A sophisticated boot for a night on the town or a day with friends...this boot has that extra little edge to separate it from the crowd...
John Varvatos Renwick Side Zip

Overall:
Great boot for dress or casual. Fits much closer to accurate than other Varvatos boots, which I found to fit very wide.

Great looking boot for casual or dress. Problem: boot is massively wide. 13D fits like 13EEE. Sent them back and purchased the Renwick which fits much closer to accurate.

Great looking boot for casual or dress. I bought this boot for work with high end Italian suits. One problem: the boot is massively wide. 13D fit like 13EEE. The Renwick model fit much closer to accurate.

John Varvatos Copper Side Gore

Reviewer: from Chicago, Illinois
Overall: 
Good looking shoes but not that well built. One would expect durability after spending this much on this pair of boots. The boots look really great and very comfortable to wear for long hours. However, the soles are not well built. It starts falling off after around 2 weeks of wearing. I had to apply super glue just to make my money's worth (plus I love the look and comfort).

These boots were true to size. I am an 11 and that\'s what they are. They are incredibly comfortable. Ne need for any break in period and look great with jeans or dressing up. My main shoe to wear out any night!
John Varvatos Side Zip Boot
Posted: Oct 15, 2009 11:09:17 AM
Reviewer: Anonymous from Pennsylvania
Overall: 
I have yet to wear this boot and one of the side zippers has already broken. This is slightly disappointing because (1) they cost so much, (2) Zappos no longer has my size (what can I say, it's a good looking boot), and (3) John Varvatos' official store will not exchange. Zappos has offered a full refund, but this does not remove my true disappointment with a "quality" designer such as John Varvatos. If you want to take the risk, the shoe is soft, comfortable, and sturdy. It fits relatively true to size, but be prepared for some extra room upfront with the slightly elongated toe.

Top quality, amazing style - Very nice pair of shoes by John Varvatos. Quality and finishing are fantastic. I love the vintage look of the leather. It's all about the details and nuances: the leather has a subtle aged look, the design is sleek and classic, can work both with a suit or with jeans, the color is dark brown, but not your standard brown, a matte brown with shades of black (espresso)...These shoes quickly feel very special and personal.

John Varvatos Ago Zip Boot
Posted: Jan 9, 2009 8:27:03 AM
Reviewer: from
Overall:
The Ago zip boot is a great looking boot from John Varvatos. My only reservation is that if it fits your foot it’s a great boot, but they are hard to fit well. The materials are very fine leather and extremely well constructed. The negatives are that the last is slightly narrower than most boots and there is virtually no shape to the insole, so perfect fit of the upper part of the boot is essential to a comfortable boot. I have one pair of the smooth leather boot that fits perfectly in a size 11 1/2. I could use a little more room to add an extra insole, but the room is not there. I tried the 12 in the rough out boot, which I like the look of better, and it is too small - in a size 12! Go figure. What is great about Zappos is you get to try the size and if it doesn't fit, you can return it easily.

Great, stylish shoe. Not the most comfortable although I've only worn it a few times and it needs time to break in.
John Varvatos Essex Thong

Reviewer: from New York City
Overall:
NOT COMFORTABLE - Have a number of JV sandals. For the most part they look good, are comfortable and are priced right. I find this pair extremely uncomfortable. The hard rubber sole is just firm (reminds me of shoes made with recycled rubber tires). Don't even think about wearing them out for an entire day.

Reviewer: Patrick from Minneapolis
Overall:
I love these sandals. I wear them almost all of the time now. They are dressy enough for work (OK, my office is pretty casual). They go with just about everything from shorts to dress pants. They don't offer any cushion, so if you need/want that, these probably aren't for you. However, they stay put on your feet and don't wear thin on one side the way a lot of flip-flops do. These sandals were the only footwear I brought when I visited San Francisco about three weeks ago. I walked for hours in them with no problem, even up the steepest hills.

Reviewer: from Ohio
Overall:
Love everything about the shoes, but the sizing was wrong. Read the review to size up a half size and ordered accordingly. Wore the shoes for a week and the suede stretched out enough, so the shoes now flop on my feet. Only order a half size larger if you plan on wearing socks. Otherwise, order true to size in the suede.
John Varvatos Essex Thong
Posted: Jun 3, 2008 8:53:45 AM
Reviewer: from Lake Arrowhead, CA
Overall:
Good looks, poor performance.These thongs are extremely uncomfortable. They feel like I have wood planks strapped to the bottom of my feet. They look very nice and they go well with most outfits, but the comfort just couldn't get any worse. After walking in these for merely fifteen minutes, the tops of my toes already had blisters forming where the material was rubbing my feet.

John Varvatos Essex Thong

Reviewer: Reggie from Boston
Overall:
If looks are everything - I have been wearing my JV Essex thongs for about 2 weeks - mostly around the house 'cause it's still cold out (I do that to break them in). Though I love the way they look, I must say they are very hard, no cushion at all. I think these are perfect for going out to a casual dinner or maybe even to party on say a yacht, but if you want to walk around St. Bart's for the day in these thongs, your feet might be a tad pissed at you, not to mention your wallet.

Overall:
Sophisticated and Stylish - This shoe is a winner! They look great with both jeans or dress them up with a pair of slacks. Not only do they look sharp, they are surprisingly comfortable because the leather is so soft and fits so well to your feet. I recommend this shoe to any stylish man that wants to be subtle and understated and appreciates the details of a quality product. Order a pair Today!
