The toes looked a little scuffed but not enough to send them back. They're very comfortable and supportive, and I have enough room for my orthotics. I'd recommend them.

Really nice looking shoe however for me the shoe was too wide at the heel and cut low at the big toe.

this seems would be comfortable, but my regular size 8 was tight and short....

These fit well, toe box is good. The leather and straps are pretty. I returned because the low heel made them look matronly to me.

Really nice looking and comfortable shoe which I got in 11D. Unfortunately, the straps were too high on me, they hit my leg and felt like they would rub it too much. Too bad because they are sharp.

A little bit "maiden-aunt" in style, they are true to size and more comfortable than any pair of heels than I have ever had. I'm no maiden aunt but I'm wearing them anyway :-)

These feel like quality shoes. They are too long, so I am returning them and will try a half size smaller. I normally wear a 8 or 8 1/2W. The 8W is too long but was perfect in the toe box. Hoping the 7 1/2W will do the trick.

I love this shoe! This is my second pair but the inside was damaged so I had to return it.

Super cute and comfortable, however the strap was not long enough and even popped off when started to walk which made me stumble - shoes going back.

These are exceptionally comfortable shoes. Almost every pair of dress shoes I've ever owned is too tight in the toe box for me. These are not. However, as others have mentioned, they run quite large, especially in the wide width. I usually wear a 7-1/2 or 8, and had to order these in a 7 -- and they're still a bit roomy in the heel. I didn't think I'd mind, since there is a strap to keep them in place, but unfortunately the top part of the strap rubs rather uncomfortably against the front of the ankle if you try to tighten it. So the bottom line is that they are extremely comfy for a pair of dress shoes, but that's at least partly because they are just a tiny bit too big and loose. I can live with that, but the search for a pair of perfect-fitting dress shoes continues.

Plenty of room for toes (my bottom line for shoes) but despite the low heel, my foot slid forward when walking bumping against the end. Very cute otherwise. Probably just right for a different foot.

Well made shoe. Looks stylish and fun, good enough to wear with a dress, but very comfortable. The adjustable strap ensures a secure fit. Nice round toe box, with a bit of a heel-- may be technically 2 inch when you count the sole platform, but it's more like 1.5. If there were a 12.5, that would have been perfect, but this fit me in a size 13 with the addition af a pad under the removable sole. (I usually wear a 12, but my size 13 Aravon waking shoe fits, giving me the confidence to order this one.

These shoes were comfortable right out of the box. The style is ok, a little too matronly for my taste. The Navy color actually looks more gray than blue. So I will be returning them.
But I do plan to order shoes in black, since I rarely find anything that is comfortable and is dressy. Besides, I will be wearing these with a formal, so you won't really be able to see them.
I just wish someone would sell an orthopedic dress shoe, for wide feet, that are stylish.

The metal buckle rubbed the inside of my foot and was painful. Otherwise, these would be pretty comfortable. But only moderate arch support, so back they go!

The buckle on the inside rubbed against the bone on the inside of my foot. They also only had moderate arch support.

A little loose in the back but still comfortable. I have super narrow heels but need some toe room

Great looking shoe that would have been perfect for a wedding or even for something more casual - but oddly the right shoe's metal buckle rubbed a small bone on my inner foot. These didn't work for me and rather disappointed they didn't but do give them a try as they are the perfect height with good style and have a comfortable supportive foot bed.

Nice looking shoe, but runs small.
I will return and look to buy half size larger if possible.

I was trying to replace a line of Clark's that got discontinued. This is the closest I've found, at least for comfort. But I just don't find them very attractive. I kept them for a while trying to persuade myself to wear them and am giving up and returning them.

So comfortable! I'm very impressed with this brand. Ultimately the look wasn't what I was looking for, but they do have some nice style elements in addition to the comfort and support.

Very nice, but runs a bit short. I'm returning with regret-- if they were a half-size larger (I'm a 12), it might be right.

Oh Aravon, can't you make shoes look more sexy? They are super comfy but geez, I would love a bit of a higher heel and sexier straps. These are grandma shoes! I found cuter shoes with Earth Wanderlust which can accommodate my chunky orthotics as well. The Aravons can also accommodate orthotics so easily and are very comfy, but the style just isn't where it should be for ages 20-40. Just my opinion. Im sure Aravon will reinvent their styles soon and until then, i'll be waiting!

This shoe is comfortable. However, it is not for someone with a slender foot. It seems to run large and I had to size down a 1/2 size. The heel area is very large, so you may encounter some slipping. I consider this a somewhat attractive "Granny" shoe, but I wanted a shoe for walking in a large city so I kept the shoes.

These are such nice shoes but unfortunately they are too big and a bit wide. I ordered my normal size but need at least a half size smaller.

In the search for the most comfortable, standard dress shoe -- in a size 9D, it's much wider and longer and most. May just keep the Munro shoes from last year...bummer! Will order Aravon again, though!
