Customer Reviews Josef Seibel Sina 11

I really wanted to like this shoe but there was a seam that hit the joint on my big toe that hurt. Cute shoe but didn't work for me.

I've been wearing Josef Seibel tennis shoes for quite some time. Ordered these as a replacement to Caspian as I have worn this style of shoe for 8+ years. In Caspian, I wear a 40. Will be returning the Sina 40 for a 39. The shoe felt much larger. There is quite a bit more padding in the Sina though, so looking forward to trying the shoe in a smaller size.

The reviewer who said she was a 39 in other shoes but a 40 Josef Seibel was right on target. I just didn’t heed her advice. I got my standard size 39 and they felt good. Maybe a little snug but I thought they would loosen to fit me. They did not. After many wearings the leather has softened but the shoe feels short on my foot, even though there is plenty of length in the toe box. Not sure I’ve ever had exactly this issue with a shoe, but I may reluctantly order a 40 and see how they feel. I really like the style and workmanship, which are very good. I just hate to make mistakes like this when all I needed to do was order up a size.

I love these shoes! The only thing I would change is the light colored sole. Looks dirty:( I tried to magic eraser, but it only helped a little. I probably wouldn’t buy another pair, because of that reason.

Not as much support as I was hoping for, and they were too narrow for me. My foot is slightly wide but not enough to need a W. I think the pink would make a nice neutral.

Cute shoe but really narrow. I couldn't really evaulate the fit or comfort because I didn't want to keep my foot in the shoe for any length of time. Might work if you have narrow feet.

These are a very attractive shoe but not comfortable enough to justify the price tag. There is something in the heel that rather than cupping your foot feels like a bump pressing into your heel. There is no arch support so you'd definitely need orthotics for these. The ankle also feels like I'd be riddled with blisters for a long while until they broke in.

I really liked the look of these shoes but even with my custom orthotics there is just no arch support, the shoe is absolutely flat.

I ordered this shoe because I have always loved Josef Seibel shoes and find the quality to be very high. They last awhile, are comfortable and work well with my orthotics. This pair was disappointing. I have had them about 8 months and the stitching is starting to come undone on both shoes. The soles are worn out. I imagine this would be typical for any other shoe for this length of wear, but in the past I've been able to wear a pair of JSs for a year or two before needing to replace them. So sad about these. :(

I wish I had sent these back. They are just not that comfortable or exciting.

I really like these shoes, but there is a problem with a bulky seam in the right shoe near the eyelet nearest the big toe. It presses against the joint and is painful. The seam in the left shoe is smoother, so I think this is a defect.

I didn't care for the brown-ish color but it was the fit that truly made me decide to return it. The bottom is quite stiff compared to other Josef Seibel shoes (and I've had 5 or 6 pairs). And it overall just didn't fit correctly so I'm unfortunately returning it and ultimately going to try the other style.

I agree with others who said this shoe runs small. I ordered my usual 42 (US 11) and ugh...my poor toes were so squished. I didn't have the option of going up a size since a 43 isn't an option. They seemed like they would've been comfortable, had they fit. The style is cute and the leather felt great, so if you're able to go up a size from your usual, you'll be right as rain.

These are absolutely beautiful shoes! I wanted to love them but felt they lacked some cushion. I don't think I will be happy with these long term for walking because of the thin soles. Otherwise, very comfy (leather very soft) and stylish.

So cute but REALLY narrow. My feet are on the wide side but not so wide that I have ever needed to buy a pair of shoes that are W. In fact anytime I’ve tried on W shoes they’re way too wide. Anyway, these shoes are fine in the length but super tight and uncomfortable in the width. I will be returning. I have other shoes made by Josef Seible and I love them so thought these would work.

Loved the style and arch support of this shoe, but as others remarked, it runs a little small.

They were cut very narrow and were more green than the metallic that seems to appear in the photo.

I’ve been searching for a low profile tennis shoe that is both stylish and comfortable for a long time. These came close but this style seems to run small. I’m typically a size 11 and the 42 in the style was too narrow in the heel, too short overall, and too small in the toebox. The leather seems a bit stiff but may soften and stretch out. The arch support in the shoes was moderate but apparent so I’m sad to return them.

To me these felt uncomfortable right out of the box. The leather was a bit stiff, and hurt when I walked. I used the size recommendation based on other shoes I wore with my custom orthotics, but these were too small to fit with the orthotics. I returned the shoes.

LOVED this shoe until the front seam split near the laces after only 90 days of moderate wear. Expected more from the price point and have never had a problem with Seibel's before. Will go for the Ecco (similar style).

With other reviews of cute and stylish these shoes did not meet my expectations. They had obviously been tried on before (torn box and debris on the soles) but did not look worn more than for a size check. I immediately noticed that the ankle hole looked giant. As if they had been totally stretched out compared to a shoe that I would say is attractive. Proportions seemed more appropriate for a men's shoe. I also did not find the recommendation to order up a size worked for me. Overall since the style fell flat I am not re ordering in my correct size.
