I liked the style of this shoe a lot, they were very cute. Unfortunately I had to return them after just a few wears as the inside soles came unglued and the white cushion material disintegrated and would fly out of the shoe when I walked. The material also didn't breathe at all and was very warm to wear, even in the winter. Disappointing that they are not made of a higher quality.

Pros: attractive styling, like the shape, good fit, decent support for this type of shoe.
Cons: poor construction and materials inside the shoe. Sole is a poorly cut piece of thin memory foam with what looks like a shiny sticker-type of paper footbed glued over it. It had that cheap feel to it and I didn't like how my foot felt immediately "sweaty" when I tried them on. Deal breaker. Too bad.

Very uncomfortable! These shoes are cute, but you will be limping by the end of the day. The side dug into my feet and I had blisters from wearing them for just a few hours.

I've been searching for a flat that I will find comfortable, and after reading so many positive reviews of this shoe I thought I had found it. Unfortunately, I think I'm starting to realize that flats aren't comfortable--period. And these were no exception. I ordered in my size but these felt way to tight. They also gave no arch support and my toes were squished. A bigger size may have fit better, but they weren't as cute as I'd hoped either so I returned them.

These are super cute to wear around the office or puttering around the house. Just wish there was more support - there is less then none and is basically like walking barefoot.

These shoes run small. I am normally a 8.5, and a 9 worked. Otherwise, they are cute flats.

Cute shoe, but really narrow and pinched. I have an medium width foot and these squeezed terribly. Back they go.

The leather is very soft; however, there is no arch support. Not the shoe to wear if you plan to be on your feet all day. Overpriced for the quality.

These shoes are beautiful to look at, and were very comfortable until I took them for a test-walk on the carpet. They wouldn't stay on my feet. This is probably due to the fact that I normally wear a narrow shoe, though these seemed narrow enough. Maybe it is the limited toe-coverage on top. I will have to return them.

I wanted to like this shoe, since I typically like Jessica Simpson's shoes, but this one just didn't do it for me. Felt much bigger and wider than my size.

These shoes are really cute but totally impracticable. They have no traction and need an extreme amount of wearing which only caused them to break. I will probably never be able to wear them again. I got 8 good wears out of them though.

Just received the Leve in Size 12 Black. Unfortunately not true to size. Feels like a size 11. I will be returning these. I was a little disappointed because I just ordered the Size 12 Leve in Brown and they fit great! I placed both shoes sole to sole and the black pair are a little smaller.

Cute shoes, but not comfortable -
These shoes are cute and the leather is very soft. The first pair I ordered were too big, so I reordered in a 1/2 size smaller, which was much better. They are uncomfortable though, as the top of the shoe digs into my skin just below the toe area. I would return them except I've worn them out (once). I just hope the leather stretches a bit.

They'll do -
I ordered these as "weekend" shoes to wear with jeans and dresses. They fit great, provide a decent amount of comfort, but I'm not completely wild about the toe. I think it makes my foot (size 9.5), look too narrow (something I thought the pleating would help with, but didn't). I'm keeping them because after all that, they're not terrible and were a relatively good price.

These shoes have no support. They are very cute and very stylish, but not really worth as much as Jessica Simpson wants for them. If they had more arch support or more of a sole, they'd be a much better shoe.

I've worn some Jessica Simpson shoes similar to these in the past and I loved them. These, not so much. They're very cheaply made and I am severely disappointed in the quality and craftsmanship. I can't believe I paid so much for these shoes. They aren't made the same, they aren't comfortable, and I'm so sad about it because I wanted to love these as much as I loved the ones I owned before.

Super comfortable, but already falling apart after less than a week of wear!!!! Need to see if I can get a refund.
Do not buy.

I bought the Jessica Simpson Leve based off the generally positive reviews here on Zappos. I figured that they would be a perfect pair of everyday flats, dressed up or down, that had interesting styling in the toe and had LEATHER uppers. Years ago, I had a favorite pair of black studded leather flats that were JS: they held up well, were comfortable, and looked cool, so I had similar hopes for the Leve. Out of the box, I was not impressed but was generally satisfied with the quality and styling relative to the amount of money I'd spent on them. The fit was 10-10.5, as I often take the latter in a closed-toe shoe. I decided to keep them and wore them out shopping the day after I received them. In the sole, they were comfortable enough; flats are always hard to gauge in comfort until you've walked or stood for a few hours in them. My pinky toes on both feet (but mostly the right) began to hurt in that tell-tale, blister-forming way, so I stuffed a nylon footie down in the toebox to prevent further irritation. I'm happy to report that I felt absolutely no irritation in the heel! That is one of my usual 'breaking in" shoe gripes. After about 3 hours of wear, the "leather" was wrinkling and puckering on the outer right shoe and on both pairs, the "leather" where it meets the rubber sole had rubbed off completely in a strip that was an inch long. The rubber on one sole was already beginning to peel along the edge. I was apoplectic and so disappointed in the workmanship and materials. If this was how bad they looked after a few hours, how would they look in a few weeks or months!? They HAD to go back. After a quick call to Zappos Customer Service, I had arranged for a return label and merchandise credit. I adore a company that has good old-fashioned service and appropriate return policies. There is no way a consumer should be forced to keep a product that is self-destructing with the most minimal wear!

These are really comfortable and cute but I have to agree with others in saying the liner doesn't stay in the shoe. It gets stuck to your foot and pulls up. I've tried Shoe Goo to stick the liner to the shoe but it isn't holding. I wouldn't recommend this shoe for that reason.

I had 3 previous pairs and loved them - extremely comfortable and stylish. The most recent ones I purchased spring 2015 actually hurt my feet, tried having them stretched but no luck. I would bet these newer styles are not leather anymore. Not soft and flexible. These are just cheap "knock-offs". Too bad, I would have continued buying them forever! Since I can't wear these new ones they will be donated.

I bought these shoes based on the reviews, but I am returning them because they look plastic. I don't mind faux leather, but these just look too fake. I also didn't like the squared off toe box. They are comfortable, however.

These shoes are cute and were comfortable BUT they were the noisiest shoes I have ever had. My boyfriend said they sounded like I was walking on whoopee cushions. No kidding! Sorry! That is a deal breaker. I returned them. If you don't like socks, don't buy these!

So uncomfortable! I had blisters all over my feet the first and second day I wore them. I haven't put them on since. I'm hoping they won't hurt so bad if I go through the pain of breaking them in.

These shoes were EXTREMELY comfortable, however they were already falling apart when I took them out of the box. I wore them for one day and the material on the bottom peeled off. Even though they were comfortable, they are extremely cheaply made and I will be returning them.

I picked these because they are perfect for work to play. I wear them with dress pants and jeans. They are stylish and really comfortable. The reason I gave them such a low score is that I bought them at the end of May and by August they are literally falling apart. The inserts have completely come apart and the stitching is coming apart. I may have worn them too much but I had another pair of black flats that lasted me almost 2 years and these lasted about 3 months. I paid the same for both. These are not worth the price.
