Needed a shoe to wear with dresses. Very hard to find a nice looking, sensible, comfortable pump in size 11 wide. These are pretty good -- the rounded toe is definitely a plus. They are fairly comfortable, but a bit long. Size 10-1/2 wide would work but very few shoe companies make this size.This shoe is just about perfect! I love the look, heel height, and overall fit. The only little thing? Could use just a bit of additional toe room. To me, it is the ideal pump---goes with everything and appropriate of all occasions!Great shoes! Comfortable yet classy looking. Their advertisement is spot on. Very pleased. Want to order one in eCh color."Walking Cradles Craft Pump in 12 WW is a well made and comfortable leather dress shoe. It has a soft pillow padded insole with a wide and tall toe box, a flexible sole, and a low 1 1/2 inch heel. There is not much arch support. I have purchased this same shoe in several colors: Tobacco, Navy, and Bronze. This shoe looks well with pants or dresses, and even had enough room for a Dr. Scholl's orthotic insole with a double foam insole on top. I have wide flat feet with the second toe being longer than the big toe. For me, the size of the toe box is critical. Normally in Walking Cradles brand sandals I wear an 11 W. The only issue I had was that the heel area seemed loose: an 11 1/2 WW would have been perfect. I used to wear the Hush Puppies Soft Style Angel II Dress Pump, but needed more support and stability as I get older. This style seems to have been discontinued, and I really wanted to get it in Black. I hope that this shoe style is brought back and kept as a Classic, such as SoftSpot's Stephanie pump."too smallI am extremely pleased with my purchase. The size is true to what I ordered. This shoe is very comfortable even standing on my feet as I do all day for my profession. The navy leather is soft and stylish. No bling but that is what I wanted for a classy work shoe. Overall very pleased with this purchase and will consider the same shoe in other colors. At the end of a long day on your feet; if your feet still feel good then that helped the day be a good one!These are a bit of a disappointment for me. The outside edge is to high and cuts into my foot. Also, I wanted to use metatarsal pads but the vamp of the shoe is so closed that there just isn't enough room.It's a beautifully made, comfortable office & every day shoe with a graceful profile. I chose it for these qualities as well as the near-black navy color to go with a dress I wanted to wear as a wedding guest. I'm tall and due to foot surgery, need to wear orthotics so I took a risk in ordering these.I don't recommend it for orthotics that may add space behind your heel.
