Customer Reviews Aravon Farren

I love these shoes. They don't look like old ladies shoes, even though I am one. I ordered a 1/2 size longer to accommodate extra width at the end. There is plenty of room to move my toes. I have a little bunion that feels just fine in the shoe. They are great for walking, polish up well so they have looked good for years. They accommodate my insert also as the bottom comes out.

These are great little shoes if you like support without stiffness. And the fact they come in a true narrow is wonderful. Be aware they do run a bit short. So, go up 1/2 to 1 size to be sure of a good ball of foot fit. If you don't know what that means there is a ton of info on YouTube about fitting shoes to the ball of your foot.

I have been searching for a shoe to wear with slacks that were not sneakers. I have a difficult time finding shoes and with the pandemic limiting in-person shopping I had to resort to trying to purchase a shoe online. This is the first shoe I found that fit very well. Medium width generally fits with some adjustment on my right foot but these were just right. So nice to have my orthotics fit and not have to make adjustments to one shoe for a better fit. So glad I found these.

These are beautiiful shoes, well made, comfort is great and I have a pair in white, Tbut the black was a little too manly for me.

I've only worn these shoes once, but they feel a bit more comfy than the last pair of Aravon shoes I purchased, which irritated the bony top part of my feet. They look great with jeans, and I expect I'll be wearing them a lot this winter when the weather turns cold again. It sounded like this shoe may be suitable for some medical conditions, but it looks like a regular black oxford shoe for walking and has good cushioning in the footbed.

Shoes are ok I would have liked them to be wider. I purchased 6.5 WW I have to wear thinner socks with them. I would like to see a tab on the tongue have a tab the laces run through. And longer and thinner laces. I replaced the laces they weren't long enough, They are really hard to get out of the holes. Over all they are nice shoes. I am looking for a wider black shoe that is stylish. This shoe was the closest I could find that didn't look like a tennis shoe.

Love this shoe.

My go to shoes when I want comfort more than anything else. They look nice with some outfits, but dowdy with others.

Well made, classic oxford. They needed, for me, at least, some break in time. Absurd lacing method impossible for my old fingers. Had to re-string. May replace laces with some easier to adjust.

They are very comfortable

I have trouble finding a comfortable shoe so I was amazed and very pleased that that the Aravon Farren is so comfortable. They are no things of beauty, but fit my requirements; big toe box, round toe, low heel.

I have only worn these shoes 1 day but liked them very much. I have a very narrow foot and use orthotics. I have a hammer pinky toe that hurts so I had the shoe stretched at the pressure point. Unfortunately the surface of the shoe cracked from the stretching so at this point I do not how the problem will be resolved. But I recommend the shoes.

This shoe was comfortable right out of the box and fits true to size. The insole that came with the shoes gives enough support for the amount of walking one does in non-athletic shoes. I like the 6 eyelet laces because they keep my foot secure without slippage. The laces appear to be waxed and sometimes come untied, but the shoes stay close to the foot till the laces can be retied.. The round toe makes them look slightly more feminine and they look nice with dress pants for work.

I have to wear custom orthodics and they fit perfectly. I have resigned to the fact that I hve to wear these type of shoes so it hurts my "style eyes" but my brain tells me we chose wisely.

I planned to wear my orthotics with this (so I sized up a half size) but they feel too snug w the orthotics. They are comfortable without looking "orthopedic."

Really nice, well made shoe. True to size and not at all like Grandma's shoes.

It was not large enough for me because of my big bunions. I am returning it. Otherwise, very nice looking shoe.

Tight in the toe box. I normally wear Medium shoes.

I've been wearing this shoe for awhile....it is comfortable, supportive and accommodates orthotics. The style has been around for awhile and I certainly hope that Aravon does not discontinue them!

Style was just not stylish enough. Have other styles of Aravon that I like better.

A nice looking shoe. I bought it for work since I'm on my feet all day. It runs narrow and I have to return them.

I had two pair of the Farren in Black Nubuck and was ready to order new ones BUT was disappointed to see Aravon has now discontinued the Nubuck. OH NO! And the black leather is plain ugly. It looks SO much more masculine I just can't do it! It looks like a man's dress oxford, not at all attractive. PLEASE ARAVON, BRING BACK THE NUBUCK! I've tried other styles to replace it and best so far is the Aravon Laurel boot. It was good for a winter shoe, but summer is coming and I don't know what I'll do then. The Aravon Collette sandals I tried (and had to return) last summer were so cute (especially the multi color lizard print), but the Velcro straps (one that goes across the instep and one that goes around the heel) were so short I couldn't even close it. And the length and width were just perfect otherwise. I read another reviewer comment she had the same problem. Please Aravon, make cuter shoes for those of us with bad feet but hate to give up style.

Beautiful shoe but it doesn't fit my problem feet. I am sorry to be so long in exchanging but I have been ill. Thank you for your assistance.

I bought these shoes last year because I realized I didn't have a good walking shoe. They run a little short, so instead of my usual 9 1/2 AA, I got a 10. I wear them with orthotics. I just bought another pair for "safe keeping" since it's so hard to find a show that fits well. The shoe is very plain but I don't care, as long as it fits. I would recommend it, especially for narrow feet.
