The best-looking, most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. At first I was hesitant buying these because of the price. I bought them from a department store in Amarillo while I was visiting my mother. I had only taken one pair of shoes with me for the trip down, probably all I needed but while in the store looking for socks I wandered over to the shoes. I had developed a slightly painful porokeratosis (clogged sweat gland) next to my big toe on my left foot and hoped I might find a shoe with a little larger toe box for comfort sake. I tried these on, bought them without hesitating and two weeks later bought an identical pair through your store. So there! Josef Seibel has my vote for my shoe wardrobe. And Zappos had the right price. Plus, Zappos got them to me in two days! Thanks Zappos.

This shoe is absolutely one of the best I have ever had. I have worn them constantly for the better part of a year now. It is very light weight and the leather is very, very soft. The stitching has shown no signs of weakness, I should add. It fits like a sock right out of the box. I am on my feet all day, and on a hard surface. It has all of the support you will need to stay comfortable. I also like the timeless design, yet with a slightly distinguished sole in the back. The sole on the heel really helps protect the shoe while driving as well.

I was looking for something closer to the dressy end of the spectrum than my usual fare and picked these based upon their simple appearance and a positive experience with Seibel sandals in the past. The Walt's are light, incredibly comfortable out of the box, and casual enough to be really versatile. The only question mark might be their durability but their light construction also makes them my new favorite driving shoes.

Some surprises, but great shoe - Surprised at thin leather (for a cold weather NE person, this is important). Also, the front part of the shoe looks a lot wider in person than online (duck-like). The color when new is red-brown. After wearing for a couple weeks, have gotten used to the shape of the shoe and the color has darkened to more brown. Overall great shoe, fantastic comfort.

I have yet to find a shoe that felt as good from the start as the Clarks Duke. That shoe is discontinued, sadly. This one is the closest so far, even though it required a few days of break in before it felt really comfortable. Also, the soles are pretty squeaky on the painted concrete floor I walk on most of the day.

Great Seibel Walts - These shoes are great! They are comfortable the moment you slip them on and each time after. I would recommend these to those who have to work on hard surfaces at work but are required to wear a dress shoe.

Great walking and business work shoe. The rubber sole reduces the shock on the heel.

Seibel = always good - Seibel shoes are my favorite; Ecco runs a close second.

The soles on the Walt and Vijay are too thin. What happened to the thick rubber soles on the older Josef Seibel shoes? These shoes have soles that are too thin and slippery. I will purchase no more of this brand until quality is restored.
