Customer Reviews Walking Cradles Pool

These sandals fit well, are extremely comfortable for long periods of walking, have terrific arch support, and look great. My complaint is with the cheaply-fabricated soles which are thin and which after only 5-6 weeks of wear, 2-3 days a week, are worn down on the heels, and I'm starting wear down the cork. The latex soles should extend all the way to the edge of the cork all around the shoe, but there's a couple millimeters of cork showing around most of both soles. Two shoe repair persons refused to fix them saying the shoes were made cheaply and wouldn't last me the summer. If you don't mind paying $100 for sandals that might not last longer than a couple of months, these will work. If you're looking for better value and craftsmanship, buy so,etching else.

These are some of the most comfortable sandals I've ever owned. They are also some of the most crappily made. The rubber soul at the bottom began separating from the cork part after I wore them once. The inner bottom of the shoe has also separated. They look ragged and years old even though they are only a couple of months old. That said, I will wear them to death. They are cute and comfy. i've worn them a dozen times. But not worth $100. Buy only if you have money to burn. You'll love them, but their life will be SHORT.

I cannot rave about these shoes enough!!! I have a size 7WW (extra wide/'E') foot with moderate arches, wide front of foot and regular-to-narrow heel. I often find it difficult to find shoes that are wide enough and those that come in extra wide are, frankly, often hideous and lack any kind of style. I've tried many brands, including Clarks, and have found that they run narrow and lack arch support. Although the price on these was a little steep I was attracted to the various browns, the classic yet cute styling (such as the tri-color straps and the side rivets on the side straps) and all of the good reviews. I was a little hesitant about ordering sandals with velcro because I find that looks super tacky, BUT, when I received them today I just had to write a review immediately. The footbed on this shoe cradles my foot. The arch support is EXCELLENT. The cork footbed with mircofiber/sueded lining is cushiony and gives a spring to your step. The strap that goes along the front (across the toes) was a perfect WW and did not dig in to my toes. There are 2 straps that are adjustable and I didn't have to do any adjusting, maybe tightening the strap across one arch more than the other to be a little more snug. The straps are soft--nothing cut into my toes or feet and they fit PERFECTLY. I was little dubious about the raised balls on the footbed too but they were so comfortable. These are shoes that I will live in the rest of the summer and I am going to be ordering more colors. This is my first pair of shoes from this company and I checked their website and they have tons of casual and dressy styles--I am a fan and will definitely be a repeat customer. These shoes, while more than many might want to spend on a pair of casual, strappy sandals will be worth it in the long-run. They are very well-made, unbelievably comfortable, and you will get so much wear out of them. They are worth 5 pairs of cheap sandals you can pick up from a TJ Maxx or elsewhere that won't give you the same support or comfort. Seriously, buy them!!!

I love them, however they do not hold up. I got them for a trip and they are falling apart.

Wasn't sure if these would be cute or not in person. I'm 44 and don't want a shoe that's going to age me. But I also have bad plantar fasciitis and need a shoe with good support. This is the shoe for me! I haven't taken them off my feet since they arrived 24 hours ago. I love them! Comfy, cute. The total package!

I haven't had the opportunity to wear these out of my house as it is still winter but I loved them immediately. I dealt with plantar fasciitis this fall and these sandals seem to provide excellent support. They are lightweight, great arch support and very comfortable. I bought the browns - love the mix of colors. They are subtle but add a bit of interest. I highly recommend these sandals.

I really liked these sandals when they first arrived. The foot bed is very comfortable and they are cute. However, after wearing them about a dozen times under 'non demanding' circumstances e.g. smooth terrain, indoors, dry weather, light walking etc., I was disappointed to see the cork in front of the sole start to peel and the rubber outsole begin to separate from the cork foot bed. These sandals are poorly made and likely defective. There goes $100.

these shoes are fabulously comfortable. Being able to adjust the strap that goes across the foot is the ticket! Love them so much I ordered another pair in a different color

Wow...little did I know that these shoes would be the MOST comfortable ones I own. I have to wear "comfort" shoes to ward off plantar fasciitis (which I never want to get again). So I'm familiar with the genre. These are just super comfortable, super supportive and cute as can be. Makes me realize the benefit or having a 'narrow' size, they fit like a glove. Highly recommend.

Sandals fit like a glove. Very secure feel. Attractive. I have quite a few foot disorders and these felt great the first time. Very cushy soles.

Very comfortable shoes! The metallic straps are nice, they don't dig into your foot. The cork footbed molds to your foot and gives you a nice spring. These will be great for walking around on vacation and teaching!

These sandals are the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn. I have very narrow feet and ankles so strappy sandals with Velcro closures usually don't fit properly. But these fit perfectly. The Comfort Cradle footbed is truly comfortable and the straps do not cut into your skin. I can walk for hours in these, which I cannot say about most shoes, even sneakers.

These are my new favorite sandals! I've been wearing birks for almost 20 years because of some history of plantar fasciitis and my very high arch that needs extra support, but my orthopedist told me to get a softer-soled shoe. I was at a loss for where to even start when I saw an ad for these sandals and was glad to see that they come in wide widths. The pair I ordered fit perfectly right out of the box and they are so comfortable! I absolutely love the way they look too--way less "clunky" and even fashionable (gasp!) which thing I lost track of long ago, in my search for healthy feet. Though pricey, they don't cost as much as Birkenstock's and they seem to have the same level of quality so I'm expecting them to last a long time. I have to say, my doctor was right about the soft soles; I love the shock-absorbing feeling I get when I walk in them, and I can walk a lot farther before getting tired. Since I live on the West coast I can wear these sandals three seasons of the year, so I'm already picking out a second pair!

These are super cute. I have trouble finding cute shoes for my wide feet, but these just are perfect. Very comfy and very stylish.

I wanted to love them but returned them for 2 reasons. The primary was the review stating that the soles didn't last. The sole is thin, and I would be wearing these very frequently. I did not want to risk them wearing out on me. The other reason is that the stitching for the velcro on the upper strap poked through in one spot to the side that touches your skin and it was very sharp and stiff, like plastic. I might have been able to trim that, not sure. But because of the first issue, I decided to return them. I think they are cute, and the fit was perfect for my narrow feet. Also they felt like a cloud.

I'm used to wearing Finn Comfort and Munro sandals, but was unable to find the style I needed for a dress and white pants, so I tried the Walking Cradles Pool. I love the style, but the sandal is minimally comfortable even though it was the right size. It is trying to be a comfort shoe without the quality, not quite conforming to the soles of my feet. I passed and returned them.

I bought these for a vacation that required a lot of walking. Extremely comfortable and I liked the style. I got caught in the rain one night and within a few days the upper sole started to separate. Cork covering is paper thin. They didn’t last the whole trip but were comfortable while they lasted. $100 way too much for the quality. Will not repurchase

I bought this same shoe twice before. I have had plantar fasciitis and need support, especially in the heel. This style is very comfortable and I would buy it again. The one negative that I have is that the cork heel actually wears off and the shoe doesn't look nice after a few months.

I have been looking everywhere for comfortable walking sandals that actually don't look like comfortable walking sandals! And this is it!! They feel like they're molded to you feet, they're lightweight ... AND they are CUTE!! I wore them for the day in NYC yesterday, and they were wonderfully comfortable plus I felt very stylish and not at all frumpy. I would highly recommend this sandal! Oh ... one more thing ... I usually wear a 7 1/2 but had to go up to an 8. My heel was right at the edge on the 7 1/2 - so if you're between sizes, go up a half size. You will love them!!

The construction of this cute shoe is so shoddy that the shoe bed began separating from the cork after wearing them only twice! I had read an earlier review from several years ago, but I took a chance and ordered the shoes anyway because I hoped the issue had been resolved. Wish the manufacturer was a little more proactive with reported defects.

Ugh- I am so disappointed. I should have read the reviews about the quickly disintegrating soles; I have had these shoes for two weeks and they're already falling apart. I've worn them <10 times. They are very cute, and I received many compliments on them the first few times I wore them. But now they look years old after just two weeks.

nice that the straps were long enough for my wide, swollen feet.

BEAUTIFUL SANDAL. ORDERED IN MY USUAL SIZE 81/2 BUT IT WAS TOO LONG, MORE LIKE A SIZE 9.

The foot bed was very comfortable, but the straps were right around my bunion. They looked terrible on my foot. Otherwise they’re great sandals

Very, very comfortable. I have narrow feet so finding a shoe that fits and is comfortable is difficult. This one is great
