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!

Great looks, true to size, nice styling - this shoe has it all. Shoes this wide (5E) are hard to find!

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.

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.

I found the service by Florsheim and Zappos were better than going to a retail store. I could not believe that the shoes were actually delivered the next day. Shoe quality and comfort was great. I would highly recommend them.

Florsheim Riva -
Overall, it is a good and comfortable shoe, but the main reason why I bought it was because I couldn't find my favorite shoe. That shoe was the Bass Weejuns penny loafer.
The salesperson was VERY helpful and connected me to a rival company to help me find the penny loafer. I have been a customer for about eight to ten pairs of worn out Weejuns by now, and my goal is to never set foot in another shoe store again. I can't imagine that anyone will actually read this, though.

 |  | In early April, at age 59, I started a new career as Director of Communications for a Military School. It was sudden - not time to even shop. The hours are long and my feet hurt. Thank goodness for your 24 hour service. I picked out some Earth shoes and called at "o dark o'clock" before work. The lady on the other end of the phone said, "My you are really up early." It was somewhere between 5 and 6 am, I expect, although some mornings find me up before that. I explained about the new job and the aching feet and that if I was going to get anything done like placing an order, it would have to be early in the morning because by 5 or 6 pm, I no longer had enough brain cells to call it in. She asked about the job and I suppose my excitement went through the line. To make a long story short, I am still at work. The hours will always be long, but I love it. I still am on my feet a lot, running to take photos of the corps, getting the magazine ready, all the 10,000 things which make up my job. God has been good to me because I don't have time to think about my son, who is 18 and graduating this week; no time for mom to get emotional, always a good thing! The joy must shine through my voice because I received, from your staff, the nicest card of congratulations at my new position! They used colored dots for balloons and everyone signed it. What a great card! What a great thing for them to do. I have been telling the people at school that when our cadets get promoted or they win Gold Eagles for their grades (nothing less than A-), they should be given much applause! To have someone turn it around and congratulate me is a great thing. I have been a stay at home mom a long time and this... this is validation in ways I can't even describe. I am joyful! They took note of it and said it mattered that someone was so lucky. I appreciate that more than you know. When I ordered shoes today, I asked the young man how could I thank you. You should applaud them; they do your business and you proud. Thank them for me, please. The world is such a mean place - it really needs more of this. Thank you for providing a work place for people to do more than take orders, fill orders, and bill people. This is a tribute to you. I haven't had much time off because on weekends we are having Open House, but this 3 day weekend provides me time to sleep and I made time to tell you of my experience. They did a great thing.
