Extremely comfortable shoe from the first wearing. It\'s great to have a shoe that prevents your feet and legs from that tired feeling. Good for walking.

I recently purchased a pair of Finn Comfort Shoes and I had wonderful service from Zappos and I love the shoes. Very comfortable and I loved the purple color. Ordering shoes is scary, but these fit and were just what I wanted.

I have a few pairs of Finn Comfort and find Catalina Soft to fit very well. They are lighter than some of the other styles. I use this style at home as bedroom slippers. They have the support that I need and can be adjusted to accommodate socks or swelling of the feet. Attractive enough to wear outside.
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: These are the best. I intend to try a closed Finn Comfort for winter.Paul Green is also comfortable and fits well.

My shoes of choice because of a foot problem are Finn Comforts. This particular style is perfect for the semi-tropical areas in which I live, plus they are dressier enough for special occasions. You cannot ask for a more comfortable shoe than Finn Comforts. Give them a try!

Great shoe from Finn Comfort. Not as heavy and "granola" looking as so many Finns, but wonderful footbed support. I got the Schoko, which is a sort of soft metallic that I find very neutral. This is not a shiny shoe like a patent leather but has more of a sheen rather than a shine. Expensive, but wonderful comfort. Wasn't sure about keeping them at first. At this price point I expect to be "wowed." But the more I wore these the better I liked them. The little rhinestone is a nice little accent!

I tried a 37 and a 38. My true size is 7 and the 37 is a true 6 1/2 and the 38 is a true 7 1/2. I chose the larger as it was more comfortable if a little big. The arch support is wonderful. The patent is very pretty. Can be worn dressy or casual. Seems very well made.

This sandal is great for the first few hours, then it begins to loosen on my feet. Tightening the straps causes them to cut into the sides of my foot, so I'm disappointed they aren't comfortable for long periods of time. I also have the Sylt, which has very stiff leather straps and is very uncomfortable on the top of my foot, so I was excited about the Catalina when I received it from Zappos. Reviews were great. The footbed is wonderful, but the straps of this sandal are just not quite right for my foot. Service from Zappos, as always, is fantastic!

Finn Comfort is a great shoe. These are my 4th pair. They are cute - just like the picture. The arch is great and just the support I need.

Excellent shoe! Soft leather, comfortable footbed, adjustable straps, and great arch support. It is also very attractive and looks good with skirts and pants. I have awful plantar fasciitis and I am CONSTANTLY searching for shoes that relieve the pain. So far, these are the best. I want to praise Zappos, not only for their incredible service and delivery speed, but for supporting me during my search for comfortable shoes. I have bought MANY shoes and returned MANY shoes without a problem. Zappos is my first choice for shoes!

I love these shoes! They are extremely comfortable, and cute: I've got the ones with pink flowers. I would highly recommend them to everybody! I just had an ankle surgery and can't stress enough how wonderful it feels walking in them. I am wearing them in my house as well!

WOW! I received my Finn "Catalina" black patents today. Amazing, soooo cute! I’ve been wearing "Ortho" type shoes for about 10 yrs now. It can be difficult to find cute ones. This Catalina style will NOT let you down. I have plantar fasciitis and had a heel spur surgery. I wore them to my friend’s house tonight and she went bonkers! I told her about Zappos having free shipping both ways, and she was sold. This style is as comfortable as my old worn out Finns. Over the years I have gotten used to the price of "Ortho" type shoes, and the Finns last so long, it’s worth it! Thanks Zappos, I’ll be buying here again!

Perfection!!! I love all three Finn Comfort shoes I have tried, but these are by far the cutest. It is quite hard to find supportive shoes that are cute, but the patent red and patent black Catalina are adorable. They feel wonderful as well. Finns are expensive, but they are well worth the price. They hold up exceptionally well and you can always buy a new footbed once yours has worn out. This offers great arch and metatarsal support, plus you can order it in wide widths! I usually wear an 8.5 and the 39 wide fits me perfectly. I believe these could possible fit an orthotic as well. If you remove the footbed, you have about a centimeter of depth to work with. If you're wary about the price, just give them a try! You can't go wrong with Zappos' free shipping and free return!

I just love Finn Comfort sandals. They are much more expensive than I would ordinarily spend, but you just can't beat the comfort. I have three pairs now (each a different design). I have some that aren't necessarily graceful ... but I wear them every day. I just bought Catalina-Soft in purple (my favorite color) and they felt wonderful out of the box.

Love them - I bought two pairs of Finn Comfort shoes. These and the Sanaa. The patent is dressier. They are really stylish, not clunky, and definitely flattering on my 60 year old foot. They hide bumps but are not heavy looking. I loved them as soon as I took them out of the box and tried them on with crinkly black cropped pants. Extremely comfortable. Worth the price. I wear size 9 or 9.5 (sometimes) and the size 40 fit perfectly.

These sandals are FABULOUS!! Once they arrived, I put them on, and haven't taken them off. I can hardly wait until it's warm enough to wear them outside! I also own the Finn Comfort Faro sandal which is great, but I think the Catalina sandal is more dressy and stylish, and just as comfortable. I love the little rhinestones on the straps! The sandal widths are adjustable which I need with my wide feet. I never spend this much on shoes, but for traveling and walking, these are definitely worth it.
