I have a very hard time finding shoes to fit my very wide feet~with a left foot that swells terribly from a bad past knee surgery. These shoes are very soft leather that give to accomodate swollen feet and the back strap is adjustable, so that also helps when you need more room. The inner sole is very soft and oh-so-cushiony when you are walking. I usually cannot tolerate shoes very long at one time, but these I can walk in for hours and they still have no issues with my feet. The toe box is also very roomy (yes, have toe problems too), so are very comfortable all around. I highly recommend for both normal and problem feet; very very comfortable and quite stylish as well.

Love these shoes. So soft to walk in...have a little trouble with the back strap, but I think it is my feet. Just need to put another hole in the strap.

My 13 year old daughter wears these ballet flats to school. They are very comfortable and have the advantage over other flats of being tightened so that the backs do not slip off of her heels.

As always, Zappos' delivery of these shoes was fantastic. The shoes themselves are adorable. The flower on the front is just so cute and the shoes are oh so comfortable. Walking Cradles have the nicest comfy liners in every shoe. It is an excellent way of pampering overworked feet.

I have these shoes in 4 different colors now, along with the similar style with a closed back. Wonderfully comfortable from the outset. The leather is soft, no breaking in was needed. The footbed is like walking on clouds. If your feet get sore easily, these are the shoes for you. I've never seen this brand in a store so took a flyer on them through Zappos and wow, am I glad I did. I refuse to wear heels and was so glad to find dressy flats with support that aren't clunky looking.

I love these shoes! I have EE feet with two problem areas: bunions and arthritis in the top of one foot, and these shoes accommodate both problems and are wide enough. They feel wonderful. They are very cute, ageless, and can pinch hit for dressy or very casual. I wish they came in more colors and in a closed heel for winter.

These leather shoes are so very soft and comfortable. I have worn them a few times now and quite enjoy them. I need extra wide shoes and Zappos is a great place to find them.

Very attractive and comfortable shoe. It took no breaking in at all. The fit is good on my narrow foot. It looks good with pants or casual skirts. Zappos' service is remarkable: the shoes are always here the second day, free delivery!

Bell is the best shoe I have ever worn. They were comfortable right out of the box. I had foot surgery and have not been able to find a comfortable shoe. This shoe is exactly what I needed, it looks like a shoe but feels like a slipper. I ordered a pair for my sister who also has foot problems and she loved them so much she ordered a second pair. Thanks for a great product.

Cute and casual. The light gold "Sun Gold" color is a soft gold, pleasing to the eye, and not garish. The back strap is zig-zag stitched and is a bit scratchy on the back of my foot.

Cute little casual shoe that is surprisingly comfortable and cushy. The size I ordered (11 Wide) fit perfectly with no gaps at the sides, as many wide shoes often have. The strap in the back is stitched zig-zag all the way around and is a bit scratchy on the back of my heel and rubs a bit. Other than that, I’m pleased with this shoe. The Sun Gold color is wonderful - it’s a feminine, rich but light color that doesn’t look cheap like those awful bright gold slippers that your great-grandmother wore. The flower on top is a playful touch.

Too cute! This shoe in black patent is really cute and versatile. The sole is cushioned nicely. The fit is a little loose in the heel for me. I normally wear a Medium.

I have a very hard time finding shoes in my size (6.5 WW), much less shoes that are stylish. My mom told me that Zappos.com had great selections and excellent service. These little gold flats were my first Zappos purchase and I'm extremely happy with them. They are really cute and so comfortable. My feet never get hot in them, even when I'm not wearing stockings. Also, they are cushioned like sneakers and very comfortable to walk in. I wear them to work and this past weekend even wore them out to the family cabin. I was able to walk in the woods and on loose gravel roads in them. I have been wearing them a LOT for about 3 weeks now, and the leather has become crinkly. So far the gold finish hasn't flaked off, but I worry that it might, as wrinkled as the leather is. After hiking through the woods with them I can't really complain about that. I've been pretty hard on them.

These shoes were not wide enough for me. I usually wear an 8W or 8WW/EE and I had to get a 7.5 WW. My relatively thin heel was spilling over the side and the strap dug into my skin. Now the same shoe in the full back was just heavenly! Strange huh? What a wonderful company! And such comfy shoes! Wish these fit as well as the full back!

Heavenly Cradled! I love my Walking Cradles's Bell shoes -- they absolutely cradle my feet in heavenly comfort. I am disappointed that my second order couldn't be filled because my desired shoe size and color were not in stock. I'm hoping you get more of these great shoes in stock soon!

These shoes are wonderful. I was able to wear them all day teaching without discomfort. That is impressive for me because I do not have 'happy feet.'

Walking on clouds - This is not my typical shoe because I wear AFO braces with orthopedic shoes most of the time. I needed something prettier for a special occasion to wear without braces and only walk in them from the car near the front door to the event inside where I sit most of the time. However I was very excited that I could find this pair, I tried at least 40 different shoes on without luck, this one works perfect and are very cute. It fit on my XXE wide, deformed feet, didn't gape and the foot bed is very soft and cushioned and it made my feet look narrower while feeling like walking on a cloud. I just can't risk walking for any length of time in these shoes without braces and orthopedic shoes. It doesn't give the support needed and I may get more injuries. I am very happy I found them.

Bell of the ball - My patent leather Walking Cradle Bell can either dress up my outfit or can also be worn with more casual clothes. They are so comfortable; I hardly know I am wearing shoes. The EE width is just perfect and allows me to wear the correct sized shoe rather than going bigger to gain the width. Keep up the good work.

So Cute!!! Even though I can't wear them... These shoes in black patent are so cute; I tried them in 4 sizes (poor Zappos). They just aren't wide enough for me, even the WW. They really seem to run small. The soles are very cushiony, I can see how people say they can walk all day in them but in addition to wide feet, I have a high arch. But if these fit, they are just so cute and I think you could wear them with a variety of outfits, casual to more dressy.
