Customer Reviews Walking Cradles Boa

My feet are a size 11 wide and I mean WIDE. I live in flat comfortable "been there, done that, have the bad back to prove it" shoes. I never wear heels and my Chiropractor can tell you why in 3 X-rays or less. Anyways.... These shoes are the only and I mean the ONLY heels that I found that I could wear as mother of the bridezilla, I mean bride. They are so comfortable, super roomy and no binding anywhere. They are so stylish that you don't feel like you are wearing Old Lady shoes. I stood (for hours waiting for the photographer to take my photo), I sat, I danced A LOT. And my feet are none the worse. Buy these shoes. You won't be sorry (until you get the bill for the wedding, now THAT is painful!).

Based on reviews here I thought I had finally found a dress shoe that would fit my difficult feet. I have bunions and arthritis. However, I had to return these because the edge of the shoe hit my bunion and it rubbed. The toe box is also much narrower than I had been led to believe. Really sad because they are cute shoes. May not fit you if you need extra toe room and have bunions.

On wearing Walking Cradles Boa inside for a test run. I find them very comfortable. The fabric is soft, the toe box is roomy and cut high enough for there to be no pressure on the bunion. I usually order a 7M but ordered 7W, because I was concerned that the elastic would be too tight. It was a good decision for me. I don't have a high arch; I just know that my foot doesn't like to be really tightly gripped. The toe box is not too roomy on my foot; the elastic grips but is not tight. A perfect fit for my narrow heeled and slightly wide forefoot. I think the shoe is smart-looking as well. I discovered that it is a copy of an expensive shoe, except that it is made of fabric instead of leather.

I love these shoes! I feel they run true to size, and the slim width works great for my extremely narrow feet.....size 8S The heel height is just perfect for me. Very classy looking......I bought them to wear to a wedding but I'd have no problem wearing them with jeans as well. Very happy with my purchase!

Out of seven dress shoes ordered, these are the pair that I kept. I have wide feet, collapsing arches, and battle plantar fasciitis. I tried both the 7 wide and 7 extra wide and went with the wide because one of the straps was loose on the extra wide pair. My left foot is half a size bigger than the right, so I also have difficulty finding one pair of shoes that isn't too tight or too loose for my mismatched feet. I love the touch of sparkle on the straps, the moderate heel that makes walking and standing reasonable, and the overall look of these shoes. I bought them to wear with a dress, but I could also wear these with skinny jeans to dress up a casual outfit. I wish the price was better, but for my picky feet, I was just happy to find a stylish and comfortable dress shoe.

The wide toe box in this shoe made it fit comfortably over my big toe, which is always a problem in shoes. These are the only pair that didn't hurt my foot! The elastic straps are comfortable and secure but I wonder how long they'll last with extended use. The shoe needs more cushion in the toe and heel.

I have narrow feet and finding shoes that fit was difficult until Zappos... and these Walking Cradles are the best! Thank you Zappos for helping me find shoes that fit perfectly!!!

I have horrible feet (twisted toes from joint replacement surgeries, bone spurs, hammertoes, etc.) and have never ordered shoes online. My old trusty dress shoes are worn out and my feet have expanded so they don't fit anymore or I'd have them repaired & refinished. I have a big reunion coming up and needed new dress shoes... and saw good reviews on this one. It's impossible to find wide shoes at Dillard's or Macy's so I took a stab and figured I could try these and just pay postage to return them and try another size. OMG... they fit. I have not worn them for long periods of time yet... only around the house... but they actually feel okay. When I wear stockings I think they will be even better. They would be more stylish if the heel was just a little higher, but I think most women could wear these... and I'm excited. And they don't have the awful pointed toes which began all my foot problems long ago.

Amazingly comfortable, versatile, and stylish. I had to wear these shoes from 8 am to 6 pm, on my feet the entire time, to run errands, set up, and then attend a luncheon. I never wear heels, I have a wide foot, a high instep, and these were easy to walk in. I was a little concerned about the elastic straps, but not to worry, the elastic was not an issue. I swear I think I could have worn them another 8 hours! I highly recommend these. They were true to size, and the wide version fit my D width foot. I will definitely try more shoes of this brand.

Very nice shoe. Comfortable and looks great!

Looks nice on foot, but rubs right where the shoe hits the top of my big toe. I will be keeping them as they will work well with almost any attire. Walking Cradles, keep making gorgeous shoes and I'll keep buying.

runs small and narrow. nice feel if size is correct.

this is a very cute shoe. unfortunately it offers no support and my feet need at least a little support. it would be good for dress occasions or when you don't need to do a lot of walking. it would not work for me if I wanted to do any dancing at a party.

feel a bit large on left foot....right foot my problem larger foot so it is good...though both are a bit long ...but going to keep because when feet need the room it will be good to have room with the elastic straps......insole feels good.....could be bit thicker and cushier.... gonna keep cause the size is generous.....fabric is nice....heel height is just right for those of us who need lower heels.

I have extremely narrow feet (8.5 AAA) and have a hard time finding dressy shoes that fit, are stylish, and aren't totally old-ladyish. Saks and Nordstroms used to carry AAA or Slim, but no more. Then someone suggested Zappos.com. It has been beyond my wildest dreams to wear an ankle-strap pump, but when I found these online I thought I'd give them a try. I was very happily surprised. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable. And are (almost) high-fashion.

Walking Cradles is brand I have loved for many years. These shoes are no exception to the quality, fit, comfort and style I have come to expect from WC.

Thank goodness for these shoes! I want cute shoes but years of professional dancing wrecked my feet. It's very challenging to find a stylish shoe that's comfortable and doesn't instantly bring on pain. I bought my usual size 9 in the WW. Heavenly! I know they are cute when my 16yo daughter wants to steal and she said, "oh, those are cute!" Wish they had in other colors.

I ordered a 9.5S (AAA). It for perfectly. Very narrow for my long very skinny foot. It was absolutely gorgeous too. There wasn’t enough support for me. I’m 56 and I don’t wear heals on a regular basis so this just wasn’t sturdy enough for me. I was afraid I’d slip out of it or turn my ankle so I returned it.

Very comfortable and attractive shoe.

My usual size is a 9N, and I originally purchased these in that size. They were too short. I tried to reorder a 9 1/2 N, but narrow was not available. I ordered the 9 1/2 M width and they are perfect! I think the material and style is what enables these to work for me. They have the very comfortable stretch cross straps which cradle my foot.

These fit great - heel height and straps are perfect for standing and dancing! Great purchase for an upcoming wedding.

These shoes are absolutely beautiful and are quite comfortable too. I did send them back and keep a different pair of Walking Cradles though based on the following two reasons that are both about the straps: 1. The straps are a bit scratchy, perhaps due to the sparkly like nature of them. I was worried about them cutting into my feet. 2. Because the straps are stretchy, I am worried that over time the elasticity will go away, rendering the shoe unwearable. Other than those reasons, great shoes!!

Last minute rush, I ordered three pairs of black mid-heel height shoes. By far the most comfortable, and now I understand why they are called walking "cradles"! Definitely recommend, especially if for an evening that involves walking/dancing.

I have a narrow foot and these fit perfectly! Purchased for a wedding and danced all night in them, pain free. No pain next day either.
