User Reviews
Comfortable shoe looks nice and shines well z
These shoes felt like they made a custom mould of my feet, they fit so well. They are very comfortable and true to size and that is with wearing a medium weight sock. I especially like the all leather interior. Other slip on shoes that use a fabric or foam material in the heel area tend to wear out more quickly. I don't suspect that will be a problem with these shoes. Very pleased.
These shoes have fine styling and they fit right out of the box. Their waterproof rating is the deal-maker. I have several Florsheim shoes and have loved wearing them.
Easy to put on and waterproof to boot. Perfect for our Colorado climate where after a snow there is rapid melt and wet sidewalks. My husband let me measure his foot and using the Floresheim guide (stand forward) a 10.5 wide fit perfectly as promised.He was so happy with them.
I hate breaking in dress shoes...and there was absolutely no need to do so with these. They're as comfortable a shoe as I've ever purchased and I'll be getting another pair. [PS: have no idea how they hold up over time, but for strait up comfort they're awesome.]
These shoes seem to be good shoes. I am a senior and its hard to find shoes that are comfortable these days. I tried three different sizes before I found the size that was a close fit. I would not buy at the regular price but if they had a good sale I would consider about buying again.
I’m a flight attendant and these shoes are perfect. I can be in Alaska walking those ice and slush. Then the next day in Florida. These shoes are all weather and shine back up with a little buff.
Good quality leather with burnishing and solid outsole. These run about half size large so make sure to size down when ordering unless you like your foot coming up and out of the heel zone for personal comfort preference.
