Helle shoes are great - Diversified slightly from my normal style as I love this brand, these are skinnier in the heel than I normally wear, but confidence in the brand was rewarded these are a delight. Love the buckles you can get you width fit perfectly.

Beautiful, comfortable, hot shoe - I ordered mine in the gold/bronze color and it is beautiful. Very comfortable and expensive looking. Fits great! I have a little wider foot (but not a true wide) and this shoe fits great b/c it is adjustable.

Wore for two days straight at work - I am a technical trainer and wanted a nice looking, dressy shoe to wear at work and while delivering training. I recently wore this shoe for two days straight and was on my feet almost the entire time. Not only is the shoe cute and modern, like most Helle Comfort, it is very comfortable. After years of suffering, I've decided to pay more for this quality shoe and am glad I did because this is the first shoe I can wear all day without my feet literally burning at the end of the day. I like this style so much that I've just purchased in another color. Highly recommended!

Two pairs of same shoe but one is vastly different! I already own this shoe in black and love it so much that I decided to purchase another pair in cognac. When the shoe arrived, I noticed immediately that the label on the footbed was different than my black pair (gold stick-on label rather than the name imprinted right on the leather like most Helle Comfort). To my surprise, when I tried them on, I could barely stand. The arch was so high that it cut into my foot. I compared the arch on my black pair (which is the same advertised style) with the new pair and was stunned to see that the arch on the new Cognac color was approx. 1/2 inch higher! It was almost like they were made by a different maker! Sadly, I had to return them despite loving the color/pattern (I would buy again if I could find a pair in the Cognac color that is the exact style as my black pair). This style is really cute for office or dress. I don't think there's any way around this issue except to order the shoes and see for yourself. Overall, I find this brand to be extremely comfortable and now own four pairs of Helle Comfort Shoes. Unfortunately, I'll have to look elsewhere for this style in the Cognac color.

Great looks and comfort, too. That's pretty much the Helle way, as fans of their shoes know. I like a little more coverage in my dressy sandals, and this fits the bill well. What's so important to me is that both straps are adjustable because my feet are sized like they belong to a different person. My left is bigger and wider than my right. I usually buy a half to a full size up and adjust the fit of the right shoe with pads. No need for that here. The heel height is not too high but gives a nice little lift. My feet don't slide forward the way they do in many sandals, partly because of the adjustability and also because of the suede insole. It's impossible for me to overstate how much comfort the suede insole adds to an open shoe like this. No squishy, sweaty feeling. I have had the black for awhile (purchased from a local B&M shoe store) and came here looking for the cognac. My shoes worked out OK, but I empathize with the previous reviewer's issue. Earlier versions of this brand say "Helle Comfort by Romu's" inside. More recent versions just say Helle Comfort. I'm not sure whether that means the shoes are now being made by a different company, but there are certainly differences that are at least cosmetic between the shoes that I have had for a couple of years and the ones pictured here. For instance, the heel on my black pair is black plastic, not chrome. So not only might your mileage vary, but your shoes might, too.

Hooray for Helle! I simply love these shoes. I just purchased the shiny metallic heel which has a more comfortable foot bed than its black heeled counterpart. I have both, the shiny heel for dressy and black heel for everyday. I hope they never stop making this shoe.

Best slide I have ever owned!!!!! I love this shoe!!! Not too high, super comfortable and absolutely BEAUTIFUL. There is actually a nice arch built into it; something I have never seen in a slide like this. Looks great with EVERYTHING! I will look at buying more Helle shoes in the future.

Great comfort and stylish, too. Took these shoes on a cruise and wore them all night on the first time out of the shoebox. Good arch support as well.

Love at first fit - Oh my gosh! I ordered these yesterday, got them today- talk about service - and talk about a 5 star shoe - it fits, feels and looks like nothing I have ever worn and I wear higher priced brands and comfort shoes all the time. I will definitely be looking to purchase more Helle's. Good Job Zappos!!!

Fantastic comfortable slide - Awesome slide -- I always have trouble keeping slides on my feet. These stay nice & secure. Great stylish look -- comfy footbed. Wore all day 1st day -- walked and walked. Nice to be able to adjust width on both straps. I am exactly between an 8 1/2 and 9 and the 40 fit perfectly (39 too small).

My number one choice, always. I have worn Daniel Greens for more than twenty years. They have the all-around comfort that I want and need for my feet. What more can I say!?

Is there any other slipper? I grew up with this brand in my home. My mother wore them and I have always, too. They're so comfortable and attractive! J.C. Pennys in my home town stopped carrying them. Thank God for the Internet!

Excellent. My mom who turned 88 yrs old this past friday 5/31/02, swears by this slipper. I have shopped with in her in the local stores and the malls in the surrounding area and could not find this slipper for 2 years. My daughter who always searches the internet emailed me her grandma's slipper just a couple of months ago. Mom said hooray, I knew we could find this slipper, it’s the best slipper she has ever had. I will order it in black for the winter but right now she is enjoying the beige one. Thank you for being there for an elderly lady who has been wearing Daniel Green slippers as long as I can remember and I’m 58 yrs old. Barbara A. O'neil for Agnes G. Logan

Loved the old model. I've been wearing Daniel Green Glamour slippers for years and loving them. I've always said they make my feet smile. A couple of years ago I noticed a difference. The inner sole was a synthetic leather and not the sock/fabric inner sole I was used to. This made quite a difference in comfort, especially in Florida. Is there any way I can purchase several pairs in any color, size 8 1/2 with the fabric inner sole? Please make my feet happy again.

Saddened then gladdened. I love the Glamour II Slipper tremendously. I've been a fan of them for as long as you've been making them. You can imagine my great disappointment when the shoe salesman at the King of Prussis Nordstrom told me that Daniel Green went out of business. I then went to the internet and, much to my pleasant surprise, I found you. Thank God you didn't go out of business! Someone should tell that salesperson to get his story straight.

The length was right, the medium width fit my narrow feet but.....did not fit my flat feet. It was as though the arch curve of the slipper hit back on my heel. Otherwise, a classy slipper.

Definitely runs small - Very comfy, very padded, very perfect, but only because I read the reviews and ordered a half size up and a wide instead of medium. Zappos treated me GREAT, too! THANKS!

The old ones were better - My mother loved your slippers, and will not wear any other brand...until I recently bought her a new pair. We were upset that the leather is not of the same quality as the previous pairs. This leather is not as soft and is very stiff. The soles also appear to have changed, too. I hope you will return to the same soft, comfortable leather.

Great house slipper - My girlfriend gave me my first pair. I tried them on and loved the way they felt. So she recently bought me a new pair size 12w pewter. I wish I could wear them other places .
