Thank you for the superb service. Your representative could not have been more helpful. Love my new hiking shoes I ordered and will be taking them to Asia later this year. I have already told others about your service and I hope they have an opportunity to enjoy the wow factor.

I love these sandals! I bought them for getting in and out of the water with the boat. But these are so comfortable, they support your feet and absorb the shock. I recently wore them for a fundraiser and I was on my feet for 8 hours. My feet and legs were not sore at all. I am ordering another pair.

I bought these because I have to wear shoes with good support in the pool. These did not disappoint. These are comfortable, the velcro straps allow me to make sure the shoes are tight on my feet, and they dry quickly. Also, the treads on the bottom give good traction on wet surfaces. These are also comfortable to wear as casual sandals.

I had to order a different size and Zappos was extremely efficient and shipped the new size right away to me. Very good service.

Nice sandal for the price. This athletic sandal has better quality than other brands that are more expensive. Unfortunately this style doesn't suite my feet, so I have to return them. I liked the colors. The straps are not very adjustable. I have narrow feet and the sandal was too big. They have no half sizes, I ordered half size up and it was too big. The back strap is not adjustable at all and it was way too large. I have to return them. I wish it would fit.

Love the fit and comfort level, great for walking, my feet felt fabulous. Unfortunately, the buckle on the top strap by toes broke for no apparent reason. I am returning for another pair as I love them and am hoping the buckle on my first pair was defective. So 5 stars for comfort but 3 since they broke. They felt nice and loose, and I sometimes have to go a half size up, so I marked them as a bit larger than marked.

Very comfortable and stylish. However, today (after maybe 5 wearings) I noticed the seam at the heel had ripped apart. Not just on one, but both! I guess I can try to sew them but it should not have happened. Disappointing since I ordered a pair in the other color too. Hopefully it won't happen to that pair as well.

Do not waste your money on these shoes! Worst shoe ever! Got huge blisters, made the rest of my vacation painful. Threw these out, not even worth giving away. Would like to give it zero stars all the way around.

I did not know that any sandal could be this comfortable. I am not quite used to the "look" yet, but my feel love the feel.

I am a huge fan of this style of sandal and this Kamik version is a less expensive alternative to the Nike Acg sandals. I got these and right away wore then for 10 days in Mexico. They are extremely comfy and lightweight. The little seam behind the pull tab came undone but I sewed it up with a few stitches and I suspect these will last me a good 3-4 years.

These shoes are nice but have a narrow toe box. The craftsmanship was good and the shoe was stiff and rigid. I liked the style and loved the look. Unfortunately, the toe box was narrow and tapered at the toe. This caused me some pain in the big toe. For comparison, I tried the R133Ls in the same size and did not have this problem.

Great cycling shoe. Comfy and secure straps, solid platform. The toe box is perfect for normal-wider feet. Probably the last cycling shoe I will buy.

I took them out for a spin. Good comfort and ease on and off. I like the rachet that tightens the shoe on your feet.

I bought these to replace my 15 year old Sidis that would not take the current SPD-SL cleats. I wear a 11½E running shoe and the size 47 fits with just enough width in the toe box. The strap across the top of the ankle is a little higher than the Sidi, but is not uncomfortable, and really locks my foot in on climbs and sprints. The only gripe I have is that the material around the edge is not as soft as my Sidis, but with socks on it is not an issue. I have ridden about 300 miles in them so far with no hot spots or other discomforts. I would recommend this shoe to any road cyclist with a limited budget.
