Customer Reviews Sofft Avant

I love these shoes. Stylish and so comfortable

Lovely shoe...the toe 'cut' is nice and low on the foot; resulting in a more dressy appearance, not utilitarian at all! Am trying to get the animal print option now. I had ordered a wide size and next time will go with a medium width as it's just a little too roomy.

These shoes are beautiful. A perfect dark red that I can wear in a professional office, but still have a little spice. They are a little tight around the ball of my foot, but I'm hoping they stretch. Very comfortable. They were exactly what I was looking for.

I just got these shoes in the mail and cannot say enough good things about them. They are the quintessential black pump. I am on my feet all day but refuse to wear flats...these shoes are a must! Not only are they the cutest black pump ever but they are incredibly comfortable. I am usually right between sizes and went with the bigger size which seems to be the perfect decision. I am searching for this same style in brown so that I can have a color to wear with every outfit.

This is the perfect work shoe! Nothing fancy...very comfortable, wider heel, just pointy enough. Love them...perfect for being on my feet all day.

I wear these shoes to work all the time - they go with my business casual attire, suits, work dresses, etc. Very comfortable and easy to walk in - though they do stretch eventually; I added some insoles and they fit well again.

It is a very nice looking shoe! The only problem for me is I can't walk in a 3 inch heel because it bothers my knees and I feel unsteady. If it came in a 2 1/2 inch or 2 3/4 inch heel, I would buy every color available. I am very disappointed that I have to send it back.

I bought these heels because I knew they would be cute and comfortable. And I was right! I love the slightly pointed shape of the toe. I was never a fan of the extreme pointed toe but these give it enough edge where you can wear them at work or out on the town!

What can I say? This shoe is beautiful, classic, comfortable, and offered at an amazing price point. The heel is thicker and the sole is non skid, which makes walking on hard surfaces a breeze (even for those not used to wearing heels). This shoe will definitely be a staple in your wardrobe. A must have!

Great, comfortable shoe. The dark navy was exactly the color I needed. Still looking nice after walking through snow and slush.

Nice Shoe - I was looking for a wider width shoe with some style when I bought this shoe. Although it's not as wide as I expected, the shoes are comfortable and have great arch support.

Very Comfortable - This is a very comfortable shoe. I wish that "Sofft" made more stylish shoes that can be worn in the office. I wear these on casual Fridays with my khaki pants. If "Sofft" made a dressier shoe with the same comfort design as this shoe, they'd make a lot of money! I have a pair of Sofft sandals that are also comfortable, but they are too casual for work.

The toe area is a little tight, so they're not quite as comfortable as my other Sofft pumps but overall are better than most other brands. The leather is beautiful.

For a pump, this shoe is comfortable and looks good. I don't wear pumps much, and I'm glad to have this one in my wardrobe. If I wore heels much, this would probably be comfortable. Best one I've found so far for my tired flat, narrow feet.

They look great, the leather is soft and giving and as always with Sofft heels, they are as comfortable as heels can get. Have only worn them around the house, but I like them very much. These are some sexy shoes!

I don't really go for the pointed toe look due to my size 9.5-10. I saw these at a store at an incredible low price and tried them on for fun. I tried the teak in a 9.5 and the bronze in a 10 and really, both sizes did fit well. I was surprised how well I liked the look and feel of this shoe. In the end, I decided the bronze color would go better with more of my outfits, so I ended up with the size 10. I have worn them a couple of times since for hours at a time. They still do need some breaking in, but I found them very comfortable. I do agree that there might be a heel slipping problem, but if you get the size right, there shouldn't be. Also, I never wear socks or tights with these, just my feet… so that takes care of any slipping problem that might occur. I don't like this look with dresses or skirts, but love them with any pants or jeans.

Not as happy as I'd hoped to be - Avant in Teak - Great color, cute shoe. I have wide flat feet. Followed suggestions of others and ordered half a size up. Length was fine; width at toe was fine... walk right out of the heel though. The location of the heel below the foot gives it a "unique"-feeling balance. Not sure if I like it or not. If I hadn't already worn these, I'd be returning them. I will not be purchasing any Sofft shoes with similar footbeds. (This is the second pair with this type of footbed I tried, same problem with the others.) The ARE cute shoes, so if you want to try them... just try them out around the house a LOT in the hosiery you'd be wearing with them. (With walking out of the heel as much as they do, they tend to "pull down" socks.) As for Zappos, a billion stars for them - they're awesome.

Love the Shoe - This is fabulous versatile shoe! You can dress it up or down. And the comfort, as with all Sofft shoes, is superb. The fact that I got them the very next day was great. I am slowly replacing every pair of shoes I own with a Sofft pair. The only thing is, as I had read in previous reviews, you do have to order up a 1/2 size in order to get the toe length. But I have found that to be true of other Sofft shoes.

Beautiful, but narrow - O.K., I've tried several sandals, shoes and boots by Sofft now and all of them appear half-size smaller than stated. It is true of these shoes also. Despite being beautiful (the top insert is prettier than on photo), this model is also too narrow. I got them a size larger than I usually wear and in Wide (I typically wear Wide), but they still are too tight in the front. The leather is soft, though, and might break in after a while... If your feet are not wide, you'll probably be happy with these shoes (unless you have narrow heels), as they feel comfortable elsewhere (just don't forget to order these half-size larger).

These are SO comfortable. Definitely, a cross between a stylish and comfort shoe. I would not wear them with dresses, but definitely with pants.

Narrow in the toes - Love the shoes. I have two pairs. They are a little narrow in the toes but other than that a great pair of shoes. You might try a half size larger or the next width up. But that may make you walk out of them. So I am not sure. Could not get any advice from Zappos.

Too bad - Very cute shoes, but I sent them back. I should have paid attention to the reviewer who said that the toe is narrow and the heel wide, because I had the same problem. Other than that they were comfortable, but I didn't think I couldn't wear them all day long comfortably.

Avant review - I ordered this when my local store couldn't order it. Tried on other Sofft shoes to check on size, this seems a bit smaller than the style I tried on. The look is great for pants, the heel is comfortable for walking and standing all day, and the style makes my large (size 9 1/2) feet seem more petite.

Comfortable but definitely run small - I ordered a half size larger after reading the reviews and I'm glad I did. However, after breaking them in a bit they started to slip off the back of my heel. I'm going to have to get a pad for them to stop the slip. Overall, they are a very comfortable shoe but the sizing is a little tricky.

Did not work for me - I really like the unusual looks of this shoe, and the toe and footbed were very comfortable. I ordered an 8 wide but the heel kept slipping off. I think the 7.5 will be too narrow in the toe, so unfortunately, I am returning this shoe.
