Customer Reviews Aravon Farren

This is a great shoe and the most expensive shoe I have ever purchased. They are so comfortable and supportive for my flat feet. I have a wide foot and narrow heels and they accommodate that. Wish I could find them in a nice brown.

Really nice shoe. Attractive, well made, fits perfectly. The problem is the sole, which is not supportive. It failed my Podiatrist's flexibility test. Hold the heel in one hand, the toe in the other, twist the shoe from side to side and try to fold the toe up towards the heel. The shoe should resist and should not easily fold towards the heel. It was too flexible on all counts. It also failed my comfort test for the same reason - it didn't feel good under my feet. So, back to Zappos!

I wanted a shoe that was as comfortable as a sneaker, but looks like a dress shoe. This is particularly important to me in winter for trying to keep my feet warm. These shoes do look good and allow me to wear them with socks, so I am happy with them.

Nice-looking shoe for jeans or slacks. Iwas disappointed it wasn't deep enough for my bulky orthotics. Since I did not wear these shoes, I cannot fairly rate the comfort.

I like the black nubuck. I wear a leg brace, and found it a little narrow on that foot, but fit my other foot fine. I am worried that ordering another half size up will make it too large for my other foot. I may re-order after I look at other shoes. I am going on a trip and need comfortable walking shoes.

Great occasional, somewhat less obtrusive, alternative to my essential but clunky New Balance 812's.

The reb-brown leather is a bronze color and it's great. It looks like a narrow show but it is deceiving; it's all in how it's laced. Mine came tightly laced but once I replaced it the show felt good. It is firm but very supportive. The shank is great. A cushioned insert will make it a great shoe.

This was a really good looking shoe. I take a 8.5/9 and they didn't have the 9 so took the 8.5. I couldn't even get the shoe on. Have to return it. Seemed very narrow and at least a half size smaller. Luckily, Zappos is fantastic about returns.

Wished these shoes had fit. They were comfortable but not quite wide enough for my foot. Not only is my foot wide but I have a very high instep and just had foot surgery. Too bad these didn't come in an E or EE.

I like these. I don't find them as comfortable as sneakers like some other reviewers did, but overall feels decent. I have narrow heals with wider toes. The heal of this shoe fits well and my heal doesn't slip like it does with most shoes. I do wish that the toe area was wider.

After foot surgery, I needed better support in a tie shoe. These are very comfortable. Thinking of another pair in brown. Thanks, Zappos.

This shoe is good looking and well made. Unfortunately, it was not wide enough in the D width. Also my foot rolled to the outside because there was not enough support on the outside edge.

ITEM is very narrow. the tongue, shoe instep area is very narrow, edges of shoe are rough.

Had a mfg defect. I’m returning them

This medium width is a very narrow. It is also very stiff. I returned.

This shoe is at least 1 size too short and 1 size too narrow compared to my usual sized SAS shoes so will return them

Great looking shoe. Unfortunately, it was not as wide as it looks in the picture. I have wide feet.

I liike the looks of these shoes and the color. However, they were laced so tightly I couldn't get my foot into the shoe without redoing the laces. Further, when I measured the sole against other shoes of the same size and width, this shoe was almost a quarter of an inch narrower than the others. However, when I finally got my foot into the shoe, they felt ok.

The soles on these shoes were not cushioned enough -- my feet hurt after just testing them inside for 15 minutes! Otherwise, they appear to be well-made.

I've had these for a couple of years. They never seemed to get worn in. Hard as a rock. Hurt my feet as a result. As far as I know, this is a New Balance company but nothing like New Balance sneakers. Insole is removable for orthitics. I wouldn't buy again, and wouldn't recommend.

These shoes were very comfortable, but as I feared they just look too manly for me. I just couldn't make myself keep them. Wish they could combine that comfort with a little more style.

These are nice shoes with the deep toe box that I wanted. I have narrow heels and even with extra padding and my orthotic and a heel cup, my foot slid out of the shoe. Unfortunately, I will be returning them.

Sorry, I did not care for the lacing, even though I hope to find a shoe like my New Balance 811, but in black and a bit dressier. And with lightweight crew socks for casual wear, sliding into the shoe was difficult because of the lining. I prefer leather, I guess.

The arch support in the right foot shoe was not aligned correctly, and the right foot upper lining on the inside of the heel was pulled away and caused friction on my heel.

Toe box is not very wide, even though I even got a half size larger and extra wide to accommodate. Cute shoe though.
