Eastland Amore are my favorite travel shoes because they are well made and comfortable for walking.
I used to purchase them from The Walking Store. This is the first time purchasing from Amazon. I noticed some differences in the leather. Please see the two pictures attached. The leather on my previous pair has a pebble texture and it feels a lot softer. The new pair has a smooth, shining texture and it feels more rigid.
The new pair feels nice and fits well just like my previous pair (my normal size is 7.5). Because of the smooth texture and shining finish, the new pair looks more dressy.
I do prefer the leather of the older pair. The pebble finish on the old pair was scratch resistant, and it has held its shape very well. I do like this new pair too. I hope the leather will soften up and no crease marks will result due to the rigidity of the leather. And I hope I don’t get scratches on this smooth leather.

I have 2 medically implanted screws in my large toe on my right foot and it is very difficult to find a shoe that is comfortable. I purchased my first pair 3-4 years ago when I was in Maine and this fall I got a crack across the soul.The upper part was still perfect. I was panicked because none of my other shoes were as comfortable. I finally found the Eastland Amores on line and even though they were quite a lot more than I paid for my first ones I bought them anyway and I am very pleased with them. If they ever go on sale, I would like another pair in a different colour.

I’ve worn Eastland shoes for years. They provide great comfort, quality and fashion.

My old pair of Eastland Amore’s lasted almost 5 years and this style has always been my favorite. I buy them in black, but may branch out in the brown, too. They are comfortable (for me) right out of the box. Sometimes I slip in a Dr. Scholl’s orthotic, if I know I will be doing a lot more walking than normal, but don’t feel as though I really need the extra arch support for normal wear around town when I am running errands or have appointments. I wear them mostly with thin ankle socks, but have been comfortable with thicker ankle-high sport socks, also. I think you would have to order a half size up if you wanted to wear thicker socks than that. And if you did wear very thick socks, it would stretch out the leather a little and might not be a good fit for thinner socks afterwards.
I give them a 4 instead of a 5 star rating, because stepping through wet grass or a shallow puddle, will result in a bit of moisture seeping through the stitching where the leather joins the shoe. You need to treat that area with something; mink oil or a a synthetic waterproofing cream I think.

I bought these shoes to wear to work, where I am on my feet all day. I bought them to replace a pair of Keen slip-ons that are extremely comfortable but had become worn out. I ordered them in a size 6.5 first, but they were very small and I had to return them for the size 7. They are still a bit snug, and quite narrow, but the fit is acceptable. There is not much padding in the sole, unfortunately, but my arch is too high to accomodate supplemental padding. All in all, I like the look and they were good enough to keep, but they are not all that I had hoped. I would definitely recommend buying one half-size larger than you usually order.

I’ve been wearing this exact shoe type for the past 5+ years. So comfortable!! The only thing i dislike is there is no traction at all on the bottom of the shoe and can get slippery in the rain.

Love them!

Just ordered two more pairs because I like these so much and I’m afraid they will stop making them. I am very rough on my shoes, live in the country and rarely stop to change shoes when I get home to take the dogs for a ramble out and about. These shoes are extremely comfortable and durable. I have a high arch and need plenty of room in the toe box. These do all that, plus give me a couple of inches that make me look a wee bit dressed up for work, and look great with pants. I wear them every day. These are an improvement on the model that have a seam down the middle, as they are not quite as clunky looking, have a more elegant line, plus the leather doesn’t scuff up as easily. I do wish they had just a bit more tread, as the sole does not offer quite as good traction as some of the other Eastlands. Still, like I said, I ordered two more pair, this time one in black as well. I’m wearing my old pair as I type this, and will wear them every day while keeping my new pairs put up for events that require me to look more cleaned up. I also order the Maeko boot, and it seems fine, maybe just a tad snugger than I prefer, but these shoes have that good soft leather that will conform with a little wear, so I will give them a longer trial before I comment fully. hard not to reach for these Amore every morning though because they are “just right”.

New to Eastland, and see mixed reviews on some of their shoes. Got these as an option that covers more than a loafer and I can still wear without socks in colder weather – as is my wish. Quite comfortable, well made, perfect fit for my 9.5 medium foot. Wearing well that I can see and I wear them often, footbed is cushy but firm, arch is not substantial, but lift with heel balances the foot well.

Bought this shoe for work – wore them all day shopping the first day – did not bother me and I have arthritis in both feet – usually both my feet are aching by the end of the day – did not happen in these – only point I noticed after all day wear was a tight point in the right small toe after about 7 hours. Second day of wear I did not notice this at all. I have to say I am used to wearing cowboy boots all the time, so this is a style I am used to, and my foot is generally considered slightly narrow, so take that into consideration. I really liked how high the instep came up onto my foot, they feel like boots to me, but you may not like this, and many people may find this uncomfortable, especially if they have a high arch or instep. I would definitely buy this shoe again when they wear out, but they seem very tough – I had a teenager step all over me with his cowboy boots when wearing these and did not get hurt nor did the shoes show any marks whatsoever – was surprised and grateful for that! From the side they are not as graceful looking as a cowboy boot or as narrow and feminine looking as the picture shows, but if you are unable to wear your boots to work and are looking for an acceptable substitute, this a good buy.
