I bought these because they were "orthotic friendly". The flatbed came out and the shoes fit my orthotics well. They are very comfy and nice looking.

Not enough arch support, and because the insole is made of memory foam, my foot feels like it's on fire by the end of the day. I ended up tearing out the insoles, inserting gel insoles and my orthotics, and now they're not bad. I'm not disappointed I bought them.

Overall these shoes are very comfortable due to the egg crate type of insole. But the arch support is not as substantial as I expected based on other reviews.

Despite ordering the EE width, this cute shoe doesn't fit my foot. The footbed seems very comfortable, so I wish I didn't have to return it.

I usually have to wear ugly shoes to work, being on my feet. I can wear these all day and still be comfortable.

These are comfy and stylish but the toe box is very rigid. That combined with being a full size smaller than marked meant they didn't work for me. Too bad though, they're a less tall version of the Dansko style and I'd hoped they would work.

I am a flight attendant, and need a pair of shoes to wear while working inside the plane. On my feet a lot, and air pressure makes you swell also. I would order half a size up, but other then that they are great!

It's a lovely pair of shoes, but the right one is slightly smaller. I thought it would be perfect to wear for work, since I just had a knee replacement. Even though I enjoy ordering from Zappos, this pair was not for me.

The first time I put them on, I felt like I was walking on a cloud. So comfortable. They felt a little snug by my toes, but I thought they would give a little after wearing them. The next day they hurt a little, but at the same time comfortable. They did give a little & now they are my favorite shoe to wear & are very comfortable all the time.

I bought these for my grandmother who has a difficult time finding a wide shoe. These were wide enough and very comfortable due to the amount of padding. I would recommend.

At first i found the top of the shoe to be too tight and the heel to be too loose, but after wearing for a few days, they have molded quite well to my feet. I wear them at work, where i am on my feet for 5-6 hours straight, and they are very comfortable. My feet do not ache as much as they did with my last work shoes. I highly recommend. They are not, however, very fashionable, but I guess you cannot have everything!

I had the SoftWalk Jupiter for years and loved how comfortable it was; I decided to try a new style. The eggcrate sole is fantastic and cushiony, like walking on a cloud. Style looks great as well; I can wear them with jeans or even with tights & a skirt. However, I found this shoe to fit very tight across the top of my foot, to the point that it leaves painful red marks on my skin even when wearing thin socks or hose. I am really hoping it will stretch out over time, as the rest of the shoe is incredibly comfortable. I have problems with my knees and back and have to be careful to wear comfortable supportive shoes, and these would be perfect if they loosen up a bit over the top.

I stand and walk for at least half of my work shift. These shoes are ideal. These shoes are light and the padding is extra comfy. They seem to run a little big so I have to wear a thicker sock with them. If you want to wear them without socks as a casual shoe, order a half size smaller.

Super cushy but a bit too tight across the instep -
I have a wide foot due to bunions but not a wide heel so it's hard to find a shoe fits across the instep but doesn't slip in the heel. These are pretty good, although a little tight across the instep at the end of a long day. The cushioned insole is really comfy. Although I was thrilled to find a blue shoe, the color is more cadet than true navy.

I am particularly hard to fit -
I wish it were easier to put on- if only it had a small zipper. Once I get it on, it is comfortable because of the padding. But after wearing it for many hours, I do feel my toe and there is slight pain. This need not apply to others.

It depends on their comfort level; I'd recommend Zappos for their service and caring.

Good Constructed Shoe!
This shoe is comfortable as far as walking. The top cuts into the top of your foot until you get them broke in. Other than that they feel good on your foot. I haven't worn them but a few times as it is going to take awhile for them to stretch out some.

I almost adore the Adora -
This shoe is very comfortable, and very soft, almost too soft--I would like a bit more support--but I can wear it all day and not notice I have shoes on. It looks like a Minnie Mouse shoe, but that's fine. I was obviously going for comfort here rather than style. The quality of the shoe is very good.

For me, these are soft comfy house shoes. They do not have the shape and structure of sole and insole to support walking or being on my feet for any length of time. They are very high quality shoes with soft but long lasting leather. Sometimes they slip up and down on my heel which bunches down my socks, but when I go down a size the height of the shoe at the back of my ankle rubs painfully.

Great on the bottom, torture on the top -
I was so prepared to love these shoes. I wear a 3A and was very pleased that they came that narrow. As many reviewers have said that they run 1/2 size small, I ordered one pair in 9 1/2 and one pair in 10, figuring to return the pair that didn't work. The first 5 minutes with the size 10s were just great, and then to my dismay I began feeling extreme pressure where the top (is that called the throat?) of the shoe met my foot. When I took the shoes off, there was a nasty red mark across the top of each foot. Sadly, both pairs are going back today. BUT, kudos to Zappos for being the kind of online store to make shopping for shoes so very easy.

No break in time required.
I bought these for a trip to Europe (you know, all those cobblestone streets?) and was amazed at the comfort, especially considering they were brand new. I have a narrow foot, so the heels slipped, though no friction or blisters. The forefoot fits tighter, due to the moguls. Quite satisfied overall -- shoe looks good, too.

SoftWalk Adora -
Amazing comfort for my wide, problem feet. They may look a little clunky --when I told my husband I could walk all day in them, he responded "Not with me." -- But I've decided to wear them with "attitude."

Adora -
Very comfortable shoe, but heel was too wide, no matter what width or size I chose. Unfortunately had to return the shoes, as the heel keep slipping off my foot. (I consider my foot width to be "normal".) Nice looking shoe, though, and I hated having to return them.

Comfort & Good Looks with one Achilles Heel -
My love my Adora's, and am slowly wearing them out. They work well for walking long distances and they look stylish enough to wear to work. To my disappointment, the first part of the shoe to break down as the little seam on top of the show at the back. Of course this is a part of the shoe which gets a lot of wear and tear with putting the shoes on. However, I have never had this problem with other shoes I have worn over the years.

A little bit of unwelcome change in fit -
I've been wearing nothing but SoftWalk shoes since I discovered them 3 years ago. This is my 3rd pair of the Adora style. I found this 11.5 N to be a little bit wider with more room between the top of my foot and the shoe. I can't say it was a half size wider than marked, but it was wider than in the past and I have to wear socks. Recently I also ordered 11.5 N in another SoftWalk style and it did not have these unwelcomed changes. Usually 11.5N fits me perfectly - it was a miracle! And still is in some styles, just not this one.
