I was really unsure about these shoes at first. I almost returned them. I wear an 8N, and while they fit really well on most of my foot (particularly the heel which is often a problem for me), they were too tight across the widest part of my foot. It was hard to tell if they would loosen up, but I decided to keep them and they did. After two days of wearing them they fit perfectly and feel very good on my feet. They feel very sturdy and are comfortable to walk in.

These are the most comfortable walking shoes I've ever found. Other wide shoes I've worn often have an uncomfortably narrow toe box. These have a wide toe box and are made from soft leather that gives & makes them comfortable to wear all day yet they never look stretched out or misshapen. I bought another pair of Aravon walking shoes and a pair of leather New Balance Walking shoes at the same time and I wear the Revsmart shoes almost every day, while the other two pairs sit in the closet.

I just spent 3 weeks walking around Europe in these shoes and I loved them! I averaged 7.5-8.0 miles per day and by far, most of the surface was cobblestones. No blisters, no sore spots, only great supportive comfort. I did spend a good couple of weeks breaking them and that period was without any sues as well. Highly recommend! Only disappointment is that they do not come in a medium-dark brown.

I hadn't heard of this shoe brand, but I noticed, is made by New Balance. The shoe had a good fit and nice design, but I couldn't stand to wear it because of its "rocker" design - meaning the sole is curved and my feet can't stand flat. Some people may like that feature for walking, but I prefer a flatter, flexible sole.

Seemed like a good quality shoe but it did not feel wide enough for a 2E wide.

These shoes were so uncomfortable and stiff, I can't even think about allowing for a break in period. I cannot recommend them. I had them on for 10 seconds, did not even walk around in them and immediately placed them back in the box to return. In addition, I am disappointed in Zappos as it appears the shoes had been worn. While I understand that some shoes are returned & have no problem with that, I would expect more quality control over the shoes that are placed back into inventory.

This is hands-down the most comfortable shoe I have ever tried. Unfortunately, I ordered several pairs for an upcoming vacation trip to Europe and narrowed my choices down between this shoe and a pair of NewBalance walking shoes. My husband voted for the NewBalance pair because he said these looked a little bit like bowling shoes. I couldn't justify keeping both pairs at this point so am returning these, but may reorder them in the future. SUPER comfortable and terrific support!!

I needed a pair of comfortable walking shoes for a trip to Europe and didn't want to wear my running shoes. These Aravon the perfect solution. Very comfortable for my narrow foot and while not exactly dressy, I didn't feel overly self conscious when wearing them with dressy trousers. Another added plus, the insole can be removed and replaced with a custom orthotic if needed.

I Purchased these shoes for a Europe trip not long after realizing I had planter fasciitis. These shoes have removable insoles so I was able to put in my orthotic insoles and I walked 4 miles, on cobblestone, every day and my feet felt great. Cannot recommend these shoes highly enough.

I ordered these with high hopes - I walk a lot (around five miles per day) and have foot issues, so I want shoes that have good arch support but do not look orthopedic. Unfortunately, I am going to have to return these. The medium is too tight, and the styling is not as cute/sporty/funky as it looks from the photos and video.

Like the styling! Just from briefly trying these I am thinking they will provide sturdy support. I have to use orthotics which means the shoes are a bit snug right now and the leather is somewhat stiff but I am hoping they will soften up with time (and some stretching in a couple of trouble spots.)

I have sesamoiditis and REVsmart is a blessing. I need the stiffer rocker sole, and not so much memory foam that my sesamoid bones can dig themselves a hole. REVsmart fills those requirements, and it is hard to find a shoe that does! (Sesamoid bones are located in the bump behind your big toe, where I've had a callus since grade school, due to high arches.) I originally ordered the 10N (I have the Aravon Candace in 10N and LOVE it), and will continue to wear my REVsmart 10Ns with thin dress socks / work slacks. I just received REVsmart in 10M, which I will wear with thicker socks for more heavy duty walking. Aravon's Candace and REVsmart have been my saviors since developing sesamoiditis. (And acupuncture.) Good luck to anyone with sesamoiditis!

This shoe is probably very comfortable (pretty clunky looking, though) if you get the right fit. My go-to shoe is Clarks, and a 9W almost always fits perfectly. Same size in this one, and I could barely get my foot inside. Way too tight. I'll try again at some point, but will go up half a size.

I wear a size 11. This shoe ran a little small in length and width. The arch did not hit me in the right place. I only kept it one day, so no experience with "wearing" it. It was too uncomfortable for me.

The toe bed was too narrow. Also, when I got them on I realized they looked like bowling shoes. Nah, I'll pass on these...

I WAS TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS SHOE! From several reviews I read on this site, I was expecting to easily fit into this shoe because it was noted that toe box was wider than the average wide shoe. I ordered a Size 11 W. The shoe that arrived looked like it was barely a 10 W. I couldn't even try this shoe on it was so narrow. I am wondering if this shoe was marked incorrectly. Returning for REFUND. Hoping I will have better luck with the DELILAH shoe when it becomes available again in Size 12 W. This shoe also seemed to run smaller than marked, but at least I was able to try it on in size 11W.

I really like the look of these shoes. They support without looking clunky. I easily wear an 8 1/2 B. Though they fit, my toes were right to the end and the fit around the middle was tight, even with a thin sock. I debated keeping them and trying to break them in but the price is too steep to take a chance. I'm returning them.

These are adorable! True to size. Very comfortable, especially along the top of my foot. I like to order wider than needed and add extra cushion. I’ll need to do that with these. I need a sneaker type shoe, but looks dressy for work. These fit the bill.

The fit and size are fantastic. I have a very wide foot, and these fit comfortably. I took them out of the box, put on a pair of sox and the shoes, and went for a walk. They felt great. This is a very stylish shoe. It works great for walks but can also be worn with street clothes, the shoes look great. I love them. In fact, I'm in the process of ordering other Aravon shoes.

Pretty happy with this shoe. I needed a black shoe that could pass for a little dressier than a tennis shoe but still be comfortable. I wear them as business casual but they seem rugged & the inside sole has an ergonomic slope to it that allows the foot the roll naturally as you walk.

I bought this shoe in both tan and black. The tan was a bit tighter but has softened up. They give me great support and really help my old feet to get through the day.
Would buy other colors if they made them.

These are a great orthopedic-type shoe. They come in extended widths, accommodate my custom orthotics well, and are a sporty look with their distressed-look toe and leather sewn details. I suppose I'll have these shoes in my closet for a very long time, they're extremely well made.
