Customer Reviews Circa Joan & David Yavin

This is a wonderfully surprising shoe. New brand for me, was looking for something fashion forward looking with skinny pants, dresses, midi skirts that I can wear with my bone spurs and arthritis in my big toe joints. (I am a 42 year old Jimmy Choo, YSL, Prada lover but they killed my feet.) This fit the bill and is extremely comfortable and quite good looking.

I hate flats, and I actually like this one. It's not only extremely comfortable but also this comes with a very professional look. I've been wearing this pair for about 2 years, and I've abused this and it's still in good condition. The heels are a bit worn off, well after 2 years of daily abuse. I am very picky with shoes and I highly recommend anyone who wants to have a black pair of flats for work.

I am such a fan of these shoes that I bought a second pair. They are stylish and comfortable. The perfect shoe for just about any occasion.

These shoes look great. I wish they came in more colors. I wore them all day at work without any major problems. I do get compliments. They are simple with a bit of height which I do like. I would recommend them. They felt true to size. I have bunions so they make my feet look smaller without pinching. I usually wear size 8.5 or 9. Size 8.5 in W wasn't available so I decided to purchase the 8.5 M, and they still fit fine. I think size 9 would've been a bit big on me.

These shoes are shockingly comfortable, especially for something with a small heel. I wore them around my apartment for a while, when deciding which of three pairs of black "flats" to keep. Unfortunately, another pair one out (these are a bit dressy for every day wear with jeans), but I think I'll be picking them up the next time I have a little extra spending money. Bonus: The top portion of the shoe is both structured enough to be attractive, but flexible enough to be very comfortable. I have a bunion on my left foot, and these did not bother that foot in the slightest -- great heeled shoe for someone with foot issues, for sure.

My girlfriend loved this shoe. It fits very true to size, so if your half size, get the half not the full size up. Very, Very comfortable for a dressy shoe.

This is the fourth pair I've purchased. The shoe is extremely comfortable and stylish. I wear with suits and jeans. I've bought at least four pairs over the years. I usually have two pairs in the closet as they do stretch after a while and I wear them constantly. For example, I may wear them to the office and then change to heels. I keep a good pair and a casual pair "tightened" with back-of-the-heel cushions or socks. The shoe never gets very stretched out, just enough to make an older pair more comfortable for those days when my edema flairs. The fabric upper holds it's shape and never gets shabby. I only discard a pair when the sole at the heel shows wear. Note: I wear a wide width. I tried a medium width thinking it would stretch quickly enough to make a long lasting perfect fit. It didn't work. Not one of my better ideas. It's silly to buy and wear an uncomfortable shoe on the chance it will become the perfect fit and worn a few weeks longer. Buy true to size. I highly recommend this versatile shoe.

I love the look and feel of this shoe. I get tons of compliments. A great black work shoe. I am still breaking them in as they dig a little at my heel.

These are great shoes but I have a weak ankle and need very good arch support. I read some of the other reviews and thought they would work. Unfortunately, they don't support my arch well enough to wear so I had to return them. Sniff! They really look good too.

Amazingly comfortable! It feels like a sneaker but looks nice a dressy for everyday. I wear them all day and don't even feel like putting on my slippers when I get home.

These are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. I have a nasty bunion on one foot and these fit over it well and they are cut high enough that my toes don't show. And with all that, they are very stylish. Great shoes.

Love these shoes, just ordered a second pair as backup. The style is really cute and the shape of the toe is nice and dressy and the small wedge gives them just enough of a heel to start elongating your legs. The material (basically some synthetic fabric) gives these a slightly more casual look, I do wish they were available in leather. The back of the heel is covered in a material that looks like patent leather. I think this is good so that it will protect the back of the shoes when I'm driving. I wore these shoes for a bunch of evenings out around the city on a recent trip to Seoul and they remained relatively comfortable all night. The only drawback that I really care about is that these shoes are pretty slippery when walking on smooth surfaces (not enough traction on the sole), so I have to be extra careful in some cases.

Fabulous shoes. I'm on my second pair and would buy more if they came in other colors. (Why don't they?) Comfortable, versatile, flattering.

These shoes look very nice on. I found them to be just a bit too short, although the width (a narrow) was good. They are going back. Thanks Zappos for the free shipping both ways.

Love these shoes! Wish they were available in other colors. This is one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

Super comfy. Can be dressed up or down, but either way look very sharp!

I love these shoes and am on my 2nd pair. They are so comfortable and versatile. I wear them to the office or can wear them for an evening out.

True to size, cute, great height, and comfortable. Unfortunately I'm returning them because the right side is clearly larger than the left side. I compared the shoes back to back so it's definitely the shoes and not my feet. Also had it confirmed w my boyfriend.

I usually order narrow width but this was not available, so I tried this in medium. It felt & looked great but my heel kept popping out. I am going to try 1/2 size smaller and see if it will work for me.

Love these shoes. I ordered two sizes and kept the other one - seems true to size and comfortable.

These shoes are so comfortable and chic. I wear them to work all day where I'm walking nonstop between buildings. I also wear them out of the office since they pretty much go with everything!

I love this shoe. I have worn out 3 pair, and I will soon order another pair. They last at least 2 years and I wear them often. They are very appropriate for work and looking great and feeling great.

This shoe was comfort right out of the box! No break-in period req'd. Wish it came in other colors but I love black anyhow. As others have mentioned, the soles are slippery on tile, hardwood, glossy flooring. A bit of a hazard and I plan to buy the non-slip pad for the sole. Never had that happen before. Otherwise, love the shoe and am tempted to order a second pair before they're not available. Sometimes you just find 'that right shoe' and when it's gone...it's gone.

The shoes fit me like a glove, look wonderful and are very comfortable. I'm up in years but still want to be fashionable... and comfortable.

These are great shoes. They are comfortable and stylish. I cannot wear higher heels due to knee surgery and find these to be stylish with dresses and pants. I am very happy to have found them and I will order another pair!
