Customers Say

Customers find these shoes comfortable, stylish, and well-made, with excellent arch support and nice cushioning in the sole. They are versatile, working well with both casual and dressier clothes, and one customer notes they're perfect for work. The fit receives mixed feedback - while some find the narrow width perfect, others say they're too wide for narrow feet. The color also gets mixed reviews, with some appreciating the leather's rich color while others find it off.

I just received these today. The shoes are comfortable and supportive...take it from someone with very sensitive feet! I was surprised to find that the insole has extra cushioning in the metatarsal area and then drops off so that toes (and my bunion) still have breathing room. Oh so nice! I wish other manufacturers would provide that. I can even wear these without my orthotics. The shoes are fashionable and such a nice break from the sneaker look that I've been trapped in lately (but the sneakers with orthotics do have their place). I may be 66 years old but I am not ready for grandma shoes! I bought the 8 1/2 M in grey (it's a medium warm grey that blends with many colors) and the leather is soft from the get-go. They don't slide off my heel even though the toe area is roomy because of the hidden elastic on top...very rare. There's also a little room for light socks, which I like. With nylons my foot slides around. So you might want to take that into consideration.

I love this shoe. Unfortunately I have feet that are wide near the toes and narrow at the heel, so when I buy a shoe with room enough for my toes, the heel inevitably slips while I walk. With this Cobb Hill Paulette purchase, I started with a 7.5 W, my usual size, which felt great--soft sole, good arch support, room for my toes--but allowed too much heel motion. So I exchanged for size 7 W, which still felt good and reduced the heel sliding, though not entirely. I don't dare drop to size 6.5, as the heel to toe length is perfect in the 7. I'd rather pamper my toes than squeeze them in order to reduce heel slippage. I have tried those pads that stick to the heel area of shoes in order to reduce slippage and have found the pads to be irritating and prone to peeling off during use, so that remedy doesn't work for me. The Paulettes, while not a perfect match to my odd feet, are the closest I have found in recent years, and the most comfortable. And they look sharp, too. As always, Zappos' prompt shipping, exchange and return practices are the best. Thank you, Zappos!

Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)

Got these Paulette shoes in the red color. SO DISAPPOINTED! I've purchased this shoe--in this color--a couple of times before. Clark has radically changed the design and color. Fewer decorative folds. Stitching and upper material look comparatively cheap. And it's no longer red! More like a maroonish color. Picture on site is a picture of how the shoe used to look. Attached a pic of my old well worn and loved shoe next to the new one. Significant difference. Returning.

I just got these in red and they're a keeper. I have a lot of foot problems (bunions, arthritis of the bone under the big toe, pain on the top of my foot, etc.) and these felt so comfortable right out of the box. The red is really cute, kind of a distressed look and not fire-enginey. I've already put in an order for these shoes in the bark color. I was afraid with my widish foot that I would need a wide, but these are great in the regular (B) width and my normal size (6.5). The only problem is that they feel just slightly big in the heel (not so that my foot is slipping though). I've ordered a size 6 B just to see if I need a smaller size. If that doesn't work, I will put a heel pad in the 6.5. I didn't know anything about this brand before but I will look for these in the future. Thanks to Zappos great customer service for the opportunity to try different sizes and for the quick, free shipping. I just don't buy shoes anywhere else now.

I'm really happy with these shoes! They are even cuter than they look in the picture. They are super comfortable: great arch support, good cushioning. I wore them straight out of the box for a 14 hour work day. No breaking in, no problems with plantar fasciitis. Kudos to New Balance/ Cobb Hill for making such a high quality shoe. Excellent service from Zappos, as usual.
