Customer Reviews Josef Seibel Douglas

Fits perfectly, even better than other Josef Seibel shoes. Bought two more when they came back in stock.

I have a triple E width in a medium shoe world, and these shoes have been perfect for my feet. They are light, comfortable, dressy and a great fit on my fat feet. I just need the same style, size 45 in a ox blood/cordovan or dark brown.

These are phenomenal. Just wow.... great design, great look and possibly the most comfortable shoes I own. Two thumbs up.

Comfortable right out of the box!

My husband loved these. They are a soft leather on top but they have support and are very light. The fit was true to size he usually takes a !0 M in US sizes and the 43 fit very well

It was a little glossier than I expected so maybe they look a little dressier than I envisioned but I still like them a lot. They are lightweight and flexible which makes them easy to travel with and pack in a bag. Comfy ans I have already logged a decent amount of miles in the airport with them. My only complaint is initially the sole is a little slick until you get them scuffed up/broken in a bit.

Very lightweight, nice leather. Probably the most comfortable shoes I have ever had. I take a W and these only come in M but they feel wider and Ooo-Soo comfortable.

Just the most comfortable shoe I ever stepped into. Absolutely no need to break these in

These are perfect! Super comfortable and fit like a glove!

Very light weight. Soft leather. Most comfortable shoe I’ve ever bought.

I bought these to replace a pair of Seibel's I'd had for 6-7 years and couldn't be more pleased. They can be a bit dressy, but work well with jeans, too.

Overall this item was a must have from them. I tried this pair for about five years, still have the first one I bought and after four years of running around to shopping with this set I bought another. A well sold and decently acclaimed product from an impeccable company it seemed to work well for the money and held up to some to this picky and rough on product consumer.

Seibel shoes are well made and comfortable. They are stylish, easy to care for, and the fit is predictable and consistent. This Douglas has the brushed look finish, a nice variation on the solid look.

Beautiful shoes, stylish with a bit of flair but still understated. The stitching is cleanly done and the shoe is very well made. Feels slightly smaller than my regular size. I would have liked an 11 but they only have a 10.5 and a 11/11.5. Still, they fit well and are extremely comfortable. The leather is soft, supple, and real.

I went through a lot of different shoes before realizing that I can walk for miles a day in these shoes. I have touchy knees, and for walking, these shoes are surprisingly more comfortable then my gel-laden running shoes. I have been using them daily for 6 months and they are holding up well. These shoes also have a unique look that has invited the occasional positive comment. The distressed leather and subtle stitch accents make them perfect for a professional look with slacks and a shirt at work, or with jeans for a night out. They are also very light in weight and easy to slip on and off. The sole is a kind of rubber (or synthetic rubber) that has more give and bounce than other similar shoes, but nonetheless provides the right amount of support for my feet. I can feel the ground underneath enough that I don't stomp and hurt my knees, but not so much that my feet hurt at all. The only downside is that they are not waterproof. In fact, there is a seam that runs around the edge on the sole, and if you walk in even very low-height water, some water will seep in -- these shoes are so great, maybe I'll apply some kind of sealant to that seam. Everyone's feet/knees/hips/back etc. are different, so who knows if these will work for you, but for me, they were like magic. Unbelievably comfortable and knee-pain-free from day one. No breaking-in required. I will buy similar shoes from Josef Seibel again.

This is one fine shoe. Well made with soft leather and holds up very well. I prefer Joesf Seibel shoes for this very reason. One of the top shoe makers in the world.

The shoes look and feel nice and they're definitely constructed from very nice materials that look and feel like it would take actual work to pull apart. However, there is absolutely no arch support. I'm not saying that it's just average, I'm saying my sneakers have more support than these do. Beneath the balls of the feet and heel, it feels more than adequate, but there's an actual valley in-between where the shoe doesn't touch my foot whatsoever. I'd recommend buying some insoles to replace the ones these come with. Good news is that the ones it comes with slip out without a problem. Aetrex is a good suggestion, but find something that suits your needs.

I love these shoes, they fit perfectly even for Josef Seibel and are super comfortable. After wearing them almost everyday to/from work for two months, though, the rubber bottom sole got soft (like rubber band consistency) and needed to be replaced. Disappointed since the back heel looks barely worn despite my wearing them so much. This happened with my other two pairs of Josef Seibel so I'd like to think that it has to do with the sole material rather than me.

The only problem with this beautiful shoe is the terrible sole. It is a single piece of flimsy injection molded plastic. For a $160 shoe this is unacceptable. I am returning my pair. The $80 Cole Haan shoes I ordered at the same time were not as stylish but so much better made with a worthwile sole. These are absolutely gorgeous shoes. Even though the don't come in widths this shoe fits my 3E foot pretty well.

These are nice looking shoes, but they feel cheap for the price. In addition, the rubber sole material tends to squeak when you walk on hardwood or tile. I did not expect the feel of very expensive shoes, but... Hopefully wear better than their first impression.

Like some other reviewers have said elsewhere, the materials and construction seemed a bit cheap, and the sole felt thin with no shock absorption especially under the forefoot. I suppose the overall look is somewhat redeeming, though I don't understand the point of the strangely distressed leather. This shoe is made in Albania for those who are interested.

Seemed like they were made for wide feet, especially around the ankle. I didn’t see any indication for either wide or normal width on the box. Also VERY soft sole. Just right style but way overpriced for the mild quality.

Very soft sole. A good shoe if you are at a desk or driving a lot, but if you are on your feet (trade show) or walking a lot on a hard surface I would not get these. Because of that I don't wear them very often. When I do they are super comfy, but again, only when I know I will be at my desk.

Despite being advertised as having a leather sole, the sole is clearly rubber. While that doesn't necessarily matter, it is a very thin sole, providing very little support. My feet hurt when I walk more than a short distance in these. I was disappointed with their quality.

Like the shoes but one of them has a problem so I will send them back. It is stretched out or was put together wrong so that the right shoe sits open and you can see my foot when I’m just standing there. Expected better quality for $160.
