Top notch structure but poor quality leather .
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2017
These shoes are disappointing on such an important level. I bought them because I wanted well constructed shoes that would provide good support. In that regard they did not fail. Nine months later the sole barely shows signs of wear in spite of the fact that I wear them very often because of the support they provide. However, almost immediately after I began to wear them after buying them this past February the wrap that stretches across the toe bed split. Undeterred I went to the shoemaker and had it sewn. However now with the shoes again only 9 months old the leather is rapidly Splitting and peeling away. See photos attached. I did not expect shoes in this price range to be made with leather that fails this miserably.
Good looking but narrow toe box
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2018
Loved the look of these shoes. They are well made and the bronze color is a good neutral. I had to return these because the toe box is not deep enough. While the shoe is long enough for my foot, the top of the shoe pressed on my toes when I walked. It was uncomfortable enough from the get go that I had to return them.
These shoes look great with a skirt or slacks

Cheap at twice the price. These shoes look great with a skirt or slacks. Look professional but have the support and comfort of your favorite New Balance Sneaker. I've become a missionary for these shoes and tell every waitress and salesclerk about them. Buy them, you won't regret it.
Disappointing shopping experience
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2019
I was really excited about these shoes because I needed something classic for work wear. I ordered the extra wide hoping for enough room in the toe box (it was still too narrow) but found that the heal slipped off making for an overall poor fit. I went to return them hoping to exchange for a narrower width only to find out (buyer beware!) not only does the buyer have to pay for return shipping, but also a 20% restocking fee! That made the return not worth it so now I'm stuck with a useless pair of shoes. I've had great experiences buying many other shoes on amazon (and even exchanging them for a better fit at no cost to me) so I was really disappointed with this seller's policy and will now be reluctant to buy shoes on amazon in the future.
Worth every penny!

One of the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever worn. I first was introduced to Aravon when I bought a pair of casual shoes. They were so comfortable and supportive that when I needed a pai of dressy flats, I decided to try Aravon as well. I have not been disappointed. They required no breaking in and I wore them all day without problems. They offer great arch support, great cushioning, and are very flattering. I'm a huge fan now.
Well-made, attractive shoe that offers support

The shoe was a little rigid above the toes initially, but it has relaxed with a week's wear. I bought this because my doctor recommended New Balance and apparently Aravon is a New Balance company. I suffered a calf injury and I'm experiencing all sorts of issues with muscles and tendons in my leg and foot now. I'm a flight attendant... years of miles and miles in heels have taken a toll. Heels are a thing of the past for me, unfortunately, and I've invested in footwear that offers real support. These are my go-to shoes for looking less casual/more dressy without reaching for the high heels. Much like wearing athletic shoes and not at all like wearing dress shoes. I'm quite happy with these!
2E width and/or toe box is a little narrow
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2019
These Andrea-AR Ballet Flat shoes are cute and the footbed is extremely comfortable, so I wanted to love them -- but the supposedly extra-wide (EE/2E) is just a bit narrower than it should be and I ended up with a blister on one of my pinky toes. As with most shoes, there is no arch support, so if you need that you'll have to add your own. In conclusion, I wish I'd seen the Q&A recommendation of ordering a half-size larger than your normal, because these may have fit better then. For the cushiony footbed alone, these shoes are worth trying, if you can find the correct length and width.
Such a cute shoe but wide heel
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2019
Very cute shoe. Wish I could have kept it. Unfortunately, when I tried it on it went shlep-shelp-shlep almost like a flip flop because the heel was too wide. So I returned it in spite of the 20% restocking fee. This rerstocking fee is a first for me in making a return on Amazon. Read the fine print, eh?

Stylish AND comfy. What a combo! I love these shoes. They're well made, flexible, and seriously comfortable.

I love Aravon shoes - great support, well made and durable. Typically only wear in the winter as the material doesn't breathe and can create really sweaty (aka stinky) feet in the summer.

Fits well and there was some stretch afterwards. Very comfortable. Bought l the hard to find size 13.

Very comfortable, however, the sole is bubbling on both shoes. I've had less expensive shoes last far longer.
