Customer Reviews Cobb Hill Petra

Comfortable, true to size and width, and cute! These fit comfortably even wide, bunion-ed feet. I was able to wear all day right out of the box. A very unusual occurrence!

This is a very nice shoe, well-made and appropriately priced. It would be comfortable and perfect if my feet were normal. But, I have an EE wide foot with a heel than is medium or narrow, so the shoe slipped at my heel even with the strap tightened. I'm giving it a 5 star rating even though I can't wear it.

I like the style of this shoe for casual wear. Unfortunately, it was too big and just didn't give the comfort I was looking for. The leather felt stiff and the footbed wasn't as supportive as I need.

Did not fit my feet. Too wide in tie area. Will return.

Top of shoe cut across knuckle of big toe, that would be a blister if I kept them.

I've been wearing Arcopedico's Shawna for years--that is a great shoe for hard-to-fit and painful feet! And after trying so many pairs before finding Shawna, I never really expected to find a second shoe that accommodated my rheumatoid arthritis-plagued feet, bunions, and high arches. Plus I really want a well-padded, supportive shoe. Not asking for much, am I? :-) But lo and behold, the Rockport Cobb Hill Petra is a second great find!! It's super-padded, super-supportive, looks much slimmer on the foot than it does in the picture, and is so light you won't believe it's a real shoe. Right out of the box I was able to wear it for hours and hours, with NO sore feet and NO aching back. I bought the Navy, which is really more of what I'd call a cadet blue, and it's surprisingly neutral. Think I may have to order another pair in another color just because I love them so much. Highly, highly recommended for people who need support as well as a roomy toe box. Thanks, Cobb Hill, for looking out for us high-maintenance people who still want to have stylish shoes!!

I really like this Mary Jane. It’s comfy and cute. I tried several others before this. So glad I found a winner!

The shoes are nicely made but the brown color is ugly in my opinion. I ordered the black shoes and they are much nicer!

This is a great shoe, but toe box not quite deep or wide enough for the foot with the most severe bunion. I need a cushier insole (for neuroma, etc.), too, so I opted to keep the Drew Magnolia, double wide. I'm giving it 5 stars across the board, though. It's a wonderful shoe--just not for my feet.

I have a narrow foot and these are just what the doctor ordered! Style, pretty and a secure strap to keep the shoe in place. No slipping on my heel. I am a happy customer!

Fantastic shoe. Fits beautifully and the strap allows custom fitting so the shoe doesn't fall off my narrow heels.

Absolutely love these shoes! They're cute, don't emphasize how huge my feet are, and are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I'll buy them in more colors.

Nice color. Well made. Had to return because even the wide size couldn't accommodate my bunion. Also the shoe style made my 9.5 size foot look big.

These were pretty comfortable but the strap over the top of my foot just barely hit the Velcro and I do not have a fat foot. Just did not work for my feet. It is a lightweight shoe.

Shoes were comfortable to wear, and I was able to walk maybe 1/4 mile in them with no discomfort. I have neuromas on right foot, so need a wide toe box shoe, but have a narrow heel, so need the adjustable strap. The shoes were OK looking, given the parameters needed (above), can't say they were pretty, but not ugly.

I wanted this shoes to fit. It is so cute, but grown up Mary Jane. However, the footbed just didn't give me the comfort I want.

Very matronly looking shoe.

The Cobb Hill Petra is a very nice shoe, attractive and comfortable. I ordered three pair of shoes, two pairs of Cobb Hill (Petra and Parker) and one pair of Clarks (Ashland-which were too narrow). I have a wide toe bed, narrow heel, high instep and feet that swell throughout the day. For that reason I choose to wear a Mary Jane style with velcro straps so I can adjust the fit as my feet swell. Of the two pair of Cobb Hill, I decided to keep the Petra as it was a bit better fit in the instep. I look forward to getting great service out of this attractive, comfortable and well made shoe. I highly recommend the Cobb Hill brand of shoes.

I really wanted to be able to wear this shoe but alas, my difficult feet would not go in this shoe when my feet are swollen. I like the style and materials. I had ordered the black. The little v shape on top is very stylist. I ordered to wide which should fit wide feet that do not have many foot problems. Velcro under strap was nice and strong.

Just had knee surgery and decided to get a good pair of shoes. These are the best shoes I've ever put on my feet. Soft leather, so cushioned, cute style. At age 73 I guess I deserve the very, very best.
