Customer Reviews Easy Spirit Abide 8

I generally like a loafer style for an everyday shoe, and these are okay but nothing special. They're relatively comfortable but not sure they breathe as well as my usual Geox loafers, and they look just a little awkward in my largish size (9). The price is right though, so can't complain too much. I'll wear them around the house.

These shoes work well just as long as you're not on your feet all day long. They are very lightweight and soft.

The shoe fit very nicely, but it's a sock eater. I've stopped wearing them, so it wasn't a great value.

Loved the shoe but the seam on top split after only wearing a few times.

After 4 months, I've retired these shoes. If you work on your feet, these shoes are not for you. My feet are terribly achy way before my shift ends (I added arch supports to no avail). My feet are narrow and the shoes still managed to stretch, turning them into flip flops! I only wore them a few times a week; not every day and they failed. What a waste of money.

I liked the look of this shoe, but the fit is not good, at least for an EE width. Plenty of room in the toe area, but gaped in the middle, and slipped off my heels. I am returning these shoes. I am soo glad that Zappos has an excellent ordering and return policy. Makes my life easier. Thanks Zappos.

This shoe felt a little snug for the AA width. I didn't like the shoe's toe shape. I expected the toe to be a square box shape. This shoe is slightly tapered in, narrow toe. Also this shoe squeaks w/ every step.

I am 64 years old, active, healthy, with no real foot issues and I've worn a 7 1/2 wide shoe since my twenties. I continue to wear 7 1/2 wide in most shoes by Easy Spirit, Naturalizer, and Clark's. My right foot is wider than my left for the toe box area due to a bunion. If I wear a good shoe with a good toe width, it helps the bunion actually become less pronounced. This shoe is a perfect fit for my left foot. The right shoe needed to be on a stretcher for the front width, for a couple of days but then was fine, either barefoot or with a peddie and even a trouser sock. I wore these shoes on a trip via air in order to avoid untying and tying athletic shoes. They were perfectly comfortable walking through the airport, and traveling basically all day. I've since worn them casually and find them comfortable. My only issue is that the heel could be more narrow and the top of the shoe could come up just a tad more for more "grip" on the foot, given the looser heel area, but all in all I'd recommend this shoe and I have in fact gotten it in another color. Also, do not look for much support though, it's not that kind of shoe...but I had no foot pain at all when walking, the arch area was fine and so I think this shoe would would work for most. The leather is soft and the shoe looks good with jeans, casual slacks, even capri's. I've been looking for a good all around flat for a long time and this fits the bill for me.

Comfortable shoe. Looks good with casual slack. Only negative is that the soles leave black marks on my floors.

Comfortable looking and feeling. Runs much too large and too wide. I have to return. :(

I'm a hard to fit 6 or 6.5 wide or extra wide. Got these in 6.5 WW and they felt good for width but were way too long. Am trying a half-size down to see how it goes. Style-wise they look to be a good casual shoe to go with jeans.

I thought these shoes were very and hoped they would work, but I found them to be slightly long -- the heel slipped, and given the softness of the suede, figured they would stretch. I need more support and padding than these shoes offer -- arthritis -- but would have kept them and tried a insert in them if not for the slipping problem. One other issue: I got the taupe, which is a very pretty shade, but there was some sort of glue stain along a seam of one shoe. They seem cheaply made.

Unfortunately, I will be sending these back. Again. I tried two different widths (W and EE), and the Wides were not wide enough and the EE's were slipping off my feet. Otherwise, I liked the style and leather.

These shoes fit great when I first got them. Now after a few wearings the leather has stretched-out so far as to not be wearable. There is also very little support. I don't recommend.

Very comfortable, beautifully made, nice quality. Looks as pictured.

I give this shoe 5 stars because I love the style, the flexible sole and the comfort. Why , then am I returning them? The answer is a new one for me. The left shoe slips on my heel! The right fits perfectly. I’m really disappointed so they must go back.

Very nice shoe however I wear a 6-1/2 AA and the heel was too wide. Had to return.

Great fit. Nice casual shoe.

9M- nice looking - & quality. Length yes- but close to being short. Heel grip good, doesn't suck in socks & no ridges or pain Unfortunately the toe box- the width area from the left side of toes to right side - just a bit to snug. Possibly may stretch but if it doesn't than I'm left with no shoes. No arch support embedded. There is stitching that makes it look like it. Tried on with med thickness socks. Must return

VERY pleased with these shoes. Wish Zappos would have more wide-width moccasins

This shoe felt larger than any of the other Easy Spirits I have purchased, but they still worked for what I was needing for work.

Very comfortable work shoes! Only took one day to wear them in. They aren't the most stylish shoes ever, but they look professional.

These are probably my favorite shoes; I'm currently trying to resist buying them in every single color. Casual and comfortable enough to wear with jeans or slacks, they also work with denim skirts and shirt dresses. I bought them in the shiny dark red, and get compliments on them every single time I wear them, from women and men (!) alike. They are just great loafers.

I bought the Easy Spirit Abide 8 because I needed a comfortable shoe to wear with casual pants at work or out running errands. These are perfect for that. The sole provides enough cushion to keep my feet and legs from hurting after a long day, and the tread grips the floor so I feel safe on slick surfaces.

Great casual shoe that is great for walking and being on your feet for extended periods. Looks great with casual dress pants.
