Other than that issue, they seem to be good sandals if you want something sturdy but also youthful and cute.

I like the style of these and they're just right for everyday casual sandals. And they come in Wide, which is so hard to find in cute shoes. They took a while to break in - they were quite stiff and uncomfortable right out of the box, but I decided to try to make them work since I couldn't find anything else I liked that comes in wide. I took a chance and decided to go through the discomfort of getting the stiffness out by stretching them with my hands and just wearing them anyway, and I'm glad I did. Now they're much more comfortable, and I'm hopeful that they'll get more so as I continue to wear them. I imagine that most people wouldn't be desperate enough to deal with the initial discomfort like I was, so I'm only giving two stars for comfort. In my opinion, even shoes that require some breaking in should be comfortable out of the box, and these definitely aren't.

I had a pair of Eastland Newports for close to a decade if not longer. Wore them almost every single day for several years. Unfortunately the bottom split from the top about 2 months ago. I actually teared a little. Now I can't find them anymore and I'm very disappointed. My right foot has problems and these were one of the few shoes I could wear with anything and my foot not hurt.

Ordered usual size/medium width. Shoe looks great. Length fine, but outside of toebox seems "contoured" & would likely rub. Biggest problem is mid-shoe. The sides are very wide, very soft, and almost padded - more like a moccasin-slipper than a boat shoe. Will stick with topsiders. Returning this item.

I got these for my mom, and she loves them. She has extra wide feet, and the wide width fit exactly right. They are cute with capris, which is her default summer style, and she gets lots of compliments on them.

I loved the shoes but I normally wear a 9.5M or wide. I ordered the 10wide and the 9.5 wide and they were both too wide and both too long. Not sure what to order now but think a medium might be better. The wide is really too wide.

I bought four pair of these when they went on sale for work, all the soles have split where your foot bends in every single pair. They are not waterproof either.

Bought these in brown and black. I have had a pair of Eastland loafers for close to 10 years prior to this purchase. I love the style and although they felt tight at first (I have wide feet) they broke in within the first wearing. I wore the black the most and just after about 4 months I noticed that the upper started to come apart from the sole on the inside right where my foot bends. Just a couple of weeks ago I was wearing the brown pair and we had a huge storm come through right when I had to walk from my building to my car after work. Now I realize that leather is not waterproof, but not a minute after walking in the rain I noticed that the BOTTOM of my feet were feeling wet! This was a heavy downpour but I was under an umbrella and although there was a lot of water on the ground it was not standing water. By the time I got to my car the tops of the shoes were wet as well, but my socks were soaked - completely. I have been in the rain many times before in my other Eastland loafers and didn't have this problem. It makes me wonder about the integrity of the stitching of the upper part of the shoe to the sole. With the black pair coming apart at a stress point and then the amount of water that ended up inside my shoe from a rainstorm - my initial love for these shoes has quickly faded.

I love these boots! They have a soft footbed, and lots of support. I wear a size 11 and the comments I keep getting are how small they make my feet look.

Love these shoes so much I bought another pair in brown. I spend a lot of time on my feet and the comfort held all day. Great for dressing up a pair of jeans without compromising comfort.

Lovely shoe. Even with a wide, the toe area was narrow. Seams were rough on the side of my big toe. They are being returned.
