Croc Loafers - The shoes were comfortable right out of the box and I love the patent croc. They seem to run a half size larger so I ordered a smaller size and that was perfect. Am planning to use them as my walking shoes in Italy since the rubber sole should be good for the cobblestone streets and style-wise they work with jeans as well as casual evening outfits.

Nice, but not enough form - I loved these shoes when I first got them. They looked great and felt comfortable. The problem is, after being worn twice, they lost the form and looked and felt like they've been worn for two years.

Rockin’ Crocs! I just opened the box, put them on, and my 13 year old said, "Mom those are some cool shoes." With the fact that they do look great, fit wonderfully, and feel terrific on my feet, I will definitely keep them. Hey, if you can make my feet and my 13 year old happy, that is one great shoe!

Wonderful! I ordered these on Saturday and received them on Monday midday - that was WOW moment #1. Then I opened the box and saw the shoes - WOW moment #2. This is a very classic shoe style, great glossy finish and extremely comfortable. The vamp goes up a bit higher than I am used to, but I think it's more comfortable that way. I could wear these with jeans (original purchase reason) or with dressier pants, possibly even a business suit (co-workers idea). I'm ready to buy a second pair to hang onto, just hope they get my size in again.

Comfort with Polish - These shoes are a very comfortable everyday shoe. I wear them to the office with pant suits and they look very professional. I plan on wearing them with casual weekend clothes as well.

Ara - It's a very comfortable shoe. It looks great with jeans and with dressier slacks. I have gotten many compliments. I did have to take a half size smaller. I find all Ara shoes to run a half size larger than needed.

Great shoe…I am generally not inclined to spend this much on a shoe...but when it is this comfortable, wears well and looks so good, it is well worth the price.

Ara Portland - I ordered this shoe 1/2 size smaller and it fit perfectly. I love the metallic croc look. It gives it style and it looks great with jeans. Very comfortable and no "breaking in."

Brown Croco - I just received these shoes...very very comfortable. However, they are much more "metallic" in person....I was a bit taken back by the shine factor here...which doesn't show in the picture. The comfort outweighs the bling.....I did follow the recommendations of others on this shoe and went 1/2 size smaller and still have plenty of room.

Great comfort shoe - A great comfort shoe without the typical bulky, clompy, casual look. I'm very happy with this shoe. It's very comfortable and perfect to wear to work with slacks, especially if you're on your feet a lot, standing or walking. No breaking in needed at all.

Casual but snappy enough for the office - Ara shoes all seem to run large—I usually wear an 8 and found the 7 1/2 very generous. This one's incredibly comfortable and fun to wear. Plus waterproof, which is a bonanza in New England winters. It's my first choice shoe this season.

Great Shoe - The shoe is very nice looking. I bought it in the Burgundy and the Black. For some strange reason the Burgundy is a bit more comfortable. Perhaps the Black leather is stiffer. On the whole, these shoes are great and go everywhere. I would definitely continue to buy this shoe especially if they made it in other colors as well.
