These shoes are great! The first pair was so comfortable, I ordered a second pair. Great shoes for anyone that has to walk all day at work. Zappos rocks!

The Battery Park Oxford is a more classic style, which appears to be harder to find these days. It is well constructed with a heavy sole. It is comfortable, but I did use my own cushioned insole which is a personal preference with almost all of my shoes. The down side is that they seem to be hot, probably because they are waterproof. This is a problem in my warm, dry climate, but might actually be benefit in other locales.

I was very careful when I bought these shoes as there have been other occasions when the advertised price was lower than the attempted charge to my credit card. (Even when I called Zappos, they would not adjust the price to their advertised price.) I had no problem with this price. These shoes are roomy, but I would have liked more padding.

Too Narrow - I bought these shoes for my dad. He wears size 11 B-narrow width. The length was great but the narrow was too tight. He was going to get the D-medium width but there were no more in stock. He has returned them and will get something else. But overall, he said the shoes were comfortable and true to size.

Fit is true to size and the shoes are comfortable. The smooth leather finish is a little tricky...it scratches fairly easily, giving the shoes a bit of a worn look. After the look becomes more uniform, I think it will look fine, but now they just look scuffed.

Finally, style for wide feet -
Spouse has extremely wide feet due bone problems, plus can't stand to shop. Limited wide shoes around us and 3E just not cut wide enough anymore. He likes the 'mailman' shoe but bought these. I liked them out of the box and once he tried on wore them to work the same day (with a suit).So they must be really comfortable for this fussy guy. The foot even looks smaller and sides of feet don't look like they are hanging over the sole. Nice sole, tongue and 10 hole lacing. Dressy and waterproof. Will be great in winter since he doesn't wear boots. Room for inserts if he needs extra arch.
Other brands recommended by reviewer: Try Red Wing or Rockport XW or 5E oxford styles

Mixed bag -
The shoes felt great the 1st time I wore them, but actually blistered the side of my heel badly. I was unable to wear any normal fitting shoe for a week. However, after my heel healed I wore them again and they again felt great and did not cause another blister. They also look great.

These were too wide for my husband, but they do look nice. We'll try a slightly narrower pair next.

Solid Value -
Not the most inexpensive shoe, but well worth the price. Good quality leather with no loose ends on the stitching. This is a solid casual shoe with traditional styling and no nonsense construction. The fit is dead on for my very wide foot.

Good Shoes -
Overall a nice looking shoe. It is a very plain style but I have a narrow foot and am limited on my options for styles. The narrow width feels a little wide in the heel.

Nice shoe, not great -
I've been wearing these for several days. They do require some break in; I thought they would be ready to go out of the box based on similar styles from other makers I've worn. The internal heel construction is a bit sloppy and is different in the right vs. left shoe, causing a slight bump in the left heel. They look great and are good for 'casual Friday' days and other times when you don't want a 'dress' shoe but don't want to wear tennis shoes either.

Perfect for outdoor yet respectable shoe -
Nice, basic look over all. Great for winter where there are mixtures of snow, slush, and rain. Enjoy the fit. Appreciate that the insole slips out so I can put my arch supports under the insole.

A little on the wide side -
I wear a 14 4E and was a former Rockport lover, but recently their wide shoe selection or lack there of has disappointed me. Luckily, I found a great replacement in Dunham.
The Battery Park is a nice dressy and comfortable shoe. I would only have two complaints. The first is that these shoes do run a little wide. I have purchased Dunham's before so I know how their widths fit. Nothing that a thicker sock won't remedy.
The other, as another review had mentioned, is that around the "ankle opening" it is a little rough and may cause some irritation which I'm sure will disappear with wear.
Hope this helps!

Dunham Battery Park Waterproof Oxford -
The shoe is very comfortable after the first wear. The looks are very much like the photos. My only complaint is that the width runs to the wide side. Usually a narrow (B) fits me very well, this feels more like a medium or "C" width. They were so wide, I would have returned them had they not been worn and will most likely require some sort of insole etc. if I continue to wear them.

Dunham -
Nice shoe, fits well especially since I need a very wide shoe. Only issue is that the back of the shoe comes up high enough to rub against the back of my ankle causing some irritation. Hopefully as it gets broken in it will get better, because otherwise I think the shoe is great from the perspective of fit and looks.

Look good, but not very comfortable.
I bought these because I had an older pair of Dunham oxfords that I loved for the comfort, but these are nothing like them. OK support, but no padding... feels like I'm walking on concrete. That said, they do look quite nice with an occasional polish, so I've been wearing them, just not when I have to do a lot of walking.

Great shoes, great service -
I'm a 4E, so my selections are limited. I'm a Dunham/New Balance Man! The way I shopped in the past was to look for the size at the end of the box and then open it up to see if I liked the shoe. Zappos makes it easy for me. Super web site.

Awesome shoe for wide feet -
This is an excellent, durable shoe. I'm still wearing the pair I bought in October 2004 but they don't look "spiffy" enough for work now so I needed a new pair. Also, can't say enough good things about Zappos. Made an exchange without question and shipped overnight! So quick & easy. Will definitely do business again, especially as they carry 6E shoes!

Dunham Battery Park -
Took a while to break in. I have trouble finding good shoes due to sore metatarsals and high arches. I liked the Dunham 9100 (Bradford) but that was discontinued. These are nicer but not as cushioned. Once broken in however, I really like them. I wear power step slim fit orthotics and they fit very nicely.

Dunham Battery Park Oxford -
I travel constantly and wanted to eliminate extra shoes in the baggage. I purchased this shoe with the idea that it would do double duty - be an acceptable business shoe by day and a casual shoe by night. It looks okay in a clunky sort of way, but is heavier than I would wish. I had to pad the heel to get a better fit. It will likely end up in my closet as a winter back up.

Despite trying to break these in for two weeks, I continue to get blisters on my right heel. Wanted to buy another brown pair, but decided not after dealing with this for so long.

Great working shoe -
These shoes are very comfortable. I carry a lot of weight and am on my feet all day. They pinch a little bit when crouching. But they have a great bouncy step and wear well. Excellent for narrow feet. I think they are made by New Balance and it shows.

Good all-around shoe -
I chose this shoe for traveling as it goes with both slacks and jeans. I travel very light (carry on only). These Dunham's Oxfords fit the bill nicely. On a recent trip I spent hours on my feet and walked a few hours a day and felt fine, no blisters or aching feet.

Shoe not sized as marked -
This was the 4th pair of these shoes that I've purchased. The previous ones were all great and I highly recommend them as a daily wearer for a commuter with a fair amount of walking as part of the commute.
However, this last pair was NOT the size that the shoes and the box were marked. Putting them up against my last pair sole to sole, the soles were a full half inch narrower and about 1/4" shorter. They were clearly a different sized shoe, and not just a manufacturing variance.
Needless to say, Zappos took care of the exchange quickly and I got another pair (same size markings) 2 days later that were properly sized.

 |  | Good Evening. I just have to say WOW! When someone deserves a compliment for going above and beyond, I am happy to say so. I have never written to a company with such praise. But your company is the exception. With the economy, you just expect to pay more and get less. This motto is definitely not how your company operates. I not only received my shipment basically the next day, FREE, it was exactly what was described online. Thank you again and keep up the good work. From, One Happy Customer:-)
P.S. I also love your saying on the box "packaged with happiness" that is great!!! It made me smile.
