Excellent shoe, I am blessed with what my wife lovingly refers to as Hobbit feet and have a high instep. It is a good looking shoe and the fit is perfect. I was concerned about the fit, not being able to try them on but with the help of a shoe horn it was not a problem, Shoes are comfortable right out of the box

They were better than expected. Good looking and very comfortable. My wife thought I had bought a very expesive pair of shoes. Not so. Great deal.

These shoes look great, and fit true to size. They look very nice with dress casual and jeans and the leather seems to be of good quality. While the fit and finish is not nearly as nice as a pair of Johnston and Murphy shoes I own, they are still good for the money. The rubber sole is flexible enough for movement, and does not seem like the type of rubber that will break down and crack like many Clarks shoe soles tend to do. I do have to say they are not nearly as comfortable as the J&M are though. These shoes look great but if you plan to walk extensively you may want try these on in an actual store such as Kohl's or a local show store that carries the brand. On the part that people have complained about the rubbing in the toes. It is true. I have standard size width for men. I am not narrow fitted, but not wide either. I have played soccer throughout my life and am used to narrow shoes. The issue with these shoes is that the leather when brand new is very stiff, and mixed with the narrow front of the shoe, it causes the toes to be forced together and rub. My fix for this was to rub the shoes down with waterproofing Mink Oil and saturate the leather. While the leather is polished, it is not sealed and absorbs water and oils readily, I left the mink oil on the shoe for a day and then polished the excess off at the end of the day. If you so choose to do this, be warned it will darken the color of the shoe. What is accomplished by doing this is it softens up the leather and makes it far more flexible, relieving most of the pressure placed on the toes when walking. I cannot say it gets rid of all the pressure, but it definitely helps and it also waterproofs the shoes for rainy days. Overall I am satisfied with the shoe for the price. At roughly 1/3rd the price of a premier shoes such as a Johnston and Murphy, I can definitely deal with some of it's shortcomings. Time will tell how the leather upper holds up, but I can see the upper outlasting the rubber sole easily with proper care.

The wide width version of this shoe is actually the medium width of most other shoes. They look great and the length felt fine but avoid these shoes if you have a wide foot. I had only read one other review that had indicated that this might be a problem but this is truly not a shoe for those of us with EE feet. In addition, the arch support is standard at best.

I normally wear 10-1/2 W, which is what I ordered. I couldn't even get my foot into the shoe it was so narrow. Unfortunately, Zappos is out of stock on larger sizes -- I'm guessing this is why.

I bought several pairs in the different colors offered to test built, fit and of course, if they were eye candy. Eye candy? Yes! Sizing: true-to-size. I did not have problems with the toe box nor were my feet slipping off them. The heel is high, as stated, but I did not feel any lack of comfort due to them (varies of course with how used you are to high heels.) So, positives: style and fit. Here is the negative: each of these pairs, even the individual shoes, may differ in cut and built, which in some feet could potentially lead to fitting problems (tightness in toe box or slipping; with the ones I tested one only shoe had slippage). The built may be horrible. One of the heels was almost falling off. With another pair, the sizing felt different in each shoe (the left one was tighter, the right one was true to size.) In the leopard and mustard, the hidden platform looked a bit off... like the fabric wanted to fall apart. The soles also tend to differ: some are hard, some are soft and some look like they would not last long. Again, the built and cut of these pumps is too variable. They might only last one to three time usage, unless the ones you received were built well. Try and see if they work, but they are definitely pumps out there with a better built. Kudos to Zappos' easy return and exchange services!
