Gorgeous but POORLY sized - I love the look of these but the width is WAY off. The Med width is more like an AAA narrow. Too bad because they are DARLING.

Very Very comfortable - I bought these shoes for an upcoming trip. They are beautiful, comfortable and well made. I look forward to the summer just to wear more often. I love the Zappos shipping and return policies none can compare...

Love this shoe - What a gorgeous shoe. I ordered the black one and it is beautiful. I find that my foot is generally too wide for most sandals, so I ordered the wide width, and it's perfect. I'm going to order the pewter one....

Beautiful sparkly flat - This is a beautiful shoe, something I wish I’d had with me on vacation - however, the leather does cut into my toes some which I’m sure could soften in time, but even with the wide width, my heel gets pushed to the inside which makes for wobbly and uncomfortable (heel on the edge & stitching) steps. These just aren't the sparkly flat sandals for me...

Glitzy but neutral - I am enjoying these sandals...just the right amount of "punch", they go with everything, and comfortable, too!

J. Renee Twila - I wear a size 8 wide but I decided to order a size 9 wide after reading the reviews. It is a beautiful sandal but I still feel that the Twila should be a little wider.

Great shoe - I ordered two pairs, the gold and the black. They are very versatile; I wear them with jeans, dresses. So many compliments! I wear a 9 and they were true to size.

This shoe is a very comfortable summer shoe, and looks very stylish. It was hard finding a decorated type shoe without the leather piece between your big toe. I found the 5.5 and the size 6 to fit about the same.

Cute and comfortable. Goes with everything. I bought the black ones & they're great for skirts, shorts & capris. I was a little disappointed though b/c after I had worn them only TWICE, the leather around the heel was gouged & torn in several places. I think the leather-covered heel is too delicate. Don't plan to wear them where you'll be doing lots of walking or where they may accidentally get bumped by something.

Comfy and cute - Excellent for the summer. Little tiny heel makes them more stylish than just flat and creates a bit of the arch support. The shoes will spice up a casual outfit and go well with a cute summer dress as well.

My new shoes - An earlier pair of another company's new Florsheims of the same style came without insoles and were so stiff I could not wear them. The Zappos Johnston & Murphys came promptly after I ordered them and were so comfortable I discarded the other, stiff pair. Excellent shoes and great service.

Great style, comfort, & secure fit for a Slip-on shoe. J&M did a great job of making this a comfortable slip-on. Good quality leather (for on-line purchases difficult to judge until receipt), and a great finish & blended style which is appropriate for both dress slacks or jeans. The rubber sole is great for comfort but it also has the leather welt & stitching which is worth the extra cost. The heel is not built-up leather, but the trade-off is a very comfortable & durable shoe which handles business travel as well as office.

Just what I was looking for - Needed a shoe to dress up jeans, these are that, and were comfortable right out of the box.

Highly Recommend these shoes - Highly recommend these shoes. You will be hard pressed to find a more comfortable shoe. Let alone one that is stylish. Look great with slacks or jeans. I purchased two pairs, one in black and the other cordovan.

A very good shoe for this price range - The shoes from Johnston & Murphy that I have worn have always been of a higher quality than other brands. It's a shame that the regular J&M shoes are made in China now while the handmade Italian shoes are significantly more expensive. Even so, the Gambrill shoe is very good. It fits well and is stylish. For this price range, it is one of the best shoes available. Thanks to Zappos for making it so easy to get a pair!

Perfect shoe - I have owned many different J&M shoes. I only bought these because they were out of the cap toe I normally buy. These are fantastic and are now my go to shoe. I recommend highly.

These are great shoes. Extremely comfortable--perfect when I'm on the road/plane. I live in NYC and walk a lot. These are perfect for tired feet that get a lot of miles.

These shoes look great but the problem is in the rubber decorative strip that sits on top of the sole. It runs around the entire shoe and in a month started to fall off. I could have repaired them, but when you by Johnson & Murphy you do not expect to do a home repair in such a short amount of time.

Uncomfortable - It's hard to place exactly, but there is something that just doesn't feel right about the shoes. Often after wearing them for a few hours, I will need to take one of them off to give my foot a break. It's not a constant thing, but regular enough to be annoying. I would choose a different shoe.
