Great Shoe! This was my first online purchase of a pair of shoes, and it may be the best pair I’ve ever had! These are super comfortable and cushy, yet still dressy enough to look great. There’s enough of a heel to give height but I could still walk in them all day long. The strap helped to give a snug fit, and the flower is cute (but not too little-girly). The round toe helps to avoid squished toes, but it doesn’t look too clunky. I got the Aubergine suede (my first “red” shoe), but I just may have to get another pair in a different color. Highly recommended!
I love this shoe! I love shoes in general, but I LOVE THIS SHOE! I have narrow feet, very hard to fit, AA up front, AAA in the heel. I am just thrilled that this adorable shoe fits. I don’t believe in “breaking shoes in,” I believe they should fit and be comfortable right out of the box, and this shoe does just that. I got them yesterday, am wearing them today, and may never take them off. They’re well made. The heel is a perfect height, as it looks higher than it feels. I got the aubergine, and it’s really a great fun go-with all. I’ll be looking for more Sofft shoes in my size!
A heel I can wear - This shoe is very cute. The only difficulty is it seems thin at the ball of my foot. I think if I put a gel pad in that area I’ll be able to wear it for hours. It did not bind anywhere and I felt it had a good arch support.
CUTE AND SUPER COMFY!! I ended up purchasing this shoe in three colors. It’s very stylish with jeans or dresses, and I can literally wear them for 8 - 10 hours straight. I’m a hairdresser, so I’m standing up all day long, but I refuse to go the earthy shoe/ clog/ fugly shoe route. I also love that they come in several widths, since I need the narrow for my heels. My mom has wide feet, and liked that they can also accommodate her tootsies as well. I have received at least three compliments a day every time I wear them. People can’t believe how Sofft they really are, and I could dance to a little Calpyso even after doing hair all day!
Black suede calypso - The shoes are gorgeous, light, and comfortable enough to wear all day. If you have a wide foot or are not used to wearing heels these are a great place to start. I found the shoe ran small, however, so order a size up from what you would normally order.
Oh how I wish they would fit! I LOVE the look of these shoes. Unfortunately, after sending back the 7.5 because they were too small, and waiting a month for the 8 to come back in stock, I have found that they are TOO BIG! My heel slips out of the back. They are perfect in the front for my wide “Mommy” foot and SOOOO CUTE! I am trying all I can to make them fit! Thank you Zappos for your excellent, stress-free service and return policy! You rock! One of these I WILL find a shoe that fits!
Sofft Calypso - I have nothing but good things to say for this style. The brand is so comfortable and I was pleasantly surprised that the Calypso follows suit. The style is very flattering. I’ve only worn them a couple of times so far, but both times have received multiple compliments! Bravo Sofft for providing a flattering AND comfortable shoe.
Debbie’s favorite! This is the most comfortable, well fit shoe I have ever worn. Really!!!! I wore it to a wedding right out of the box and would have sworn they were my favorite pair of sneakers! I’ll certainly look at this brand when needing or wanting new shoes.
I saw this shoe in a catalog and really liked the style, and I had heard that Sofft shoes were comfortable. Shopping at Zappos.com was easy, and the product arrived promptly. The shoes were true to size and very comfortable. Also, they were true to the picture. I am very pleased.
Really cute but a little small - I usually stay away from brands with European sizing because the European equivalent to a woman’s size 12 seems to run small, more like an 11.5. The footbed is padded well and very soft and if the shoes were a little bigger they would be very comfortable. The heel is very stable as well. They are really cute too. Dressy enough for skirts at the office.
Great looking shoe… I bought the Calypso to wear to my son’s upcoming wedding in December. I got the black suede in a 9M. It goes great with my outfit. The shoe seems true to size and is really comfortable for a heel. It is prettier than the photos show. I own a pair of Sofft sandals and really like this brand for comfort and style.
Cute shoe! I had never bought a Sofft Shoe before and I had high expectations. I like the height of the heel and the look of the shoe. I was surprised that the shoe is really not that soft. The insole is thick and seems cushy to the touch but halfway through the day my feet hurt. I am hoping once they get broken in they soften up!
Great shoe, versatile look - Comfortable for a high heeled shoe. Cute with jeans or with a dress. I wore them shopping and my feet were sore which would be expected, maybe not ideal for walking for hours, but they have certainly been great for work where I sit more.
It fit perfect out of the box. It is so cute and not too high. It is well built too with quality details. My only problem is my right foot fits a bit different than the left, so at the end of an 8 hr day, my right foot hurt at the ball but not my left? More than likely due to my high arches and not the shoe. I would love to have every color!
Beautiful and comfortable - I’m tired of having to choose between comfort and beauty! This shoe fits well, feels good, and looks lovely. The toes are neither too rounded nor too pointy, the heel is a “walkable” height, the strap sits in just the right place, and the flower makes the shoe fun. Pretty & Comfortable…hard to find!! This is a surprisingly pretty shoe with great comfort. Nicely padded inside, nearly perfect heel height. The suede is beautiful. Much prettier on than I thought it would be.
Love this shoe! This shoe is the perfect mix of comfort and style. The heel is not too high for walking distances, but is high enough to be dressy with skirts, suits and pants. It is a great shoe for work and goes on to dressier occasions after work. Sofft is a well made shoe - inside and out.
Stylish Comfort - This is a comfortable stylish shoe in the Mary Jane style. Sofft has stayed true to their reputation of producing a high quality, stylish shoe that just happens to be very comfortable.
Buy these shoes… I was worried that the sizing was not true when I first put the shoes on. But I wore them around the house and the foot bed started to settle around my foot. I wore them all day at work (where I walk constantly) and they were terrific! They have a great arch support and cushioning on the ball of the foot. These shoes are well worth the investment.
I am 24 and it is hard to find cute closed toed shoes for winter time in an 11w, without them looking grandma style. I like the rounded toe shape so this shoe caught my attention. This shoe was true to size, the first time wearing them they were a little snug around the toes but it didn’t take long to break them in. The next day I put them on and they were in sync with my foot, very comfortable and I have never felt such soft padding before in the footbed of a shoe. Awesome shoe, you can wear them with anything, jeans, gaucho pants, dress pants, skirts anything! GREAT SHOE!
Hot, fun Calypso Sofft shoes - I loved them when I first saw them. They fit pretty true to size and are extremely comfortable. They are perfect for nice pants and a casual dress. I am able to do a fair amount of walking when wearing them. They are highly recommended.
My fancy work shoes - I love my new Sofft Calypso shoes. I work in a restaurant and I am on my feet for about 10 hrs a day on average and they are really starting to break in. My feet hurt a little the first few days but they are great now.
was hoping for a softer leather and more flexible shoe. I am assuming that when they call it Sofft, it’s because of the inside of the shoe or perhaps a person’s name. The shoe is also quite narrow for a 6 Wide. I am glad I purchased the wide shoe, because the medium would have been too narrow. Over all I am not that impressed with the shoe.
I just bought two pairs of Calypsos…one in black and one in brownwood. Oddly, the brownwood ones are narrower than the black ones, but they are still incredibly comfortable (or will be when they stretch a bit) and really stylish.
Fabulous! At first I was hesitant to purchase the shoe because I had foot surgery on a bunion…needless to say; this is the MOST comfortable shoe for my foot!!! The height is perfect. The insole is just to die for (I work 9+ hours) especially with all the walking I do!! Plus, I got A LOT of compliments on the shoe, especially from my customers!!!!
Went a half size larger - Size 9 1/2 wide was too small, so I went up to a 10 wide which felt good. The arch support is fine and they are soft inside. I wore them with stockings for a whole day and found I tended to slip around in the heel. I will get heel pads for this. They look cute and tend to make your feet look smaller.
I absolutely LOVE this shoe!!! It’s the most comfortable dress shoe I think I’ve ever worn. It’s also the most expensive I’ve ever purchased but the comfort is worth every penny. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on the shoe too!
Feminine, stylin’ and comfortable - I love this shoe and bought it again in another color. I have 12M feet and it looks great, very feminine and stylish. It has great arch support and the cut outs hit in the correct place. It stays on well for walking. I have worn it to occasions where I stood for three hours at a time. My feet felt really good considering I was standing for so long. I bought the suede versions of the shoe.
Like walking on a cloud!!!! Oh my gosh! I spotted these really cute shoes at “Back to School” night at my son’s school on one of his teacher’s feet. She said she got them at Zappos, of which I’d never ordered from. So I asked her about comfort and size (two VERY important questions for me). I quickly went home that night, and excitedly found them in size 11 in many color choices!!! I awaited my delivery. The day I received them, I tore open the wrapping, and (with blisters on my feet from the really cute, extremely uncomfortable shoes I’d worn that day) I slid the shoes on… and it was like a dream come true!! These shoes fit perfectly, had “pillows” for me to slide my feet onto. I had finally done it! Ordered from Zappos, found cute size 11’s, and ended up with shoes that feel like I’m walking on air. I’m in real estate, and on my feet ALL DAY. My feet don’t hurt; no blisters! I’ll definitely be buying a pair in every color. I HIGHLY recommend these adorable shoes!
