I am a pharmacist - so I stand on my feet nine hours a day. I have found the Riva to be the most comfortable shoe to work in. The sole is very sturdy but feels great. I highly recommend this shoe.

I am used to wearing Berkshire loafers. The feel of the Riva is different because the sole is thicker. No problems...just takes some getting used to.

Extremely comfortable, especially for people with high insteps. Like the expandable band. Stylish for most occasions.

Can only be used in dry weather. If you walk around in even a slight drizzle, your toes/socks get wet; carry an extra pair of socks (not included)!

I really like this shoe and have bought many pairs of the last 10 years. I am, however concerned about the soul. My last pair's soul on one foot cracked clear across the soul. I had not worn them very long, maybe 6 months, and I think the material that the soul is made of must have been defective. I could not find a shoe repair shop that had the tools required to repair it.

One heel exploded-- not like a cherry-bomb, but like a tomato that is squished on the kitchen counter. The soles also developed cracks and wore out quickly so the longevity of the heel and sole is not so good as in years past. That said, I love these shoes. I have never worn a shoe so comfortable and I will continue to buy them.

I have worn this model of shoe for years!
With this purchase, and the previous pair, the quality of the sole material has gone way down. the sole showed visible cracks within one week (i have had the current pair for 3 weeks), the same as the last pair, but the last pair had broken through after 5 weeks, and was unwearable after 5 months.
Previously, this model had lasted well over a year (and a couple lasted over 2 years).

I have had the same pair of these shoes for over 17 years and there's nothing wrong with them! Amazing quality!

I have been wearing Florsheim Rivas for over 20 years, in the same size - 11 1/2 E. However, the set I bought this week does not feel to be the same width as all prior sets. It feels narrower. Did Florsheim change their sizing standard? Must I now go up to the EEE, which may be too wide? I would appreciate hearing from other Riva wearers as to whether their new Rivas fit the same, or not. By the way, my feet have not changed size or width. With respect to size, the new Rivas seem just a bit shorter as well, perhaps a quarter size. The old Rivas this new set of Rivas was bought to replace were bought approximately 4 years ago.

Plastic soles scream cheap. That said, the tops look good and these feel AMAZINGLY soft and comfortable on my feet.

I have been wearing and re-ordering this shoe for well over a decade. I love it.
However, I live in California. I find the shoes are impossible when out of state and the sidewalk is wet. The stitching in the soles just wicks the water into my socks and feet.

This basic style has been out since 1978, if I can remember right. I have been buying this every time the old one wears out, sometimes two colors at a time.

[...]--exactly as promised, right color, right style, as selected from the online catalogue. I have been wearing Florshiem shoes since 1962, when I bought my first pair of dress shoes to go to college. Still wearing the brand, those first shoes only lasted about 5 years.

ONE OF THE MOST COMFORTABLE SHOES I HAVE EVER WORN. I JUST WISH THEY LASTED LONGER, BUT I AM HARD ON SHOES DUE TO A BACK CONDITION

I have worn these shoes for years which shows I really like them. The soles do wear out rather quickly though.

I like the elastic band on top but not the cheap soles. I had to have white shoes and these were some of the few.

Rive can be worn for work [ I stand a good part of each day ] and be fine for going out casually that night if leaving directly from work

I wish more shoes were built like this - I wish there was a wider selection in the c-width.
