I love this shoe! So comfortable!! I did have to buy a half size down, though. I usually wear a 9 N but it was too big, so ordered an 8.5 N and it's perfect!! Petra is a lot more comfortable that the Parker. I have both. The openings on the Parker hurt my feet even with socks. So... I highly recommend the Petra!!

From the moment I put these on they were comfortable. The strap is easy to adjust and the strap itself is soft and comfortable. The style can easily be worn with slacks or a skirt. The little swirls etched in the leather add a nice touch. The shade of brown is light enough that you can easily tell it is brown ... not the really dark brown that looks almost like black. I purchased my usual size and it was fine.

Very comfortable with no break-in time needed. Very cute style. It's always a challenge finding shoes that are comfortable on both of my feet, so when I find quality brands that are well-made with cute styling, I tend to stick with them. My current brands are Rockport's Cobb Hill, Wolky and Taos.

I bought 4 pairs of Mary Janes to test out for a trip to Europe. This pair was the winner, over an Aravon, Merrell and Hush Puppy. Luckily they were the cutest as well, with some silver and stamped leather design. They are very comfortable, the strap does not aggravate a bony bump in my midfoot arch, and should do well for city walking when I want a little dressier look (going to Ireland and Amsterdam so will be wearing hiking boots a lot but need something appropriate for the city). so far I've worn them around work all day a few times and the feet feel good. I'll try to update after days of touring.

I bought two pairs of these and love how they look and feel. I ordered a 8 and 1/2 wide which is my size and they fit true to size. I wish Rockport would make them in more colors.

Love the shoe I have very narrow feet that are difficult to find shoes that feel good. Unfortunately this shoe in 8 1/2 N was too wide in the toe box and strap did not improve the fit.

I find these shoes to be comfortable for moderate walking, such as shopping or sightseeing. I think they look dressier than most other styles that have this level of comfort. I have them in black as well as the brown and enjoy wearing them.

Very comfortable out of the box. I like the Velcro strap to adjust the fit. I wanted a casual shoe a little dressier than my usual slip-on sneakers, and these were exactly what I was looking for.

I bought this shoe the PETRA in the fall and I LOVE it so much. It is one of the most comfortable shoes I have worn for a long time. Well worth the $$. Thank you. Now buying Rockport Boots.

Very comfortable shoe, runs close to size, perhaps a tiny bit small, but I'm wearing my usual 7.5 comfortably with very thin socks. Would definitely recommend for comfort!

These are great shoes for working in an office. They are very comfortable and stylish, yet conservative enough for an office. I really like how the footbed is slightly padded. Cobb Hill is a brand owned by New Balance, so that says a lot to me about why these are so comfortable. As far as fit and size goes: I have wide feet and I wear a 9 1/2 when wearing Asics running shoes. But from the Cobb Hill brand, a size 9D fits perfectly! It's really hard for me to find cute shoes that won't hurt my feet. But these are great, not one blister ever! The price has gone up since I bought my first pair about 2 years ago, but I'm willing to pay the cost because these reliable shoes perform very well. I'm planning to buy another pair.

I like these shoes a lot. They are pretty cute and very comfortable. I wear them with and without socks. They are comfortable without socks. They have decent arch support, and the wide is actually quite wide with a generous toebox.

So far, so good! I have worn these around the house. I do not even know that I have a bunion, and the strap holds the shoe in place and does not allow heel slippage. I am in the process of donating my heels and wearing flats. These shoes are pretty and can be worn dress up or down. Thank you, Zappos, for dressing my skinny chicken feet!

This is just about what I am looking for. Its attractive and extremely comfortable. The adjustable band has velcro which works on my foot that is narrow everywhere except across the bunions in the front of my foot. Sometimes the velcro straps aren't sized to actually fit across a narrow foot and have velcro that misses itself so won't stick. The shape of the toe box covers the bunion comfortably and doesn't bind there the way so many other shoes do. The metal button is a cute plus. They are somewhat dressy but very casual. My only wish would be for some other colors. I got the brown which is a very rich chocolate. I may look into dying it.

Very comfortable shoe. Although my true width is AAA, this adjustable strap made this shoe work. Cute design. Very roomy toe box, but with a thin foam insert, they fit great.

These are well-made and light weight. I ordered a 8w to avoid tightness across the top of my foot and that has allowed me to use an extra gel insert. I am pleased with these shoes. This is my first pair of Cobb Hill shoes.

These are soft and comfortable, these shoes offer a little height and lots of dressiness. They are so fun to wear. I do not even realize that they are brand new. They are just exactly what I need for standing all day.

I have the hardest time finding closed toed, comfortable, somewhat dressy shoes to wear at work. After ordering and returning about 20 pairs of shoes, these are the ones that finally fit. I have a narrow foot and sensitive toenails (anything pressing down in the toe region is uncomfortable). These look nice, are comfortable (wore them all day right out of the box without socks and no issue), and fit my feet. I'll be ordering another pair in brown.

The Cobb Hill Petra looks very nice on, the brown is a rich color, it runs true to size, and it has a really comfortable insole. However, even in a narrow, it was too wide in the heel for my very narrow feet. Sadly, they'll have to go back to Zappos.

These are fantastic mary jane shoes. They are super comfortable right out of the box. I wore them all day at the office and they were comfortable the whole time. I have purchased a few pairs of boots from this brand and these shoes feel just as good. The straps are secured with Velcro under a cute silver button and the Velcro is great for adjusting the tightness of the shoe to your individual foot.
