Customer Reviews Circa Joan & David Yavin

I really loved this shoe. It was comfortable and not to high a wedge, but the toe area was extremely long and the shoe was too big. I didn't think a change in size would affect the long toe part. It is a pretty shoe and I am looking for something similar.

So cute, except -- and I know this sounds odd -- my heel and the heel of the shoe are in different places, and it made for a wobbly walk. I was sad to send them back.

I think the shoe is beautiful and I won't return them even though they are somewhat tight because of my bunions. Also I must wear band aids on my heels or the shoe causes blisters. They will work if I'm not going to do any walking to speak of.

Absolutely loved these shoes BUT they wouldn't stay on. They kept slipping off my heel! I wanted these so badly but just couldn't walk in them. If they had stayed on my feet, I would have given them 5 Stars across the board.

Classy looking shoes but I have a wide foot and the heel slides off even w/heel inserts. Disappointing if you order a wide shoe. If you have an average foot it may be fine.

The uppers are beautiful exactly what I was looking for but the heel is narrow, unstable and rounded made of a slippery hard plastic. Which makes it a sprained ankle in the making. If the heel were wider and the edges squared off and made of a soft rubber I would have felt more secure in them.

I bought these shoes to wear for work. I stand and walk for 10 hours per day. These are very comfortable and have moderate arch support. While the wedge heels look nice and thick, I have worn the heel down to the point it is starting to crack after only six weeks of daily wear. They are not recommended for high mileage.

I got lured into the siren song of a comfortable, stylish shoe. I really wanted to believe that this shoe would be "the best." I now own a pair, because I wore them thinking they were fine...and ended up with blisters. I can't return them now...so I'll make do. But I will have to get inserts for the bottom and heel pads for the back. A few years ago I bought a pair of Softspots that took me, literally, around the world -- Europe, India, the Philippines. I was hoping, based on the reviews that these shoes would be equal to the task, and yet...better looking. They are okay. Not awful, but not anywhere close to great either. And based on the price...it makes me feel a little more sour. They are coming to Europe with me...but like I said, after I doctor them a bit. I probably would never buy another pair of Circa Joan & David after this experience.

Potentially fine little day-shoe the suede and patent combo is nice, but they have extremely slippery soles. Could not use for fear of falling.

I got these in size 6 from Macy's. They run half a size smaller, but make your feet look longer. They look graceful, chic, and professional, and felt good on my feet at the store, but by the end of the first day I wore them to work, the back of my feet were bleeding, and I got blisters on my toes. The scars on the back and side of my feet are still here a year later. I can still wear the shoes with moleskin wrapped around my feet, it's inconvenient, but they do look great and perfect for special occasions. Pros: wide heels with good traction allows easy walking in, shoes stay on well. They look great! Cons: rubbing! Too bad they don't come in Wide.

Runs large and gives little support. I was desperate and kept them; however, after four full days wearing them the rubber sole is wearing out. Looks cheap.

These were great fitting when they first arrived, but quickly stretched out, which was a huge bummer because they were so comfortable at first. Moral: buy smaller.

I really wanted to like these shoes. I needed a new pair of black shoes and saw the effusive reviews about these, so felt it was worth investing the money. However, I wore them to work once and with just the little bit of walking I had to do my feet were killing me. The shoes rubbed in a number of places. I had to put bandaids on to make it through the day. I'm not sure what to do now, since I can't return them. Make sure you wear these around the house before you decide whether to keep them.

I had bought this pair and loved them so much that I bought a "back up" pair. When the first pair wore out from use, I busted out the "new" pair. To my dismay, the new pair had a FELT bottom rather than the rubber bottom that made these shoes so practical. Not only was it disappointing it made the footing slippery and dangerous to wear.

Unfortunately this shoe has begun to "squeak" and "click" when I wear it. I've tried powder which has not worked. I recently took it to the shoe repair shop where I learned that because the sole is glued and made of a rubber-like material, there is no way to repair these defects. I would not suggest this particular style even though it is a good looking shoe and pretty comfortable, there is the possibility of the same issues I've encountered.

This shoe is wonderful for those with a long narrow foot like mine. Most shoes marked narrow are too wide for me. This shoe is comfortable, stylish, stays on my foot, and has room for my long toes. The sole is cushy, and I can walk forever while wearing these. I bought my first pair last year. They still look new although I wear them almost every day. I was happy when I found a second pair in my size. It is two o’clock in the morning. I am taking no chances. My order is in.

I ordered these shoes in a narrow but when I got them and tried them on they were too wide. My heel was slipping and I couldn't keep them on. I returned these.

Don't know if someone bought the old Joan and David name but this is such a cheap version. Too small, the microfibre feels like cardboard. Cute but awful; will never purchase this brand again.

These shoes are not at all comfortable. I chose the shoes for comfort and they cut up my feet. I am more than willing to send a picture. They were a disappointment something I have rarely experienced with Zappos.

Not as described. Runs narrow in the toe. Very slippery bottom. Felt like sole with some rubber on heel and outlined. Wore these to work so now can't return, but will never purchase another pair by this company again. Very disappointed with this product. Save your money and don't purchase these shoes.
