Customer Reviews SoftWalk Rocklin

I love the Softwalk Rocklin boot, so much that I ordered it in two colors. The Navy Blue (Nubuck?) fits perfectly, and I wore it out of the house almost immediately upon receiving it. I have hard to fit feet, and these worked. They are comfortable, simple in style but on-trend, and look great with jeggings. I also had ordered them in Grey Leather, which is a great color. I love that the leather means that I can waterproof them with mink oil to protect the color and the integrity of the leather. However, the grey fits differently, and they feel 1/2 size too small. I need an 8.5 WW in this bootie. The 9.0 WW is too big in all colors, and the 9.0 W is too narrow for my left foot. Therefore, I will return the grey in the 8.5 WW, sadly. I took off one star for the overall rating based on the different fits from one color to the next, but I do like them and recommend them.

This Softwalk Rocklin in Black Tumbled Leather is perfect for my needs, however it seems to run about 1/2 size too long. I can almost wear it with a very thick sock, but then it cramps the pinkie toe on my wider foot. I ordered a 9.0 WW, and the extra wide width is perfect, but there is 1/4" to 1/2" extra length behind my heel once my foot settles into the shoe. So, I would say that this shoe runs LONG, but NOT Large in it's sizing. I usually need a 9.0 W, but in this shoe I need an 8.5 WW, which I should be able to wear with thin socks. I loved the black leather with the brown sole, but that does give it a more casual vibe. I love the simplicity of the style and the high vamp in the front. Also Really Love the STEEL shank!

I am returning the Softwalk Rocklin in the Navy color because it is too long. I believe this bootie runs Long, but NOT Large, in it's sizing. Normally I take a 9.0 W in most shoes. However, in this shoe I need an 8.5 WW in order to get the room that I need in the toe box without it being too long in the heel. In the 9.0WW, my foot slides down into the toe, which doesn't pinch, but then it leaves a half-inch gap behind the heel. The shoe has good support, and I can even wear it with my custom orthotic insert if I wear thin socks. I like the style for it's simplicity, and love the support of the steel shank. It's a good shoe, albeit expensive. I have this shoe in the 8.5 WW in the grey, and the front of the bootie tends to rub my ankles a little, so I hope that it softens up with wearing around the house before I make my final decision about whether to keep it.

I am returning the Softwalk Rocklin in the color Saddle because it does not quite match what is shown online; it is a more orange-y light brown in reality. It's a very nice color, but not one that goes with much in my wardrobe. I need more of a taupe-y or coffee color brown, to work in my wardrobe. Also, I believe that this shoe runs LONG, but NOT Large, in it' sizing. Normally I take a 9.0 W in most shoes. However, in this shoe I need an 8.5 WW in order to get the room that I need in the toe box without it being too long in the heel. I have it in 8.5WW in another color, so I quite sure about the sizing. The shoe has good support, and I can even wear it with my custom orthotic insert if I wear thin socks. I like the style for it's simplicity, and love the support of the steel shank. It's a good shoe, albeit expensive. The front of the bootie tends to rub my ankles a little, so I hope that softens up with wearing around the house before I make my final decision.

there is a weird bump/elevation in the middle of the sole - I assume for support but hit me weird. I expected these to be super comfortable and supportive but the Blondo brand was just as comfy. Will keep and get used to them I hope.

Having a narrow width (8N) is always a challenge when purchasing shoes . These boots work for me , comfortable and nice looking . I’ve ordered some SoftWalk boots that were too tight in toe space but these weren’t. Very pleased with this purchase. As always Zappos being the great company it is returns are never a problem.

When I received these shoes, they looked like they had already been worn quite a bit. The toes had the suede worn down and were shiny, as well as the heels. I was so disappointed! I've never received shoes in this condition from Zappos before. As far as the shoe itself goes, they were very comfortable! I have a narrow foot and also have problems with my arch, and these felt good on both counts. Seeing the condition the shoes were in when I received them made me realize maybe getting suede is not such a good idea. But I do like this style so might try them in another kind of material.

Nice looking boot and good fit for my hard to fit feet. Wide toe box, narrow ankle. Sadly the toe of one fo the new boots arrived scuffed so I am exchanging.

I first ordered an 8, liked the padded sole so much and knew 1/2 size up should do it. Shipped to hotel during travel- needed those booties!! Fit was great (I do always add a 1/2 insole for arch support) but padding is great for lots of walking. SADLY first time out on street I scuffed the toe somehow (not enough of an accident to really look at my boot till back at hotel- the top layer of leather was peeled back! For this price, Soft Walk needs to improve their leather! Returning to try Blondos, May reorder and hope for a better pair soon- they are so comfortable.

Pretty shoe. Returned. Didn't fit.

Nice boots, worn them several times, they seem decently comfortable so far. Not much cushion or support.

These fit me well enough, seemed a bit loose, but that wasn't a critical issue. Loved the fact that I could use my orthotics. Mainly I felt that they were visually not exactly what I wanted. Too me, the heel looks too small proportionately to the rest of the shoe. I ordered a wide so maybe that was the problem - possibly the regular width is more proportionate to the heel.... But otherwise it's a cute shoe and I really wanted it to work. Moving on...

Feels half size small / short for sure on my right foot (not normal). I am ordering an 8.5 in hopes that’s all I need. Shipping to a hotel where we will be for 4 days with good amount of walking. Cushioned sole feels good, but not as much as hoped. Cute basic LOW heel bootie! Needed a saddle tan and haven’t seen another that is this low, good color.

I loved the feel of these. They were very comfortable. I have two other pairs of Soft Walk booties, both are size 71/2, but I needed an 8 in these. The only reason I returned them was because I wanted a darker grey color, so I chose the vionic.

Loved these boots when I bought them. Wore them into Manhattan and not too bad, but some width issues after couple hours. Wore them again today to an event and disappointed. I am usually medium-wide, depends on the brand. I ordered these in wide for heavier socks in winter. Folks, these are NOT wide, even with thin, fall socks. Order the double wide! I have very difficult feet....very high arch and wear a 10 1/2, which most manufacturers don't even make. The leather feels like butter, which I love..........but, regrettfully, I am ordering AGAIN, this time in DOUBLE WIDE and donating my recent purchase. I've tried 15 different boots from Zappos....surprised they haven't tossed me as a customer. Love u Zappos, and hope I love the double wides!!! (I WILL FIND BOOTS!)

Not quite as comfortable as the other 2 pairs that have. More narrow in the toe box.

Very comfortable footbed. Not very comfortable around the ankle.

There's something about these that I didn't love. They fit great, and are very cushioned (comfy), but I didn't like the bumpy black leather, and I didn't like the plain style of the front. They look exactly like they do in the photos, so I'm not sure why I ordered them (maybe because the brand is so comfortable). I just couldn't live with the plainness. If you like the style in the photos, you'll love these boots.

The fit was perfect. The ankle part was not too high. Some booties rub on the ankle bone, not these. Nice padding, comfortable to walk in on day one.

True to size and width. Scuffed on the first day after I tripped on the bus...and the leather is not that thick. Fixed with at home shoe kit, but wish the leather exterior was thicker.

These were comfortable in so many ways except the arch support didn't work for me. It felt forced (not a gradual rise) and hit in an odd spot. It felt like a large marble. Too bad because it's hard to find a nice match with a comfort shoe and style.

sorry to send these back. The front cuff hits the front of my lower leg when I walk and the edge is stiff. The innersole is wonderfully soft and they are cute shortie boots but not for me.
