Comfort and quality

Normally wear a size 10.5 or 10 and the 10 was a good option. Fits well with a no sock look. The leather is soft and comfortable.

First time in my life…

that I have a pair of shoes that I love walking in, right out of the box. Specifically fitted to my feet (that includes a bunion), they are a dream. Although they are technically a man’s shoe, as a female they look great on my feet as well. The minute a fellow flight attendant saw them and learned they were custom made, he demanded to know how to order them for himself. The leather and workmanship are truly beautiful.

The Best Barefoot Shoes

The Viento is merely the latest of my Adelante collection, and, like all the others, totally stylish and super-delightful on bare feet (never worn with socks). The Viento IS lighter and airier on the foot, which does make it a splendid choice for good-weather wear. Vientos, no socks, and a sweet spring breeze! You can't ask for more!

My husband absolutely loves these shoes and wears them everywhere. They are becoming more comfortable each time he wears them. I'll definitely be treating him to another pair of shoes from Adelante in the future.

Classic. Will buy again.

These are my favorite shoes. The reviews about ordering a slight size down are true. You can dress them up or down with whatever you’d like to wear. They are comfortable and timeless in style.

Lovely to look at and

Lovely to look at and comfortable to wear and very well crafted. They do appear somewhat fragile which means I'll have to take extra care with when and where aI wear them them.

Most comfortable shoes I own!

I love these shoes!!! I purchased two pair and practically live in them! The fit is perfect for my wide, hard to fit feet. I have two pair of Santoni shoes I bought in the 90s and have always worn those as my main choice for sockless summer wear. They've been re-soled multiple times. I haven't put either on since your shoes were delivered.

Great shoes, great service

The shoes look and feel outstanding. I get compliments on them all the time. Customer service was excellent. I had to send the first pair back, because they were a little too big, but they remade the shoes for me with no problem.

Fantastic dressy-casual shoes

Love these loafers! They're the perfect combination of dressy while being casual enough to wear with jeans and very comfortable for summer days.

BUY THESE - Most comfortable shoes ever!

These shoes are easily the most comfortable, out-of-the-box shoe I have ever owned. I wore these around the streets of Rome, Florence and Milan for a week and a half, and they were as comfortable as your favorite slippers the entire time. GREAT product; I will be looking into more in the near future!

These shoes are perfect! I

These shoes are perfect! I purchased 2 pairs (Brown and Black) and I live in them! I'd recommend these shoes and the Adelante shoe company overall. I have two other pairs of shoes as well and like them just as much.

Absolutely awesome shoe. The recommendation to order a .5 size smaller from other reviews is valid. Otherwise. My favorite pair of shoes. Awesome quality and love supporting a sustainable brand.

This is my third pair

This is my third pair of Vientos purchased in a short period of time. I like the style and the comfort. Time will tell if they hold up under daily wear. I would like to see them made with slightly thicker upper leather.

Look great but less comfortable

Style and leather are great. Thin sole and low heel make the shoes uncomfortable after an hour or two. I had hoped the good leather would mean a comfortable shoe, but for me, it has not.
