Great looking shoe that is cushion to walk on - This shoe looks very dressy, but is very comfortable with the Nike Air sole. Slip-on and off easy at the airport. Dressy enough for work. A nice shade, slightly lighter than "standard" brown you get with dress shoes.

A classic shoe for northern climates - OK, first off, I ordered these shoes at 8p.m. and had them at my door by noon the next day...kudos Zappos for amazing service. I have owned Cole Haans before so I matched my size and they fit great once the leather warmed up. The shoe is elegant and dressy enough for work and has the rubber sole for the snow covered sidewalks. I was looking for a slip-on for travel that could handle the elements and was comfortable without a traditional heavy sole. The price was well worth it. I’m completely satisfied.

Great shoes! I got these shoes for my husband, who loves the look and comfort. He received compliments the first time he wore them and now wants them in another color too!

Husband's Happy Feet! Bought these for my hubby in black first and he liked them so well I got him brown too. ALL the Cole Haan Air's are great (men's and women's). He gets that athletic shoe comfort but a nicer, more dressed up look.

Great shoes - These shoes were great from day one. I own another pair of Cole Haan/ Nike and both are exceptionally comfortable. Super comfortable, super versatile shoes. I wear them with a suit in the courtroom and I wear them with khakis.

This is a great shoe for business casual wear. For full business attire (i.e., a suit), I prefer my Allen Edmonds shoes but the Air Dempseys are great for just about everything else. They were comfortable and pretty true to size right out of the box.

Comfortable shoe! I work in New York, and just like most people who work in this area, I use public transportation a lot. I walk around 15-20 minutes from the subway station to my office, and because of this, I need to wear comfortable shoes. I gave this shoe 5 stars based on comfort because of the soft leather and the rubber sole. The sole also has Nike Air technology, which you won’t notice by looking at the shoe, but when you wear it, you do feel the difference. The shoe also looks great if you wear business casual and may be a good option during the weekends in jeans.

Better than expected! This was the first time I used Zappos. The picture does not do these shoes justice. They are beautiful and Zappos is amazingly great to deal with. I would recommend these shoes and this site.

Great Boots - These boots are comfortable, stylish and WARM! However, you need waterproof prior to wearing. If you are a SW shoe lover, I would suggest ordering a half size larger than you normally take because the fur lining runs throughout the boot.

I really like the style of these boots but they do seem to run a bit long. They are very comfy and I got the tan color and they look great with jeans. They are a bit more dressy than Uggs but not quite as comfortable.

I have two pair of these boots and love them. One in black and tan. They are really comfortable and true to size. I bought a pair of Stuart Weitzman boots with the same boot and a different top about thirteen years ago and they still look almost new and I really have worn them through the years. I had a girl ask me if she could buy them last year. This boot is a good investment if you want a boot that will last and one that really looks good. I spray the water proof on them, but they are rain resistant. Hope this helps you make your decision, you should like this boot even if it is a little pricey.

I ordered several boots in my recent order and was pleasantly surprised when I tried on these Stuarts! The others brands are going back! These are well worth the money! You know you get quality when you order Weitzman. Very classy, comfortable and beautiful!

I wanted a very comfortable easy on and off boot to wear with leggings tucked inside and something more dressy than an Ugg. This boot is comfortable, dressy, flashy, and warm but not hot. I wear it around the house and with leggings, I would buy it again. I wear it without socks and it is easy on and off. Good foot support, true to size.

I was looking for a warm, casual and comfortable pair of black boots. Something a little more stylish than Uggs. Sounds simple, right? Not so much. After several false starts I found these SW's on Zappos. Wore them for the 1st time while shopping in Chicago. Could not believe I could wear them all day and my feet never got tired or cold! Had several people ask me where I got them and 2 of my shopping companions ordered pairs upon our return home. Completely lined with 'furry' stuff and comfortable sole. Usually wear a 7.5 M, but got these in 7 (no need for socks). Couldn't be happier!

Zappos can't be beat for customer service! They go ABOVE & BEYOND! No one comes close to the service they offer. Why would I shop anywhere else when you lose nothing because they offer free shipping BOTH ways. What a breath of fresh air: a company that truly provides service!!

This boot is a dream come true for those who live in a cold climate. They look stylish in a dressy or casual mode. The comfort is fantastic.I wear them to work, with jeans, with short skirts,with long skirts, to yoga and to the ballet! These boots are cozy even at zero degrees F. I have three pairs! And, they fit true to size, have arch support and have great traction on ice.

This is a very comfortable and attractive boot. I have very wide feet, and the 7W fits comfortably without socks.

I pondered about these boots for a while, until they went out of stock, but Zappos notified me when they were back in stock. Hooray! They were well worth the wait. I have had many compliments on the styling. I have worn them several days all day long, jeans/leggings tucked in, in cold and wet and slushy New England winter days, even wore them on a Cape Cod beach on New Year's Day 2010. They kept my feet cozy (it was 20 degrees and blowing snow!). They shed the salt, water and sand, and they still look like they just came out of the box! Highly recommend.
