Love them! Very comfortable and a great height. I do have a bit of a problem zipping them both up and down in the back but patience seems to work.

I really felt guilty paying so much for a shoe. But I just love it! I refuse to buy cheap shoes or ones made of synthetics. Well-made and comfortable, despite the height. I usually wear flats and can wear these all day, no problem. I hope to wear them for years to come. 4 stars only because they're still overpriced. I wear a size 10 and a 41 is perfect. I also put a Pedag Queen leather metatarsal insert into them; it's the same color as the insole so it works out nicely.

Can't add much to the previous good reviews. I generally wear between a 6.5 and 7 and the 7 fit perfectly. 1st time wearing, wore all day and they were comfortable. Many compliments. Foot-bed is also quite soft and comfy. I got the green and it's a great shade and will go with many outfits.

They had the shoes I wanted (I love them). They shipped them immediately, no shipping fees. They are the most organized company ever!

I am 5'8" so I don't always want to wear a shoe with a ridiculously high heel, especially for casual wear. These are perfect! Plus they are comfortable and look great with almost anything. I wear them with maxi dresses and pants.

I usually wear flats but the way this shoe is made I can wear them anywhere. I get lots of compliments on them too and ordered them in black as well.

Awesome shoe! So comfortable for such a high heel. I have platform wedges by Donald Pliner and Stuart Weitzman and these are by far the most comfortable. I have them in black, and just ordered them in the brown.

I loved these shoes. They looked great and I could tell they were easy to walk in. However, I take a 41-42 and these were just way too small for me. It broke my heart to send them back! Cordanis have such a great look, how about making a 42?

I loved these shoes except for the gapping at the sides. Wanted to keep them but had to return them.

I'm just loving my new green Cordani's. I'm always looking for as many wearing options as possible for any article of clothing or shoes. Not only are these shoes very comfortable and the suede is like "budda", and they're great dressed up or down.

These are great! I get a pair of Vans flats every summer, and I would say these are the most comfortable version yet. I have been wearing a pair in black since the spring and just ordered a second pair in grey for the last month of summer. They are lightweight and there is not much to them, but they are extremely comfortable, and go well with jeans, shorts, even a skirt or sundress. I think of these as such a simple, basic summer shoe, but I get compliments on them all of the time!

These shoes are cute and pretty comfy (once I broke them in--they do cut a little at the until the canvas softens). Don't worry about the super long laces--I just knotted them, cut the extra length (Dear Vans, Why are these laces so long?), and tucked them under the tongue. Voila!

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! The picture is misleading because in reality you have to tie the laces in an awkward bow that doesn't fit the style of the shoe.

So disappointed! These shoes are so cute, very casual and fun, and I loved the way they looked on my feet. The footbed inside is cushioned, and the style is great, but Ouch. All those stitched panels rub like crazy. It might not bother some people, but I was uncomfortable just standing in them, and didn't even attempt walking. These went right back in the box.

SO UNCOMFORTABLE!! Just when I thought the blisters on my heels were going away I started getting blistered on my little toes, and then near my big toes. They seemed comfortable and to provide good support when I tried a different color on in the store which is why I felt confident ordering them online, but this has turned out to be a disaster.

I love these shoes. They are a lot more sturdy then the Toms or other look-a-likes without being ugly. I can even put in my orthos with them which is a huge bonus. They were pretty stiff when I first got them, but after wearing them with socks for a few days they loosened up. Couldn't be happier with my purchase! Who doesn't love great shoes at a great price (and super speedy shipping)????

I bought these shoes before going on a trip because I knew I would be walking a lot. I wore these one day without socks, but started to feel a little rubbing around my heel. Every day after that, I wore socks and no problems. The strings are very thin so I tied them a lot because the toe felt a little loose. I got a 7.5 and I usually wear either a 7 or 7.5. They're a little dorky looking, but I liked it.

The shoes were a gift for someone and I was very pleased with all aspects of my purchase. Ease of ordering, speed of delivery and well packaged delivery. The shoes were very much in keeping with their picture online and I hope they fit the person well!

Most comfortable shoes ever! I'm a teacher and these are the only feet my feet can stand all day, everyday! I bought the other colors too.

I'm very happy with these shoes. The sole is very comfortable, although there isn't an arch, but that doesn't bother my feet. Others have commented on the seams, and they bothered me at first but it didn't last long. I wear a 9.5 and don't think the shoes made my feet look big.
