J-41 Brooklyn SKU: #7809297

These shoes are even more adorable than I realized and they are comfortable beyond my wildest dreams! I listened to reviews that said they run small, so I ordered half a size larger. They are a tad loose in the heel, but the adjustable strap takes care of that, no problem.

Love these. I have a really narrow foot, so the velcro "buckle" is excellent. I can teach in them all day and still keep going. Excellent!

Super cushy and comfy inside, cute on the outside too! These ran small, so I need to get them stretched before I can properly endorse them. (I wear an 11 usually, and they never make a half-size above 10, else I would have just returned them.)

I usually like J-41 but these felt clunky and were not comfortable. I returned.

Super fit, super comfy, even a cushy insole. The heel fits my narrow heel; my slightly wider foot is most comfy, and length I take an 8.5 to 9 depending, so the 9 is perfect for me. The shoe distributes your weight sturdily, not tippy, and the heel seems to send the shock of every impact scattering by virtue of the heel shape and materials. Never had such an adorable and comfy shoe, ever, and am buying a second pair for back-up! The moss green is a beautiful moss olive with chocolate brown accents and a teensy bit of inner metallic gold peeping from the eyelet at the toes; very understated and subtle. Autumnal coloring, love the fit and comfort, and the mirror does too!

I love J-41, but for some reason these ones are not comfy at all. Tried different sizes-nothing helped. Returned twice.

I bought this shoe at DSW but first saw them online. I have a pair of J41 walking shoes which run a half size small. I am glad I stumbled upon these at DSW to try on. They are true to size. I wear 7.5 and they fit perfectly. The toe box is a bit short but the memory foam insole keeps your foot from sliding forward. I usually like a lot of room in the toe but find these shoes to be very comfy. A half size larger would be way too long in the heel. The fit is snug but comfy. Feet do not get sweaty at all. Shoe and heel is very stable. I've walked all day in the hospital and at a conference in these without pain or blisters and did not need a break in period at all. My foot is a solid medium width, although maybe on the narrow side of medium. The adjustable Velcro strap makes it easy to stay comfy in these shoes. I definitely like being able to loosen the strap at the end of the day.

This did not fit well like the other pairs I have from Jambu. They are really short, weird toe box fit, and the heel is too high and cuts into the heel. Returning them.

I bought these at DSW, but wanted to see what else this brand had to offer. I absolutely love them, and was shocked by how nicely they fit. Very comfortable, great support for a heel this size. The Velcro straps are secure and make a cute shoe. I have a narrow foot that is usually hard to fit in the heel, and most times the arch hits a bit too short on my size 10 feet. However, these are a perfect fit. Hurray!

Cute shoe but had to return it. Not long enough in length. My foot is between a medium and narrow width and I typically wear a 8.5 and sometimes a 8 in sandals. This is a short 8.5 and all my toes were touching and cramped in the front of the shoe. The heel was a little loose so I don't think going up a size would have worked for me.

I have wide flat feet and plantar fasciitis so it's very difficult for me to shop for shoes, difficult for anyone with similar problems to ever find shoes that are both comfortable and stylish. I don't like to wear sneakers with every outfit because they're too casual. These shoes look very cute and they inner footbed is very cushiony and comfortable. However, like most dressy-looking shoes, the soles are too hard and provide no shock absorption when walking. Also, for some reason, these shoes hurt my toes. There's enough room for the toes in the toebox but they somehow feel like they're being crushed as if someone were stepping on the toes of my shoes so that the whole front of my foot feels crushed and painful after a few minutes walking in these shoes. Another thing I found annoying is that the company, for some unknown reason, decided to add hot pink stitching to the black color shoes even though they didn't do contrast colored stitching on the other colors available. I had to use a permanent marker to color the stitching black so that the shoes matched all my clothing and not just the outfits containing hot pink. Ugh. These would be perfect shoes if they had black stitching and some kind of rubbery soles for shock absorption and if there were a bit more depth to the toes box to provide more vertical room for the toes to fit.

I am a big fan of Jambu, but after seeing the reviews (and the price) for the J-41's I decided to give them a whirl. I love the shoe, but will be returning them. I bought 2 pair, one in a style other than Brooklyn, which I love and will be wearing for many moons to come! Unfortunately the Brooklyn's were a major disappointment. The lining of the shoe was poorly constructed and actually poked out of the shoe! The shoe also hit my fit more narrowly than I anticipated. I will give them another shot by trying to go up a size and seeing if I can get a shoe that had better detailing. Very cute shoe, but was very disappointed by the poor workmanship on this pair.

Lovely shoe. Beautiful shade of deep mossy green with little coppery-bronzey lowlights in the cutouts. Right shoe fits fine but left shoe at least a size too large, and my right foot is the larger of the two. Too bad! These are regretfully going back.
