Customer Reviews Walking Cradles Orleans

These were THE shoes I was looking for to travel to France for a month. Easy to slip on and off at the airports, no socks required and nice looking. They are soft, fit perfectly and are attractive with jeans and slacks. I wore them around the house for about 15 minutes and they were wonderful. So I kept them and wore them to a doctor's appointment. By the time I left there, my feet were sliding around because my feet were so sweaty and when I got to the parking lot, I was in such discomfort, I had to take them off and walk barefoot to my car. With a name like Walking Cradles, one would think that they would have interior lining that wasn't rubber like which made my feet sweat and swell. I don't have sweaty feet normally, so this was a real surprise - an unfortunate surprise. I so wanted these shoes to travel with. I called Zappos and explained that I had worn these shoes, but needed to return them. The people at Zappos were wonderful as always and I can't thank them enough for understanding my problem and returning the shoes with no problems.

Really loved the subtle pink color and cushion on these shoes and wanted to keep, but they had too much gap by my heels.

Great shoe. only con is, the shoe is loud. It’s sounds like I’m wearing comfortable wicker.

I love the look of this shoe and was hopeful it was going to work for me. I am a wide but with a narrow heel which is very frustrating. Unfortunately, the toe box area fit very well but I was slipping out of the heel and even adding an insert did not help. They had to be returned.

I was excited to find my size in these shoes which is a 10.5 Narrow. Sadly, the heel is not a narrow. When taking a step, my entire heel slid right out of the shoe. Sending these back today.

These shoes felt like a cloud. Most amazing shoes if you’re on your feet all day. I had to return the black perforated nubuck pair because the stitching on the sides near the elastic rubbed the inside of my foot. I kept the black matte snakeskin pair. Even though they’re technically the same shoe, the matte pair didn’t rub my feet. I wore them all day and they felt as good as when I first put them on.

These shoes are a little longer than some other brands which I like since it seems I'm between sizes. They are comfortable and give me the support I need following hip replacement.

I really liked these shoes; they were comfortable and looked great but I did return them due to the hard sole. I am looking for a comfortable shoe to wear as I explore Europe. There is just not enough bounce in the sole to be comfortable for extended periods on your feet.

I have medium width feet, but with very narrow heals, and It is hard for me to find shoes that don't slip off my heels or pinch my little toe on my left foot.. These shoes do neither. In fact, they are so comfortable that after buying a pair in taupe I bought a second pair in black. Wish that they came in brown.

Love,love,love these shoes!! I have a difficult foot to fit narrow heel and afoot that is narrow top to bottom not width wise. These shoes fit well and are very comfy, no sliding around in the shoe when I wear them! I’m so happy to have a slide on that finally fits!

Very few shoes available in 10 and 1/2 which is needed in my older age for toe problems. I usually size up to 11 because no half size over size 10 and use with socks. So the fit is good overall. They slip just a little in the heel but do well with a no show sock. The comfort and support are definitely there- very cushiony. Unless you object to wearing any type of sock, many times it is the answer to the best fit.

I have very wide feet and ordered these in a wide width. If I didn't also have bunions, I would keep these shoes. The cushioning inside is soft but not too soft and still provides some support. There is also a little lift at the heel so you aren't walking completely flat-footed. However, the material doesn't stretch quite enough to be kind to my bunions. When walking the material puts a lot of pressure on my bunions and I had to return them. This made rating the "comfort" very troublesome for me. My issue may be very specific to me and my feet. If your bunions aren't so prominent (or you are luck and don't have any bunions!), these may work for you.

It took three tries to get the right size. I tried 8 M 8 N, and then 7.5 M. I am usually an 8 medium, but in these I am a perfect 7.5 medium. Once I got the right fit, I fell in love with the shoes. They are very comfortable, and will work nicely with dresses and pants. I expect that they will be great shoes for walking around Paris this summer.

Now have these shoes in both black and navy (Matte Snake) - normally wear an 8N, but needed the 7 1/2 N in these. They fit like a glove and I am able to wear them without socks.

I have a narrow foot and it's not easy to find shoes that fit properly. Though I haven't worn these outside yet due to the weather, they fit well and are comfortable. I look forward to using them on a vacation where I will do a lot of walking.

Had seen a friend with these who raved about their comfort...I am a big 'Sketchers' fan but wanted something with more support/more substantial and these fit the bill! They are a bit narrower than I expected...cannot wear my regular size with socks...will have to break them in I suppose. They are a little 'dorkier' than I expected...not as sporty...but overall are attractive in the Navy which is the color I chose.

I ordered a half size down because I ordered these last year in my true size and while they were cute and super comfy my heal slipped out when I walked. I tried to reorder the 1/2 size down but sadly they were out of stock. So when I saw they were available this year, I ordered them a 1/2 size down and they are perfect! I love them!

I was looking for casual, but not too casual, shoes for an upcoming cruise. I take minimum pairs (two) and wanted comfort for walking. I found the perfect pair in Walking Cradles Orleans. I broke from my usual black for something that would work into spring and summer. These shoes are aptly named--they do cradle my foot. They are squishy without being loose or sloppy. I love the peachy/beige color. I will be looking for another pair! Maybe the black.

The heavens opened up and angels were singing when I tried on these shoes. 9M, normal size for me, whiney left toe is usually my deal-breaker, but these shoes ARE PERFECT! Pretty navy suede, just great across the mid-step, comfortable heel cup and cushioning for days! LOVE!!

So far, soooo good. I'll review them again when I get back from Europe. I'll be doing lots of walking there and its the reason I got these shoes. Don't want to be uncomfortable walking around Europe!

I have wide (6.5 WW) flat feet and wear orthotic inserts. I wanted shoes for travel and these fit the bill perfectly. They are comfortable, accommodate my inserts, and look nice, too! I like that the soles are muted and not bright white. I’ve worn other styles in Walking Cradles; they are an excellent choice for me!

Great fi. Comfortable shoe

I thought from the picture that these shoes would be really cute and I was not disappointed. I wear a 9 1/2N and the fit was perfect. I have arthritis on the tops of both feet so ordering online is a gamble for me but this one paid off. I have worn them for several hours on two occasions and they were quite comfortable. I had never even heard of this brand so from beginning to end, this was a pleasant surprise. (I gave a five star rating but that does not seem to be staying up on this page.)

I wear 4.5 medium width and this slip on fit perfectly. I see reviewers saying the heel slips but I this isn’t happening to me. Fit is secure but not tight. They were comfortable from the start with little pillows massaging my feet in the sole. Slightly heavier than some others I’ve tried but they have more support which is what I was looking for. Style is OK (purchased snakeskin). It’s not my fav look but it’s also not ugly by a long shot. I find myself picking them when I dress most days now.

I'm very happy with these shoes, the fit for me is true to size. I wear a 9.5 W, the wide because of Taylor Bunions (aka baby bunions that develope on the baby toe side of the foot). Super comfortable from the start, and very stylish.
