Customer Reviews Florsheim Duke

Great looking boot, could be a bit more comfortable.

Good fit. Soles require some breaking in as they are very slick on smooth surfaces. Need to purchase a cushioned insert to be comfortable for long periods. Great look. Not made in USA, which is a shame.

I bought three pairs of dukes, Black, Brown as you see, And Grey, They came on time as they said. I've always have bought the dukes they are a classic half boot that is comfortable on my feet and great for dancing, (slide nice) Chuck 6/28/17

I cannot remember how long I have been wearing these boots for dress but when they were hard to find I decided to try your website and was successful. I found the black on your web but had to order the wild cherry in my size from Rogan shoes online. I will go to your website next time first since the order was placed immediately and shipped,,thank you,,ken

NEED TO MAKE PRODUCT IN A WINE (CORDOVAN) COLOR?

To my knowledge there are no other major companies that make this type of dress boot anymore. They were very popular when I was a kid in the late 70s and 80s. My brother traveled the country playing rock music and he wore these kind of boots on stage all the time. I am told many still do. I have always thought that they are more dressy than cowboy boots. I do wish Allen Edmonds and Alden still made these. I think many years ago they did. Their boots would be American made and of a better quality than these. I have actually had a black pair that I wear about 1 day a week for about 6 years. The front sole is too thin. Even when they are new they feel like you are walking in your bare feet. When you step on a rock it hurts. If they would put a better sole on these and thicker overall material I could give them a better rating. The reason I give them a good rating is because when you are the only major shoe company left that makes a certain style you get a lot of points just for that in my book. I recommend putting inserts in them to make them more comfortable and don't wear them more than one or two days a week or they will wear out very fast. I think they could make a much better pair of these for around $300, and I would be willing to pay it. You know Allen Edmonds would at least charge that much for them.

These boots go great with casual or dress attire. Very stylish.

This " Duke Boot" does not meet the same style of that " Mexican Duke Boot" The maker is Bond.

The only problem with my 'Dukes' is that their soles are too thin to last more than a few months under normal use . . . nice for Florsheim profits, bad for Florsheim customers!

The destription listed a breathable leather lining. The boots my husband received where of man made material. This I do not like......I find it hard to believe one would take such a short cut on such a nice looking shoe. ????

Please DO NOT ever stop making these boots. I have owned these boots since the 70's and have always liked them and will continue to buy them. They are stylish and generally comfortable. They are a nice all around boot. I have worn them with jeans as well as a 3 piece suit, in casual and dress attire. They fit well either way. I LOVE 'EM!!!!

This is my husbands favorite kind of dress,casual shoes.the soles seem to wear out first and he wishes it had more cushioning inside. We shopped many stores that carry a limited supply of Florsheim shoes & none had these,therefore I ordered them online.Delivery was prompt He is very pleased with the shoes.

Western boot heel is more pronounced than shown in photos Disapointed that sole is not bottom stitched

OK

I started using boots when when my grandfather gave me a pair of Florsheim Duke in black he bought and never used. Since the moment I put them on I

The 7D is difficult to seat the heal; the side of the leather that is parallel to the heal, folds inward and the heal cannot be seated in the bottom of the shoe; ie.the foot will not settle into the shoe

The shoe is not made to the standard Floresheim shoes of the past; the soles wear out too quickly and the leather upper appears to be nor all leather; why not make a "leather shoe"? leather has been and still is more comfortable on the feet; the leather on this shoe appears to crack in the creases. hopefully this helps in designing a better shoe; I don't mind paying for a better quality shoe. It's noted that the shoes are made in India not in the USA, although that not the issue, quality is the issue.

I purchased my first pair of Duke Florsheim shoes about fifteen years ago, and I have kept a pair since. the shoe is conformable, it can be dressy, casual and stylish, it is a classic shoe that never goes out of stye, thanks Florsheim

Wearing only on semi formal or casual dates... Very comfortable Boot.. Boot scuffs hard to get out..

Delivered as promised in good packing.

Classic boot with western heel gives you a little extra height. Before I even wore outside the rubber heel was starting to wear. Got a number of compliments about it. To avoid wearing out too quickly I plan on wearing just for special occasions.

My only comment is that the soles on your Duke shoe style are way too thin. This makes them stylish, I suppose, but they wear out much too quickly and they are very susceptible to water. Get caught in rain or snow wearing your Dukes, and you better get ready to replace them soon. If you folks were to put a decent sole (even a Rubber sole) on this shoe, you would be creating an unbeatable value! BTW, I buy Dukes for their high-heeled design, because those heels promote a posture that takes a great deal of pressure off one of my 68-year old knees. As your demographics will no doubt confirm, I am only one of many who would benefit from similarly designed shoes.

This is a quality piece. It looks good, is light enough and slides easily for dancing. A bit difficult to put on. I need 2 hands to pull it, but once on it's comfortable. Oh yeah, wear thin socks as the fit is a little tight.

My boots are too tight and are killing me. Help!
