Very disappointed! I bought this same boot from Zappos in 2018 and I loved it! After a lot of use, they wore out so I decided to order another pair. Unfortunately, the quality has significantly decreased! The pair I ordered in 2018 was a lovely, plush black suede. This time, the suede was the thickness of fine grain sand paper. It was so thin that you could actually see through it in spots. To make matters worse, I ordered a 7.5 Wide and they sent me a 7.5 Extra-Wide.

Fit my hard-to-fit feet perfectly, which was worth the price. Boots did not hold up well, though. I had to replace them after one season... in a moderately dry winter California climate. I was seriously unhappy with the quality. The heels peeled within a few wears, and the edges frayed quickly.

These boots are comfortable and the leather is soft. The footbed cushioning and arch support are great. However, I should have taken a previous review more seriously. The leather strips that cover the heel are coming off after just a few wearings. Very disappointing.

This was a replacement for a pair I have had for two years but this new pair has a shiny toe and shiny areas on the heel. So I am regrettably returning. The same shininess was on a second pair in a different size so I don't think it was just a single defect.

Love Softwalks and this style, but as others have mentioned, the wood-look heel material is completely unfinished. Rough to the touch and will certainly come apart at the first hint of rain. Returning and really disappointed! Hope they can do this style again with a better finish on the heel trim.

These were WAAAAAAAY too narrow. I typically order a wide, but decided to order these in an extra wide given that I would be wearing them with thick socks and wanted to have plenty of room. When the shoes arrived I tried them on with a very thin gym sock. The fit was so narrow I had to check the box to ensure I didn’t mistakenly order a regular width, but they were marked extra wide. I’ve never, ever ordered an extra wide that wasn’t roomy even with thick socks. Love Zappos quick shipping & easy returns!

I had high hopes for these boots. Unfortunately they arch support in the shoes do not match up with my foot and I consistently wer a size 10 M. The are also very wide so they are not as stylish as I had hoped. However it was the arch hitting my foot incorrectly that sent them back. And a big thank you to Ryan in customer service who made it so easy to return them.

These booties are super comfy and I walked all day in them. They are also very stylish. HOWEVER, after 5 days of city walking the black suede booties started to come apart. The heel started to peel away in layers. If they correct this defect I would definitely get them again.

I was excited to own a pretty cute pair of boots without a stacked heel. However, I was disappointed these boots did not last longer. Both boots had a large crack across the ball of the foot after less than six months of moderate wear.

I have a really hard time finding cute booties. I have plantar fasciitis, bunions, and wide feet(my feet aren't pretty). I was excited to find a cute bootie that came in double wide. I wear a 9 1/2 and even if I wore socks these boots would still be entirely too big. They also rub unpleasantly against my ankle. These are going back.

I bought a pair of these about a year ago and they are comfortable but the heel is starting to peel and the sole has worn out faster than it should have, leaving me with not enough cushion on the ball of the foot. For the price I expected them to have held up better. I'm hesitant to order another pair but have literally tried probably 30 pair of black boots and these are the only ones wide enough (10.5 wide) in the toe box for me. I wish the ball of the foot had more cushion ( I used gel pads in them all last year) and I wish they held up better and came on better looking brown leather color options.

Dear Softwalk,
You have broken my heart. I have been seeking to replace my almost 3 year old Softwalk Rocklin 11N boots in Graphite. I love these boots so much that I want to wear them forever, and they feel like walking on clouds. It is so difficult for me to find comfortable boots for my flat, narrow, size 11 feet. And the light gray suede (Graphite) was the perfect color.
I just tried ordering a new pair from Orthotic Shop online- Softwalk Rocklin, 11N, Graphite. The boots I received are so dark that they are almost black in color, and the quality is very inferior to my previous pair. There was stitching coming out in the footbed when I received them, they do not feel as comfortable, and the materials are not as good quality. I thought that surely this must be a mistake. I tried ordering a pair from Shoe Buy online. I received the same dark gray boots that do not match ANY photos I see of the Softwalk Rocklin in graphite, including on your website! This is indeed false advertising if you have updated your product and not even bothered to update the photos on your website, nor inform any companies that sell this shoe.
What happened to the LIGHT gray style in Graphite suede, like you have pictured? Have you changed this product permanently? I would recommend my old Rocklin boots in a heartbeat, but I cannot recommend the updated ones at the price point you are selling them at.

THE VAMP IS TOO HIGH; it digs into the front of the ankle every step you take.
I am an 8 extra wide and this boots felt perfect with a little extra room for thick socks.
I put them on to see how they felt while getting ready for work, 30 minutes later I decided they wouldn't be comfortable to wear all day.
Sadly I have to send them back.

These boots are very comfortable, but within a few times wearing them the material that covered the heals started peeling. I'm returning them.

These booties are absolutely adorable. I'm tall, so I hunted for a while to find booties with a reasonable heel that were still stylish; these fit the bill perfectly. I had to go down half a size originally, but the exchange was very easy. The shoe is cushioned and comfy. I commute twice a week to work and these are my go to's. They would be getting five stars, but... They have COMPLETELY worn out and started to fall apart in just a few months of pretty light wear. I bought them ~1 year ago, but didn't wear them at first. I've been consistently wearing them twice a week for four months and obviously, they are just not durable at all. I am completely bummed, as I was hoping to buy another pair or two in different styles. Unless I can gain some confidence in them (Has the style/durability changed?) I won't be recommending or buying again. I can't reiterate how disappointed I am. I guess it's time to find another perfect bootie :(

The shoes were very comfortable but they are cheap quality. The "leather" rubbed off on the inner part of the shoe and they are now unwearable after just a month or two. Really disappointed.

I loved these shoes when I got them, very comfortable and cute with jeans, work pants or dresses, etc. Unfortunately, after only a few wears the wrapping/coating on the heels started to peel off. They are not made of actual cork/wood but plastic wrapped in some kind of coating that is just shredding every time I wear them. Might be okay in another heel color but seems ridiculous, especially at this price point. Thank you to Zappos for accepting return with no issues.

Cute and comfortable. After wearing them twice in normal conditions, the material one of the heels started peeling off. Very disappointing.

I loved the cognac so much, 5 stars all-around, that I ordered the black. I'm so sad to have to return them! They are still incredibly cute and comfy as can be, no problems there. But. The black pair seemed to reveal some of the quality issues other reviewers noticed. The stitching on the seam next to the zipper was coming out, bringing the lining with it. The wood-look heel that I loved so much on the cognac was beginning to peel. It wasn't noticeable, but I fear it would only get worse. Also, these were obviously a returned pair. I have no problem with that at all- I love Zappos for the easy returns and I know it means occasionally I'll get a pair someone has tried. The issue was that the uppers were looking a little misshapen, which should not happen with quality leather, even if someone did wear them around for a while. So I'm not going to exchange for a newer pair as I feel these issues have to do with the construction and materials. I hope the cognac pair holds up because I really do love them!

After wearing these boots twice, the faux wood sticker(?) around the heel is starting to bubble and peel off. If this happened toward the end of the season, I would be more understanding. It should not be happening after only wearing them twice. They look cute and feel great, but I will be returning these for a full refund.

I really wanted to love these shoes! I love the look of them & wanted a bootie that would be a comfortable walking shoe. However, these were ok comfortable just standing still but as soon as I walked (just around in my house) the structure of the shoe is quite rigid - meaning the leather upper doesn't "flex" or move at all as you walk. I am positive that after not very much walking it would have rubbed my ankle (at the top front of the shoe/ at the top opening). So disappointed. The inner sole was very comfortable, but it was the upper portion of shoe that was not soft at all and therefore would not be a good walking shoe for me, personally. I will return these. One additional item I didn't like was that they were loud as I was walking on my hardwood floors. Meaning, the sole was not soft and quiet when walking. I ordered Rockport Cobb Hill Nicole and they are exactly the walking/ stylish/ comfortable bootie I was needing. They feel like a sneaker and are soft and flex with your foot/ ankle as you walk!

I was quite enamoured with these for the first 3.5 months. They straddle the line of comfort and fashion nicely, and it can be difficult to find attractive boots in wider widths. They're versatile, and not bad for long walks. I did a lot of research prior to purchasing these.
Sadly, last week, while on a trip, the sole of one boot cracked straight through to the leather underneath, leaving me stuck walking for hours in the rain with one very wet foot. Tremendously disappointed that I had to toss boots at this price point in less than 4 months. As a student, I really can't afford to replace them with anything comparable right now. I'd been treating the leather regularly and had looked forward to having them for a long time.

The stacked wood heel is actually a glued on strip which had started to peel before I tried them on. Hard to believe this shoe would hold up. The fit was great. To the SoftWalk company: Don't cut corners and raise the price if you need to. It is a well designed shoe for narrow feet with high arches. I would have purchased them if the boot had been made better.
