Customer Reviews Walking Cradles Boa

I have a narrow foot and find it very hard to find shoes that fit and are comfortable--these shoes are terrific! Enough heel to feel dressy, but not wobbly on an old lady! Love the look!

Love these shoes and would like to keep them. Cute, perfect fit, comfortable fit. But...I don't feel secure walking in them with the very narrow heel. It just does not feel stable for me and I'm afraid of twisting my ankle. Just what I was looking for style-wise and really hate to return them.

I ordered these for an upcoming wedding after reading most of the reviews....I hoped I could fit into an 8.5M, as most reviewers said they fit true to size and several said they ran a little large. I am generally a 8.5 but wear a 9.0 in tennis shoes and whole size only shoes. The 8.5 was short, and I was sure the 9.0 would be perfect. I'm now waiting for the 9.5M to arrive, just hours before I leave for the wedding! I've NEVER worn a 9.5 before, so was very surprised that there was no noticeable difference between the 8.5 and the 9.0 in length. The M width worked very well, no issues there. Love the style and the shoes felt fairly comfortable, just hoping the 9.5 is long enough!

This is such a pretty shoe in a classic way. Runs just a little bit short so if you are between sizes, go a 1/2 size up. Very comfortable for a dress shoe.

I'm really pleased with these shoes. They are very comfortable, and easy to walk in. I like the little sparkle on the flattering cross-straps, which makes them a good shoe for evening wear. The heel is just the right height for me....even though I'm 5'2", I've got arthritis in my knees...but this height works well.

Everything about this shoe is great - nice look, sensible heel. Be nice if it was leather. I ordered my usual 10 narrow. Which even then was too wide for me. Had to exchange for 10 SLIM which was perfect. This is my second pair because, as you would imagine, 10 N is not the easiest size to find.

These are a very nice comfortable shoe. The heel isn’t just too high.

absolutely perfect shoe for my foot. Looking for a lower, safe heel as my knees have started giving me grief. Making peace with giving up sexing higher heels. Great compromise here. The fit is perfect for my size 8, wider than average foot. A little sparkle on the straps a boost!

Loved the look of these shoes, but I have a very narrow foot - even the narrow size was too wide.

Wanted a shoe that I was able to wear to the office with both comfort and style. Kitten heel provided just enough dressyness but the comfort was amazing! Able to wear right out of the box with no issues on the first day! Usually new shoes rub on the heels and bunions causing blisters but not these! I guess that's why they are called walking cradles!

I have a very narrow foot so it's hard to find good fitting shoes. This brand seems to fit the bill. The shoes are very comfortable as well as narrow enough. Perfect for a causal night out. I only wish they came in other color choices.

I cannot say enough about these shoes. Had to wear them to a Gala, and they were so comfortable all night!!! I have wide feet with high arches and these shoes were AMAZING. Comfortable, straps did not bind..have never worn a more comfortable shoe. I highly recommend these shoes...they are literally "walking cradles."

Love this shoe but it hit my bunion and the straps were a little loose.

These feel great! The toe is wide enough for me 10 M. The straps help hold them in place and the heel is not too high. Ready for a night out on the town!

Love theses shoes! Have literally been searching for a pair of heels that don’t hurt for years. Theses are it! I am going to order another pair.

I wore this around the house for over an hour and it could not have been more comfortable. I have looked for a long time for a cute dressy shoe - I have a short wide foot that is hard to fit. LOVE these!

Great evening shoe for any occasion - I wear an 11 EE and this fit great, the toe box was actually wide enough and the peep toe did not rub at all! The fabric is dressy and the heel height is high enough to give a bit of a boost but low enough to be comfortable. Plus, that straps are not too tight and actually help keep the shoe secure on your foot while dancing! The ball of foot could use a little more cusion, but this is a dress shoe afterall. Zappos customer service was terrfic, as always!

so comfortable. after plantar fasciitis i never thought i'd wear heels again. this shoe is a dream--wore them all night long!

OMG! These are the most attractive, comfortable shoes I have ever met!!!

I loved this shoe but it did not work for me. The 2 inch heel is just too much for my ball of foot pain. And the straps were too loose on my smaller foot and made me feel like I would fall off the side of the shoe. It did feel nice and soft and did not bother my bunion. I ended up going with the Walking Cradles Macau which is less elegant looking but gives me a smaller heel and an adjustable strap. I feel it was a better choice for my very difficult to fit feet.

Sometimes it takes me a few tries to find the perfect shoe:This one is a winner! Just wore these to a wedding and danced in them for three hours. Best features: padded insole, solid heel, elastic straps that give with movement. And they make my feet look sleek.

Like the many other pairs of Walking Cradle shoes & sandals I've bought in size 7.5WW from zappos, these "Boa" peep-toe heels fit like a glove right out of the box. So comfortable from the get-go, no break-in time was needed. In fact, after testing them out at home with different dresses, I went about the day, having forgotten they were still on my feet! I could've danced all night at a recent wedding in these heels, which went perfectly with my long black gown. The footbed is not noticeably padded, but very comfortable and doesn't cause my feet to sweat. The micro-fiber upper & subtly glittery straps give these shoes a dressy look, even with only 2" heels. (I usually wear 3" heels, but don't miss the height in these.). Easy on-and-off, too, thanks to stretchable straps and a wide entry to the roomy toe area--neither of which makes the shoes look too big, but sit perfectly on my wide feet as if custom-made. (In comparison, the Walking Cradles "Jolly" heels I'd also ordered in 7.5WW from zappos had a narrower entry to the closed-toe area, so that I could not even try them on, and ended up returning them.) As with my other Walking Cradle shoes, I actually enjoy slipping my feet into these "Boa" heels, knowing how good they'll feel. Very happy with this purchase! PS: I usually wear a 7W, but in my first pairs of Walking Cradles, I had to size up to 7.5WW, which fit just right, and they don't look much bigger than a regular 7.

I have trouble with heels because of foot issues including bunions. These felt great but unfortunately did not look good with my dress. I have wide feet and this width was perfect. They felt so good I almost kept them.

Beautiful shoe...really wanted to keep it but there is not enough ball of foot cushioning for me. I have metatarsalgia and bunions. The width was great and it didn't hurt my bunion. Lack of cushion killed it for me. You will love this shoe though if cushioning is not an issue.

I love the look of these shoes. I was looking for a nice looking pair of shoes to wear with a gown for a wedding. They had to be comfortable as I would be dancing with them. These shoes look feminine, the heel is just right and I purchased a clip embellishment to put on them to dress them up. I have a bunion on one of my feet as well as hammer toes. The hammer toes don't show with this shoe. The fit on the foot with a bunion is a little snug so I am wearing them to stretch them out a bit. I ordered a wide as well but that was way too big. Overall I have bony skinny feet except for the bunion. The elastic bands on top are not tight on me, in fact they are a little lose.
