Florsheim Men's Riva (Beige Leather 8.0 D)

Customer Reviews

Light, comfortable, stylish, reasonably durable

I have been wearing Florsheim Rivas for about 20 years (ever since I became unable to find the similar French Shriner model). I think they have a timeless, never-out-of-fashion elegance. More important, they are very comfortable. The all-leather upper is soft and pliable, and the plastic sole is soft, well cushioned, and noiseless when walking on hard floors. These shoes hold up pretty well; I wear mine about once a week and a pair lasts for 3 to 4 years or even more. The only problem is they are a bit expensive; since my last purchase, I have found similar shoes (including the long-lost French Shriners!) in the $60 to $70 range.

Wouldn't wear anything else

To me most shoes feel like someone strapped a 2x4 to my foot. These are THE most comfortable shoe right out of the box. And they last. A shoe salesman once told me "a good pair of shoes should last you 6 months, then you should replace them." I had no response. I left there and bought another pair of Riva's. I would tell you how long they have lasted but it has been so many years now I can't remember. I am not much for taking care of shoes either. True, I do polish them once a year but after that I take them through rain, snow, and salt covered sidewalks and it is a quarter-mile one way from the parking lot to my building. I think if you try these you will be as pleasantly surprised as I was with my first pair.

more comfortable than bare feet - seriously

Been buying the Riva's since the 80's, will be the last work shoe I purchase anymore. This is simply the most comfortable shoe made. Wish they made a tennis shoes.

Florsheim Riva Loafer

The shoes are excellent quality, good looking and very comfortable. The sizing for my particular shoe size is very good (not too tight, not too loose). The order turn around was excellent.

Riva Review

These shoes have been my favorites over the years, and are light weight, yet last a long time. Delivery was normal, and I would purchase these on-line, again.
