Customer Reviews Florsheim Riva

I wear these shoes 80% of the time. Good for walking, appropriate for business or business casual. I wish lighter colors were still available.

The Florsheim Riva has been my go-to for comfort and style for years. They have great products and great customer service. Thanks, Florsheim, for being a company I can always count on for quality and service!

The Riva shoe has been my favorite for more than 40 years. I have been wearing them in black and brown that whole time. I taught school for more than 30 years and was on my feet a lot on hard concrete floors. The shoe was as comfortable as any I have ever worn. My only complaint was that when I retired about 25 years ago, I bought several new pairs, both black and brown, from a shoe store that was closing that we had bought shoes from for years. The new shoes sat in my closet in the original boxes for about 5 years. The Riva shoes I wore every day were older than that, yet when I pulled out the new ones in the closet to wear, the Comfortech soles had dry rotted and came apart in big chunks so I had to throw more than $400 worth of shoes away.. I was very disappointed and lost more than $4oo that I paid for the four pair. I don't know what made the difference, but I will never try to buy them to wear a few years later again. The Comfortech soles do not store well apparently. Sure wish Florsheim had mentioned that in their catalog, or had a Note in the shoebox to not store them for any length of time because the soles will dry rot.

Waiting on exchange for a larger size. I used size from same style Florsheim shoe I have been wearing.

I purchased this pair of Riva shoes to replace the pair I had worn out after several years. Comfort and the availability in wide widths is what brought me back to this shoe. I hope Florsheim continues to make shoes in wider widths.

Style is a classic slip on. The leather and lining are very soft and flexible. Surprisingly tight and narrow for a 3E width, however. I will hope the shoe "lossens up" with wear

My go-to shoes for years. Always elegant. It is nice to have your feet well dressed.

Been buying this shoe for about 40 gears because it fits me like no other. Unfortunately, the quality really deteriorated sometime over the last decade. The leather uppers are much stiffer and the soles break apart at the stitching far too soon.

These shoes are easy to put on. They wear well, look good, and last a long time.

Nice comfortable dress shoe, but the high sides require you to use a shoe horn to slip it on.

I did this survey once before, but here goes. I really like the style of this shoe and once it is broken in, it is very comfortable.

I have had about 3 pairs of these shoes over time the leather on these is harder than what I remembered previously, not super comfortable but okay.

These are my Son's 5th pair. He wears 14 and these work for him perfectly. Thanks Florsheim.

This has long been my favorite show. Good to find it still available in a narrow width. Very comfortable and looks terrific, dress or casual.

My husband had an old pair of this style that finally wore out--the soles came apart in pieces while he was wearing them. Not happy with that but he got his money's worth from them. So...I bought him a pair just like them--same size. Surprise when he could hardly get them on. They seem to be smaller than the old pair.

It's my third pair of the same shoe over past 30 years. They are very comfortable and stylish.

I have had the Riva style Florsheim shoes for eight years. Time took its toll and it was time for me to investigate if the style was still available. I made the purchase online directly with the manufacturer and am so pleased to have them again. Style and looks is where Florsheim is at.

The sides of the soles are painted. Not good because after a few weeks you have chipped paint

we want them in white. The white was great.

Best shoes in your line and sometimes hardest to find in different colors and size like 5E. Hardest to find in Hawaii as I'm told they go out the quickest. Even your look alike Clarks Prescott's go out quickly. Make more RIVA's

Nice looking comfortable shoe. I have two other pair like these- just different colours.

Comfortable due to lightweight sole construction, which unfortunately doesn't wear long. I have been buying these for 40 years. Great size selection - I wear a 7EEE in this shoe which is hard to find.

Hubby has bunions and has a hard time finding shoes that fit and are comfortable. This pair is the second pair he's had. The first ones are about 2 years old and one of the best purchases we've ever made. He's still wearing the old ones a few times per week so they are showing a little wear. The new ones will be kept for special occasions. They are a little pricy, but when I consider how many pairs we've bought that ended up in Goodwill, well worth the cost.
