Customer Reviews Walking Cradles Tess

This is my first experience with this brand, The beige color in these leather shoes was a decent match to the screen, and quite even (no blotches/burnishing). Decent amount of space in the toe box, and no toe cleavage. You could lift out the insert in the shoe if you need to. I am a 10C, with an average to slightly narrow heel, medium arch and some over pronation. I do not normally have an issue with the volume of my foot--usually my problem is finding the right width for my little toe (which these shoes did offer), and occasionally with the location of the arch. These shoes even in a 10 W cut across the top of my foot, most notably near the big toe. The arch support in these shoes consists of about a 1/8" rise at the most--(so I clicked no arch support as that seemed so VERY little to me). If you have little volume/height in the front of your foot these might work for you, but not for me. I hope this helps someone.

I wear a 9 in my other Walking Cradles but this was smaller.

True to size.

Very comfortable flat. Tess is a great choice when you need an elasticsized topline flat that provides lots of toe room. The obvious elastic ( towards the heel of the shoe) is worth the fit!

Based on the other reviews, I ordered half a size up and the 9.5 EE fit my 9 EE foot perfectly. Really comfy with a cushy insole

A classic well made flat. Foot bed brings a padded Walking Cradle comfort. True to size, comfy but lacked arch support. My feet felt as if they pronated when walking. A arch support would prevent lateral roll out. Otherwise great!

Comfortable in the toe box. Truly a wide shoe. But the ruching on the edge of the shoe is very distracting. It makes the sides of the shoe gap. Very unfortunate because it is a very comfortable ballet flat.

The shoes are well made but run very small, short to be specific. My toes pressed hard against the front of the shoe. The width was fine. And the heel area was fine. They were comfortable on the foot, just very short on the toes.

I ordered the size I have previously taken in Walking Cradles flats, and I really love these, but they run very, very small.

Need straps to keep on. Not fond of the gathered look.

This line of shoes runs very small and narrow.

Too short.

I did not see that this was a final purchase. Now I am stuck with a shoe that does not fit. Not happy about this.

These shoes were tight length size and I got extra wide which was more like regular wide width. My toes were scrunched. I went I half size bigger than my usual size 8 and these 8.5 shoes felt like 7.5. I do not recommend.
