These are very comfortable flats.  Other flats I've tried do not come up far enough on the front of the foot and the edge of the leather would press against my bunion causing pain.  These shoes have a little more material on the forefoot and that makes them extremely comfortable.  This is my second pair of Walking Cradles shoes and they definitely do cradle your feet.  Very comfortable and very nice looking, too.  I ordered a half size smaller (after reading other reviews) and my usual wide width.  They are a perfect fit.
