Josef Seibel Paige Shoes - Mary Janes (For Women)

I purchased these shoes in the brown color. I work long days with a lot of walking. I can wear these into the evening and still be really comfortable. I use a Spenco innersole in all of my shoes (these included). I have gotten a lot of compliments when wearing these shoes.

I love Josef Seibel shoes but am concerned about the consistency of their sizing--especially when ordering online. Since I had a pair of size 38 that fit perfectly,I ordered a size 38 in this shoe. When it arrived, I discovered that it is almost a full size larger than my other pair. Otherwise, I find that Seibel shoes are the most comfortable, durable, stylish casual shoes I've ever purchased.

This shoe was just overall too big. So big that I could not tell that if I had the correct size if it would be a comfortable shoe or not. I have several other Joseph Seibel shoes and they fit like a dream. Not sure what happened on the sizing of this one.

I bought these shoes over a year ago at a local shoe store when I needed something presentable (immediately) for a conference. I ended up walking over a mile every day and luckily they did not need any break in period. In summer I wear them with thick cotton crews socks of various colors and in winter I can wear two pairs of wool socks and they still fit well. The adjustable nature of the velcro strap makes it work. I usually wear US Womens 10 Med. and 41 in Birkenstocks and these 41s fit fine. My feet are more wide than narrow although I've never owned a pair of wide sized shoes. The reason I'm rating this shoe now is because I ordered a different pair of JS shoes (Vanessa) from STP (I wanted something that covered more of my foot for winter and rainy weather)and that 41 is quite a bit too small all over. I like a lot of wiggle room in my shoes. Warning: JS shoes are not all sized the same way, nor do they all have the same comfortable removable insole that this Mary Jane/Paige has. Haven't found a better shoe anywhere.

I needed a flexible ,casual walking shoe and NOT a sneaker/tennis shoe. This shoe fits the bill. great comfort and style. too bad it is a discontinued style. I will keep these in my closet for a long while.
