Customer Reviews Tsubo Acrea

I bought this shoe in 3 colors. Normally I wear a 9.5. The black shoe was 1/2 a size too large, and the chocolate and mid-brown pairs were each a touch loose. In no case did my achilles actually reach the heel strap. It felt like I was wearing clogs and I looked like a kid wearing her mother's heels. I plan to size down to a 9, because these seemed pretty comfortable otherwise. They have a stable heel, and plenty of room for the bones in the ball of my foot.

I work in a bank. I have to look professional while spending a lot of time on my feet. I am so very happy with the comfort. The look is also professional enough for most outfits. Wow, are they comfortable.

I've had these for almost three years now and they are absolutely, bar none, the most comfortable tall shoes I've ever had. I've bumped into several folks wearing them and they all concur; miraculous. Great, great shoes! PS. I think there's a reason they're still making the exact same shoe. They're perfect.

I love them, I love them, I love them! Saw someone with these shoes some time ago but was out of work and couldn't afford them. So happy to see them here - and happy to be working so I could buy them. Will be buying other colors soon!

I love these shoes and I was so excited to get them- I tried them on and wore them around the house- very comfortable BUT the heel strap is just a bit too long, so my heel felt like it was constantly slipping out. I could take them on and off without undoing the strap, which would be okay if it was designed to fit like that, but it just feels like they are constantly slipping off. I have to return them. Also I would say 3 stars overall because this strap is so sadly too long. I couldn't change it.

Very cute shoes, and seemed comfortable when I first put them on. But the first time, and only time I wore them out, the lining by the toes started to come up and caused horrible blisters. Within the first 20 minute of wearing them, the lining fell apart.

Flirty and functional. These shoes are super comfortable and very vintage stylish. The only downside is the heel has a very slippery bottom. Solved that at my local cobbler for a low cost.

These shoes are great! I don't wear heels very often and was happy to find that these shoes are pretty comfortable. There's plenty of room for my toes!

I really wanted to like these shoes. They have great support, very cushy, the only issue was across the bridge of my toes. I have stubby toes so maybe that is it. Possibly a Cobbler could have stretched them. I'll try this brand again in another style. I do agree, that they run about 1/2 size large.

I'm in love with these shoes! For too many years I crammed my poor feet into cute shoes that, over time, ruined my feet. Church or out to dinner was about the maximum time I could endure in heels and even then I was limping the next day. I saw these and thought, maybe? Yes! These are brilliant right out of the box. The angle for your big toe is not extreme. The toe box is roomy and the vamp does not cut into my foot across the toe joint. They're fashionable, they're high heels and I could (and will) dance with happiness in these shoes. Thank you Tsubo! I'll do testimonials for you.

I flat-out LOVE this heel! It doesn't feel like a "high heeled shoe" at all. I could see myself walking or standing in this without complaints. It is sturdy, has no uncomfortable rubbing spots, and there is plenty of room in the toe box, without being too large. Further, the rubber sole does its part to discourage slips. Additionally, the instep strap adds an extra support, which helps alleviate some of the balance from the ankles. My ONLY complaint with this shoe is the color palette. I would love to see the black in an interesting texture, the "Elephant" (grey) with a slight metallic sheen, and maybe a patent leather green or something unusual. Net/net: These are a fantastic choice for business and "utilitarian" purposes. I wouldn't give them high marks for sex appeal, but if paired with a great pair of legs and an amazing skirt, the shoes will fade into the background. If that's what you're looking for, look no further.

Heels are not a part of my regular wardrobe. My feet are a challenge to fit. I bought these to wear for my daughter's upcoming wedding, and am pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they are. The size 9 was a little big, so I traded for an 8.5, which fits comfortably.

I'm not a very graceful heel-wearer, but the platform-ish style and chunky heel make me feel stable and give me the height I'm looking for. Most notable about these shoes is that there was no need to break them in. I haven't done any long distance walking with them, but I've stood in them for 2-3 hours at a time without any discomfort. I also like the peekaboo pink, which makes these a little different from your basic black pump, but is also subtle enough to not clash with colors that might not necessarily vibe with pink.

These are wonderful shoes. They look great, the chocolate brown color goes with lots of different outfits, the toe box is ROOMY allowing facilitating all-day comfort (can't say that about many shoes), and the style is classic, yet unique. The only negatives: the sling back doesn't stay on the foot as snugly as I wish it would and the suede heel is funky looking. Wish it was the same leather as the upper.

I love this shoe, its absolutely comfortable without sacrificing style. However, I recommend everyone at least order a half size smaller since it definitely ran large on my foot.

I just returned from a tradeshow in Frankfurt where I was on my feet for 12+ hours standing on an unpadded tradeshow floor, five days straight. If you've ever worked a tradeshow, you know how far you have to walk each day at an exposition center. You feet swell and your legs ache. I have two pair of the Tsubo Acrea, and after this show, I'm getting another pair. By far, this is one of my best purchases for business. The shoe looks great with tights and a skirt. I notice women typically think that flats would be more comfortable for standing, but I find that my shin & calf ache more without a bit of a heel. This shoe has a hidden platform so the heel-height-to-toe slant is minimal, in my opinion. My foot felt comfortable as the angle was not severe. Even though the shoe is cushioned, my only recommendation is to add an extra gel pad (clear) in the ball of the foot. This provides more cushion, as well as prevents slipping within the shoe when wearing tights/stockings.

BEAUTIFUL shoe. Gorgeous color, nice quality leather, well made. As other reviewers have noted, the heel does run a bit wide and that's why I had to return them. But, I WISH they worked. Give 'em a try!

Color is not as pictured on the brown! I thought the brown was a darker color when it is actually very light, more of a light camel or khaki color. Otherwise, awesome look and comfortable shoe!!! The back strap is really comfortable and is so wide that it covers most of the heel.

Have shoe in several colors from previous season. Like the style and comfort so much that I ordered in both and elephant and infinity. I am returning both shoes because they have cheapened the construction to a point where it now lacks the sophistication that the earlier colors (black, dark brown, and brown) exhibit. The suede cover on the heel has been replaced with an cheap colored denim material. In addition, the denim material has been incorporated into the arch which will most likely cause abrasion to the foot. Too bad that they did not continue with the same design as the colors of the leather are beautiful. The denim dresses the shoe down to a point where it needs to be worn with pants or jeans or a very casual skirt, yet the style of the shoe lends to wearing more with dresses.

I wanted to like these; I really did. When I first put them on, they felt great. But when I wore them the next day for work, I thought I might cry by 10am! There were no tight spots or rubbing...something about it made my arches scream. Not sure if the arch just hit in the wrong place (for my foot) or if the rigid forefoot was to blame, but, sadly, these had to be returned.

These are the most unbelievably uncomfortable shoes. I put them on once I got to work, had them on for less than 30 minutes and had to change back into my sandals that I had worn in that day. It's too bad because they are great looking, but it's also too bad to spend money on a pair of shoes you can never wear.

Adorable shoes but the back strap was too loose and I have to return them. I need stability and security when I walk and these didn't provide that for the cost. Still love Zappos!
