I have a very difficult time finding comfortable shoes. These are great! I would recommend these to anyone. I have already worn them several days since I received them. Better then tennis shoes!

I got these and immediately wore them the next day for a 10k step day, and they felt great. No difficult break-in period or painful spots.

Finally I found my perfect shoe! I have all the known foot problems, bunions, flat feet, splayed toe and hammer toes.With all of that these shoes are comfortable and have enough support and cushion for hours of shopping or walking around. I have 3 pairs and would like to see them offered in light tan or linen. I did have them stretched a little at the toe area as really no shoe made accommodates my feet but these work! This shoe even with the rubber sole does not look clunky like some out there that I own. They work great and are cute with nice dress slacks or jeans. The strap for me is in the right place as some strapped shoes I've tried won't keep the shoe on my foot. I never thought that would an issue but obviously it can be for some people. This is my first try at strapped shoes and these work very well to keep the shoe on my foot as slip on shoes do not work for me. I worked with an independent shoe store and they really worked to get a shoe to fit my feet and I am so glad they carry Rockport and Cobb Hill. They even ordered a style they don't normally carry that was a different strap style Polly that did not work because the strap hit my foot at the wrong angle and the shoe did not fit properly. However, as long as this shoe fits so nicely I will order more just to have extra shoes down the road.

I now own this shoe in 3 colors. It is very comfortable, I never even think about them once they are on my feet. I wear an orthotic, and it fits fine in the shoe.

This is a fantastic shoe! Cute, comfortable, and I can wear it to work or with jeans. I wear it with or without socks. One of the most comfortable casually dressy shoes I've ever had.

I ordered a 7 1/2 instead of an 8 because the 8 wasn't available in wide and in blue. I'm glad I did because the shoes fit well, so well that I wore them 2 of 3 days at a conference where I stood 6 hours and walked upward of 7 miles. What a wonderful surprise. If it had had a higher more supportive arch these shoes would be perfect.

Super comfortable shoe. I have a wide foot, and the 6W (I sometimes have to go up to a 7 to gat a shoe that is comfortable enough in width) fits perfectly. The strap ending is a little wide for my taste, but I like the shoes very much.

I loved these - very cute and comfy - lots of support and great show interior - easy to where without socks if that's what you like - but also work with a coordinating sock. I wear them with skirts or office casual slacks.
I typically wear a 7 1/2 which I've recently found is too small in some brands - I got an 8 here and they were a smidge loose so I added some heal slips and they are great. So I guess 1/4 size small (the 7 1/2) or large (the 8).

Great shoes, great service. I have arthritis and bone erosions in my foot and tried several Mary Janes before finding the right one that would not hurt the top of my foot and yet would support my arch and give plenty of toe room. My search is over - these are the answer to my prayers. I'm waiting for the Navy to get restocked and will purchase another pair as soon as they are. They look stylist and not like orthopedic shoes, yet feel like you are wearing a custom made shoe. Arthritis suffers buy these with confidence and feel the relief! Thank you Zappos for easy home shopping and returns - it's wonderful to be able to try them on in the convenience of your home.

This was one of three Mary Jane shoes I ordered, hoping to find a worthy substitute for my Keen Presidio MJ's, which have been discontinued.
This is a nice shoe, but I am returning because the heel height is too low for me.

Mary Jane shoes are typically wide. I ordered both the N and M. The Narrow definitely fits much better. The style is cute, not clunky. The shoe has a shank, giving it stability, a real plus in my book. The only downside: no support. I wanted a walking shoe. These aren't it for me. I am sure that my feet would ache after a mile or so.

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!!

Cute shoe, but the toe box pressed on my big toe. I have a bunion on that foot, so I need shoes with larger toe box. I didn't wear it long enough t evaluate the arch support, it seemed o.k. - moderate. I like the velcro closing which is more exacting fit-wise than buckle and pierced strap.

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.

Eh so so, but considering the given choices out there they are decent. I have plantar faciatis and halfway through the day my heels hurt really bad. Kinda wish I would of went a size up to add an insert in. Time will tell how these turn out. Only wore them a couple of times so far.

Quality shoe made by Rockport. I already own Cobb Hill Patrina. This Petra design was not wide enough in the toes for me, although the 9.5W did accommodate my bunion. It has a great sole and moderate arch. I would add an arch insert if I kept these. They are very attractive with light scrollwork and punch-outs on the toe. A stable shoe for standing all day at work whether with a skirt or pants.

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.

this shoe felt good, had enough arch support, and like so many shoes I get, there is no heel slippage. After trying on 6 shoes from Zappos ( thank you for your amazing service ! ), I missed the cushiness in the ball of the foot, that I liked in some of the other shoes. I have trouble finding shoes that fit well. This fit fine, and the strap is adjustable, but they just didn't strike me as AMAZING ! They were out of the black so ordered the pewter, and I actually liked it. Is is dark enough, and neutral enough that could be used in place of black, or other colors. Sending back, but would not discourage others to give this shoe a try.

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.
