    Very comfortable shoe. Soft, supple leather. Narrow at the top, which provides support and wider inside providing comfort. Sole is soft and flat, so you feel each step. Takes a bit of getting used to if you wear sneakers or dress shoes most of the time. Excellent shoe though!

    This is an excellent shoe, fits well, and comfortable. I received compliments each time I wore them out. They are very versatile and look good with jeans as well as chinos.

    This was a great shoe while it lasted. However, after 4 months, the sole separated from the upper, it is simply glued on. I got it resoled thinking that it was worth the cost, since the shoe was pretty expensive. However, after another 3 months, holes gradually opened in the toe box in the inside of the upper - that is when I threw them away. For the price, I think the quality is pretty poor. However, while they lasted they were quite comfortable.

    These shoes are great. If you know anything about Varvatos shoes, they are made of excellent leathers and are well-constructed. A bit pricey, but well worth the investment. These Chukka\'s run about a half-size larger as all John Varvatos shoes do. They look great with dark jeans and chinos. A must have!

    Great shoes, BUT Be aware that this is a chukka and it will loosen up a bit after some wear ... As long as you\'re OK with comfy\/slightly loose fit, you\'ll like this shoe. \r\n\r\nIt looks even better after some wear.

    I have strangely shaped feet, and they are slightly different sizes (one is a true 11, the other slightly larger) so I ordered these stylish suede chukkas in hopes they would stretch a bit and conform to my feet. I have worn them for three days, and can say that while they look good, they have not yet begun to stretch in the way I had hoped. In fact I developed a blister on one heel. They do go well with dark jeans and khakis, and I'm going to give them a few more tries, hoping they will break in a little more. They are almost twice as expensive as most other chukkas and I'd hate to just stop wearing them.

    Great looking and very comfortable and works well with an orthotic (not much arch support but very comfortable otherwise - I use orthotics in all my shoes and sneakers). The black suede fit slightly smaller than the brown suede (very strange) so I needed half a size larger in the black than the brown.

    Great looking shoe. Fits true in the heel and a bit wide in the toe box, but looks fantastic with jeans/casual pants. I wear mine all the time. I walk around in these quite a bit and I'm not sure they're built for comfort, so I use thin insoles which seem to work well.

    I've owned these for a while in black and love them. I wear them daily with jeans or khakis. Size is half size larger, I own a pair in 11.5. In running shoes (New Balance) I wear an eleven, width: EE, shoe last: SL2. My feet are fairly wide. I was nearly put off by the D width but they fit great. So I find them wider than advertised. Alot of aesthetics with the sole stitching and the sole itself. People ask about them often and I get compliments all the time.

    The shoes look great, but are very difficult to put on (of course they break in so it gets easier). There is also very little arch support. Excellent fit; true to size.

    Great comfortable shoes. I was a bit hesitant because of the price tag, but I believe they are worth every penny. Very stylish with a pair of jeans as well as a nice pair of slacks. As other reviews state, they run a half size larger than stated and a tad wider.

    My third JV pair. As with the others, this didn't disappoint. Their sizing is weird. 9 on this shoe is perfect but I have an 8 on their Schooner boat shoe. Took a while to get used to the curved sole. Leather is great. You have to try it on. Go to a Nordstrom but buy from Zappos.

    These are the best pair of shoes that I have ever worn. They required no breaking in at all. They have been comfortable since I first put them on. I highly recommend these fantastic shoes. Although the sizing is weird, I normally wear a 10½ in most shoes but I had to go a full size down on these bad boys.
