Customer Reviews Josef Seibel Caspian

I bought these leather sneakers in three colors and love them. They are cute with jeans and cords and are very comfortable. I hope they will continue to be available in other colors.

Really cute! But unfortunately really tight. These run at least 1/2 size small. I would order the next size up to have room for feet to feel comfortable. Toebox is narrowish and the width is not right for someone with a wider foot. Love Josef Seibel, but this is not the fit for me.

I have a narrow foot and this shoe fits incredibly well. So it probably runs a bit narrow.

If you have a long narrow foot and a narrow heal, grab this shoe. Even the Medium width fits comfortably with an insert, heel never slips. Thinking of getting another pair before they discontinue this style. Style is great too.

This is my second pair of these shoes. I love my first pair so much I decided I need a spare. Best walking shoe. They are very well made. Highly recommend.

A great shoe! True to size. A fun spring shoe that helps the drab winter feel like spring!

Wow! The Caspian's in red naplack are spectacular - the reddest red and shinier than the cleanest fire truck imaginable. I guess that is why naplack is better than patent - an improved finishing process for softer leather/lasting shine. Anyway, these are my new favorite shoes! They're great for jeans, chinos, and with casual dresses and skirts, especially denim. My kid chose these for me - that wouldn't be exceptional except he's a 17 year old macho boy. He said he thought I'd like 'em & he was right. Seibel makes great quality shoes, and these are no exception. They are smaller than my other pair of Jos. Seibel dressy shoes in the same number size for what that is worth. I think the others run big and these are close to true size.

Purchased these last summer as a walking sneaker for a trip to Paris. Performed extremely well. I have arch and heel issues and these supported my feet through miles of walking! Still using them this summer. I will buy another color to have for future use.

These are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever owned. Good, all day, arch support. Lacing allows me to "loosen up" for my little bit wide foot. Love them.

Felt 1/2 size short. I have a narrow heel and if this had a higher back it would have been more comfortable. Cute but had to return.

I have a pair of these that I bought several years ago that I adore and have worn to bits. This newer pair doesn't feel the same on my foot. My first pair, I was able to replace the insole with an orthotic. When I did that with these, it raised my foot enough to abrade my ankle bone on the back of the shoe, so I put the regular insole back in. However, even with the shoe as-made, the place where the shoe opening meets my instep also abrades my foot. I am able to wear invisible socks with my old pair, which I prefer, but I need to wear something else with these to keep them from causing blisters. I'm not sure if the leather is different, if they need breaking in, or what. I'm hoping the situation resolves itself with wear as these have been my go-to sneakers for years.

I buy these same sneakers every year or two, when the soles wear out (I wear them pretty hard, but they do only last about that long before they get holes in them). This pair feels and looks fine, but two things are off: a) I definitely did not get the color I ordered or that's pictured (I ordered grigio which looks grey in the image but I got blue) and b) the laces are very weird--as though someone cut the ends off. I had to reuse the laces from my old sneakers to wear the new ones. For the price, neither of these things should have happened.

True to size (size 39 = my usual US size 8), good fit around my narrow heel. Very cute shoes. The contours of the footbed don't match mine perfectly but I think this will change with wear. The tan/gray color is very nice.

I wear an 8 1/2 usually but my feet are wide and they are often a bit swollen especially at the end of the day. I bought these in a 40 and they fit snugly. I can't wear them with socks. (but again -- my feet are wide and often a bit swollen). They are relatively comfortable -- no arch support or padding -- but I don't mind that since I like being barefoot. I do get a blister when I walk a long time in them -- but to be honest they are a bit snug on my foot. I think these are best for a more narrow footed person. Style wise -- they are great. Being leather (I bought the black) takes the whole "casual tennies" look up a notch. I wear them with skinny jeans but I think they would look cute with a skirt too.

Love the shoe, but the fit is not like a sneaker. This is a very hard and structured shoe. It is not like the previous Seibel with the same appearance. Because it is so form fitting, it seems to run smaller in overall fit.

Very cute! A bit more narrow than I usually wear, but it does stretch out. Get compliments all the time.

I love this shoe. However, it runs smaller than the usual Josef Seibel shoes so beware of that when you order and it is narrower than most of the JS shoes too. They look wonderful but they tore my heels up so make sure you wear socks with these at all times!

What a shame, I SO wanted to keep these shoes. I have a pair of these that are four years old, and have always been very comfortable. They were soft and supple out of the box. Not so with this edition of the same shoe. I was wearing a 39 (and I wear an 8 1/2) in my original pair. So, I ordered the same size. These were not only a 1/2 to a full size too small, they were also VERY narrow for my foot. They went back the same day they arrived. Gone also was the soft subtle leather, this new version is very stiff.

the soles of these shoes wear out very fast this pair wore out in about 6 weeks, and I didn't wear them every day the stitching for the shoelace holes came apart on the second wearing the quality has really deteriorated

These are cute sneakers, BUT they're too narrow and too long. My foot is regular width, so the fit can't be fixed by going either a size down or up.

I purchased these and after 1 west the stitching came loose in the side of the shoe. Zappos was kind enough to exchange them for me. But the second pair did the same this. The stitching cam loose again. It's been such a burden I didn't return them. Just ended up wearing $130 shoe beat up looking from day 1. Very disappointed.

These beloved Caspian saw me through three years of travel through Europe. Unfortunately the Caren replacement in Platin scuffs easily and isn't the same so I'm still looking. Please bring back the Caspian!!

soft leather. Good fit. Looks stylish. Very comfortable

A well made, cute sneaker!! Very comfortable, a good walking shoe. They look good with everything, I especially like them with a short, black dress!

I have seeral of these shoes I just did not like the metalic color
