Customer Reviews Circa Joan & David Yavin

These might literally be the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. My left foot is half a size larger than my right. I bought them to fit the smaller foot, then wore them for about 20 min. with a small running sock on the larger foot. They "gave" just enough and now are perfect. Stylish without a spiked heel, comfortable enough to wear all day!

These shoes are amazing! I normally am a size 6 but basing from other reviews, I bought a size 5.5. They felt tight the first 3-5 times of wearing it but it eventually stretch to what feels like a normal size 6 now. The heel height is perfect for walking around all day, very classy looking and the pointed toe adds a perfect feminine touch to it. I highly recommend these shoes, they are comfortable and perfect with slacks or dresses. I just wished they made them in different colors.

I bought these for a long trip. There was absolutly no break-in period. Although I did buy a half size larger, which I normally do with Joan & David. Very comforable and easy to care for.

I love the fit of these shoes but they do turn the tip of my toes black. I'll keep them for the fit and comfort.

Oh, Oh, Oh! Heaven! I love these shoes! Super comfortable, stylish, neat and versatile. I will wear these with slacks and skirts and dresses. Will be good with tights and other leg wear. Zappos, you rock. I am a size 12-beautiful, neat , slimming. Thanks a million!

This is a GREAT, basic shoe. Extremely comfortable. The toe is slightly pointed, which gives it a more defined professional look. This is one of my go-to shoes!

These are incredibly comfortable, they work really well for travel and lots of walking. The pointed toe is flattering and makes the shoes work with either skirts or pants. They are relatively reasonably priced. Oddly after all these great things to say I am not keeping them since I already have a pair of wedges in suede that are very similar. I wish that I could toss them out and replace them with these.

This is a very 'Taryn Rose' type shoe with a low wedge heel, rubber, and matte microfiber upper with a slight stretch. Very comfortable.

Toe box much too short and narrow, going back. Sole was slippery. Styling was cute.

These are the absolute best black heels that I have ever bought. I am a hairstylist and am on my feet all day. It is hard to find heeled black shoes that are comfortable and still cute. These shoes have a natural stretch and are extremely comfortable! I can work a 10-12 hour booked solid day and my feet still feel great at the end of my shift. I love them so much that I bought another pair for when these wear out. If you want comfort and style this is it. I wear between a 9 and 9½ size. I bought a 9½ and they fit perfectly. They are a little slippery on the bottom and also have a felt pad that collects hair. But the benefits by far outweigh any con.

I love these shoes! My size was not available so I ordered half a size smaller just in case it might fit. It did not. If it becomes available I will jump on it.

I absolutely love these shoes! They are so gracefully shaped and classic looking. They have the comfort and feel of a flat, but are so much more graceful and elongating. The stretchy fabric allows the shoe to conform to the foot and fit snugly without being tight in any way. I appreciate that they came in a wide width. If they came in other colors, I would purchase one of each. I love these shoes!

These shoes seem super comfy. However, they run quite large. I usually wear a 6.5, sometimes a 7. I ordered both sizes just in case because I had to have them for an event. Sadly, both were way too large. I am returning both and ordered a 6 but I'm worried it won't get here in time. I hurt my back a couple of months ago and heels are out for now, so if I can just get the right size, I think these will be great. They can look casual or dressy without looking dowdy.

I was nervous about the pointed toe on my size 11, but it wasn't that bad! Looks good with slacks, skirts, and skinnies. Might buy some inserts for cushioning.

Very classic and classy shoe. I love the look. Comfortable for most days, but on a day when I walk a great deal, it rubs the back of my heel too much.

Very comfortable for problem feet. Does not hit bunion area. Nice with slacks; heel is rubber so not quite 'dressy'.

This is a super comfortable shoe and my lousy feet feel great in them. If you have a day when your on your feet for hours and need a more stylish shoe, this is a great option. Narrow feet might slip around in them but the mediums worked for me.

Love the shoes, but they are not narrow enough for me. I had to put in TWO of those heel pads to keep them from slipping off my heels.

I think the previous reviews are spot on. Great traveling shoes and good for those days when you are going for comfort instead of the wow factor for work. Style is more of a 3.75. It's very much a traditional look.

The style of the shoe is very modern and I like the almond toe as opposed to a rounded one. Unfortunately, the shoe rubs my toes and the back of my heel as I walk. Not only that, but I experience what another user experience: my feet would sweat making the rubbing worse. Other than that, I'm sure this shoe will work for the right foot. It's true to size and could be comfortable at times.

These look very dressy and can be worn with either a skirt or pants. The toe is moderately pointed, but not uncomfortably so, making it look quite elegant. They are reasonably comfortable and very stable to walk in.

I had been looking for comfortable yet professional shoes to wear to a conference and thought I had finally found a winner. These are the first shoes that didn't give me blisters when breaking them in. Super comfortable for everyday wear, but they didn't hold up to the conference test. I did less walking and standing than usual and still my feet were screaming in pain by the end of the day, with multiple blisters. I'll keep them for workday wear -- they look nicer than the picture -- but I'm going back to the drawing board to find conference shoes.

My commute involves plenty of walking and train catching. I wanted an alternative to wearing sneakers with my business clothes. I know everyone does it but it isn't for me. This shoe is a stylish alternative for me. It fits like a sneaker but matches perfectly with any business outfit...and jeans, too. I would like a second pair.

I have been looking for so long for a pair of black flats with some support and a shoe that I could wear to work. I wear a women size 5 which makes my search even tougher. Upon receipt, I wore my new shoes the next day, but by lunch time I had to wear my sneakers. The front of the shoe is a little too narrow and the back of the shoe rubbed my heals. Unfortunately, I had to send the shoes back the next day. I spoke with Gabby from customer service and she was awesome! Best customer service ever. Easy to ship back. I will continue to shop at Zappos! Great looking shoe.

Shoes look wonderful but were sized too large. The half size down was too small so I'm out of luck. Shoot!
