| I tried to order these shoes featured in TravelSmith magazine for a trip to Europe as they touted them as the most comfortable perforated walking shoe. By the time I decided to order they were out of every color and size. I went on-line to find them elsewhere and read all the reviews I could find. Most rated these shoes very high in comfort, however one lonely review hated the squeak they made on some surfaces (such as bare wood floors, my experience in my kitchen) and suggested not wearing them to museums and etc. They were very disappointed. This worried me since we were visiting museums, palaces and etc. so I chose not to wear them on indoor sightseeing excursions which limited where I could wear the shoes. I bought two pair of $100 range comfort shoes and both pairs (of different brands) were by far the only comfortable shoes for miles and miles of walking in London and Paris and Normandy. My cheap shoes stayed in my suitcase. Everywhere we went I saw women with tissue stuffed in their shoes because of blisters, etc. I was blister free if I didn't wear my cheapie shoes. |

| I love these shoes! I first bought a black pair and wore them out walking and walking; after 2 years they had a hole in the bottom. Even with the hole, they were comfortable. I discovered the hole because I was walking in the rain! This time, I bought this same style in Hazelnut, Red, and Black. They are the most comfortable shoes I own. True, I am no fashion plate, but I live in DC and walk constantly. At least I am not wearing white athletic shoes! These shoes are cute with or without socks, with jeans, shorts, or skirts. I wear them all year round, except in extreme snow when I pull out my Uggs or in extreme rain when I pull out my Chimyoos. |

| I have these in most all of the colors because they are "tried and true"! Feels broken in right out of the box but sturdy enough to provide support. With the cut outs, they conform to your foot shape much easier than solid leather shoes. With arthritis, I have a terrible time finding shoes I can wear with little or no pain yet still be considered "nice". These are it! I get so many compliments from both women and men every time I wear any of the colors in this style. I believe I bought my first pair about six years ago (and they still look new!) and now have several pairs. A sure bet! |

| Love these! They arrived this past Monday so I wore them in the house for three evenings. Today I wore them to work, and not only did my coworkers love them I barely knew that I had shoes on. For the price they really should be as fabulous as they are. Now I want to get the red ones. Thank you Zappos for such great service. I have been shopping your site for about six years now and I love it! |

| Every 5 years, I look for the "perfect shoes" and get a few pairs of the same style. I bought the first pair at a shoe store in Berkeley, and found out that for this brand, I wear half a size smaller than my normal shoe size. My feet are "picky" and can end up hurting in some areas after the 2nd or 3rd full-day of wear. These are soft and easy on my feet, day after day. |

A most comfortable shoe!!! I LOVE the shoe and will probably try more of the Rieker styles. The shoe tends to be a "hair" long and wide. For a better fit, I inserted one of those Dr. Scholls pads so the shoe wouldn't "flap" as I walked. After I wear it for a while, I will probably have to use maybe a double thickness of the pads. The shoes are very comfy, just a bit too roomy.

| These shoes are wonderful! They feel like a slipper from the moment you put them on. I wore them on vacation - long days of walking and standing, sometimes on uneven surfaces - and my feet always felt great. Easy to slip off and on at the airport. I would not hesitate to buy them again. Bought my usual shoe size and they fit fine. |

| Great shoes! I was looking for a shoe with a wide toe box, good arch support, and some style. This shoe does it! The shoes are really light and offer great support. After standing for hours and walking long distances, my feet feel great. Based on other reviews, I got a half size smaller than usual, and they fit like a glove. |

| Travel walker - These are excellent shoes all the way around. They fit perfectly the first time I put them on and are as soft as butter and as light as air. I bought the red ones; I love colored shoes and these are a good shade. I have received many compliments on these shoes. Thanks, Zappos! |

| These are the coolest, most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. They fit like gloves. They are so fabulous, in fact, that I have bought 3 pairs. (Yes, I love them so much that I wear them out!) I will buy a pair a year as long as they are still available. |
