I ordered an 8N (my usual size) and a 7.5N since the reviews said the shoes ran large. There was NO DIFFERENCE between the 7.5 and the 8. I measured them to confirm the way they felt. The narrows were too wide. They were acceptable only after I put innersoles in the 8N. I was desperate for narrow comfortable shoes I could wear with slacks and jeans. The innersoles came from my Clark's boat shoes which were as comfortable as slippers but are worn out. Unfortunately Clark's no longer makes them in narrow. Sperry has allegedly narrow boat shoes but they are WAY too wide for my feet. The only consistently narrow shoes I have found are Munro's.

I usually take a 6.5 in shoes and on the rare occasion a size 6. Based on the other reviews I ordered this shoe in a 6 medium width (B). The shoe is huge on me. I'm surprised at how off the size is from what I normally wear. This is my first try at a SoftWalk shoe and I am wondering if all their styles run large. Anyway I was able to find a size 5.5 on Amazon. :) I hope it works out as this shoe appears to be really nice. So when ordering this shoe I would suggest ordering 2 pairs - a half size and a full size smaller than what you normally wear.

I had to return this shoe because it was way too big and I ordered my regular size. I would get a half size smaller.

I bought this as a replacement for a pair of Tom's that were similar in style. I love Tom's but couldn't find a style that was similar to what I had. These Softwalk shoes were what I had been looking for. They fit well right out of the box and look very much like the Tom's pair that I originally had. I wear a size 8, generally a medium, unless it's a narrow shoe, and these are what I bought in this brand. Great shoe.

I ordered a 9N and a 8.5N. The 9N was much too big. The 8.5 fit fine, but I had to replace the insoles. The sole of the shoe itself is very stiff and needs a lot of "break-in." The color is a great-looking tan that will go with any Fall outfit. Also, if you buy this shoe, be sure you spray some type of weather protectant. These shoes ARE leather, and they will stretch.

I have bunions on both feet and stand 8 hours a day in my feet as a hair dresser. Comfort and style are a must. LOVE THESE SHOES. Ordered 7.5 W and had to return for a smaller size (I should of listened to reviews) ORDER 1/2 SIZE SMALLER in wide sizes at least. Say cheese , Stan ?

For reference, my perfect sneaker is a men's double wide brooks. Wide feet that are still too wide for traditionally "wide" shoes, that's where I fit. These actually are pretty cute in person, I would keep if they fit better. Could get them on, but across the top of my foot was very tight, without a sock, the leather may stretch, but I'm not willing to take the risk at this price. Support isn't great, I wouldn't buy these to be the most comfortable in the world, but they aren't the worst either.

This is a beautiful shoe. Like a boat shoe. Vary casual and classy. Decided I wouldn't be wearing this winter much so went with Propet for around the house. I will defiantly look at this company's products when COVID is over and I going out more often.

The fit and the look were good, but they had very little arch support and the feel is flat. I couldn't imagine wearing them all day at work.

Little arch support, not something I would buy for any amount of walking, not a lot of comfort and support or cushion in the sole. They are ok looking.

I am hoping to wear these shoes on a vacation where I will be doing lots of walking. I have worn them at home for a few days without any issues. Today I walked a 3-mile paved path, up and down hills. Hooray! A shoe fit for my hard to fit feet. I have bunions, high arches that result in pronation without adequate support, need a wide toe box and a snug heel. I ordered a wide size seven. I am very happy!

I've been searching for a replacement for a well-loved and worn out pair of Tevas that they don't make anymore (Teva Willow Slip-on). I think these are the winners! I usually need wide shoes, but the regular width in these are perfect. The leather is super comfortable. I might use another insert with more arch support, but that's easy enough. Yay!

After reading the reviews, I was confused about whether to order my normal size or try a half size down. I ordered both, and they fit exactly the same, which was the experience of another reviewer. BTW they were ordered in two colors.

I own three pairs of this style: pewter leather, saddle snake and black leather. The two leather styles were soft and comfortable right out of the box. The saddle snake softened up after the first wearing. I have a wide foot - usual size 9W - and I don't keep any shoes that are the least bit uncomfortable. And, I don't have a big fat heel, so I would say, for the person who was asking, that the back of the shoe is a normal width and not too big. These have been great when it's either too cool for sandals or not cold enough yet for boots (or when I haven't painted my toenails!). The light souls can get a little dirty, but they are very easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth.

When I very first put these on they rubbed against my heel, but with minor adjustments in foot position that feeling went away. Glad to have a neutral shoe in quality leather in a half size and wide. That combination is hard to find!

I love the style, the color. It's perfect to add some style to my regular mom outfit. But unfortunately, it kept cutting in my heels. I have to keep wearing it with a bandaid on because even socks aren't helping.

I have now bought 3 pairs of these shoes in black, taupe and camel because they are so comfortable. I do have a slightly wider foot and these feel amazing. Hoping for a brushed gold color in the future.

I have a wider foot and these shoes feel amazing. Length is true to size. I've already bought 2 colors and plan on getting more.

At first these felt long, but as I wore them (all day long as I'm a support service provider in several elementary schools), I wouldn't have wanted a smaller size. They are comfy soft, and the arch support is fine.

I was pleased with the shoe's fit and comfort, only because buying shoes onlline has not always worked out well for me. I love the style with the white trim. They are great for wearing with almost any outfit. Comfort rules too!
