Customer Reviews Florsheim Curtis Bike Toe Oxford

I work in an office and wanted to get new dress shoes. I usually go to the dept store and buy something cheap, but now I wanted to buy something better. I think Florsheim is a good step up from the normal dept store shoes. They look nice, they fit comfortable, and the all leather lets my feet breath better. I recommend it.

The sizing on these shoes is waaaay off. I originally bought a size 9.5 because that's what I always wear. They were way too big and I exchanged them for a size 9. Those are still too big and when placed next to other shoes of mine that are size 9.5, the ostensibly smaller shoes are considerably longer than the 9.5s. I'm now exchanging for an 8.5 and hope that does the trick because in terms of style and comfort, they seemed great.

When I purchased a pair about four weeks ago and when I took them out of the box and put my feet in them I felt totally relaxed and comfortable. No stiffness, no break in required. My only difficulty was that I drove 600 miles in two days in them and after about a couple of hours of driving the shoe backs caused my heels to become very sore. I never had that problem with a Florsheim shoe before. I only buy Florsheims. I have had several pairs of Richfields (lace), 2 pr of Masons, and most recently a pr each of Thacker and Curtis. Every day short trips to work and shopping are no problem in the Curtis. For general wear, they feel like 5 year old shoes worn every day. I am slowly, with bordeau polish, trying change the color to burgundy-ish because I am not a fan of Brown. Because the Curtis brown is so light it will take a few polishings. But, in any case, they are a very handsome shoe. I am well satisfied.

I've had this very pair for 3 years now and have worn them daily to work and out in evenings. Really comfortable and very well-made! I've finally worn through the sole and I'm debating whether to get them resoled or buy another pair. Mine are a slightly lighter color than shown and look good with jeans or more dressed up, The square front toe just looks cool.

These shoes were perfect for my son who is 20 and has a small foot. We had tried a couple of other styles, and I cannot imagine any other company who could be this easy to work with. Zappos staff took care of everything so quickly and easily. Way to go Zappos. I'm a huge fan!

Great service. Tons of options. I called Zappos because I had a question about my order. They were quick to answer and resolve my problem. Very impressed with this organization.

This shoe is comfortable, stylish, and can be worn with jeans. I use this shoe for work and play. It is also wearing well as it get older.

My hubby is very hard to fit. He's got an extremely high instep as well as wide feet. We had bought these in brown and they fit perfectly. I went back and ordered a black pair. Also - perfect fit. The fact that we had free shipping and returns made it a no brainer. Running all over town to find a pair of shoes that worked was just not my cup of tea. Beautiful shoes and comfy.

Measure your foot in inches and then look at the size chart. It fits true to that measure. The shoes are nominally a size smaller than what I normally buy.

This is a great looking shoe. Comfortable right out of the box. I didn't like the laces, but that was an easy fix.

Comfortable after "worn-in." The back of the shoe digs into your heal.

In general this shoe provides a wide, stable, comfortable platform to get you through the day. The shape of the shoe makes the Curtis a little longer than you might expect for the size you wear but not awkwardly so. My only real complaint is the top of the heel was really stiff at first and dug into my heel. Some tape helped me avoid blisters until the leather softened. Given what I know now, I would buy this shoe again.

The length is longer than marked, at least half a size, maybe a full size. I buy wide shoes (EEE). This felt narrower than other wide shoes i have purchased. I'm hoping that the leather will stretch a bit more. So far not yet, but it's only been a few weeks. I bought these originally because of the price. Would I buy them again? Probably not.

Received this shoe with high expectations; after 10 hours of wear I'm returning it. Clunky Chinese construction that causes blisters on parts of my foot/ankle I've never had blisters (even during Army Bootcamp) and full rubber sole that is extraordinarily resistant to flexing. The insole is comfortable, but that's the only plus.

These are probably the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever owned. My Achilles were bleeding after 4 hours of wear.

The shoes are exactly as shown. Well-built, good quality, as you'd expect from Florsheim. They are solid shoes though, that have to be broken in a bit before they become completely comfortable.

These are pretty comfortable and I've gotten lots of complements on them. I purchased a pair in brown and the color is a little warmer than the picture online, which is an improvement. They start out tight and rubbed on the heel, but after a week or so of wearing they have loosened a bit and there is no more rubbing. I was impressed enough to recently buy a matching pair in black.

Run at least one size too large. Also, have a horrible odor that won't go away, shoes smelled like chemicals right out of the box. I assumed it would fade, but a month later, still bad. I wouldn't buy again.
