WONDERFUL shoes! I have worn Birkenstock shoes for the past 8-9 years, and these are the closest thing I have found to Birks without breaking the bank too badly. They are comfortable, look great, and are even better as they weather a bit! The only complaint is that they squeak when shifting from side to side, but that may pass over time.

I love these shoes, but they are not perfect. They are extremely comfortable for everyday use. I like the unique style. My only problem with them is that these shoes may not be ideal for extreme walking: I was in Europe where I did a lot of walking. Because of the limited support, my feet were sore. Granted, I walked several miles that day, so my feet would have been sore regardless of the shoes, but I think that more support would have been helpful. Since in my daily life I do not tour an entire city in one day, I believe that the Patagonia Loulu meets my daily needs with style and comfort.

I was a little nervous about ordering these overseas because of sizing issues, but they\'re sized perfectly and look fantastic. They have fantastic grip on the bottom without being visually intrusive to the shoe, and they\'re very Euro-chic.

Comfy, but slippery! I was happy to put these shoes on, nice and comfy, the front was a little wide for me but I'm getting used to it. The major drawback is they are very slippery on wet surfaces. I have slipped a few times, once banging my shoulder into a metal shelf and cutting it. I can barely walk on tile, brick, even sidewalks when its wet are slick.

About Patagonia
Patagonia's values reflect those of a business that started as a band of climbers and surfers who wanted to stay out as long as they can, doing what they love, no matter the weather. Patagonia's design approach to every product, from technical shells for snow and ice, to moisture-wicking underclothes, to everyday clothes, demonstrates a functional bias toward simplicity and utility. Quality is impeccable, and the guarantee lifelong.
Patagonia's love of wild and beautiful places demands participation in the fight to save them and to help reverse the steep decline in the overall environmental health of the planet. They use organic cotton; most polyester is recycled. They give moral support - and 1% of sales, $25 million to date - to hundreds of grassroots environmental groups in the U.S., Europe and Japan.

I recently bought these shoes because I needed a comfortable pair at work to change into after walking to work (2 miles) in aggressive winter footwear. These shoes work excellently. They feel like slippers, yet are suitable for my office situation. The wool lining and footbed (removable) are comfortable and better than synthetics. The design of the shoe enables foot health, as the degree of support is very minimal (supportive shoes weaken the feet), the toebox is generous, and there is a very low heel (not very evident on the outside of the shoe, but one can see this on the removable footbed). They do crease on the vamp, but the crease is that of a quality leather crease and not the crinkling of low-end leather. I haven't been outside the building in these yet, so my experiences are just with wearing them inside, but do not feel I would have no problems taking them on longer outside jaunts. I liked them so much I ordered the slip-on version, Patagonia Pau; I tried two sizes but could not get a good fit, so returned both. I'm happy with my Loulus.

Shoes were as I hoped from pictures. Also I was surprised that they were even more comfortable than expected. Very, very comfortable. I recommend these shoes if the style grabs you.

Very comfortable pair of shoes made with high quality leather, and a sturdy insole. Stylish enough to be worn in a variety of settings. I would highly recommend this shoe.

These cool looking 3 hole oxfords are great. They've got a kind of funky earth shoe look to them, but are still dressy in a with-it kind of way. Fit is good, they are not an overly large 9 but fit well through my narrow heels. Comfy, contemporary and classy.

The shoes were a gift for my son. They were too big, so I sent them back, then reordered the correct size. No problems and no shipping charges. Very cool, and my son loves the shoes. Thanks.

I was looking for a minimalist shoe with little or no heel rise. This shoe fits the bill! I did remove the insole which has heel rise built into it and replaced it with an inexpensive thin foam sole I bought in a drug store. Very comfortable shoe, good looking shoe, just what I was looking for. I’m curious how long the sole will last long term, as it is pretty thin. Time will tell.

These shoes are comfortable right out of the box. They have a super wide toe box too, which I need. Don't expect a lot of support, though. They have very little cushion and no arch support, but unlike some other reviewers I think they are okay for walking. I walk 3 to 6 miles a day and bike to work in them with no problem. Definitely a good buy.

I have been on a journey to find comfortable shoes and these do not disappoint. I tend to gravitate to the out of the norm when it comes to style and these are cool. Great fit and comfort right out of the box. Super combination of Zappos next day shipping and Patagonia comfort. I rotate thru my shoes as to let the shoes dry out from any possible perspiration along with cedar shoe trees - so shoes last much longer with me. I'm sure to have these around for a while.

I am very happy with these shoes. Their regular width is a bit wider than most shoes, but it helps make these shoes extremely comfortable out of the box.

These shoes are extremely comfortable and well made. This is my first pair of Patagonia (I have worn Dr. Martens for years) and am surprised by how much I enjoy wearing them. They have a unique look and are great for long walks (spent an entire day walking through NYC without issue).The soul is interesting and takes a few minutes to get used to since it is curved, but it feels natural after a few days. The leather is of a better quality than expected and they appear to be holding up well.

Excellent shoes. I never really spend much money on shoes, so this was a big purchase for me. I have not been disappointed. I wanted some shoes that felt comfortable for my commute,which is a couple of miles each way, and looked unassuming and somewhat dressy. My feet feel better than ever, and these shoes seem to be holding up very well. I am considering buying another pair just in case.

Overall these shoes are great. Love the lack of structure, feet are free to move. Apparently I have asymmetrical feet\/ankles, the left shoe is fine, the right shoe rubs my ankle just a bit. As they break in I\'m hoping the shoes will accommodate my right ankle.

I've had these shoes for a couple of weeks now, and have started to notice that they are not as comfortable to walk around in as I had originally hoped. The shoes are very stylish for my taste. They have a clean and minimal look to them. I primarily use them with khakis while at work. Unfortunately, these shoes are rather pricey and I don't think the price reflects the comfort that I have experienced from these shoes.
