Customer Reviews Florsheim Castellano Bike Ox

Was actually quite comfortable for a dress shoe and true to fit. I have incredibly wide feet (I wear 4E or 5E New Balance sneakers for casual wear) and my feet slipped right in to these, with no discomfort, using relatively thick socks. I've bought other 3E dress shoes (other Florsheims even) that my feet will not even go inside of. I've only had them a few days so can't comment on build quality, although they look and feel quite sturdy.

Nice looking shoe for the money. I have a pair of the Blaze model by the same company that are very comfortable, though this brand runs a half size larger - so order down a half size from your normal size. Unfortunately, with this model, the outer wall of the shoe is too high and hits under my outer ankle bone. Returned for that reason.

I always feel like my shoe size is 11.75 when it comes to dress shoes. I ordered a 12, they feel a bit too roomy but I kept them because an 11.5 would probably feel too small. They do seem to run a little big though. Also, I was a little unhappy with the stress marks in the toe area which looked like they have been tried on and someone pushed the top of the shoe to check the fit. It was only noticeable if I looked at it up close, so I didn't return them for this reason either.

Husband liked this style enough we tried two sizes. He usually wears a 8 1/2D in Florsheim and Rockport. 8 was still too long. And he didn't think a smaller size would fit his arch correctly, so both sizes went back.

When I first got the shoes they were awesome but I noticed it felt they would catch on things while I walked. Come to find out the "Wood" panels on the heels were not cut flush with the show and catching and pulling off. For $130, that didn't sit well with me.

Returned them; the leather did not look particularly high quality. Saw the same with another pair of Florsheims. The lowest quality looking leather of the five various pairs I considered - all five delivered and actually examined in person. And just to note - not a lick on Zappos; I simply didn't really like the shoes.
