Customer Reviews Josef Seibel Caren 01

Love these!!!

Gorgeous leather “sneaker.” Really classic and classy. But, they were a BIT wide for my narrow feet. I’ll get some slide-in orthotics from the shoe store and see if that makes them more snug on me. The shoe itself comes with a really good insert.

Perfect

Retruning shoes as the color was not what I expected

I love these sneakers, Comfortable from the first time I wore them. And they are cute!

Extremely comfortable! Would love to get almost every color. Great design.

The arch support is very far back toward the heel, which felt odd to my foot. However the insoles remove easily, so you could swap them for something more typical. Leather appears somewhat lighter in person, but seems like it could be made darker with some leather conditioner if you prefer. The deal breaker for me was that the perforations aren't decorative - they go all the way through, making this not suitable as a winter shoe where there can be wet weather.

Recovering from a fractured foot and was looking for something other then a traditional athletic shoe. These are just what I was looking for. They were comfortable right away and I love the color. I am happy with these shoes.

While I like the shoe, I ultimately returned it due to lack of arch support...hurts back. But it's cute! I think the made in China issue is a big one.

Thje fit was right, but the style was not as expected. Much too intense for a casual slip on shoe

Looking for red sneakers, thought these were super cute! I am true size 5. While these were perfect in length, they were quite wide. I could tie the laces tight, but they looked funny. Opted for a size 5 red Converse that fit just right.

Loved the shoes but they run very, very large. I’m a standard size 7.5 but both the 37 and 38 were far too big.

I really wanted to love this shoe. It has sufficient padding for just a casual shoe, but the fit just wasn't comfortable. Disappointed. Sigh!

I have had Josef Seibel shoes. These do not fit the same. Although I have narrow width feet these were way too wide even extra padding. I did like the extra cushion ands support of the insoles.

too snug for me. And a bit chunky. I like more room in the toe box. Astra shoes have spoiled me.

The toe box is narrower than I expected, and the shoe pinches my left foot. Too bad, because they are so cute!

These were great except the heel slipped.

too wide for me.

Cute shoe too wide

Heel well is too shallow. It’s also wider than expected. Shoes look great. But did not fit.

I had purchased another Caren to replace my long lost Caspian sneakers which were perfect. The other Caren I bought last year had a hard sole like the Caspian, but this Caren has a soft sole. These were great on cobblestones and other hard surfaces while traveling, but this softer sole won't live up to the pressures of travel through ancient sites. Also the arch support is nonexistent, unlike previous versions of this shoe. Sadly they must go back.

Toe box much too big.

Length was good but it was wide in the heel

Like the style but color a bit disappointing - too gold/mustard color. Was hoping for more yellow like some that I have that are wearing out.

I bought this sneaker in black leather. It is well-constructed and stands up to daily wear. Decent arch support and great traction and walking comfort. So, I bought another pair in the silver/platinum colour. Same great comfort, BUT, after only 5-6 wears, the silver is flaking off, leaving a rough dark grey surface underneath. Very disappointing. Recommend sticking with one of the other colours and avoiding the metallic.
