Customer Reviews Josef Seibel Ida

Worth every penny. These shoes have a wider toe box to allow for and hide my bunions but a more narrow heel. The velcro strap is easy to adjust when my feet swell. First day I wore these shoes I was on my feet for 10 hours straight and my feet never hurt!

Absolute heaven on your feet! Padded leather inside is delicious. Soft leather with velcro closure makes them super easy to wear. They look cuter and funkier in person than in the pic. Love them so much I ordered them in black too.

It takes something really special to get me to write a review and these shoes are exactly that. I adore them. They are comfortable right out of the box, and feel amazing on my feet. I live in Florida and seek summer styles that look good and are cool - but not sandals. These shoes are like having little air conditioners on your feet. I'm ordering another pair today. Their only drawback is that they are thin-soled and not very cushioned, but this is a reasonable trade-off for the way they feel otherwise.

These shoes are even better looking in person than in the photo and if that's possible, because they're pretty darned cute in the photo. I ordered a pair in black and in capri, but in trying them on I was reminded of why, although I own several pair of Josef Seibel shoes and none of them is a summer style. That's because my left foot is a full half size shorter than my right, and socks help compensate for the too large left foot size in fall/winter shoes. But in summer sandal type shoes, no such compensation is possible. While some manufacturer's offerings of half sizes put an 8 1/2 on both feet for summer styles, Seibel's whole sizing makes the Euro 39 too small and the 40 too big in summer designs. Although the 40 works great for oxfords. But since you're likely not to have such a dilemma and order these shoes! So lightweight, so comfortable in fit, so easy on and off, so versatile in design. Pretty decent support too, as sandals go. Not to mention so darned cute. I grieve that I need to return them. :-(

I have really enjoyed wearing these shoes. In fact I own two pairs one black and the other the cinnamon color. I receive compliments no matter which color I wear. I started wearing Josef Seibel when my husband and I lived in Germany. I have also owned others styles as well as the Ida. I do not think you will be disappointed in these sandals.

These shoes are so attractive, lightweight and comfortable! Love the color for summer! Have that already broken-in feel!

These are the most comfortable shoes. I am on my feet constantly and wouldn't wear anything else for 100% comfort Have not seen these in department stores. Love Zappos!

Cute shoe...ordered my usual size and they were a little big in the heel and rub. I am going to order 1 size down and hope they fit. I love Josef Seibel shoes, always comfortable and wear well for years.

The best of the best is what this company is! My shoes were at my front door before I would have had a chance to go to a store and shop, and way faster than the store clerk can even go to the back room and bring them out to try on! Everything to like about Zappos!

Excellent fit. Excellent feel. And, they go with every outfit.

I've only worn them once so far, but they felt great. I also have a pair of Josef Seibel loafers that I have worn for probably 3 years now, every non-work day from about October through May. They have yet to wear out and are super comfortable, too.

I love Josef Seibel shoes. I've been wearing them for years, and was excited to see this new style for summer. The best thing about this brand, at least for me, is there is no "break-in" period. None. Just put them on and wear them. They feel just like an old friend on your feet - comfortable and nice to have around. And, thanks Zappos, for upgrading my shipping!

This shoe is very comfortable, and is between a sandal and a closed shoe, so can be worn in several seasons. The leather is soft and pliable. The only problem I had was that the x stitches on the very top front of the shoe project downward - and if your foot requires a deeper toe box, may rub on the top of the toes. Otherwise, they didn't even have to be broken in. So comfortable.

Extremely lightweight yet comfortable shoes. Arch support is just enough. Even with a narrow foot, they can be adjusted to fit perfectly. These are the shoes that you tend to automatically put on if going out, as they feel so good.

These are great looking shoes and the arch support is decent. I couldn't figure out why they were not comfortable when I was walking around. I compared them to a pair of Joseph Seibel sandals I have and the difference is the sole. My sandals have a cushy rubber sole and the sole on this shoe is flat and stiff. I'd give them a try though as they are a great summer shoe option and you may not be as Princess and the Pea sensitive as I am.

I'm so disappointed that I had to return these shoes! The insoles are extremely comfortable and the shoe is stylish. But, like some of the other reviewers, the back cuts into my heel and the side cuts into my ankle. So, back they go.

Really cute! Comfortable and the color is not as bright as it look so the shoe works with most colors.

Very comfortable right out of the box. They fit perfectly and look just different enough to catch shoe-lovers eyes everywhere!

Very comfortable and lightweight shoe; versatile enough to go with shorts, jeans and skirts equally well. I love the shape of the toe box, very comfy for someone with bunions. I'm taking them on a trip to Jerusalem where we will be doing a lot of walking.

I just returned for Florida and wore these shoes every day. They were comfortable from the start. I have rather thin feet so need shoes that hug. These fit well and I am pleased.

The shoes are really nice looking but, I tried two different sizes and both started to make a blister on my heel and ankle with just a few minutes of trying them out. Love them but can't wear them can't say enough about Zappos quick delivery, excellent and I will be ordering again, back to Merrells, I guess.

I enjoy this shoe, cute and comfortable. I wish it had a little more arch support.

This shoe is very high on the back side and cuts into the ankle. I have highset ankles and was very surprised that this would be a problem. Other than this uncomfortable design the shoe is nice.

Great in-between shoes for those cooler spring/summer days. Or when you just don't want your whole foot showing!

Not as supportive as all my other Joseph Seibel shoes. Not enough padding either so my feet get tired standing. Lightweight.
