Customer Reviews Gentle Souls by Kenneth Cole Bay Braid

Held my breath, afraid these wonderful shoes might not accommodate my wide foot, but they did! Wore them the rest of the day in perfect comfort. Now ordering another style-maybe two!

I love these shoes. They are so comfortable and make both skirts and skinny jeans look dressed up and stylish.

Really fun shoe and very comfortable except for the fact that it is really flat and my back objects to a too flat shoe. Otherwise it is really attractive.

Love the fit. They are both soft and supportive. The elastic heart straps keep them comfortableably in place.

I wear these shoes to work, with slacks and they are very cute and go with any color. They are super comfortable with decent arch support. This is a pair of shoes that I know I will wear until they fall apart.

So comfortable! I have very difficult feet to fit. These flats slipped right on, and I wore them for several hours in a great deal of comfort. They were so easy to wear.

Whatever I buy online, I try to buy from Zappos. Free shipping, easy return and the very nicest people to deal with.

I bought mine at a resale shop, decided to research/shop the brand since they are so amazingly comfortable and versatile only to discover (shock!!!) the real-life price tag. I love these shoes, I wish that I lived at that level of disposable income... That said, if you are rolling, these are amazing!

Love these shoes! This is my second pair of the Gentle Souls Bay Braid. I wear them everywhere with or without stockings/thin socks. So comfortable.

I bought these for a two week trip to Europe. I wanted something comfortable for long walks but dressy enough for a nice restaurant. I just got back from my trip and the shoes were wonderful. No blisters! A woman on the plane asked me what brand they were and where did I get them. She was going to order them, too.

They were not originally as comfortable as I had hoped but after a couple days of wear they were extremely soft. Bought them for a trip to Europe that involved a lot of walking and standing and they were perfect. Very lightweight.

I have these in antique pewter and absolutely love the style. They can be dressed up or down. The foot beds feel like heaven, although I don't think I would wear these for a LOT of walking. They do work well for standing on my feet all day at work, though. These run big because I'm almost always a 9, but I had to exchange my 9s for 8 1/2 which fit perfectly. I've been looking for a comfy, grown-up, lux ballet flat and have finally found it in these shoes!

I bought a pair of these shoes several years ago in a local store. They are the most comfortable I've ever owned and wished I could find them to have a second pair. Someone suggested I look at Zappos. I was happy to see them on your website and happy to receive them promptly after ordering them. They feel like walking on clouds but are not clunky ; they are my go-to dress shoes (I no longer wear heels).

These shoes are so comfortable right out of the box. Plenty of toe room! I wore them barefoot in warmer weather; now that it is cooler outside I am wearing them with thin socks or tights. Either way I have received many compliments on them!

This is the third pair of Taryn Rose for me! I love these shoes! Well worth the price! I tell people about Zappos all the time!

Love these ballet flats. I have been trying on flats for a few months and none of them fit correctly, even Bjorn. I was about to give up on flats when I tried on the Gentle Souls. They felt good immediately and were true to size. Maybe it's the ribbons braid that keeps my feet in? These ballet flats are wonderful and so attractive! I am very pleased.

These shoes are great! Very comfortable. Soft and flexible, wide enough to not cramp toe area but not so wide they slip off heal. Elastic is soft and not binding but sufficient to keep shoe firmly on. COLOR is perfecto, not too shinny, neutral great with all colors.

This is my third pair of these shoes - please don't ever stop making them! They are cute and extremely comfortable. I've walked the cities of Europe and the U.S. in these shoes.

Lovely shoes, quality shows with deerskin lining. I ordered three styles of Gentle Souls and the pairs with rounded toes were a little too short for me, I usually wear size nine. Part of the fitting issue is I have bunions and it throws my big toe out of position. Will try size 9 1/2 in the future.

My very favorite summer shoe! I ordered this last year in bronze...wore them out. :) And purchased 2 pairs for this summer. Perfect fit and great comfort. Love the lining that does not let your foot sweat...really not sweaty feet!

Cute shoes! I would have kept them for a wedding I am attending except my friends thought the style was too much like several others I have.

I am a Gentle Soles shoe lover. The soft as butter leather is combined slight sole padding and arch support. I love straps on top, as I do not have to worry about the jetliner slipping, or rubbing. I highly recommend these shoes.

These are THE MOST COMFORTABLE shoes ever! I just love them. The criss-cross elastic/design is sexy on a flat comfortable shoe! Thinking of getting a second pair to just have!

Just received two pair of these for trip. Oh my! They fit my wide foot right out of the box. Leather is soft and accommodates my bumpy feet! What a great find! They are beautifully made. Colors are amazing. I plan on ordering more. Finally found a shoe that works for me! And that is NO SMALL FEET!
