I just bought these after purchasing them in the beige color as well - does that tell you how amazingly comfortable and chic they are? I have very high arches (size 6.5), so the fact the footbed in contoured perfectly and lightweight mean I can literally live in these. Leather quality is amazing. I've been stopped on the street wearing them. :) I also wear Danskos but find them wider in general, and the wooden footbeds make for achy feet after a while.

I have these shoes in blue. They go with jeans, and like blue jeans, they are a very versatile blue. I work on a stone floor and have sensitive feet and can wear them all day. It is so nice to find sandals that are both sexy and comfortable. They do run about half a size large.

I did not like the sole of this shoe. It was very hard and so had a loud plasticky landing when walking. The arch was great though. I also thought the shoe ran large a half size.

Cute and comfortable! I did read the other reviews and ordered a size 7. I usually wear a 7 1/2. I have a narrow/medium width and these Earth Bonsai fit great!

Love this shoe! I wasn't sure how the negative heel technology would work out in a heel, but it seems to do quite well in these. These were incredibly comfortable to me right out of the box, despite my bunions, GREAT arch support, and I've gotten a number of compliments on them as well. The only issue I've seen is that it seems like the color may be shifting towards blue (from the buff color). Really strange, but I love them just the same, which I think says something.

Great sandal! Wears a little tight at first but breaks in after first wear. Very comfortable and easy to walk in.

I've been wearing MBTs almost exclusively for five years so wasn't sure these would work for me. Happy to say they are comfortable, stylish and make me feel feminine again! Yeah for comfort and style.

I get lots of compliments on this style. I am not a person who usually wears heels, but these shoes are very comfortable. I have two pairs.

I love this shoe! It is hard to find style and comfort in a shoe, but this one has it...I am on my feet 8 hours a day and it passes my comfort test! Great arch support with a soft, flexible suede upper that doesn't pinch. This grey color is very versatile, but I am also going to order in black. Fits true to size, but might run slightly wide.

Sad to say that I have to return these sandals. I thought it felt true to size and the comfort is unbeatable. My problem is that the back end of it causes my heel to slide from side to side - kind of feels loose back there - not good. The heels do make an awful sound when it hits a hard surface.

Great shoes. Lots of compliments, "sneaker?" "shoe?" both. They hurt my heel, hopefully they'll break in, but I've been rendered unable to walk twice, so I'll have to take it slow. The size is wrong. Order a full size smaller if you want them to fit, half size small if you are not brave!

Handsome Versatile and Comfortable! I have received many compliments every time I wear these shoes. As a city dweller, with no car, I do a lot of walking and the soles are nicely padded for long walks. Typical Cole Haan quality and fit.

Saw these in a department store and needless to say they caught my eye. Did a quick check on my Zappos mobile app and low and behold, they were cheaper! I tried them on in the store for size and then bought them through Zappos when I got home. The fit is true to size and the bed of the shoe is extremely comfortable. They are a little stiff (particularly in the back) out of the box, but after a few wearings they've broken in nicely. I get a lot of compliments and they're sure to be noticed!

The product is superb. Good quality, comfortable (needs almost no breaking in). Great style. I had originally bought a pair at the Cole Haan store in a different color and loved their comfort and style. My wife wanted me to get blue suede shoes so I thought about these but they didn't have them in blue. I called Zappos and had a fantastic purchasing experience.

Amazing. I got these shoes in October and now I'm buying a second pair in May. Not because there is something wrong, I just want another pair for the future when these wear out. Love these shoes. You will too.

Great shoe. I got the topaz blue - looks good on khaki pants. Comfort is good and I got a lot of compliments. I would definitely recommend this shoe and at this price it is a great deal compared to things like Cole Haan Lunargrand wingtips. I would definitely recommend this shoe to you.

These are some seriously great shoes. They are very versatile, you can dress them up or down any day of the week. Wear them with a suit or some chinos and a t-shirt. Not only that but they are very stylish and comfortable shoes. I have hand no problems with them so far and hope to keep them in my arsenal of footwear for years to come.

Awesome shoes. I'm literally in my office with them on my feet right now. Definitely one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn and Zappos got them to me cheaper than anyone else! Highly recommended.

Just picked up a pair of the Bergen Wingtips. Obviously, these shoes will go with anything that you throw at them. They do require a break-in period though. I suggest wearing them in short intervals where you do not have to walk for prolonged periods of time or around the house until the leather has softened up a bit.

These shoes are really nice but the mint green is not really mint green at all. In the picture it looks bright, and the soul looks white. In reality the shoe is more emerald green and the soul is gray. Had I seen the color in person, I probably would have chosen a different color. They're a lot more comfy than I first thought. They're nice walking shoes and the soul is very deep.
