Simply the best....
...the shoes take a few days to break in, but are stylish and become quite comfortable...I have had to replace the first pair I purchased in less than a year because of a "side blow out" where some stitching came undone...but for the money I highly recommend this shoe.

Too small!
This is my fourth pair of Kenneth Cole shoes and they are not sized as labeled. They are at least a half size smaller than the label, which is disappointing especially when ordering shoes online, way too much of a hassle. I'll definitely think twice before ordering another pair of KC shoes.
Other shoes recommended by reviewer: Any other Kenneth Cole shoes I've bought have been fine.

Sad to see a great name like Kenneth Cole on a shoe of this quality, do not be fool by the look because these shoes are not what they LOOK like.

Nice looking. Poor construction.
Great looking shoes. Terrible construction. I agree with every other review on here on the time line to destruction. Wish they didn't fall apart so quickly as they are really stylish looking shoes.

Ripped up my heels -
Within wearing it two minutes walking from my house, they immediately started to dig at both my heels and eventually ripped the skin off. My roommate tried them out the next night and could barley walk after 5 minutes. I ordered my regular size... Don't buy them.

Nice shoe!!
This shoe looks very sharp. It’s not quite as comfortable as I might like but it’s not terrible. Overall a good shoe for the price I'd say.

Fell apart after 2 months of gentle wear -
Love how these shoes look on my husband, but he was very annoyed when the side came unstitched on his way to an important business dinner! He's not hard on shoes, and this has never happened to any other shoe in the 12 years we've been together. Thankfully, Zappos handled the issue rapidly with kudos to their *excellent* customer service reps. A replacement pair arrived quickly. Hoping the replacement pair holds up better than the first...

Stiff, narrow, but great looking. I ordered a half size smaller than normal and there was still room at the toe. These take significant wearing to break. They are good for casual office attire and look great with jeans. The bottoms are loud on hard surfaces. Overall I'm satisfied, mostly with the look, but there have got to be more comfortable shoes out there!

Squeaky -
Not sure why, but these shoes squeak after you wear them part of the day. There is a special comfort system in these shoes that appears to be the issue. Overall, the shoe is comfortable, but the squeaking has to go.

Awesome shoes!
Very attractive, more than comfortable for dress shoes! Built in arch and other padding that makes these feel not so 'dressy'. Liked them so much I bought the brown and black ones!

My poor feet -
I work high volume retail and my feet cannot last through an eight hour shift. They make me want to die. Too bad they look so good.

NARROW!
I regularly buy shoes from the regular Kenneth Cole line, but this is the first time I bought a Reaction shoe, I was shocked at how narrow it was and had to have them stretched.

It takes awhile to break them in when they are brand new. But the extra cushions inside the shoes make them so much more comfortable.

Great Looking shoe - Not very comfortable -
Shoe is extremely narrow. Took me two days to break them in walking around the house with hiking socks on and still not real comfortable. Should have returned them. Did get a few compliments, however.

This shoe looks great but it is a little stiff and takes some time to break in. It's a classic and a keeper. Definitely fits true to size.

Crap -
My job requires that I wear dress shoes, KC Reaction was my previous choice. After 2 months the top seams of the toe opened followed by both shoe laces tearing apart and requiring to be replaced.
I do wear dress shoes quit a bit but this was the most expensive, shortest lasting shoe I've ever owned.

I've only worn these a few times, but they are quite comfortable and look great with my new suit. I haven't had any problems with them hurting my heel or my toe. They fit my foot really well

Looks good in the photos.
I was really prepared for a sharp pair of shoes. But something about the feel of the leather made me think more of plastic than leather: shiny and stiff. My first few wearing also bared that out. I wasn't sure who was going to win in this battle. These shoes or my feet. Finally, the shoes admitted defeat. (Pun intended.) They still squeeze noticeably around the wide part of my feet. Which is an odd sensation for me because I've always had narrow feet! One positive thing I can say is they have a nicely padded sole on the inside. But for the money, I thought I'd get a more comfortable shoe with more refined leather.

Nice Value -
Very nice sophisticated look, the tip is kinda narrow, so it hurts the first time u wear them. Have worn them for 4 days in a row and becoming more and more comfortable. The padding inside is quite thick so no problem with the soles. Very nice semi gloos leather look. Dressy enough for dressy occasions, yet casual enough to wear with jeans. Very good for the value.

Uncomfortable KC Shoes -
Even though they are one of the best looking shoes I have ever worn, they are by far the most uncomfortable. They are very stiff and seem to not loosen at all after wearing them.

Good, but not great.
- This shoe has good lines.
- It has modern classic lines that are stylish but not foppish.
- The gentle square toe is sleek.
- The apron stitch is subtle enough for a more expensive shoe.
- Check the shoe before wearing it, because one shoe from the pair that I received had lop-sided stitching at the front of the apron stitch, which did not match the other shoe in the pair.
- The leather is of good quality, with a good dressy shine.
- The brown color is a bit light and cloudy, which is not as rich as a brown from Via Spiga.
- It felt narrower than average.
- The inside leather scrapes your big toe when you walk and can make it bleed.
- The inside lining scrapes your ankle around the back rim of the shoe.
- Nonetheless, for $100 this shoe looks like more expensive shoes from Kenneth Cole's high end line.
- A sturdy and stylish shoe - as long as your toe heals.

 |  | I could swear that my orders get to me faster than sales people bring them to me in the retail stores! Has anyone ever tried getting a shoe sales person in a department store? It's a zoo! I haven't bought any shoes from retail stores this year. Why bother? The salespeople could care less! Zappos sales associates care and they let the "customer" know that they care!!! I love Zappos! Love my shoes!!! Thank You, Helen F. |  | ~ Helen F., May 29 2008
