This "Geneva" is my first pair of Josef Seibel shoes. I ordered them in my regular size, 10, and they were way too small. I now have size 11 and they fit perfectly. They are comfortable and I hardly notice I am wearing them. The advice given online is to buy a 1/2 size larger, but a whole size larger is more appropriate. I usually wear Doc Martens so these feel VERY light weight. If they had size 11 in stock in other colors I would order them...... but no such luck.\r\nI wonder why they have so few of many of their shoes in stock? I checked other styles and the size 10 and 11 are frequently out of stock.

I love these sandals. I bought the brown to wear this summer and came back and got the black ones for winter. They are very comfortable with a nice roomy toebox so they are good for walking. I also was impressed by how fast they were delivered. I ordered them on Saturday and they came first thing Monday morning. Zappos service is the best!

This will sound corny, but it\'s true: these are the best shoes I\'ve ever owned in my life! They are stylish and comfortable. Zappos was fast and efficient. This has been a wonderful experience!

Great for Wide, Bad Feet - My 3rd pair in 6 years. My second pair has plenty of life left, but as I don't know that I can face life without these shoes, I stocked up. The one issue is that the bottoms wear out more quickly than the rest of the shoe. But the masculine styling, quality workmanship and comfort for my wide, bad feet makes it a good choice for me.

I have very narrow feet so it is hard to find shoes with a roomy toe and a narrow heel. These are great. I hope to buy another pair, as they are very comfortable.

My 2nd pair and still fabulous - I've owned many Josef Seibel shoes, with this purchase being my 2nd pair of Genevas. I purchased Geneva about 7 years ago. Truthfully, the 2nd pair is running smaller, tighter, and not quite as comfortable as the first. There was no break-in period for my first pair like there has been for this one. However, the Geneva is still an excellent shoe. Comfortable, stylish, and well-made, the Genevas do not have an over-pronounced arch, which is perfect for my foot. The insoles can also be removed. The best part...my 16 year-old daughter, who is hard to please, LOVES these shoes on me. My first Genevas wore out 2 years ago and I was unable to find this style anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area. I was thrilled to find them on Zappos. They were a great price and arrived in 2 days on a Tuesday even though I ordered them on a Sunday night. I highly recommend these shoes and Zappos.

Exactly right! I wear an orthotic, and by buying a 1/2 size larger than I normally wear, the shoes fit perfectly. The leather is very soft, but the style of the shoe supports my foot very well. I want the other color now!

Funky & comfortable - This is my first pair of Josef Seibel shoes. I will absolutely be on the lookout for more. I stand on my legs all day, and so comfort is extremely important.

Comfortable shoe - I enjoyed these from the start. No break in period they are soft and comfortable right out of the box. They are a bit smaller than the actual size. They look great with capris.

OMG! I love these shoes~! I JUST got my shoes today, and I absolutely love it! To help the consumers get a better description than "they are great"... It would be good to know that they DO fit kind of snug. They recommend a size larger, but I am a 7 1/2 with sports shoes and depending on the dress shoe brand I can fit a 7. This shoe was sold out in an 8, so I tried the 7-7.5 and it fit just fine. I thought the sandal would be a little tough and hard to walk in but it wasn't! Its soft and has good cushion for long walks. I'm thinking of getting some additional arch support though. Maybe the company will improve on that next. Hope this helps! I am definitely going to try out another Seibel sandal!

A true classic fisherman sandal. This is my 2nd pair of Josef Seibel Genevas. I LOVE the look, the comfort, (once they are broken in) and the carefree style, which I wear year round. I walked all over England with them and they were so comfortable. I suggest that you break them in before any long excursions. They are a bit tight in the beginning but being the great leather that they are, they will surely wrap themselves nicely around your feet. I hope they NEVER go out of style. A true classic.

My second pair - I found these online and bought a second pair as they were still available. I bought my first pair 3+ years ago and have worn them everyday since – first for walking shoes, then as house slippers. The soles/arch supports are quite soft and did wear significantly, so I put supports in the old pair a year ago. The leather and stitching on the old pair are in perfect condition after 3 years.

Enjoying Josef Seibel Geneva Shoes - Shoes arrived on a very timely basis. As always, these shoes are well crafted with soft pliant leather. I wear orthotics and they fit beautifully. Working in a hospital requires shoes that do not slip or slide on the floors. Again, these are perfect! Great for walking, going out for dinner. Wonderful all around look. I highly recommend them for older women as well as young women. Beautiful shoe. I will definitely buy them again.

Best of the best - I have had foot trouble for three years now and need a good well made shoe. I have found this shoe with Josef Seibel shoes. This Geneva shoe is so comfortable and I have had many compliments on my shoes. Thank you...

Just beautiful! This shoe is well constructed and very nice looking. It is more fitted to the foot, unlike my other Josef Seibel shoes, and required some breaking in, although once worn a few times, they feel like old friends. The shoe is not as roomy in the toe box as you might expect, and the sizing clearly runs small, so don't assume that they will fit like others of this same brand. This is a sharp looking shoe that can easily be dressed up or dressed down.

Great shoe - I have problem feet, but I was able to wear this shoe all day. It should receive the nomination because it was "ready to go on day one".

These are great shoes! I bought these mainly for travel but now I think they will become my new everyday sandals. On a trip to Savannah and Charleston for a week, I wore them everyday to walk the 2 cities. I never broke them in before the trip and they were extremely comfortable from the first day I wore them. I did take the precaution to line the back with mole foam in case they chafed my heel. I really love the look and the feel. I would definitely buy another pair.

I love this shoe. I wear an 11 and had to return the first pair for a larger size. There is no arch support, but my full sole orthotic fits easily in this shoe. I was also pleasantly surprised that it fit my narrow foot with the strap on the tightest hole.

Most comfortable shoe I've ever worn - Before buying my first pair of Josef Seibel shoes, I had already been fitted by foot doctor and bought insole at the cost of $400. I never could wear them. I hurt a lot worse. I bought my first Josef Seibel's Fisherman’s shoes from Zappos. I have since, bought 2 more pair and I will continue to buy these shoes from them as long as they sell them. I am 77 years old. I can try to go back to my other shoes and my feet start hurting. I wear these shoes with or without socks or hose. People ask me where I bought these shoes. I am a walking advertisement for your company.

Great multi purpose shoe - I wear a size 8 1/2, so I ordered a size 39, had to send them back and get a size 40. I love these shoes. I can wear them with jeans, shorts, capris or even a sun dress. Very classy looking!

Georgia buyer - I ordered my usual size. When I first placed the shoe on my foot, it seemed a bit small (lengthwise) and not as comfortable as my Josef Seibel oxfords; however, after wearing the shoes twice, they felt perfect. Thank you, Zappos, for the quick delivery!!!!

Very comfortable from day one. Too tight for my orthotics, although the provided inserts are very comfortable. The buckle on one shoe has already frayed stitching on the strap, the one disadvantage so far. Very light, good traction, highly recommended!

Great Shoe, Awesome Service - I have never heard of Josef Seibel shoes before but I will remember it now. Shoe fit perfectly, comfortable fit from the minute I put it on. Excellent quality. Zappos is the best. I ordered this on a holiday and still had it the next day on my doorstep. Can't beat their policy!!
