Love them! I love these shoes. The lower heel makes them more comfortable and the non-skid on the bottom is wonderful too! The look of these shoes is very unique...good to dress up or down. Definitely recommend these!

Wanted them to work, but they didn't - I liked the look of these shoes very much in person, and I really wanted them to fit and be comfortable - but they didn't, and they weren't. There was absolutely no arch support or cushioning of any kind and the ridge that the ball of the foot sits on put a lot of pressure on the toes, so much so that it seemed like something was wrong with the manufacturing (and I tried two pairs). I am normally very comfortable in a heel higher than this, so that wasn't the problem. Zappos was great with the return process. Very attractive shoe, and disappointed they didn't work - the search for the right animal print pump goes on!

This is the first time wearing a Bandolino shoe. I loved the thought of a dark brown patent leather shoe and I have not seen a shoe anywhere in brown patent. When I received the shoe, I absolutely loved the look but was a bit disappointed in the fit. It definitely runs smaller than normal. The shoe is cut a little higher on top in the front than I normally wear. Reordered in half size larger and a little large but I inserted heel guards to take up the room.

Great Leopard Pumps - I almost didn't order these shoes after reading the reviews about fit. I'm glad I followed through, though, because they're gorgeous and perfect for work. I typically wear a size 8, but usually order an 8 1/2 in pointy-toe shoes. That's what I did here, too, and the shoes fit fine. The first time I wore them was for a 9 hour day at the office and my feet didn't complain at all. No blisters, no uncomfortable rubbing, ideal heel height.

Modern classic - Can't go wrong with this pair.

I love these shoes, and now I am a convert to the Bandolino brand (due to other shoes I bought from them recently as well). They are comfortable and stylish, but having unusual feet my experience with this shoe is different than the other women who have reviewed it. I have long but very narrow feet, so I ordered a 1/2 smaller than my normal foot size (something I do with all high heels) and they fit perfectly. So, if you have narrow feet getting the size smaller would be better.

THE shoe - I looked all over for a brown suede pump and this fit the bill. At first I felt they were too tight, then I tried them on again and they were great!!! I was going to return them but I decided to keep them.

Darn nice shoe! Although the toe box is very narrow, the heel isn't too high so your foot doesn't feel like it’s being slammed into the end of the shoe. Very soft leather, molds and stretches to your foot nicely. I wear the shoe frequently to work, it makes a nice all-purpose black pump!

I did a LOT of searching for the perfect leopard print shoe and found this one. I was nervous to purchase them because of other reviews about fit, but I'm so glad I did. My feet are slightly different sizes and I have a hard time finding shoes that work for me. I ordered my regular size and, after just wearing them once, they stretched to a perfect fit. I'm so glad I didn't order a half size up! These shoes are so easy to dress up or down and I get tons of compliments on them :)

Dr. Reed's review of Bandolino Berry - Zebra Print - I love the look of the shoe; however, they are uncomfortable to wear. There is not enough height in the toe area so the toes are crowded. I am hoping that they will be more comfortable once they are "broken in." In spite of this, I do not regret the purchase. The zebra print design adds presence to any outfit.

The Deer KING. In 1954 my dad died and I inherited his old DeerKing slippers. He only wore them indoors and they were like new when I got them. I've worn them indoors and outdoors, winter/summer in New England for the last 46 years. They're still quite serviceable, but cosmetically a bit worn looking. So I'm about to order my own pair now. They're the absolute best!

Only the best. I've owned two pairs of these slippers over the past 25 years. They wear fantastic and last a very long time, even with extreme usage. When I say this, I'm not kidding. I did an extensive remodel of my home's interior over the course of six years and almost exclusively wore this model slipper. My pair of slippers endured the entire exercise. Pretty beat up, but still wearable.

The only slipper for the successful man! I bought my first pair of Evans slippers 10 years ago at Macy's. The next time I needed to replace them, they were out of my size. In fact, they didn't have any in the store. So I bought other types, but was never happy with any other types. Then today I started to search and, lo and behold, the first thing I saw was this wonderful web site. Now my concern is the correct size. I'm not a brand type of person but I never forgot the Evans name. They make me think of the good shoes made by Rockport people.

Beware! This is not the slipper it used to be! I've had a pair of these slippers for ten years, and I love them. When the soles wore out, I purchased a new pair from Nordstrom's, and, within a week, the slippers started to fall apart; peeling at the trim, separating the sole from the upper. Nordstrom's took them back without question, and the salesman gave me the following information: First, as I suspected, the leather trim, which lasted on mine for ten years, had been replaced with plastic —hence, the disintegration I noticed on my new pair. Second, production has shifted from the U.S. to China, and quality control has slipped to the point where Nordstrom's received many pair of LB Evans shoes which were literally falling apart in the box. Third, there were so many complaints that Nordstrom's people were considering making their own version of this slipper which conformed to the prior quality. Lastly, of course, LB Evans was purchased by another company which was more interested in cutting costs than in a quality product. Bottom line: I'm getting my old ones re-soled, and will never purchase a product with the LB Evans label. Buyer beware!

A quality, comfortable slipper - I need a slipper that is comfortable, attractive and can be worn outside, while taking the dog out, etc. In addition, I need an unusual size (8 EEE). These Deerking slippers fit the bill in every regard.

Great house shoes - I like these house shoes so much that I have been getting a new pair of them every year for Christmas for about the last 6 years. I simply don't want any other kind. I learned several years ago that they tend to run about a half size larger than marked, so I just order a 10 rather than a 10 1/2. Zappos' service was excellent.

Unsurpassed quality, comfort and value! I've worn Evans Deerkings for more than 20 years, and I hope to continue for another 20! I rate them absolutely TOPS in quality, comfort, durability and value, and I highly recommend the product to others!

Great gift for my father - I got these for my father for Christmas and he really loves them. My father is 83, so I wanted something with traction of the bottom and something that he could wear every season, (ie. lambswool lined slippers would not be good for the summer months.) He really loves his slippers and was pleased that I found them in the wide size, something that was not possible at Norstrom, who only carries the slippers in regular widths.

Too large - My shoe size is 11D, so I ordered 10 1/2 figuring slippers stretch. I have previously bought three of these exact slippers over 15 years, and loved them. I can put my whole thumb in back of these slippers loosely and they flop when I walk.
