Customer Reviews Florsheim Como Imperial Slip-On Loafer

I have a mixed review. These shoes fit great, are very soft and comfortable. For that I love them. Based on other reviews talking about a tight fit, I ordered E instead of D, and that made them fit great for me. Two items bother me. I have had problems with the heels scouffing. I guess I rub my shoes on chairs. But these were much worse than any other shoes I have had. I guess because they are so soft. The other problem is the sole came appart on 1 shoe after only 9 months of wearing once or twice a week. I got it glued for temporary fix, but will have to get a new half sole soon. I don't know if this is a common problem, or I got an exception. Even with the problems, I wish they came in brown so I could get another pair

Didn't quite meet expectations - Selected this shoe to replace somewhat cheaper Florsheim. Expected, on advice of others this shoe to be extremely comfortable and provide good arch support. Found medium comfort but not very good arch support. Will have to use insole which will likely impact fit. Have 10 1/2 EEE foot, and am hard to fit with good arch support. Too bad as looked forward to buying above line shoe.

Florsheim has lost its excellence - I really used to believe in Florsheim shoes. After my first pair, I kept buying them years ago. However, in the last four years at least, their shoes do not have the proper support for the feet. They do not support the arch and my feet are stretching too much. I will not be buying their shoes anytime soon unless they address that issue because my feet are just too important.

Mahogany Como Imperial - Very comfortable shoe but felt loose though purchased in B width. Quality construction

I’ve been wearing Florsheim shoes since 1980. I bought my first pair of Imperials shortly after that, and although they were very expensive, I always felt I got my money’s worth because the fit and comfort were the best I’d ever experienced. Since the soles wear out fairly quickly, I’ve had numerous pairs of Imperials since then and all have been what I have come to expect. A couple of weeks ago I bought a pair of Como Imperials from Zappos and am shocked to find that somebody at the Florsheim Company thought it would be a good idea to SEW labels in the insole RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of the heel area. The threads in the label contact my heel and make the shoe feel like there is sand in it. We all know how that feels. Not very comfortable. After all these years, how could they come up with an idea as stupid as that?

I have bought numerous pairs of Florsheim Comos Imperials over the past 10 years. I have been happy because they are comfortable, last a long time, and sizing is very consistent. Since production has moved to India, I have had two disappointing pairs. The first had the decorative strap break during the first few months. The second has a label that is attached in the heel area that I can feel through my socks. Earlier shoes had a printed logo. Oh well, all good things must end I guess.

Didn't wear well - Admittedly I am hard on shoes, but that is why I buy quality brands. The leather scuffed horribly on both this pair and a cordovan pair that I bought at the same time.

My shoe just doen't fit well. I always purchased Florsheim shoes but these just hurt my feet.

Running colors - The shoe is very comfortable. Unfortunately, the color seems to have run out of the leather, especially in the back of the shoe, where scuffs are likely. The shoe also feels like it could fall apart at any time.
