An outstanding dress alternative - This shoe is one of the most versatile on the market. It can be dressed up or down. Comfort is exceptional, when I purchased them I also tried a pair of Mephisto's that were in the same price category, while the Mephisto's were no slouch, this shoe provided the comfort and the "cool" styling I was seeking. The leather is very soft and the support is outstanding. Several years ago I tore the Achilles tendon on my foot, it went untreated (which is unheard of) and healed on its own after about 2 years, however the injury caused my right ankle to be permanently swollen, it bruises easily and causes me severe pain. In addition, I've had a knee scoped due to a sports injury, and in certain conditions this old injury flares up as well. This shoe is one of the few that gives me real comfort from these injuries. The most important feature is the fact that the rear of the shoe isn't to high where it can rub against my heel, in addition my feet don't strike the pavement as heavily wearing them. I have the brown pair. Actually, it's hard describe the hue of brown in the shoe; it's not to dark nor to light. Thus far I haven't had to polish them (simply wipe them down with a soft cloth) however, when I do polish them, I'll most likely use a neutral instead of one of the multiple colors of brown. Believe me, I've worn some great shoes, but this particular model has become my favorite!

I prefer Italian shoes but from a support and comfort perspective, they don't love me back. The Finn is clunkier, given the broader forefoot section, and will never be confused for a Magli. Where Magli beauty ends, however, is where the Finn begins – day long comfort. The correlating US size is half to full size larger than normal and roomier from the front of the heel forward...plenty of wiggle room. The heel transitions to the sole with an odd ramp configuration that I see no practical purpose for; it's both strange looking and more likely to cause skidding as the textured heel and sole wear. A traditional stepped heel-sole configuration is more practical. Pretty good grade of leather; wears well and develops soft wrinkles rather than hard ridges that stiffer shoes do. Like Old Yeller, these shoes love you back.

Beautiful shoes and excellent Zappos service. I ordered this Saturday and Monday it was at my doorstep. This shoe does not fit as good as the other Finn Comfort shoes. But definitely far more comfortable than any other dress shoe. And yes I have tried several from Mephisto, WBTs, Ecco, Prada, Tods...yes I have tried a lot of shoes...none are as comfortable as the Finns...
Brands I'd also recommend: Mephisto, Ecco, WBT, Earth, Prada, TODs, and other smaller brands.

Wow, is this a comfortable shoe. The arch is very high in the midfoot area but it forces your weight off of the heel and ball of foot making for extremely comfortable shoes when walking around. Highly recommended! They do run true to size and almost a bit snug so do not order small on these.

I am a professor who travels a lot, and I have long looked for shoes that would allow me to walk all day in comfort but still look dressy enough for lectures and meetings. These may finally be the solution. Good support, and meticulous craftsmanship, for instance, the lovely cupped heel, and the anatomic footbed. My foot runs a bit wide, and these fit perfectly, with plenty of toe room. Very expensive, but in this case, well worth it for superior quality.

Great pair of shoes, bought again a few months later when I saw on sale. I have very sensitive feet with a bad case of Plantar Fasciitis. Had special inserts built that made my feet hurt. These felt awkward at first but then after a few days they feel like a glove. They put the pressure where it belongs.

This is a comfortable shoe, but not much more than less expensive shoes. Therefore, I am not convinced it is worth the price. Overall rating is a three based on the price alone compared to comfort and overall value

The shoes are a good bit darker brown than shown in the photo. I like the overall style very much, but downgraded that due to the metal logo, which I find annoying and tacky. It cannot be removed without destroying the lining and leaving a hole in the outside.

Love these shoes! Great with casual dress or even suits. Since I recently had foot surgery I bought these planning to use a modified Superfeet insole but found the Finn Comfort insole even better. Its shape is a little odd with an extra bump in the middle behind the ball of the foot. The first day I worn them I brought an extra pair of shoes to work just in case, but by the end of the day my nagging foot pain was gone. Not cheap, but very well made with high quality materials. I will definitely buy these again!
