Perfect for me - This boot is exactly what I was looking for; low heeled, very comfortable, soft inner lining, soft leather upper, rich dark brown color. Looks great with my pants and long skirts. Doesn't come up over my calf, which I like. The braided trim and metal circle detail add just the right touch. I sometimes wear a wide shoe, sometimes a medium width depending on the style; this boot appears to run a little narrower, the wide width felt more like a medium, but it works fine for me. As always, great service with Zappos!

LOVE - I have always worn more of a heel. Decided in my new job needed less heel but didn't want boring flats. These work with jeans, dress pants or a longer skirt. Comfortable and look nice. Good workmanship! Order and enjoy!!!

Too Cool! Ordered during the holidays and they still came in one day! Unbelievable! The fit is a dream; like they were made for me. Plus there is enough room for my orthotics without feeling crowded.

Very comfortable, cute and versatile - I am very happy with these boots. They're soft, very comfy and nice looking. They run a bit large, but if you're planning to wear winter socks order your true size.

Beautiful, soft leather and elegant styling - I am glad that I purchased these boots. They are comfortable and fit me well and are easy to walk in. I like the styling-- simple, but not drab. What I love most about them is the lovely soft nappa leather. It's a pleasure to touch. I sprayed them with silicone and wore them in the rain today -- no problem.

Great Boot - I ordered the boot in my regular width, but it felt slightly narrow. I reordered a wider width, and it feels great, no breaking in on this boot...very comfortable for walking, casual style with a low heel. I highly recommend this boot.

The Best! Smart looking, great fit, comfortable, and go with any casual outfit. I ordered the wide and the fit is perfect. Every time I wear these, someone asked me where I got these boots. These boots are a staple in my wardrobe now and I am so pleased with the great quality and versatile style!

Good boot - I'm glad I ordered the wide, they run a little narrow. The heel area is a little loose, but there is no way that the medium would have fit. They look really nice.

Finally! The boot fits perfectly!! I ordered the wide after reading the other reviews and glad that I did. You won't go wrong that way. They are very comfortable and a bit of a 'cool' look to them...with the braid and silver on it..a bit of cycle/riding boot...very soft leather...

Comfortable Boots after 3 years in use. Purchased two pairs (black/brown) in 1999 and they are the most comfortable boots I ever used. Would like to buy a pair of Italian "Foti" brand, but can't find a supplier.

Loved Florsheim for over 40 years. These cannot be surpassed for comfort, style, durability. Does Florsheim make a low cut with higher than normal heels? I cannot tolerate the low heels that most shoes have.

Florsheim's Best Boot. Without question, this boot is the most comfortable, most attractive and competitively priced. I have purchased these boots several times over the past 20 years and they do not go out of style. Recently, I purchased two from zappos.com and could not be more pleased with the service and boot. I have second thoughts about posting this positive review since Florsheim is not always able to supply the demand and I may need another pair! My suggestion to Florsheim...make the Duke in a cordovan color.

Delighted to find the boots I have been looking for. My husband was delighted when his new boots arrived. They fit perfectly!! We had been unable to find any in our area. This was our first order with Zappos, but it won't be our last. Thanks again for such an easy way to shop. Carolyn Hatcher

I love the way these boots fit and wear. They seem to last forever. My only problem is that the place where I live is so small and they are hard to find. Thanks to the internet I finally found them. I've had several pair, and I love em.

I have EEE feet and have been wearing this model for a few years. Unfortunately, the two pairs I purchased a few months ago do not fit as well as previous models because the current fit is tighter than marked.
