Fits great right out of the box - After years of wearing extra-wide (EE) shoes on my EEE feet, I'm glad I finally found these Florsheims. These felt great the first day I wore them. I haven't been able to find true EEE shoes in regular stores, so I'm glad I found Zappos.

Love these shoes! Great look and as comfortable as tennis shoes. Liked the black so well I bought the brown color too. These shoes are great for air travel. They never set-off the airport security alarms.

Best shoes in 23 years - I am a 23 year Disc Jockey. My feet hurt so bad after a long night of being on my feet that I coulnd't even walk to the door. Then I found these miracles. They are so comfortable! My feet don't even hurt after 18 hours on my feet. And the style is perfect for a dressy appearance in a tux.

All you could want - I purchased the shoes as an alternate shoe for work and I was thrilled with the look as well as the fit and the comfort when I'm on my feet for a long period. Hoping to find other styles from Florsheim with the same comfort fit.

Florsheim Noval - Very pleaed with the style and fit of this shoe, no problems with it as far as comfort and it is a light weight. I have a wide foot and it is very true to size.

Comfort and Class Combined - It's not often that one could combine look and comfort in shoes, definitely not with my EEE wide feet. But I found all those qualities in Florsheim's Noval. I travel very often and they're great to travel with and go to meetings in.

Ditto. First, note that these come in a wide width! Which is a rarity in a casually dressy shoe like this. I bought these shoes shortly before going to London in 2000. Walked 8 to 12 miles a day there every day for 2 weeks. A lot of standing in art galleries. No blisters. No discomfort. They became my favorite pair of shoes. Took them back to Europe in '01. Didn't even bother to take a second pair of shoes. Ditto experience. Now, after about 300 days of use and abuse, they are starting to show their age cosmetically and I'm in the market for a new pair. Don't let their light weight fool you. These are great shoes.

Best Dress Shoes I've Ever Worn. These are the most comfortable dress shoes I've ever worn. I've looked at a lot of 'Comfortable' shoes that look comfortable, but are not very fasionable. These do not sacrifice comfort for looks... They look like Dress shoes. I've had heel spurs and for years, I have worn Dress Sports Rockport. I found these shoes by accident at an outlet store. I've worn the same pair for three months and I'm out searching the internet to find more pairs, in more colors, for fear they might be discontinued.

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

Poor SupportGreat Support
I had the same shoe for many many years. The version I had was sort of a matte black glossy black finish. The soles were getting a bit flat, and were separating from the toes. The leather stayed in good shape. I had these about 20 years so they've been a very good shoe. Not sure if I could get the soles repaired, so I ordered a replacement from Zappos. I ordered a half-size up since my feet are expanding as I age. The half-size up was too large. I will probably re-order that to my original size. This was a very comfortable shoe that I used to work in. I highly recommend it. I did kind of like the older not so glossy version. But I may have used the shoe polish that dulled the leather down slightly.

I need shoes with this type sole...basically does not bend in arch and it is hard to find shoes that look dressy.

This is my second pair of Novals, purchased for their comfort and good looks. Unfortunately the soles cannot be replaced, but they are inexpensive and perhaps it is worth the trade off. I wear these with suits and sport coats and find them comfortable for a full day on my feet.

I have gotten a couple of blisters from this shoe, but I think that is part of the breaking in process. Supple leather, good shock absorbency, great looks and fine slip resistance. Overall a very good shoe.

Good looking Shoe - Florsheim has always been a quality name for men's shoes. I was unaware that they made any "comfort" soled shoes. As I age (mid 50's), I find that my present shoes are rubbing against my foot just behind my little toe, making the feet very sore. So, I purchased an athletic shoe locally that was 4E which provided some much needed relief. Now for some dress shoes. I was attracted to the Noval because of the comfort sole. It looks a little strange, but does provide comfort. I like the shoes, but they still touch the sore spot on my foot - I don't think they are quite as wide as other shoes. Good looking shoe. Would buy again if it came wider.

I wear an 8-1/2 3E and these shoes fit just great. They are good looking shoes that are comfortable to wear all day. The only problem is that the bottom soles are somewhat flat and will not be very good in the snow.

Good for dressy casual. The sole design looked too informal to wear for more formal business occasions.

Good shoe for the money - Takes a while to break in, but after that, it is a very comfortable shoe. Like other reviewers, I would like to point out that it grabs small rocks and you may need to remove those before walking over hardwood. I'm waiting for a Rockport Marble Arch on my size. Zappos service was without a flaw. Looking forward for my next pair.

Fit counts - These shoes fit comfortably for occasions when I need more formal footwear. Some of the Italian shoes may be "prettier", but they don't fit me properly.

I have worn Florsheim shoes for decades with great comfort and success. The Noval is a very comfortable shoe, unfortunately, both soles split across the entire width of the shoe below the ball of the foot long before the soles were worn out making the shoes unwearable.

I have hammer toes. I had used the stiles model previously but tried the noble only to find that the toe room is not as good as the stiles model . The return was very simple. The service was absolutely great.

I purchased the shoe after my other pair wore out. Of course, that took almost 10 years. But in that time the manufacturing had changed so the fit was now less than perfect. They are wearable but no longer comfortable.
