These are a great buy. My first day in these, I was on my feet and hustling for almost 9 hours and though my feet were tired, they were not in pain. I get tons of compliments on these when I wear them and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for something that can be casual or dressy...so cute and comfy!

Amazingly comfortable, great sales experience - These shoes are better looking than I thought the pictures showed, and were extremely comfortable-they were a little snug at first, but broke in really easily the first day. Zappos shipped these to me in two days-best online shopping experience I have ever had. If you need a casual dress shoe that is supportive, provides excellent shock absorbing abilities, and just good overall comfort, these shoes are worth their weight in gold.

Higher Quality Rockport Shoe - This costs more then the typical Rockport shoe, but you notice the difference between these Rockports and less expensive Rockports right away. This shoe is solidily constructed. Has good tread, nice removable insole, and non-paper footbed. The shoe is a bit heavier, but it’s not a flimsy cheap shoe like a lot of cheaper Rockports are. I wore it new out the box and it was very comfortable. The heel is a bit stiff and may cause discomfort if you have cheap thin shoes. The side rubber panel are shiny for some odd reason which make no sense on a dress shoe like this. I would buy this shoe again.

These shoes were okay when first purchased, had adequate arch support and width. The quality of materials has been disappointing and the soles have developed a strange internal “snapping” noise when pushing off the toe. After taking out the insoles to look for uneven insertion or other issues that might cause this noise, none are apparent, but the insole has begun to split and separate at the glued sections, in only 2 months of wear, ~3 days/week. The laces constantly come untied, probably due to their material (a smooth nylon), and the soles feel somewhat hot when walking - they do not absorb shock as well as other solid rubber soles I have purchased. The uppers are satisfactory quality, though stitching to the sole is of middling quality. Arch support is moderate. I would recommend Keen casual footwear highly over these Rockports.

Good shoe mostly - This would be a great shoe if it weren't for the clicking noise that developed quickly around the ball of the foot. I can't figure out what causes it but it drives me crazy. Other than that it is a comfy shoe and I wear it 5 days a week to work. Have to double knot the laces because they come loose often otherwise. Personally wouldn't buy again solely for the clicking noise but it's a quality shoe otherwise. Stiff at first but breaks in very nicely in a day or two. I've had these shoes for a few months now.

Most comfortable pair of shoes I have bought. I work on my feet 12-15 hours per day and never really sit down. These shoes are soft, have a cushiony sole, and provide a lot of support. I highly recommend them. Was thinking about buying a second pair in brown.

Only a great looking shoe - The Josef Seibel Janson clog is a great looking shoe but has minimal comfort points. The shoe digs into the lateral and medial edges of the heel. The cushioning is so poor that you can feel the sole as you walk. Initally, the shoe felt o.k., but the more I wore the shoe the more disappointed I became with the comfort.

Great Shoe - This is a great shoe. I just whish they came in wide size. I like shoes with that extra space for when you want to put on a thick pair of socks.

Feel Good - I received them, put them on and wore them all day at the office. I,m very pleased with the shoe and fit. By the way, if you have any questions just call and you'll be assisted by a staff that really helps you get the fit you want and the look/feel you desire.

The walking on air shoe!! My sister in Heswall, England wanted this shoe for her husband who got a pair in brown, at a local store. They loved them and wanted black too, which was not available. I ordered these and shipped them to England (air mail $18) for my sister--to order and ship there was expensive?? Anyway turned out great, every one--Happy Happy. It was by the way a Birthday gift for her hubby--he is in love with this shoe!!!!!

Instant Comfort-Serious Style - I bought these shoes for my life partner who works as a hospital administrator...He put them on and wore them in excess of 10 hours the first day stating later that he felt like he'd worn them for years. Shoe success!!

Couldn't be better! We live in the age of hype; with the apparent exception of Zappos! My Josef Seibel Jansons are perfect; comfortable, handsome, and quality-made. I'm looking for another pair in this brand.

Great Shoe!!! I owned a similar pair of these and wore them until there were holes in the sole. These are the best shoes to have in ones closet. They look great and are comfy. Worth every penny.
