Customer Reviews Walking Cradles Esme

I loved these boots. However, my left ankle swells due to a previous energy, and the boot's ankle was not able to accommodate the swelling. I tried both a Medium and a Wide in size 8.5.

nicely styled and soft black boot. True to size. able to fit my orthotics in boot. Last on bottom of shoe is not full. As I am used to wearing more full-last shoes, I had less ankle stability than I was used to. Had to return and buy a fuller-last boot (in this case a men's boot) If this is not an issue for you, then this boot is great

I ordered these in a 6W. Normally I wear a 6 or 6-1/2 W or WW and these boot were so wide and so big they felt like a 7WW. They are not that attractive but the leather is very soft and they have good support.

Finally! A bootie I can wear! I need a very wide toe box to accommodate a very wide foot and long big toe. I also have one bunion and get pains in the balls of both feet, so I need to minimize pressure points. I have had good luck with Walking Cradles sandals and have found that with their generous widths, I can downsize from the 10.5W I usually need in a sneaker. I ended up, after several exchanges, settling on an 8.5WW; plenty of toe room, generous width, and very soft, comfortable leather with no seams or pressure points. The footbed does not come out to allow for orthotics, but their padded footbeds are about as comfortable as one can get from the factory. Not much arch support, but these are not boots that I will be using for taking long walks. For me, they satisfy the need for a generally comfortable, stylish bootie that I can wear with ankle/cropped pants, tights, or leggings. FYI, I initially bought a pair of Munro Abbot booties (almost 2 1/2 times the price) based on the rave reviews on Zappos; found these much more comfortable, equally nice to look at, and much more affordable.

I bought these in black, size 9W. These are just so cute and in style. The leather is nice and very supple. I liked them but the ankle is so narrow, I couldn't zip them. If you have slim legs, they would be a great choice.

These boots are larger than I expected. If I wear two pairs of socks they are fine.

These booties are nice looking. I normally wear 11W, and in this style and size I think Walking Cradles run wider than usual. That's OK, though, because they are roomy enough for orthotics and socks, giving more arch support, and feel comfortable on my bunions. Non-slip sole is great on slippery floors. Although they feel cushy and supportive, I haven't worn them for any length of time yet, so will see how they feel after an all day event.

The fit was perfect - 8.5N and they are very comfortable. They seemed to be rubbing on one spot on my big toe on the left side, but I attributed that more to my feet than the show. I bought two pair, black and brown and waited on wearing the brown until I was sure they would be comfortable for a long day at work. They are soft inside and very comfortable and after wearing them a while, I no longer have the pressure on my left toe. The leather seems to have given a little. I will keep the brown ones too and these will most likely be my main winter shoes. I was afraid they would look too masculine with tights and a dress, but they are actually quite cute. I recommend them!

Nice boot. A bit plain and similar to a pair I just got (Clarks). Fairly good fit. If I hadn’t found another boot I might have kept these.

They look cheaper in person than they did in the photos. Material looks very plastic.

This was comfy but after 3 months, the cushioning collapsed so retired them.

Boot is cute and feels true to size. There is no arch support and you can feel the ground through the sole.

I have a wide foot. The wide was a true wide. I have orthotics and I cud not remove the original insert. There is not enough support in this botie. With an orthotic I usually need a 91/2. This 91/2 was way too big. I would order a smaller size however, I can’t remove original incerts

I like the boot but too wide. I like leather.

These are wide and flat with no arch support and they look clod hopperish, not stylish. My heels slide with each step, somewhat helped by inserting a felt strip.

I usually where a size 8WW, but this 7.5WW was way to big. Maybe a 7WW might have been a better fix. I read the reviews/size chart to figure out what size to buy. I like the look for the Fall season, but I have to return them.

I really liked the leather, color and style of these boots. They did not feel good though. There is not enough padding under the feet and the insole in the left shoe did not reach the front end. The ankle was too tight compared to the foot. So I am sadly returning them.

The boot itself fit wonderfully around my foot, but the ankle was too snug - it hit my shin with every step and if I had worn them for a while I would have ended up with either a bruise or a blister. Very sorry to return them... they need more of an elastic gusset at the ankle. And for the record, I don't have fat ankles or legs...very normal size.

I usually wear either a 5-1/2 WW or 6 WW. This shoe was available only in the 6 WW and my feet were swimming in them. I liked the width, but they seemed long. Had to return. The leather looked a bit faux and was not as dark as in the photo.

I loved this bootie but the toe box is obviously going to cause pain on one foot. They are cute and would of worked if not for my toe issues. I hate to return them but I know they would end up not being worn. I need to accept the fact that there just isn't a style of bootie that is going to fit my feet.

Fit and size were great (I have bunions so getting a 8.5WW was a nice option for extra roominess). However, the leather at the toe box started peeling within a month of buying them. They are so scraped up (not from dragging my feet) that it's embarrassing to wear them now.

order size 81/2 my normal size much too big! reordered 7, too small.

I had to go down a half size, they were still loose but worked great with thick socks. After a month they were peeling on the toes.

I love the look of these but the are not comfortable. They feel like a pair of cheapo shoes that should cost about $25 - I'm not kidding. I'm tired of paying high prices for not-so well made shoes. I'm returning them because I don't want to keep supporting this business model. You should get quality for $100.

loved the ruched look and leather texture...very attractive and seems very comfortable on the foot
