Been buying this shoe for over 15 - 20 years and I can't believe Florsheim is still making it. Why? Because the shoe is almost impossible to wear out. It is extremely light and comfortable right out of the box. The best shoe I've ever purchased and Zappos is the place to buy it. Their service and delivery is second to none.

I have never associated with anyone that rewards me for my mistake, as zappos did. I ordered the wrong size shoes, received free shipping for my mistake and free shipping for my re-order. I also received a coupon with new order. I promise not to continue with mistakes, but I do promise coninued ordering form zappos. I was overwhelmed with over-night delivery of my second order. Your exhibit of professionalism is evident. Your product is first-rate. Thank-you.

Great shoe, for us I believe this is the third or fourth pair of the same style and we have a pair in two colors. Excellent fit for a narrow foot, great wear time other than the shoes tend to squeak when first breaking them in. :( Zappos service is EXCELLENT; in fact we almost have the shoes before we hit "send" for the order! Return policy is good but because we like the shoe, we know we won't need it!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Perfect fit - My husband loves these shoes! He has a wide foot and since they come in Wide widths his feet are happy. Very soft leather, which he also loves.

Soft and comfy - These shoes are great! My dog chewed my first ones and I was insistent on having another pair so I had to wait for them to get them in stock. I'm so happy and relieved that they finally had them in stock! Zappos is like family always looking out for their customers! I will never shop any where else! Thanks Zappos for being AWESOME!

I wear these shoes over all my others--- I have searched a long time for such a perfect comfortable set of shoes that can be worn both dress--and casual. I am buying a back up set for the future --in case they run out of my size.

Well Worth It - This shoe was extremely comfortable the moment I put it on. It is flexible yet provides excellent arch support and can be worn either in a casual or business setting, making it all the more practical and useful. Well worth the price.
