User Reviews
These shoes are wonderfully comfortable and fit as expected. One warning however---I bought the black pair as well as the beige. Do not get the black one wet. These shoes run like crazy if wet. Even dry, your toes will be black after a long day. However, the fact that they are supremely comfortable makes up for the dye rubbing off. I'm sure it's just the suede versions.It's so great they come in four different widths from narrow to wide. I just wear a medium, but I have so many friends who struggle because so many shoes are just "medium".They also have nice arch support--a rarity in ballet-type flats.Some have said these aren't "stylish". I think they are fine--I purchased them for travel and walking around doing street photography.They meet my needs perfectly. I bring more "stylish" shoes for evening.
I wrote that the fit was somewhat large, but I did order a 11c/d. I was anticipating that I would need this size instead of a 10 c/d because of other ballet flats I have bought. So, maybe I could have bought a slightly smaller size. I wore them for about 5 hrs, nice and cushion y, but did get a slight rubbing on my right ankle partway through the afternoon. Just one 1 foot. I liked them enough I thought might order another pair in another color 1/2 size smaller. After wearing them for the whole day, I had quite a irritation on my right ankle, so that I could not wear them again. I think maybe for me the back of the shoe is too high. So I will not be ordering any more and am looking for other shoes with lower sides. But I wore them for a day and unfortunately cannot return them.
These are very comfortable, stay on my feet and are just what I have been looking for! I bought 2 pairs! I had 2 weddings to go to last week and carried them to wear for the dancing after my feet tired of heels. I'm in my 60's and there's a limit to the number of hours I can keep the heels on. The gold color is dressy enough, I didn't feel awkward changing shoes (as it is, so many of the young people bring sneakers or flip flops to dance in) and my feel happily danced all night!
Just a weird fit.To tight around the band.Might just be me!...?They were very soft but the sole needed more padding.I could feel every seam.I even tried another insert I had but it just didn't work.Had to return.
Purple is my favorite color, and all my clothes are purple. I wanted some comfy everyday shoes, so I bought these, and they are exactly what I wanted.
The multi print with all the assorted colors is cute. They will look good with a lot of different outfits. The length was just right. Surprisingly comfortable sole for a flat. Nice and cushy with a tiny bit of arch support and it is flexible. A little tight across the toe vamp on me but a wider width would be too big everywhere else. I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 because the shoe is tight across the vamp. Not a deal breaker because these are leather and should stretch to fit comfortably after wearing but my experience is that SoftWalks are supposed to be comfortable right out of the box with no break in required.
The shoes are nice looking and fit well. I thought zi was ordering soft leather not suede leather. This limits the use of wearing the shoes. Anything suede is very hard to keep looking clean.
Very nice shoes. I have a very slim foot and these fit nicely without socks and innersoles. Nicely padded which make them comfortable for long days.
