Customer Reviews SoftWalk Adora

These are real comfortable, except they came up a little too high on the ankle on me -- rubbed the ankle bone a little. Love those Softwalk cushy innersoles.

If you're looking for a comfortable shoe, this is the one. The shoe is much lighter in overall weight than similar styles by other companies, like Dansko. The leather is supple and the footbed is lined with eggcrate foam. My only complaint is the shoe is tight over my instep, but that's the price of having high arches, I guess.

This shoe is both casual and dressy. I can't wear heels anymore due to a foot problem and the shiny leather works with all outfits.

These are comfortable shoes. I wear them with pants but they could also be worn with casual dresses. They are made from nice quality leather. The soles are made of material that feels a little like plastic but they seem to be wearing well so far.

This is a very comfortable shoe, however, it is pretty unattractive looking. I would love to find a very comfortable shoe that looks good also.

I have bunions and thought this looked like a shoe I could wear. Unfortunately even with the wide width they were extremely tight across the ball of my foot. The width was sufficient, but the vertical space was very short and they hurt my feet as soon as I put them on. It's too bad because the super-squishy foot bed seemed like it would be really nice, and it's a nice-looking shoe. I'd try them in a WW, but I think they'd be too wide, and still probably not deep enough in the front.

Shoe is not true to size. Runs very small. I wear 8.5 and could not get my foot into the shoe at all. When I held up my foot to bottom of shoe, my toes were past the shoe edge. Did not like these at all.

I was looking for a comfortable shoe to wear for walking in Italy. I liked the look of this shoe, it could easily be dressed up or down. It has a Dansko look without the tippy Dansko sole. I ordered my regular size 9. They were too small, so I ordered the next size up, 9.5, which arrived in perfect condition...also too small. The top of the shoe is so tight that when I took them off after a half-hour of wearing them while sitting on the couch with my feet up, I was left with an aching top of my foot and a huge red squeeze mark. I am giving up on this shoe only because it could take me forever to find the correct size. It is unfortunate, I really wanted to like them.

I am sad to say that this turned out to be a very uncomfortable pair of shoes. There is no arch support which created pain in my ankles. And the shoe is quite tight across the throat. I had hoped to wear them for walking, but can barely wear them for sitting. A disappointment because I have numerous pairs of Softwalk shoes which have all been comfortable.

Comfortable but OWW! They were comfortable but my delicate feet had a stress fracture after walking in the shoes for a few hours. I need a lot more arch support I am so disappointed. I bought them a size larger based on other reviews and I was glad I did. I wore them outside, so I can't return them.

Loved these shoes, just didnt like where the top of the shoe stopped on the foot. If they made a sofwalk shoe just like this that came up higher on the top of the foot I would own more than one pair. Unfortunately I sent these back because of the style. Absolutely fell in love with the comfort of the dhoe.

I am on my 3rd pair of these shoes and absolutely love them. They are so comfortable, and look nice enough to go with ever work outfit I own. I do a LOT of walking about and work and normal business flats or heals just wreck my feet. These shoes have saved them. Wearing them about 10-12 hours a day in an office environment, they will last about 12-18 months without showing significant wear. Definitely maintain the leather with a conditioner/protector as it isn't the toughest. I buy the shoe in a half size bigger and a step wider than normal. I normally wear a 9 Normal, and I get them in a 9.5 wide.

This is the 2nd time I've bought these shoes , but ...... This time they were miss marked . Could get a foot in them . Otherwise , they are good shoes .

So disappointed this shoe didn't fit. I wear an 8M and this shoe felt like a 7.5M. I like the shoe so will be exchanging it for an 8.5M.

These shoes are cute and well cushioned. Unfortunately, I have a high instep and the band across the front of the shoe was painful and unforgiving so I had to return them.

I wear a 12N and have never been able to wear Softwalk shoes because they either didn't come in narrow or the narrow really wasn't. Well, I've been very pleasantly surprised to find this style is narrow, stays on my foot (I always wear socks) and makes my foot actually look a lot smaller than it is! Plus, the shoes are so very comfortable as the insole is like a memory foam pillow. When I first put them on the right one was a bit tight, but since that foot is at least 1/2 size larger than the left, I sometimes find that but the shoe usually stretches out enough to be comfortable. Indeed these did as well. Now, a word of warning to those who have a high instep...these shoes likely won't fit you as they have a rolled edge at the front of the shoe throat that will likely not be comfortable. I have a very low instep and boney feet so this wasn't a problem. Since I wear socks, I did find the sueded insole grabs my sock as I put my foot in so I pull my sock away from my toes a bit and use a shoehorn. Not a big deal for me.

I love these shoes! There are very pretty and comfortable. The top section in the front of the shoe felt tight, but I took the shoes to a cobbler to have them stretched and they fit much better.

This is a beautiful show, but I couldn't get my foot into it due to my high instep, so I need to return it. I'm unable to judge if it is true to size, but I notice a number of other reviewers had to return the shoes for the same reason. If you have a more regular instep, this is a lovely shoe.

Beautiful shoe but too small. I have several pairs of SoftWalk shoes, all 6.5 W, but these are definitely shorter than the others. I am exchanging for a size 7.

Wide toe box with nice cushioning but I have a high arch and this shoe is way too tight over the top of my foot. Too bad, nice looks nice on and seems well made. Shoe runs very small. Normally wear a size 7, ordered a 7.5 as recommended and had to exchange for an 8. Still too tight on the top.

I have worn these shoes for 20 years. Ordered same shoe but this pair is too tight. Going to try a larger size.

Just received the Adora. Buy many shoes from Zappos. Bought a half size larger than I usually take but shoe was too short. The shoe was also very narrow, could hardly get it on. I will be returning them and avoid buying the brand Softwalk in the future. I think the company needs to be evaluate the quality control. Quality does not compare to shoes of comparable price. Overall 1 star (accidentally lit all stars for overall rating. And could not erase).

I tried these shoes in a store in an 8 which was too short, and a 9 which was too long. I thought the 8.5 would be just right and ordered a W and a WW.The WW was too short in the toe, yet the heel slipped . I didn't even try the W. I'm sorry as the shoes seem very good quality and I am trying to get a Softwalk shoe that fits, as I have painful feet. The eggcrate insoles were recommended to me.

Nice comfortable shoes, good width for toes, but the band across the top cut into my foot. Reminded me why I always wear Oxfords. Need that adjustability for high arch. Sigh.
