Wow! Fantastic comfort right out of the box and good looking shoe. I wear 13C and have trouble finding shoes that fit, but these feel great. Also, I got next day delivery at no charge. Great service!!

I have been buying this same shoe for over ten years because of its traditional style and comfort. The composite sole is also very important to me since I tend to drag my left foot do to childhood polio and I therefore wear out leather soles in six months. This shoe can be worn for casual or dress occasions.

Riva is both stylish and comfortable - I can hardly find shoes in my small size, with an extra wide width, these shoes are extremely comfortable due to the rubber soles, yet, they look sharp because of the soft kidskin uppers. I am going to order another color.

Very stylish and comfortable shoes. They feel a little strange because of the continuous sole (no gap between heel and sole) but not hard to get used to. Zappos service and delivery were great.

Florsheims's Riva - My husband absolutely loves these shoes. They fit perfectly and for a man who has so many problems finding narrow shoes, he is in heaven with these.

Feels like a gloves on your feet - The leather is soft. The slippers are very light and it takes a while to get used to wearing them. Perhaps, because I am used to slippers with flat soles that fit loosely, although I only buy slippers in my exact size. (9 1/2 C) The only negative thing about these slippers is they look too nice, more like street shoes than slippers. They are well worth the price.

I tried this on in a store. It runs about a half size big. I usually am an 8.5 and sometimes a 9. Usually a euro 39. My foot is medium width, but just a hair wide (though not enough to buy a wide size). Anyway, the 8.5 in these was quite loose. I would have needed heel pads, even with mid-weight socks. The 8 felt great. I didn't get them though since they didn't have an 8 in the color I wanted, so I'm so glad Zappos got them in stock! Yay! The buckle straps are flimsy, but unless you touch them, they don't look too cheap. There is a bit of cushion in the footbed, so I think they'll be reasonably comfy.

My husband's favorite shoes - This is the 4th pair of Riva's I've purchased. They are my husband's favorite shoes. In fact, he won't wear any other style.

Comfortable and stylish - My husband has been wearing these shoes for years. Recently he realized that he needed a wider shoe, and was thrilled that Zappos offered it in a wide. Now it is even more comfortable.

Hard to fit - This was the most comfortable dress shoe I have ever owned. One week later I bought another pair in brown.

Quality issue - This is a great shoe which is stylish and very comfortable for daily use. However the buckle on the top (with the "F" on it) popped out of the shoe one week after I got it. I currently had to reinsert it and glue it back on. Not very impressive workmanship.

Dress comfort - I have owned sveral pair of these shoes over the years the leather uppers are soft and very comfortable not much in the way of arch support but I doubt anyone would be doing much long distance walking in these shoes. The leather lining gives the shoe the look and feel of quality.

Excellent buy - Shoe feels wonderful out of the box, true to size and width, looks good. What more can one ask for from a shoe. Very happy with this selection.

Wonderful Satisfied Customer - I was so pleased to have found exactly the shoes I had been seeking. They arrived in good form and are, in a word, perfect. Many good buys can be found online, but most of them are negated buy shipping charges. Not so with Zappos.com. My Florsheim Rivas were just as comfortable as I had remembered. I had had a pair just like them but they were lost during hurricane Katrina. Thank you Zappos.com.

Great Shoe - It is a very comfortable shoe. I am hard to fit; my shoe size is 6.5 EEE. This shoe fits, is comfortable and the price was good.

Zappos, you're the greatest! Shoe-shopping has ALWAYS been a dreaded experience for me. I have big, wide feet. Stores never carry my true size, and I always end up with something that almost fits but pinches my toes or is too narrow. Twenty years or so ago, I had a pair of Thom McMann shoes that were an exact knockoff of these Rivas. They were too small for my feet but were still the most comfortable shoes I had ever worn. I actually had them resoled when the low-lifespan rubber soles characteristic of these shoes wore out. When the uppers finally started to come apart, I had to search for the real thing, and I found it at Zappos - and for the first time in my adult life I have shoes that actually fit my feet! I bought the burgundy first, and just recently added a pair of the black ones. I plan to order a pair of brown ones next. Just like everyone says, these shoes are the ultimate in comfort. Wearing these with a suit almost makes you feel like you're cheating -- but they are as classy in appearance as any other dress shoe! One final note: Zappos, I have ordered from you several times now. The shoes always arrive much faster than anyone could expect, and when I have had to exchange something, your service was hassle-free. I heard about your company from a Sears shoe department salesman who buys all his shoes from you. Please stay in business forever and keep doing business the way you do!

Nice shoe, but... This is a nice looking shoe and fits reasonably well, but it doesn't hold my heel well and it feels as though I will step out of it.

Best Ever Service - Not only do I love these shoes, but my experience with your service personnel was the best I have ever experienced. This was my second time to purchase from Zappos. It will not be the last. Thank you for a great experience!

For my dad... I bought this shoe for my father. It is his preferred style in a shoe, but not mine. That is why I gave them a 3 star rating. He said that they were very comfortable. He is extremely happy with them. This was my first time buying from Zappos. They have great customer service. An overall excellent purchasing experience!!
