Geneva

Women's

Very enjoyable shoe that has a uniquely comfortable second-skin feel once it molds to your foot. Very classic looking sandal too. The only negative I can report is really generic to this kind of sandal. The shoe is soft, flexible, and almost flat. Once the insole molds to your foot and the initial cushiness tamps down, the forefoot does not have the degree of padding, nor the degree of midsole support, that, say, Geneva's insole-sharing cousins, the Cosmopolitan and High Scandinavian lines have. Not surprising given the thickness difference. The result is that the Geneva is great for a few hours of running around, but you may have fatigue or soreness in the metatarsal/ball of foot area after that. I still love them, I just don't wear them all day.

This sandal works great with my orthotics. I usually wear an 8 1/2 or 9 and the 39 is perfect. My feet are medium width leaning more toward wide. Comfortable the first time I wore them.

I have a pair of these shoes I bought a bit more than 3 years ago. They are my "house" shoes and I have worn them everyday during that time. Sometimes I wear them all day as I do housework cleaning up after 3 kids, a giant dog and my husband. I love the old pair of this shoes and that's saying a lot since I have foot and ankle issues. Sadly this new pair had some issues in the manufacture. I have to send this new pair back because the holes for adjusting the buckle are not fully punched through on one of the shoes. I am unable to adjust them to my foot. If they can give me a non-defective pair, I will exchange them. All in all, for the pair I have had for 3+ years. I have had the straps reattached to the soles twice. The soles are still in decent shape but the cork pads are starting to get a bit funky. Since the replacement soles cost about half the shoe cost, I thought another pair of shoes that I LOVE would be worth doing before it was discontinued.

I love the look and feel of these sandals. Great for work and casual wear. I do wish the sole had a little more cushion to it.

Fit is a little roomy, but I like that. Material is a soft, flexible yet sturdy smooth leather. I continue to get compliments on them even though they're very old. I mean VERY old. I bought these over 10 years ago and have worn them most days all year long (socks in winter). I have wanted another pair but have been unable to find them online or in specialty stores. I was told a few years ago that the Geneva had been discontinued so I abandoned my pursuit. I've never had to have them resoled but I have had to have the straps re-sewn a couple times. I was delighted today when I received an email notifying me that Zappos had settled a class action lawsuit (award was 10% off next purchase) so I decided to check for them. I found them! Not exactly the same - my old ones don't have decorative stitching along the straps. I actually like mine better. I decided to order a pair and was very disappointed to see that they have every size available - except my size! I have requested a notification when (hopefully, not "if") they get more in. I'm attaching photos so you can see how they withstand a LOT of wear!
