It is the perfect combination of leather, and stretch material. Unfortunately, it was even uglier in my size (41) than I had feared. I guess I will go back to my old Merrell mary janes.

Comfy... for a while -
These shoes are VERY comfortable right out of the box. I have only two complaints: one, they make my wide foot look even wider, and they do stretch, so that over time they may get too loose for you. They did for me, and now my foot kind of slides forward as I walk and generally does not feel firmly planted in the shoe.

Love these shoes. Recoveriing from bunion surgery and waiting for other foot to be done. Needed comfortable shoes for a still swollen foot and one with a bunion for a particular function and these fit the bill. I had to walk a good distance and these provided the comfort I was looking for and very much needed. Love Josef Seibel shoes!

My mom has trouble with hammer toes and bunions. Surgery is out of the question due to other health complications. These shoes are perfect for her with the soft fabric top and heavy duty gripping soles. The only shoes she wears during rough CO winters. They don't look like orthopedics but that's the function they serve.

This shoe is comfortable and looks great. With large bunions on both feet, it is difficult to find shoes that look good and feel good. I am extremely happy with this purchase.

I suffer with chronic lower back pain which causes pain in both legs and feet. I was introduced to the Kelsey comfort shoe by an associate (Jean, Dillard's store, Daytona Beach) that assured me the Josef Seibel shoe would meet my need. I wanted a comfortable, durable, long-lasting shoe. I got more than that! I tried the shoe on; immediately I could feel the pain subsiding in my back, legs and feet. It was unbelievable. I walked around with them on, to see if what I was experiencing was real. It was! The pain was gone! Honestly, I could not believe that after a year of therapy, pain medications, doctor bills, etc., all I needed was a pair of Josef Seibel's comfort shoes. Needless to say, I bought the shoes with the money that I would have used for my next prescription!

This is a wonderful shoe. Understated in appearance, but great dressed up or down. I really like the textural contrast of the material and the leather. Super comfortable. Felt great from the first day I put them on. I plan to purchase more. My only wish would be that there was a bit more arch support, but I have higher arches than most people.

Great casual shoe -
These shoes are attractive, comfortable, and a great all purpose shoe. The stretch fabric and leather combination make for a perfect fit. My feet run on the narrow side, and they fit well. These replaced a similar pair I had for years, but I like these even better.

Awesome Service. Great Shoe.
I have worn Josef Seibel for years and own five pair of Seibel's. I have RA and wear custom orthotics, therefore I order a size larger than usual (half size larger by American measurements). I love these shoes. Perfect for business casual. I ordered them on Saturday and received them on Monday - unbelievable! I put them on Tuesday morning and am half way through the first day, so far so excellent! If you want superior service, order from Zappos. If you want a comfortable shoe, order Seibel’s.

Terrific casual shoe -
I do a lot of walking, so I need comfortable shoes. These have a narrow heel and width across the front of the foot. I could wear them right out of the box.

I bought these shoes because I had an old pair of Seibels that were very similar, so I knew what size to order. The old ones had a little more leather on top, but the footprint is exactly the same. They fit like a glove, and are the only dress shoes I have that I can walk more than a few yards in. They've held up really well. The only reason I rated the new ones overall 4 stars is that I don't know how well the stretchy fabric on top will clean up -- I rate conservatively.

After starting a new job that required me to be on my feet constantly, a coworker suggested these to me after hearing I was diagnosed with tendinitis & inflamed ligaments in both feet after only five weeks on the job. These did wonders for the severe pain and swelling, but they came with a downside: the excessive room in the toes caused my toes to ache, and eventually, lead to giant black bruises beneath the nail on my biggest toes. Tonight, I noticed that one of the large toenails has separated along the bottom and will likely be falling off shortly. Comfort, sure.. until your toenails fall off.

I just got my pair of "Kelsey" shoes and after wearing them for an entire day of walking around, I am happy. I usually wear a wide 8 shoe, but these 8's (39) fit and are very comfortable. I like the look of the leather and fabric and the generous toe box. Like most Seibel's, it could have a little more arch support but that can be fixed with an insert.

I love this shoe! Felt great right out of the box. I'm a flight attendant, always looking for a comfortable, supportive inflight shoe. This one fits the bill perfectly! I own several Seibels, great comfort shoes.

These shoes are great! Very comfy, and roomy enough for an orthotic, if needed. Two thumbs up! A little "chunky" looking, but not enough to deter me from keeping them.

Wanted to keep these but although the size was right they pushed down on my great toe and I knew that would soon present a comfort issue.

As someone else said, this shoe is a great shoe for someone dealing with bunions. The shoe is very comfortable. It has flexibility and the heel is not too high. The shoe looks professional and is good for walking long distances or for standing in a museum. My only reservation is that the shoe seems a little short in length from other other Siebel shoes I have had in the same size.

These are handsome shoes. They are well-made, from nice materials. I ordered my usual size and the length was good, However, the heels slipped badly, although they fit well in the forefront. The insole is not removable, and my full-length insole raised my feet up too high in the heel, compounding the slippage. I think that if the shoes had more leather, and less neophrene, they would provide both more lateral support and prevent forward movement. As it is, my feet rather slide around in these shoes. A smaller size would not solve that issue for me. The shoes sit just under, barely touching, my ankle bone. But if the material was any stiffer, it would be bothersome after awhile. Too bad!

I had a pair like this in all leather, and I am still wearing them. Because the company no longer makes them in leather, I bought this shoe instead. Sadly, they stretched out after a short time, and now the heel slips terribly. I tried various insoles, but nothing helped. Why can't Josef Seibel go back to the all leather version?

I read all the reviews and liked the style so I was hoping these shoes would fit like a glove, as so many stated. They actually felt a little wide (I wear a 9½ medium but sometimes a narrow). But these shoes made my feet look very wide. All of that I could have lived with but for one thing: the shoes seemed to be pressing down on my big toes and pinching. That was something that I did not see written anywhere - and I do not have big toes. I hope I can find more stylish yet comfortable walking shoes. So far I have had pretty good luck with Zappos so I will keep trying.
