Great Maryjanes -
These are very comfortable & cute Maryjane shoes.
The inside bottom is oh so comfortable. The only spot where they are not so comfy is the rim around the top front. Hopefully they will give a bit after being worn awhile. They are true to size and width.

SoftWalk Jupiter comfort all the way!!
I have small, wide feet with a narrow heel and pain in my toes and heel, and
SoftWalk Jupiter has facilitated me to be able to again work my 12 hours a day! The soft leather, wide toe box, and egg-carton
insoles have saved my feet and my job. I wear these with a suit and although I thought they were a bit "granny", my younger co-workers think I am 'funky' for wearing this style of shoe. Who knew comfort was now funky?
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: Trotters, not quite as comfortable but can be worn for the shorter time needed for
dress up affairs.

An almost perfect product - a blend of comfort and style -
This shoe is really comfortable and would be perfect for most normal wearers. For someone like me who has swollen feet, there is one problem - the top part covering the toe area - the CURVED EDGE - is digging into my flesh since the top of my foot is swollen. IF THE LEATHER WAS A LITTLE SOFTER, IT WOULD GIVE A LTTLE AND NOT DIG INTO THE FLESH.
So, my hope is the manufacturer will make some modifications to this shoe and increase sales to an increasingly large pool of baby boomers suffering from health problems, like edma, and looking for comfortable, wide, supportive but reasonably fashionable shoes.

This is a nice looking

sole.

SoftWalk -
I love them! They are soft and comfortable and yet have all the support I need. I had foot surgery this year and it's one of only two shoes that I found would work for me. Both of them are SoftWalks. I highly recommend them for style, comfort and support.

Heaven sent!!!!
I have a hard time finding shoes that are comfortable because of wide feet, arch problems and an old injury. I am thrilled to be able to be on my feet for over 12 hours in these shoes and my feet ARE NOT screaming at me! I heartily recommend them.

Happy with Soft Walk Juniper -
This shoe works very well with my orthotic that I wear in my left shoe only. Having removed the inner
sole, the shoe is roomy, yet comfortable, and I find no unevenness in my gait because the thick inner
sole in the right shoe compensates perfectly. My only slight dissatisfaction is with the buckle which takes me longer than most to fasten due to my arthritic knees and feet, but all in all I love the shoe and will buy another pair. I especially appreciate the rounded and high toe box. It is such a relief to have shoes that fit comfortably and look good too! At first I felt like a big 6 yr. old in my
Mary Janes, but comfort won out and my friends have admired them as well. Thanks!

Awkward fit -
I love the look of the shoe but somehow it just doesn't fit right. It rubs on the outside of the left foot and made a sore. The lumpy insole is kind of hard to get used to. This is my second attempt with the shoe the 5 was too small. I exchanged for the 5 1/2. Now the toe box fits better but it's rubbing on the side and the heel...going to try to keep breaking it in...but if I still had the box I'd probably return it and try something else. Hoping to make it work.

Very comfortable -
In the hospital where I work, we were recently switched from scrubs with
sneakers to a very polished professional suit. I needed comfortable shoes to match considering I am 6 months pregnant and loved my
sneakers. Although most of my co-workers think they look like granny shoes, I know I am far more comfortable than they are. The egg crate lining is wonderful and the shoes are very light weight. PS I LOVE ZAPPOS - great service and products.

Almost Professional-
With the foot problems associated with aging, it is difficult to find shoes that meet my comfort criteria, but look good enough to wear to the office. The Jupiter does both. I don't really think they are attractive, certainly not as attractive as many shoes on the market. However, they are comfortable. I've also been surprised to receive compliments on them, primarily from others of my age (50) who are also looking for comfortable, dressier shoes. No matter how much trotting I need to do around the office (cement floors), how far I walk to lunch and back (pavement, cement, etc), or how many errands I run after my workday (even grocery-getting or the mall), my feet are still bouncing back healthy and happy on the egg-crate cushioning. Kudos for the Jupiter. I now own the shoe in black Nubuck, dark brown and navy. One caution, though. Be careful not to pull the strap too snugly if you have circulation issues. I have accidentally done so a time or two and not even noticed it until I stood up after a long stint at the computer. Then it's plain for me (and everyone else) to see that I should have buckled up in the next hole on the strap. I have a narrow heel, yet this shoe works well for me.

Man from the Midwest-
They are comfortable and fit very well. I especially like the way they gently hug my feet.
No break in is needed, they are ready to wear all day.

Wonderful!
In one word, WONDERFUL! I have flat feet and even with custom orthotics, I have to wear a wide size 2E with lots of toe room. For those with these types of challenges, you know there are very little choices and virtually no good looking shoes, but these are the exception. The padding was very nice, but had to be removed to make room for my orthotics, but for those with normal feet I bet they would be comfy. Also, I do not believe in ever having to “break-in” shoes and from the first time I put them on (with colored
socks and
pants) they looked good and felt perfect. But, the real test was on the first day I wore them out, walking eight blocks in Philly, I felt no pain, no rubbing, and no slipping. I also was on my feet almost constantly for another day and even on hard surfaces remained comfortable. Instead of feeling envy as I usually do for others in their pointy toed
high-heels, I felt sorry for them! As soon as I returned from my trip I bought every color available in my size for my very happy and finally rather fashionable feet!
My “real” size 7.5 and I didn’t need a 2E, WW works great.

Not a good fit-
These shoes are beautiful to look at, but fit terrible. The shoe is not true to size. I wear a 10 1/2 N. There just simply was no room for my toes.

SoftWalk's Jupiter -
These shoes were bought for my 11yo daughter and she wore them for hours when we went to Italy for two weeks. She loves them and they are her favorite shoes.
