Love these shoes. I have a narrow foot which makes summer and sandals a challenge. The velcro adjustment makes them a custom fit.

Very disappointed. Great shipping service, however, someone must have been snoozing in quality control right foot has to be a different size. It was smaller than the left and did not have a chance to try comfortably due to the different sizes cannot rate the actual sandal.

Love this sandal. The cushioned heel makes walking a breeze, no aching feet, and the fine suede insole ensures no blisters. It is exactly as stated: one half size smaller than marked. I have narrower feet than N (AA) but the velcro fastener allows me to adjust the shoe to my foot.

Not warm enough here yet to wear these shoes out, however I find them very comfortable right out of the box! I usually wear a size 9.5 AA, but had to order a 10 AA in order to get the perfect fit!

It is a very comfortable sandal and fits my very narrow feet. It does run small, so get a half size larger when ordering. It is a very good sandal for women with long toes.

This is an incredibly comfortable shoe and had no trouble breaking them in. Had injured my big toe and wore them daily for several weeks; just love them. They do run short and had to reorder a 1/2 size longer.

Cute looking sandal, but... uncomfortable. The foot bed seems narrow. I ordered a 9W and my little toe hung off the side of the sandal.

I love this shoe! Not only is it very comfortable, but I love the way I can adjust it to hold my narrow foot in place. I normally wear a 7.5 AAA but found this ran a little short. I had to return the 7.5 and reorder an 8. The leather is very soft, not hard and stiff. I would have loved to purchase other colors for an upcoming trip, but they were out in my size!! If, like me, you have a narrow foot and are always looking for comfortable shoes, this is for you. By the way, I hate things between my toes but because the leather is soft, this does not bother me at all.

Comfortable shoe...but was too narrow in toe for me. Little toe hung over edge.

I wear an 8 and this was a bit short. It was nice and narrow and felt great! Sadly, no 9 narrow available.

Levis 501's are the only jeans worth wearing! All those other models are okay, but 501's are the originals. Great fit, great look. The only others worth considering are 505's - if you can't deal with the button fly. (Opinionated, aren't I?) Unique to Zappos is the inseam measurement of 31". I have checked 20 or 30 sites, and all have inseams either 30 or 32. 30 is just barely okay for me, and 32 bags up too much over my shoe. 31 is perfect, just enough break over the shoe. Only Zappos has 31 inseam - not even Levis site has that length. (For the paranoid among us, I did extensive reading about signs of counterfeits. None of the signs, obvious and subtle, show up on Zappos Levis. These are the genuine article.) So, if you want the real deal, in more size choices than anywhere else - this is the place to get 501's. The only jeans to have (in my humble opinion)!

I had always bought my Levi's in brick and mortar stores in the past. When I saw the price had increased so much, I thought there had to be a better price somewhere. I found Zappos! The price was better than in the stores, plus free shipping and no sales tax. That was a great combination. The Levi's arrived within two days of placing the order. I am sold!

I only wear these type of jeans because they are perfect. Zappos delivered for free when JC Penney and Macys, even Sears, wanted at least 7 bucks. They came faster than promised and had no problems. I will purchase from them again.

My shopping experience at Zappos was the best quality of any shopping I have ever experienced. It was fast, accurate, timely, and best of all tax free! Thanks Zappos!

Basically the best pair of jeans I have every owned. As other people say, buy them roughly 2in bigger in waist and 2-4in bigger in inseam. I normally wear a 32x34, so I got a 34x36 and they fit well. Plus the shrinking was a lot of fun, having a custom fit is part of the appeal.

Exactly what I wanted and expected. Great buy for a great price. It was a gift for my boyfriend, and he loved them.
