Customer Reviews Josef Seibel Rosalie 42

So disappointed I had to return these because I love color and style, and the quality seemed high. Also I loved the roomy toebox and snuggable ankle strap that held my narrow heel. However while they are cushioned, there is zero arch support and no way to sneak insert in an orthotic because there are no sides on the shoe. I debated trying that anyway, but when I walked in the shoe, the edge of the leather in the front kind of cut into my foot and that was a no-go. So I've returned. If you don't need arch support and your foot bends where the shoe does, give them a try.

ORDER YOUR USUSAL SIZE! Every time I follow the advice of reviews, they're wrong. This shoe is slightly wider than medium width, so for some, it may feel larger than their usual size. Width and length are not the same. 99.9% of the time I'm a size 40/9. I ordered a 39 in these because according to >40% of reviewers the shoes run a whole size larger. THEY DO NOT. The length is standard, so order your regular size and expect a slightly wider width. Despite the hassle of exchanging and re-ordering the larger size, it was fortuitous as the the larger ones were on sale!

I really love the comfort of these shoes. The style is not my favorite, but cute…it’s a little turned up at the toe. Considering the quality & comfort I will give it 5 stars. I wear a 8.5 -9 and have a medium-wide foot. Since other reviews said it ran ‘wide’ I ordered 8.5. A bit tight at first but then stretched just enough. Nice leather & the floral design on the sole is super cute.

I was prompted to right my first review ever because I'm angry at the TOTAL lack of support in these shoes. There was no arch support, and the soles had little cushioning, --I felt like I was walking on cardboard. Pretty shoes- though unwearable. After 4 hours of wearing, my feet were very painful and the balls of my feet bright red and swollen.

Material was nice, loved the colors, just roomier than most medium width and I am narrow. Realized I need to order narrow.

This is my fifth pair of these shoes, I love them. And since my stroke a year ago, the fit and feel is perfect.

I love these, ordered my normal size and they fit perfectly. In my opinion they don’t run large like others have mentioned. Seem to have adequate support assuming they likely won’t be worn all day/night.

Love the color and the shoe is comfortable. It feels wider than the other Josef Seibel shoes I've purchased in the past. But I do like the shoe and so far the size difference hasn't been a deterrent. It still provides adequate support.

Not my sense of this brand. The shoe ran large--a full size larger than my other shoes by this maker. But what disappointed most was the very minimal cushioning on the sole and the complete lack of arch support. Support is why I look to this brand, but this shoe disappointed me.

These are the perfect summer shoe if you want to hide your toes. I’ve never had a multicolored leather before and was curious to see what could all be worn with these. It turns out it goes with everything from red to green to brown to yellow. These are cute, go with everything, and are so very comfortable!

These were *almost* perfect for what I wanted. Very cute, adjustable enough to fit my narrow feet without socks. Seem well made. The navy blue color was what I was looking for. Unfortunately, the sides hit my ankle bones in an uncomfortable way. They'd be ok for just standing around but any walking was painful. Sadly, had to return them.

I'm a long 9.5 or a short 10. Eitherway, the 40 was a tad too short and the 41 was way too big. So unfortunately, I couldn't keep this shoe. I love the styling and color. The footbed felt soft enough to be comfortable. I could see some possible issues with blisters along the edges of the upper as it softened to wear. I was willing to try that, but the length being too short made it a no go. Love the blue color. Very unique in a sea of black and brown shoes.

I really wanted to keep these and they were quite comfortable except the back heel. It rubbed right where I don't want it to, and the leather is stiff/thick enough that I wasn't sure it would be any different when I broke them in. That was my only complaint with these, and I think otherwise they would be a great shoe.

Very comfortable. True to size. Roomy toe box. Not much arch support but work well for me. Looks good with all kinds of clothes.

These shoes are so cute!! Love them!!

The fit was perfect and truly comfortable. Pleased with the quality of the shoe and great colors.

This is my second pair of this shoe. It’s comfortable with or without socks. I like to wear them with cute socks. Fit was true to size. Width may be a bit wide, but not so much that my foot slides around. It’s just not tight across the toe box. Love them. Will get another pair if they come out in red!

Gorgeous + very comfortable!

The shoe is beautiful and comfortable and I usually wear a size 6.5 (37) but the shoe was much too big for my foot. I re-ordered in the next size down (36).

This is my second pair of Rosalie 42. Cute on the foot and very comfortable. Wore my first pair to pieces and am happy to have a brand new pair for the coming spring.

Shoes are super cute and comfortable. Was surprised how easily and quickly they scuffed along the toe and sides.I’ll continue to wear them, but they will definitely have a more broken-in look.

The shoes fit my foot but not comfortably. The stitching along the sides of the insole is rough and rubbed my feet. Also, the leather is quite stiff and would probably take some breaking in. Because of the rough stitching, I didn't want to chance it.

The fit and sizing on these were perfect. Unfortunately, the pair I was sent had water damage on the top of the leather and was clearly worn by someone before being sent to me. Zappos, please check your returns. This is an expensive shoe, to pay this much and clearly receive a pair of shoes that had been returned by someone else was a big disappointment. I would have done an exchange, but there were no more available in my size and color so I had to find another shoe.

HUGE. In a word these shoes run HUGE. They are at least a size and a half larger than they should be.

I truly enjoy this style.
