Wonderful shoes, I have been buying these shoes every few years for many years - light, comfortable, easy to wear. Only problem is the sole is a bit slippery, but unless one is wearing work boots they all seem to be.

I hesitated in buying the shoe as the width was listed as "W (3E)". I am a true 3E and the normal "W" is not wide enough in most shoes. I was pleasantly surprised to find this was a 3E. I have had many pairs of this shoe over the years and it is one of the most comfortable shoes I've owned. Holds up well, too. Super service from Zappos and received the order sooner than expected.

These are excellent shoes. I ordered the wrong width size. I immediately sent those back. I was creditied and received new size just a few days later. I am very happy with your company. I will do business again with you.

These shoes are comfortable when on your feet all day. They look good with a suit and wear for a while with almost daily use.

Bought these for my 89 year old dad, who has a small (5-1/2 E), wide foot, for my parents' 70th wedding anniversary party. He wore them for three hours, walking around, danced a couple of times, and wants to wear them at home all the time. Going to order another pair for him.

Love the shoe. Been wearing the Riva for years now. On my 3rd and 4th pair. Last a long time, look great, most comfortable shoe I have found for work. I'll keep buying them as long as they make them.

I ordered these shoes for my husband for work. He has been wearing this style for years and owns them in both black and brown. They look great for a dressed up look for work but they are very comfortable. He refuses to try any other shoe.

My hubby has been wearing these same shoes for work forever, over 20 years. He likes them because they are comfy, they look nice (he always gets compliments on them), they have a non slip bottom & they are reasonably priced.

These are just what my husband wanted, he had a pair just like it and said "get me another pair like these." In a couple of clicks I had a pair. Thanks.

I prefer shoes with rubber soles and heels, as they tend to last longer. These shoes feel like slippers. They are very comfortable and I highly recommend them.

I ordered these shoes as soon as I got an e-mail from Zappos that my size was now in stock. That's because I've had at least two other pairs that I've worn out and I gotta have 'em! These shoes provide an incredible combination of dressy, classic elegance and amazing comfort. You won't believe how lightweight they are! The only downside is that they are not extremely durable, especially if they get wet. I don't use them as every-day shoes. But when it's time to get dressed up, they feel as good as they look.

I have been buying the same Florsheim shoe from Zappos for many years. I have found their service to be as good as it gets. In most instances I received my shoes the very next day with shipping totally free.

My husband loves this shoe. He has problems with other shoes. He tells me there is no breaking in period with these shoes. He is on his feet a lot with his job. I would strongly recommend this shoe.

This shoe is comfortable, especially since there are few in this width that are suitable for both casual and dress wear. Felt tight at first, but seems to be stretching out a bit.

These shoes are awesome. I bought them in black as a gift, and he loved them so much that he ordered another pair in brown. They are very soft and look professional. Worth the money!

I am very pleased to say the product was exactly what I hoped for. I received them two days after ordering them. Wow! My new ones are in black and the fit, finish and the sizing are on the money. The leather was so supple that I had the feeling that they had already been broken in. To reiterate, the service from Zappos was outstanding. I'm going out of town next week, timely delivery is obviously important to me. I really wanted to take them and had even considered a local store instead of Zappos. Glad I didn't. Zappos, with their verified delivery and great return policy, has earned themselves a customer for years to come. Keep up the good work Zappos.

Very lightweight shoe. The soles are not leather, but made of plastic, which may contribute to its light weight. Very comfortable extra wide shoe. True to size.

My husband has worn this same style and brand of shoe for years. He loves the comfort and slip on ease. The fit is also a big factor since he wears size 6 EEE and has a very high in-step. They are of good quality and he gets many years of wear out of them.

Florsheim Riva --I have been a group tour escort/travel agent for 22 years. I am on my feet 6 to 12 hours a day. I have back pain, and mild sciatica on my longest days. These shoes keep me going virtually pain free on my feet. They support my feet very well, and do feel comfortable to me like tennis shoes/slippers. My only gripe is that they come in only the "three Bs" = black, brown, and burgandy. I wish they had a lighter color for recreation time like light grey or tan. I wear a narrow B or C (a D is too wide) so sometime getting a good fit is tough. At age 62 they keep me on my feet and happy.

Have been using this shoe for about three decades. Was introduced to it by the owner of a owner\/operator shoe store in North Hollywood. Has been in my closet on a continuous basis since that time. Seldom see it in the usual brick & mortar stores in the recent decade. This purchase was to replace a pair ruined in an accident. Zappos service was exemplary.

I've worn Florsheim and Riva for many years and in different colors. Recently, the brown color was impossible to find. I was told they didn't make it anymore but I found it online at Zappos and Florsheim. Being that I was visiting family in California, I needed it shipped to me pronto. Florsheim said it would take a few days. Zappos delivered it the next day. What can I say. 10 stars, 2 thumbs up. I am a very happy customer.

My husband has an extremely small foot so shoe buying has always been a challenge for us. Some years ago he "lucked" upon the Florsheim Riva. Although he has a closet full of shoes which never quite fit, he always wore the Riva. Now these favorite shoes were getting quite worn. We were delighted to order the Riva in his size -- they came the next day to our great surprise. I don't think we will go shoe shopping again. We'll just order from Zappos!!
