Customer Reviews Dunham Burlington Waterproof

Great shoes, great service - I'm a 4E, so my selections are limited. I'm a Dunham/New Balance Man! The way I shopped in the past was to look for the size at the end of the box and then open it up to see if I liked the shoe. Zappos makes it easy for me. Super web site.

This shoe has classic styling and is very comfortable. I ordered both a black pair and a brown pair at the same time. Although both are the same size and width, the black pair feels true to size and width while the brown pair feels almost a size too large. However, they are both very comfortable and stylish.

Awesome shoe for wide feet - This is an excellent, durable shoe. I'm still wearing the pair I bought in October 2004 but they don't look "spiffy" enough for work now so I needed a new pair. Also, can't say enough good things about Zappos. Made an exchange without question and shipped overnight! So quick & easy. Will definitely do business again, especially as they carry 6E shoes!

Dunham Battery Park - Took a while to break in. I have trouble finding good shoes due to sore metatarsals and high arches. I liked the Dunham 9100 (Bradford) but that was discontinued. These are nicer but not as cushioned. Once broken in however, I really like them. I wear power step slim fit orthotics and they fit very nicely.

Good comfortable shoes - Good comfortable shoes are hard to find in my size. Thank you for having these available. I wear them for performances and am on my feet for several hours at a time. These really work well for me. At the end of a concert, my feet still feel good!

Very nice shoe. Very comfortable and sturdy.

Great shoe all around. Right out of the box the shoe was wearable without hurting my feet even after a long day standing/walking. After a few days the shoe really looks great, too - fantastic comfort and support in a size that's hard to find anything in, let alone something this comfortable in this price range. Only complaint I had at first was how hard the laces were to manage, but after a few days they're great also.

Great shoe, fit is better than most shoes I have tried on when going to nearby shoe stores. I think Zappos has a big advantage having a larger inventory to select from. I received them under 24hrs, it was only 16hrs? and Fed Ex got them to me. I was hoping my ankle wouldn’t rub on the shoe and it didn’t, thank God! I have been looking for a dress/casual shoe for such a long time. Thanks Zappos!!!

Dunham's - These shoes are the best fitting shoe I've had in many years, very comfortable, light in weight.

Best shoe buying experience ever! I needed a pair of dress shoes in a hurry. I am familiar with the Dunham line. I queried my size on the internet. Zappos.com popped up. The free overnight shipping caught my eye. I called and discussed the order. My Zappos rep was excellent. She explained the whole process to me and we placed the order in just minutes. The next day the shoes arrived. They fit perfectly. I wore them to a four day business seminar. I am a Zappos customer for life. With the selection of products they have, there is no reason for me to leave my home to go shopping again! I will recommend Zappos to everyone I know!

Terrific Shoes - I ordered the Dunham Battery Park Waterproof Oxfords a few years ago and had them sent to my son who does a lot of walking. He had been wearing Nunn Bush before but I took a chance because I liked the look and description of the Dunham’s. He told me that this is the only shoe he ever had that he could put on and walk long distances immediately in comfort. The size and width is true, the look is dressy or casual, and he's very happy with them. The only problem encountered was finding replacement shoe laces in 40 length but one phone call to Zappos and the problem was remedied. The manufacturer sent the laces at no charge.

Frank B - A solid leather, good looking shoe. Very good for business casual look. To break them in I wore two pair of socks for the first few days. The width size ran a little large--I ordered a 4E (my normal size) and probably should have gone with a 3E or 2E.

Dunham shoes are a real find - The shoes were comfortable and fit well. They have a roomy instep, so my orthotic was comfortable. The removable inner sole is great because I can insert my orthotic under it and it still feels good. The only draw back so far is that the shoe has a bit of a tennis sneaker smell after a hard day, more than any of my other shoes. The waterproof claim was substantiated during the recent snowstorm. Nice and dry. This is dressy enough for office work, but cushioned enough for my tired old feet. The Zappos free shipping is the real deal. I needed to try out several pairs before I found the Dunham Battery. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Dunham is a street shoe brand for New Balance athletic shoes, which I have worn for years, so it has a great heritage.

I have had a number of Dunham (and before that, New Balance/Dress) shoes over the years, and I'd say this is more or less typical. It does run slightly on the heavy side, partly the thick soles, and they have so far been extremely durable. Stitching is reasonable, though not in the Allen-Edmonds/Italian shoe type class, but then the price is 1/2. I would note a couple of problem areas for me: 1. The back liner material tends to wear out quickly. It develops holes, and it's kind of light-weight/low strength compared to earlier NB shoes. 2. The back/top is not very well padded, so this is not an instantly wearable shoe. Your feet need to break in a bit. But otherwise, a generally very solid shoe, typical to better than most shoes in its class. The Rockports this competes with are lighter, but not generally as comfortable. I do wish, however, that they would bring back the older New Balance variants, as those were both lighter and more comfortable than this one. Still, in today's shoes, this one is a good selection.

I bought these shoes because they look nice and I own another pair built by Dunham which I like. I have to tell you though this shoe is very uncomfortable. The walking platform is very hard and my feet get very warm because they just don't breathe. Only good thing is they look nice, but lack comfort. This is my opinion...obviously there are other reviewers who like them. Sorry I can't say the same.

These size 9 6E Dunham Burlington shoes are well made, comfortable and exceed all my expectations. I like them so well that I bought 2 more pair that I have stashed in the closet for future use. I worn them every day delivering mail for the past year and they are outperforming all shoes I've previously worn doing the same job. They are a little pricey but worth every penny.

I have wide feet (6E) and a high arch. Dunham Burlington shoes (9x6E) fit my usual 8 1/2x6E feet so well that I ordered the last 3 pairs that were in stock. They fit as if molded to my foot. And, they are well built and look good. A little pricey, but worth every penny. Zappos service is unbelievable! They went way above my expectations. I am recommending Zappos to all my friends. The world would be a better place if all business's worked like Zappos.

I'm the epitome of flat, narrow, low-volume feet and really notice shoes that aren't true to size. They were initially hard on the feet, but actual sizing felt accurate, and after a brutal 2 week break-in (especially heels), they became hands-down the most supportive and comfortable shoes I own. They still look new and feel great after a year of veterinary work too. Cons? Not a versatile style aka the ~$10 cheaper Dunham Windsors, which I also really like. Waterproof leather polishes easily, doesn't breathe so well. Comfortable, well-made, and dressy is a rare combo at any price.

I bought these shoes for my son who wears size 14 shoes and he could not believe how comfortable they were the first time he wore them. I thought he would have sore feet for the first few times he wore them and he did not. He has worn them several times and he has never had one complaint about them and he is very picky to please when it comes to shoes because it is hard to find good and comfortable shoes in his size. He is very pleased with these shoes and it is just wonderful that Zappos has lots of shoes in the bigger shoe sizes to pick from. These shoes are very good looking, comfortable, and fit perfectly. We have not seen any signs of scuffing either.

Too Narrow - I bought these shoes for my dad. He wears size 11 B-narrow width. The length was great but the narrow was too tight. He was going to get the D-medium width but there were no more in stock. He has returned them and will get something else. But overall, he said the shoes were comfortable and true to size.

Mixed bag - The shoes felt great the 1st time I wore them, but actually blistered the side of my heel badly. I was unable to wear any normal fitting shoe for a week. However, after my heel healed I wore them again and they again felt great and did not cause another blister. They also look great.

Excellent Fit - I bought these shoes for my son and these are the most comfortable shoes he has had. I will definitely be ordering from Zappos again.

A little on the wide side - I wear a 14 4E and was a former Rockport lover, but recently their wide shoe selection or lack there of has disappointed me. Luckily, I found a great replacement in Dunham. The Battery Park is a nice dressy and comfortable shoe. I would only have two complaints. The first is that these shoes do run a little wide. I have purchased Dunham's before so I know how their widths fit. Nothing that a thicker sock won't remedy. The other, as another review had mentioned, is that around the "ankle opening" it is a little rough and may cause some irritation which I'm sure will disappear with wear. Hope this helps!

Shoe not sized as marked - This was the 4th pair of these shoes that I've purchased. The previous ones were all great and I highly recommend them as a daily wearer for a commuter with a fair amount of walking as part of the commute. However, this last pair was NOT the size that the shoes and the box were marked. Putting them up against my last pair sole to sole, the soles were a full half inch narrower and about 1/4" shorter. They were clearly a different sized shoe, and not just a manufacturing variance. Needless to say, Zappos took care of the exchange quickly and I got another pair (same size markings) 2 days later that were properly sized.

I have always had problems getting a fit. These are the first slip-ons I have had success with. Zappos policies make it easy to try various shoes without risk.
