My feet love these shoes! The leather is beautifully soft, they fit like a glove, have good support and are so very comfortable. When the other color I like is available, I will buy it. Wore them all day the 1st day, and they remained comfortable the whole day. I purchased the 'pewter' leather and have received compliments already! Have been looking for oxfords that are not too masculine and these fit the bill. Very happy.

Size and width (8N) was perfect right out of the box! Walked 2 miles the same day without any issues. Like any arch supports, you do feel it pressing against your arch, but your feet adjust to it. Thinking of purchasing another color. Love the look of the denim nubuck. Picture shows it to be darker but what I got was a lighter blue/grey color which is still fine with me.

These are amazing shoes. They're so comfy that I don't think twice about wearing them for my 1.5-mile walk to work, and I get lots of compliments. I did, however, go up a width, from M (my usual width) to W. If you typically need a Wide width, these shoes might not work for you.

Size 11 fit like expected, and I think I have pretty normal, always size 11, feet. This is a cute, stylish, comfortable shoe. I really like the thick white sole.

Comfortable with out being too frumpy! They are soft and flexible all around, I ordered medium based on reviews but need to exchange for a narrow. I ordered the navy and cinnamon. The navy is not as deep of a blue as I hope, more teal. Cinnamon is spot on.

Nice looking shoe, quite light feeling ( in a good way), but I ordered the wide and this was not anything like a wide (see pic). Returned.

Good looking shoe with great support, which are scarce qualities in a size 12. However these wides are not a true wide. I will keep them because my feet still fit (rather snugly though).

The big issue was the low heel at the back of the foot. Did not feel comfortable at all. And I was looking for a walking shoe!

I like this shoe (grey patent leather looks great), but it’s not wide enough to wear a regular sock. It fits, but snugly, and I like more room.
I normally wear 7W which was not available so I got 7.5 W - that length was perfect but you’d think it would be extra wide being a half size bigger and it wasn’t.

Bought these for my daughter and she is still trying to make them work. Love the style. Ordered a half size larger and the fit is pretty right on. Only issue is that her heel slips when she walks. Trying a heel pad to see if that helps...

The leather on the edge of the tongue and around the opening are not soft and immediately started rubbing my feet. I would not have been able to tolerate breaking them in. They are beautiful shoes and the footbed was comfortable but the sharp edges of the leather made it impossible for me to wear them.

I love wearing oxford shoes but I was not lucky with this pair. I wear 7W and have a bunion on my left foot. Even though I ordered a wide, I still felt the sting on my left foot on that darn bunion. Also, the heel seemed to slip when I walked. Lovely style but sadly they must go back.

Very comfortable and stylish but unfortunately the soles started coming apart fairly quickly. Not worth the price tag.

I am returning the shoes because after wearing them for 2 weeks the sole with the tread started to pull away. It is a shame because they look great and were comfortable.

I ordered a W in these shoes and they were not wide at all. Why can't they mark these shoes properly. The size 9.5 was right, and the style was nice but the shoes are quite narrow.

The fit and size are very accurate to regular shoe sizes. I am a 7 and I got a 7 and it fits well. The shoe is fairly comfortable. However, the black outer shiny layer of the shoe peels off after only a couple times of wear. I have owned the shoes a year now and the shiny back is peeling off all over the place and is not attractive at all, and so I really can non longer wear the shoe. It is not well-made and I would not recommend. Even the front of the soft sole is worn and broken and I hardly wear the shoes at all. I only wear them occasionally to volunteer as an usher a theatre, and its not a lot of walking, and the shoes are not holding up.
I am also adding my frustration that I cannot upload my iPhone photos of the defective shoes. Each photo is only 1.3 MB and this site said it could handle up to 8 MB per photo, so I don't understand why it isn't working. I also changed the formatting to jpeg to see if THAT would work, but it still does not. Do other iPhone users have this problem?

I am always a M standard width but decided to order wide after reading the reviews. I was completely shocked when I put them on and they were so uncomfortably small and tight. Something seems really off about the sizing here. Returning.

SoftWalk is a favorite brand for comfort and fit. It is hard to find my size 10 N, but this shoe fits as though it were custom made for me. When I tried them on, I left them on!

This is my first SoftWalk purchase. Don’t know why I waited so long. My foot is very narrow, sometimes requiring a slim width rather than a narrow. I love oxford-style shoes and decided to take a chance on the red Willis. I was looking for a red shoe. As soon as I opened the box, I knew the fit would be perfect. The Willis hugs my foot nicely, without any pressure points or heel slippage. I know I will be able to walk and stand for hours in my new SoftSpots. Can’t wait to wear them with wide leg jeans & pants.

Perfection from the moment I put them on. They even accommodated my bunion. Great arch support. Don’t even have to wear my orthotics.
