Great Shoe -
It is a very comfortable shoe. I am hard to fit; my shoe size is 6.5 EEE. This shoe fits, is comfortable and the price was good.

Zappos, you're the greatest!
Shoe-shopping has ALWAYS been a dreaded experience for me. I have big, wide feet. Stores never carry my true size, and I always end up with something that almost fits but pinches my toes or is too narrow. Twenty years or so ago, I had a pair of Thom McMann shoes that were an exact knockoff of these Rivas. They were too small for my feet but were still the most comfortable shoes I had ever worn. I actually had them resoled when the low-lifespan rubber soles characteristic of these shoes wore out. When the uppers finally started to come apart, I had to search for the real thing, and I found it at Zappos - and for the first time in my adult life I have shoes that actually fit my feet! I bought the burgundy first, and just recently added a pair of the black ones. I plan to order a pair of brown ones next. Just like everyone says, these shoes are the ultimate in comfort. Wearing these with a suit almost makes you feel like you're cheating -- but they are as classy in appearance as any other dress shoe! One final note: Zappos, I have ordered from you several times now. The shoes always arrive much faster than anyone could expect, and when I have had to exchange something, your service was hassle-free. I heard about your company from a Sears shoe department salesman who buys all his shoes from you. Please stay in business forever and keep doing business the way you do!

Nice shoe, but...
This is a nice looking shoe and fits reasonably well, but it doesn't hold my heel well and it feels as though I will step out of it.

Best Ever Service -
Not only do I love these shoes, but my experience with your service personnel was the best I have ever experienced. This was my second time to purchase from Zappos. It will not be the last. Thank you for a great experience!

For my dad...
I bought this shoe for my father. It is his preferred style in a shoe, but not mine. That is why I gave them a 3 star rating. He said that they were very comfortable. He is extremely happy with them.
This was my first time buying from Zappos. They have great customer service. An overall excellent purchasing experience!!

Soft as a moccasin -
Softest leather I have seen in anything short of a slipper or moccasin. They look great, wish they had the wider sizes, the 3E is a marginal fit for me but it's OK (wear a 6E when I can find it).
These are NOT walking shoes, soles are very thin and you can feel the slightest underfoot irregularity similar to a moccasin or slipper. Great at home, the mall or dining but not for use off finished surfaces.
Don't misread this, I really like the shoes and recommend them for casual or dress occasions.

My husband loves these shoes! He has a wide foot and since they come in Wide widths his feet are happy. Very soft leather, which he also loves.

These shoes are great! My dog chewed my first ones and I was insistent on having another pair so I had to wait for them to get them in stock. I'm so happy and relieved that they finally had them in stock! Zappos is like family always looking out for their customers! I will never shop any where else! Thanks Zappos for being AWESOME!

Comfy Shoe!
I ordered them for my husband and he claims they are as comfortable as his house shoes/slippers. He loves them and said they are true to size.

I wear these shoes over all my others--- I have searched a long time for such a perfect comfortable set of shoes that can be worn both dress--and casual. I am buying a back up set for the future --in case they run out of my size.

Well Worth It -
This shoe was extremely comfortable the moment I put it on. It is flexible yet provides excellent arch support and can be worn either in a casual or business setting, making it all the more practical and useful.
Well worth the price.

Outstanding Dress Shoe - I'm 41 Years Old...
I note that I'm 41 as I take pride in buying quality shoes and have been wearing the Florsheim Riva shoe with a suit & tie for 10 years. I had worried it was an "Old Mans" shoe but nothing can be further from the truth. I can tell you, it's the ONLY dress shoe I'll ever wear. Quality holds a nice shine and THE most comfortable dress shoe ever made bar NONE! Forget dress, the most comfortable shoe period. Light as a feather, NO break in needed, feel like a pair of broken in slippers, not kidding at all. Accommodates orthotics just fine. Look great with a suit and honestly for both young & old. ***Zappos - tell Florsheim never to change or discontinue this shoe and why dont they make far more with this same comfort & leather? Zappos, as always, had the shoe at my door in 20 hours. Awesome.

Review of Florsheim Riva Shoe -
I would rate this shoe with a 5 overall, 5 for comfort, and 5 for looks. I have very wide feet and have a problem getting comfortable shoes. I just returned from a 10-day cruise where I wore these shoes every night. They were some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

My husband loves these shoes!
My husband has been wearing these shoes for several years and loves them - they can be dressy or casual. They're comfortable for him especially after he broke his foot a few years ago. Highly recommend.

Fit like a glove -
I have never owned a pair of loafers as comfortable as these. They have the broken in feel the minute I slipped them on. Big men have no use for leather soles and heels so the rubber composite lower assembly is a real plus also.

Very comfortable shoe. The wine color is a little lighter than I expected, making it a more casual than dress shoe.

Soft and comfortable -
I was looking for comfortable shoe that was dressy, but not too stiff looking. The only problem I had with this shoe is I needed a width of 4E and it only came in 3E and 5E. The great thing about Zappos is the free shipping both ways. I ordered one of each. The 3E was a little snug - the 5E a little too loose.. I chose the 5E and put a heal pad. Haven't worn them much yet as haven't had much need. But needed them for some upcoming cruises.

Excellent shoe -
This shoe is a comfortable shoe for being so soft and fitting to size. It has a very soft cushion as you can have them on all day and not get tired feet.

 |  | The product was as advertised and of high quality, but what impressed me the most was the customer service. I order one day with regular shipping and these shoes were delivered the following morning at no additional charge to me. Customer service like this does not exist today, except at Zappos. |  | ~ Tuck , August 20 2008
