I have a AAA foot with a AAAA heel and the width is perfect. I also am a 9.5 all the time except in a flat shoe I sometimes need a 10. As soon as I put this shoe on in a 9.5 Narrow it was perfect. The lining in the shoe is so comfortable.

I love these shoes! I am normally a 9N and ordered a 9N. It is difficult for me to find shoes that fit and are comfortable, so these were a pleasant surprise! I would prefer that they didn't have the snakeskin texture, but am willing to overlook that!

comfortable but tend not to breathe and the material makes your feet hot. I do love Walking Cradles for their padded interiors which I must have to be comfortable

I loved the color and style of these shoes. Unfortunately, there was an unsightly gap on the outer edge of the heel. I tried them on numerous times but, in the end, I could not justify keeping them.

Unfortunately these shoes did not work for me. Usually Walking Cradles fit my very narrow feet, but these were just too wide. Really liked the look of the shoe though.

These shoes are cute and comfortable, especially for spring and summertime wearing. I did find them a teeny bit long, but the width was great. I had no problem with the heel. The blush color is great— goes with everything. I recommend these, for sure!

I usually wear a 7 1/2 W, but these were narrower than expected so I sized up to 7 1/2 WW. The cushioning is nice but there is no arch support at all, unlike what other reviewers said. I ended up putting in a Pedag stick-on arch to make these work. I like the perforation keeping my feet cool but I don't think, based on the lack of support, that I'd buy this brand again. I'd rather buy shoes that are supportive from the start, not shoes that require I doctor them to make them work.

I've been a consistent size 8W for 20 years. When I ordered this size, it felt a half size too large. The shoe felt loose with about half of an inch between the end of my big toe and the top of the shoe (inside the toe box). They also slipped off my heels as I walked. I got the tan color first. Out of the box and on my feet, they looked like old lady orthotic shoes. I returned the 8W and got the same shoes in 7.5W navy blue. The look was a tad better, but Walking Cradles missed the mark when they changed the sides of the sole to a silver grey color rather than keeping the classic white associated with slip on sneakers. Unfortunately, the fit was off, too. The 7.5W was now the correct length, but too tight, squeezing the sides of my big and small toes and the top of the my feet. Plus, the insert was noticeably less cushioned. I felt the hard plastic sole with each step. The 7.5W was returned as well.

I hate to slam a shoe, but this one makes the foot look like a loaf of French bread. Looks better off the foot than on! Apart from that, it seems to run true to size and is deep enought to accomodate a full-length orthotic insert.

I wear size 11 and sometimes an 11 is not quite long enough, especially to wear socks. The shoes didn't have lots of room, were a snug fit actually in a M, but would work for me. Stiff to begin with, probably could walk that out. I like the metallic - actually pretty neutral.

Cute shoe, I wish it would have worked for me, but the narrow is still too wide. I step almost all the way out of the shoe with each step because it sleeps so much.

The length was a full size too long. Quality made shoe but VERY heavy. That was surprising as I expected a rather lightweight shoe.

These shoes are super comfortable and easy to wear. Practically water proof as well when I accidentally wore it in a rain storm. Unfortunately, in less than 2 months the heel has already wore out and since its not a solid heel there is a cavity that is now exposed. Great shoes but too expensive for 1 month of wear.

Loved the style, look and comfort but this shoe was way too big and way too wide. It was labeled Narrow but felt like a medium/wide. And the shoe felt a full size too long. Would try a smaller size but I need narrow shoes and these definitely are not.

This shoe does not look like an expensive shoe! The leather and the finishing details don't give the overall impression of fine craftsmanship. It looks like a bargain basement special. I returned it.

These are cute but run at least a full size or size and a half too large! They also seem somewhat heavy but because of the poor fit--back they go.

This is a really nice looking casual shoe and very well make. I bought it in the pale pink, which is a popular color now. Ii purchased it in a 7 1/2 WW. Unfortunately, I have to return it since I couldn't even get my feet into the shoe.

The shoes looks just as pictured and seems to be made of very good materials and workmanship. However, the size was way off for me. I ordered extra wide for my women's extra wide feet. They in fact are only wide in fit and are made for pancake feet. No depth in the top material to accomodate toes. Rounded toe on this shoe? Forget about it. Well, maybe if they mean rounded as in not pointy.

So comfy BUT a bad design. The back sides (near ankles) stuck out, would be good if you have wide ankles. I wish they were more flush to my foot. Also, they made phewf! noises w every step from air coming out - from either the sides being too wide or the holes in the design of the suede. And the overall style was too frumpy for me.

Not sure where to begin. I agree with the other comments on fit in the heel. I sized down a half from my normal wide and the heel slips like crazy. But the toes are comfy! The leather is soft and flexible enough. With thick ankle socks it helps much -but then defeats the nice clean look of the loafer.... I then sized down another half with not much hope - and as others mentioned the shoe is now crazy short and tight across the top! But the heel is great with no heel slippage. It's like they are two different shoe parts. I don't have skinny ankles so there is no excuse for these shoes except poor engineering all around. The only thing going for it is that it doesn't have an arch support to throw it off more in the fit - although It is cushy. Sorry Walking Cradles, but your shoes are not worth the price point!!
