Black and Pink Etnies Fader - These are now my favorite shoes. They are really cool, and they come with both pink laces and black laces. They are comfortable too.

Spectacular - Cool, awesome shoe, I wear them everywhere, they match everything I wear. They’re even good P.E. shoes.

Shoes for my daughter - She really liked these shoes, but the eyelets were metal and didn't hold her laces the way she wanted.

Black/Pink etnies Fader W - These are my new favorite shoes. They did feel a bit snug at first, but felt awesome after breaking them in. I wear theses shoes all the time now because they look and feel great :)

Love them - I love Etnies and wear them all the time. I have the pink and black ones (with the skull print) and I pretty much get a compliment every day. Very satisfied.

These shoes are so comfortable! I never wore skater shoes before, and now I just love them to work in!

I bought these for my 12 year old daughter and she loved them from the moment she put them on. So comfortable and hip. We ordered an 8 because 7.5 was not available, but they fit perfectly. Order 1\/2 size up.

I didn't realize how uncomfortable these were until I walked to the store. Unfortunately I can't return them because they are worn but they are the most uncomfortable shoes that I have ever owned. They rub and put a lot of pressure on the top of my foot no matter how I tie the laces. They are cute but I suggest you keep looking and don't buy these!

I've had a pair of Etnies for over 3 years now. I wear them almost everyday. I cannot believe how long they have lasted! Great brand!

My boyfriend had the nerve to buy these for me just because he thought I could use the comfort. But they grew on me and now I can't live without these shoes! The footbed is so comfortable. I could walk all day in these.

"Walking on Clouds" This shoe fits it's name, "Adora". With each step your feet will Adore walking while wearing these finely made shoes. Lined with soft puffy pillows of cushion, these make your walk pure Heaven. Once you put them on, you'll forget your wearing shoes. You'll feel as if you are "Walking on Clouds".

Pillow-Soft to Walk on This shoe is great. I ordered Brown and when I tried it on I ordered Navy as well. The shoe is true to size for me and very comfortable. No breaking in was required. I received many compliments when I wore them to work.

Softwalk Shoes. I bought Adora in Navy 6 months ago because the waffle ("mogul") insole looked cushy. I have chronic planter fascitis; I have been looking for a shoe that I could half-way tolerate. I'm here to buy more Softwalk styles in more colors. I don't want to wear anything else!

Adorable Adora. I love this shoe. It seems to run a little wide, I could have worn a narrower width than usual, and had to have the instep stretch because I have a high instep. I love the toe room and of course, the cushioned insole. I have a progressive nerve disease and could not keep shoes on my feet for any length of time. Then I found Softwalks. My life has been so much better since; I can shop, do all my activities around the house and even walk, which I have to do to combat the CMT I have. I love Softwalk Adoras and will soon order another pair (which will be my sixth Softwalk shoe).

Comfort all the way! I'm on my feet nine hours a day. The Adora shoes saved my feet as well as my sanity. They're extremely comfortable. If you work on your feet for long periods of time these are the shoes for you. A great investment!

Higher expectations based on reviews I read... I was expecting supreme comfort after reading all the reviews. Instead, the shoes are too big in places, too tight at the toes (because of the all the way to the front thick cushion), and, when I wear trouser socks, the cushion grabs the socks causing them to bunch up under my feet, and that hurts! I was hoping they'd be terrific, but they simply aren't working for me.

Love this shoe! I bought the Adora as my first pair of Softwalk shoes. The comfort is unbelievable! I was so satisfied and glad I bought these shoes that I right away went to Zappos and ordered another pair, The Vail. And to my greatest surprise...they were on sale! I've tried most of the comfort shoes I've seen at the malls and so far these are the best. I love this brand and I’ve been recommending them to everyone I know!

Great shoes. The best shoes I have ever had. I have always been fashion conscious, but the trendy shoes are really not that comfortable. I wear these all day and do a lot of walking and standing at my job. At the end of the day, my feet don't hurt! They're fabulous!

I have very wide feet, and it is very hard to find comfortable shoes. These are the first pair I have had since my pregnancy that I don't want to take off!! They feel absolutely fabulous, and look like the dansko (which I love) I am a convert!
