Just OK - I ordered these boots to replace an old similar pair. When they arrived, I realized that the heel was lower than I expected and the platform in front was not as high as my older pair.

Cute but not as stated - Very stylish, nice suede and looks good. Definitely not a 16" width in calf. I also ordered the Wide in foot, they felt very narrow and tight.

Cute, but fall easily - This boot is so, so cute...but unfortunately, even just after wearing them around the house for 10 minutes, they started to fall down...slouching uncomfortably. The lack of zipper is the culprit, I believe. They fit well with jeans (and I have a wide calf), but not without. I was afraid they would stretch out even more. Still hunting for the perfect brown boot!

Love my new boots! I read the reviews here after I ordered, but before I got the boots so I was scared! I was trying to replace my favorite brown suede wedge boots which were worn out. These arrived yesterday and I am wearing them today. I love them. There is plenty of room in them and I think they slouch beautifully! So, so happy!

I just loved the look of this shoe and waited a while before I bought them. The area around the toes was comfortable, but the top hurt a lot. I tried and tried to break them in, to no avail. An additional irritant, the strap needed to be longer so as to cover the velcroe. The black velcroe stood out and caught on things because the strap left more than an inch uncovered.

2tight4- Shoes looks really nice and stylish, even on my big size 11 feet, but the square front is just too tight, same goes for the middle piece. It just cuts into the flat area on your middle foot.

Tempting. These shoes look much better in person than they do on the website. Less clunkier, more stylish. I do agree with the other reviewers that there are some fit problems. I have no trouble with the toe box, but it's hard to pull the strap tight enough to cover all the Velcro (which is black and thus conspicuous) and they do dig a little on top of the foot. I'm never patient enough to break a shoe in, but these might be worth it. I ordered several pairs of red mary janes so I could pick (simples, doc martens) and this Marc shoe is the best looking.

High arches? At this price, you must at least try these - I own these in red and just ordered them in black and camel. Here's the thing: they have amazing arch support. I'm not just talking cushiony padding, which they also have, but I mean real support. I'm constantly on the lookout for shoes I can walk in, because I walk a LOT and my arches are high. The Dansko clog line works well, but sometimes you want something a little neater looking. I also have a quite high instep and though the instep on these isn't baggy and I think I did have to break them in a bit - it's fine now. And the strap just fits on me, no gapping of velcro though I think there might have been when I first got them. I also have a widish foot and these feel fine and look trim. Bottom line is, if you need support and you like how these look, give them a try especially at this price. and esPECIALLY at zappos, with their great attitude and free return shipping! I usually wear a 9.5 or sometimes a 9 and I wear a 40 in these. I actually think that's pretty true to size - in Danskos, I have to wear a 41 (except the dansko sport clogs which are longer, I wear a 40). I wear a 40 in Birkenstock Arizona and 41 in Birkenstock Annapolis. I mention so you can make the best size choice :)
