Customer Reviews Cobb Hill Petra

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

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.

The boxy toe makes the shoe seem longer than it is. Arch support is minimal, not moderate. Toe box on the wide was still a bit tighter than I could handle.

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.

These might have worked had the brand done a 6.5 in narrow but 7 is where narrow begins. Was hoping to find a new brand for my narrow foot.

I liked the style and they are confortable. But they are wide and open up near the strap, which does not look good at all. Too expensive to have such a flaw. I kept them to use when no one is watching. I should have returned them.

The leather is very stiff and doesn't flex at all.

Advertised as orthopedic but would need t allow my inserts to be substituted

My first impression was "is this real leather?" When I put them on I felt like I was walking up hill. The way the shoe is built, it seems to put your heel at a lower level than your toes. It also had a wider look to the toe box than I like. Overall quite disappointing. I had looked at other Cobb Hill styles but I wouldn't buy them now, after seeing these in person.

The strap was too short to fit over the top of my foot and secure. Even if it reached properly, there is only a small piece of velcro that attaches it. So, even if it were to reach, I don't think it would stay attached for very long. I can't comment on other features. I didn't wear them when I couldn't put them on right.

These are cute, the cut outs and stitching details are pretty. I also liked the richness of the color. The shoe bed fit well, but the arch strap was much too short - looked weird to have so much velco exposed and was much less secure I'm returning them - and will look for longer or buckle straps

the sole provided uneven support to the ball of the foot. very disconcerting. very unbalanced.

No. The finish is weird and not in a good way. Would absolutely consider getting them in another finish; they were comfy.

I wear 9 EW shoes. The shoes must have a deep toe box to fit. The only way these shoes fit is with the insert taken out, and then they are still tight. The actual shoe appears to be made well. The insert seems like it would fall apart quickly. Like most Mary Jane style shoes, they look do look clunky on your feet. The way the shoe is patterned with a leaf like design only makes up for this a little bit.

The picture on Zappos website shows these shoes to be a grey color. When I received them, the is more like a metallic black. I don't need any more black shoes, I wanted a grey pair of shoes.

Cute shoe, but the padding of the insole stops with this weird stiff seam RIGHT under the ball of your foot. (in order for the ball of my foot to hit in the right place, my toes would have needed to be as long as my fingers.) Really an unfortunate design flaw.

The pewter is a pretty color, shimmery with variations, and the brown is a pretty chocolate brown, not reddish/orange as it appeared on my monitor. My scores are lower as the 8.5 felt too small for my foot, and the 9 felt too long. I decided I'm not a Mary Jane kind of person as the ball area gapes open when I walk; the front edging as well as strap area was somewhat uncomfortable for me (could be as I've never worn Mary Janes and my current shoes are too big). It just felt flat and large, like a fisherman's sandal. I cannot comment on true to width or size as I don't know my consistent size (I've lost a lot of weight so my wider larger shoes are too large). Thank Zappos for making the orders and returns so easy!

I really wanted to keep these. However, while I don't have high arches or thick feet, the strap could barely make it to the velcro. Only a sliver reached it, so the shoe looked terrible and was very uncomfortable. A friend has these, and her pair fit me just fine, so I don't know if there was some sort of error in constructing this pair or this batch. Sadly must return. For what it's worth, the bed of the shoe felt heavenly, and I'm sure they would have been extremely comfortable to wear.

Very matronly looking shoe.

Uncomfortable. Loose fit.

I returned them because they were not xx wide
