Beautiful shoe! Comfy on the feet except the leather binding on the suede shoe cuts into the top of my feet. I\'ve worn these four times for more than eight hours each time and I\'ve finally gotten them to where the blisters no longer appear. If you don\'t mind a little torture these are great.

I am extremely happy with the Sofft Candra shoe! I was looking for a more stylish work shoe with a bit of a heel so I could wear my work pants without the hems dragging on the ground (like they did with my clogs). However, I had tried other dress shoes before and always went back to my clogs because everything else hurt my feet, including flats. This is the first shoe (other than my comfy but not very cute clogs) that has not hurt my feet! They have a heel, but it truly does not feel like they do. And they look great with all my pants! No more pant legs dragging on the ground. Note, I did go up a half size, based upon all the reviews I had read saying that the toe box was a bit small. I am very happy I did. My toes do not feel crowded at all ( and I am picky about that!). Also, with wearing them a few times, the leather softens up a bit, making them even more comfortable. I've also already gotten several compliments on them! This is my first pair of Sofft shoes and I will definitely be a returning customer!

Candra - a pretty and comfortable shoe that comes in great colors. I bought the gray, camel, and black suede. I was surprised, however, that a shoe with a name like "Sofft" ran so narrow. I ended up with a 7 1/2 wide, and they were still snug when new-had the left one stretched, in fact. (My normal size is 7 1/2-8 or 7 1/2 C or D). This season seems to have lots of flat or 3"+ heels-Candra is a great option for those times you want some heel height, but can't teeter around on stilts all day!

These are great shoes. I wore them at a wine volunteering event (new shoes when I was going to be on my feet all day? Sheer vanity) and carried two band-aids for the fallout I expected. But they didn't bite me and proved very comfortable. Yes, I was a bit bruised by EOD but I would have been in any shoes. These were new! I like how they look and I really like how they feel. This was a good buy. (I'm giving it 4 stars because I am saving the 5 for something REALLY amazing. But no regrets about this purchase).

I have feet that are subject to blistering when put in the wrong shoes, but I have to say, Sofft shoes are wonderful! The foot base has a little padding in it, so your foot is cushioned. The upper suede comes in several colors. It has trim outlining the upper giving it a little vintage look. Not only is it a comfortable shoe for a heel, it’s got style, too!

Sofft Candra, Charcoal/Pewter - These shoes are stylish and comfortable, but not easy to put on or take off. The fit is true to Sofft brand sizing and the heel is the perfect height.

As with all Sofft shoes that I own, these are true to size and very comfortable. I ordered them in pewter/charcoal and they look very elegant on your feet. I only wore them once; nevertheless I am very pleased to report that, as expected, they were a pleasure to wear.

Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
Cute, but tight - I get a lot of compliments on the look of this shoe, it's very cute. However, the shoe seems to run a bit small in the toe area. I purchased an 8.5 wide, my normal shoe size. Now, knowing the fit of the shoe, I would purchase a 9 wide.

Soft, sexy, and comfortable - This shoe has it all. I don't usually wear any kind of heel, but when I tried this on; it didn't feel like any heel I've ever worn. It's a classy shoe that goes with everything from my DKNY dark jeans to a dress. I love the bed of the shoe and its forward footbed massage bumps. (I'm sure there's a word those those, but don't know it.) I tried the chocolate brown, the deep purple and bought the black as it went with everything, but if I had the money, I'd buy all three. Fits like a glove as they say. True to size all around.

I love this shoe! I have a bit of a bunion on one foot so I ordered the 8W...perfect fit, doesn't look like a wide shoe either. The heel is not as high as it looks in the picture, which is a relief, as it's just right, not too high to wear running around the stage in my theatrical production! I was pulling my calf muscles in flats, tried Capezio's which HURT, sent those back and got these. Perfect! They look like a theatrical character shoe, but I will wear them in real life too, instead of putting them away. I may have to get another color soon! I recommend them and they are a very good fit. A tiny bit on the larger side, not tight or short at all. That leaves room for an arch support, if you have flat feet like me! Love this shoe!

Nice, good looking shoe. Starts out comfortable, but by the end of the day, toes feel too packed and all you want to do is take them off. Sometimes heels make you feel like you teetering or just barely balanced. These aren't like that. If the toe box was slightly wider, these would be my favorite pair of shoes.

So comfortable - I have metatarsalgia (pain the in the ball of the foot) in both feet and have a difficult time wearing any type of heel. I've found that Sofft have excellent shoes for my type of problem. They provide excellent arch support and have a great cushion in the sole for comfort so my feet don't hurt as much. I also like that the toe box is a little wider so my toes don't squish together. I wear a 6 1/2 and this shoe felt true to size.

They really are comfortable - I wanted a good looking basic work shoe that would look like I put a lot of effort into my appearance, but would feel like I didn't. This is very comfortable; it is my go-to shoe.

Great shoe for work - I am on my feet a lot, and this shoe is excellent for all-day wear. The heel is just high enough to look good, but still be comfortable.

Comfortable, funky heel - I don't normally wear heels to work but needed a dress shoe for the rare occasions I wear a dress or suit - but I was bored with basic pumps. This shoe was comfortable for a full day right out of the box, including subways/trains/sidewalks, and added a different style touch. Not quite the same as wearing my Uggs all day, but for a heel quite comfortable and I like the look with a dress.

Nice looking - This is a nice looking shoe that has good arch support and is fairly comfortable. I like the solid heel (not too thin) but it is too high for me. I think I need a one inch heel instead of two.

These shoes are fairly comfortable and I love the styling. My only complaint is that the button snapped off one of them after only wearing them a few times. I had it repaired, only to have the button on the other shoe snap off less than a week later! I would buy this brand again but I don't think I would buy any with the button snaps.

Sofft's Candra - These shoes are beautiful but killed my feet. There wasn't enough room in the toe box, and after an hour my feet hurt so much. I have a friend who wears the same size but whose foot isn't quite as wide, so I will give them to her. I usually don't have this problem with Sofft, but I think the way this shoe is constructed is different from the others I own. The service from Zappos was exceptional. I ordered them at like 11PM and they arrived by 6PM the next day.

These are comfortable and stylish. I orginally ordered 39 W since I already own Sofft Calypso in this size, but exchanged them for 38.5 W (both US 8W). In this shoe the slightly smaller size fit better. I have wide flat feet, and due to pain can only wear heels on special occasions. I normally wear Josef Seibel for work, and Clarks or athletic shoes for daily use. Zappos is a wonderful company, allowing for easy and free exchange for the proper size. Super fast shipping.

Candra - Amazingly comfortable for such a high heel. I can wear them all day with no problems. The purple is so dark it was hard to tell that they weren't black.
