Customer Reviews Aravon Portia

These shoes are beautiful! They are wide enough but the toe box is a little tight. I would not want to walk a great distance in them, but for my needs they are perfect.

Fantastic! I have such a hard time finding shoes that fit comfortably! I have double wide Flintstone feet (no pointy toes for me thanks!) And these fit! And are comfortable! Wow. Finally a keeper, with every penny.

very comfortable shoe, but the straps hit a high instep just right to make it uncomfortable..a single strap would have worked. hated to send them back.

SUPER comfortable! After two broken feet I have trouble finding cute 'orthopedic' shoes that fit properly. Adjustable straps for times that I my feet still swell a bit, plenty of room in the toe box, no metatarsal pain. Thrilled with this purchase!

Since I have very narrow feet, I always have difficulty in finding shoes that don't slide off my feet. I am so happy that I found these shoes. They fit and feel great. These shoes still allow me to put an insole in the bottom of my shoe. I know they look a little matronly, but they are still pretty shoes.

Cute shoe, good comfort, but the strap for it is not long enough for my high instep.

Shoes look terrific and they fit perfectly! I have bunyons and very wide feet and these shoes both look great and feel comfortable.

I needed a shoe that was comfortable for walking/standing but could pass for somewhat dressy. This was a great choice - and worth the cost.

Thrilled with these shoes - I have bunions and was getting desperate for a decent looking closed shoe to wear with business attire. I ordered a wide width which was great for the bunion and my foot was held firmly in place by the strap. It looked totally fine with pants - I like that it has a little heel rather than a rubber wedge but it still feels like a comfort shoe. I'm going to get more in other colors. This is the first time I tried Aragon - didn't know it was a New Balance product but it makes perfect sense - much more comfortable than the Munro Mary Jane style I bought last year.

I was really disappointed to be returning this shoe. It is super comfortable in the footbed and had an excellent overall fit on my narrow foot and heel. However, the buckle where the strap folds over just hits my foot in the wrong place. I think the shoe would have been better with a single Mary Jane strap rather than this fold-over style - both more comfortable and more attractive.

Beautiful shoes! So comfortable. I have problem feet and do a lot of walking--I walk to work in Manhattan every day. I put these on and not only are they super comfortable, but really pretty on my feet. The velcro strap makes it a cinch to fit my foot perfectly.

These shoes are worth every penny that I paid for them. Everyone loves them and more importantly, they are the most comfortable shoes ever.

I bought this shoe so I could go dancing. It is comfortable and fit nicely from the moment I put it on...no "break in" time. The strap has an adjustable velcro buckle that is easy to use. The arch support is wonderfully soft yet firm. I really like the style and the colorful sides. The bronze color is a little lighter than I thought it'd be but not so "brazen" that it looks bad with black pants.

Comfortable right out of the box for me, as I have come to expect for Aravon. This is the most comfortable brand for my wide feet. Worth every penny. This particular style is a little dowdy, but I plan to wear these with slacks so they'll be OK.

These are great shoes that are comfortable, cute and excellent quality. For ordinary feet, these shoes are perfect, but I have a cross-over toe and need a larger toe box, so I am returning them.

Very nice! I have difficult to fit feet- think a duck. Wide at the toes (very wide!), sort of narrow at the heels. Nice to have a pair of shoes that are a little bit cuter.

In my no-longer-endless search for really comfortable shoes - a little dressy, and with a bit of a heel - for choir concerts, I ordered a ridiculous number to try. I'd searched for brand recommendations for shoes with a wide toe area and narrow heel and had found Aravon on a short list. Well, these babies won the competition, but I had to play around with the size. Thanks to a neuroma "situation" in the last couple of years, I've gone to Wide. But I found myself swimming, lengthwise, in my usual 9W. So I ordered two more pairs, in 8.5D and 8.5EE. I ended up keeping the last one: first 8.5 shoes I've bought in many years; first EE ever. They're not quite perfect - the heel is still too roomy (duh, they're EE) - but the strap makes everything nice and secure, and the overall comfort is great. (This assessment comes following their first busy concert day, too!) And the amazing thing is, they really don't look all that wide, nor do they have that depressing long boat look. I think the diagonal lines of the strap help with this. Dare I say they're almost dainty-looking on my not-so-dainty feet? Even after paying more than I usually do, I am relieved and happy. Thanks, Z!

This is a great dress shoe. The size is a true fit for sure and it's wonderful that it comes in a narrow fit. The heel height is just right for a dressy look without being in too high of a heel for all day wear. The colors are wonderful, I especially like the navy. The fact they can be used well with a custom orthotic is even more of a plus.

Finally! A pair of heels I can still wear! With heel spurs, bad knees and other problems I had given up trying to find nice shoes to wear with dresses, I would just wear pants. I found a dress I really loved, and I decided to try one one time, since Zappos has free shipping both ways. First I tried Trotters, in 2 sizes, but they didn't work for me. I read the reviews for Aravon, and decided to try just one more time. So glad I did! They were wonderful right out of the box. I'm a 7 1/2 WW, and the toe box is generous, the support is great, with really good cushioning. The style and the color go with so many things, I intend to wear them a lot.

I have worn these shoes once so far, and they were very comfortable, even after a number of hours. I am very pleased with them, even though they cost more than I ever spend on shoes.

This shoe is true to size. It has good arch support.The outside finish is nice, and fashioned for lots of differ looks. however, the minute I put the shoe on my feet begin to sweat and at the same time be cold. Therefore, I must return. xo to Zappos!

These are one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on my foot!This brand is part of the new balance family so that makes sense. I highly recommend these if you plan to do a lot of walking and want a casual heel.

These are super comfortable shoes. I am 73 years old and have had surgery on both feet and wear orthotics too. I bought them for dress occasions, but I feel they could be worn for everyday as they are that comfortable. I really appreciate that Zappos offers so many different brands.

These shoes are perfect! Comfortable, true to size, and excellent quality. They don't hurt my hammertoe and yet have a removable insole that allows me to put in my own arch support. Hooray! Aravon, please continue the good work but consider making something this comfortable with a bit of a more sexy look. Zappos - thanks for all your great service.

It's been a few years since I had to buy a dressier shoe. Thank goodness for Zappos, with their extensive collection of wide widths. I rejected 7 other shoes before choosing these. They are comfortable right out of the box. The heel is stable but not too matronly. I found that with the previous 7 rejects, if the toe box was wide enough, my heel slipped out. The straps on this one keep the shoe firmly on my foot. The fake-snake on the side give it some hipness. And my high arches are happy to get some support. Aravon for the win!
