I can't seem to break these sandals in: first wear gave me such a bad blister that I couldn't look at them for 3 weeks; the footbed makes a funny air puff sound every time I take a step. There's just something abrasive and harsh about the straps, leather is thick and cut sharply. They look really cute and I wish this sandal was more comfortable.

I liked the look of this shoe, but had some reservations as to whether or not the buckles would make it uncomfortable, but they're not a problem at all. The interior of this shoe is very soft and comfortable, including the foot bed. I've worn them all day long on several occasions without any discomfort. I would recommend them.

These are very comfortable - softer than I expected. I can also put them on w/o unbuckling since there's some stretch. Great buy.

I chose to order from Zappos.com because of the return policy. I have worn Bass sandals for years, though not the style I ordered, so I was relatively confident about the sizing, and the fit was perfect. Because of the return policy, I will likely order merchandise from Zappos in the future. Thank you, Zappos!

These are very cute comfortable sandals. They are minimalistic and the soles are padded which makes for comfortable walking.

These are the perfect summer sandals! They are very comfortable from the first time I put them on. The leather and the insole are very soft. I love the buckles so I can adjust the fit because I have narrow feet. Would definitely order again!

The shoe looks good, but I found it to be quite uncomfortable (except for the soft footbed). The leather is stiff and scratchy, and the buckles are not as "friendly" as other shoes I've had. Also, I've always had a very wide foot, but this WW is a little narrower than other brands (e.g.,Trotters or Soft Spots).

Overall, I like these sandals. The leather is a little stiff, but for the money I didn't expect top grade leather. I'm sure they will soften up with wear. The sole is nicely cushioned and comfortable. I have a very, very wide foot and the only problem I have had is that my pinky toe tends to stick out a little bit between the straps. I love the looks of these sandals though and I don't think it will be much of a problem for short walks.

These shoes are really comfortable and nice. I love them, but big complaint about - they make hissing noise. It's kind of embarrassing when people try to figure out where the sound is coming from.

These were comfortable when I immediately walked two miles in them right out of the box! The Cinnamon color is great, darker than red, lighter than burgundy. They are not sexy shoes, but they are cute and stylish in a low-key, old lady sort of way. They do make an air-releasing sound when you walk on them that is audible in quiet places (maybe this goes away?), but that is not a big deal to me. My feet are narrowish with some narrows being too tight around my toes while some are not, but these shoes in 7½ (my normal size) N are perfect. I have to use the tightest hole to buckle across my toes even with the narrows. So if your feet are a little narrow (or quite narrow), I recommend the N. They provide really great comfort and style, especially for the price! I want to order the black too. And kudos to Zappos as usual. I ordered in the evening and still got my shoes the next day with free standard shipping

I like these sandals. They are casual, but a little nicer than tennis shoes or flip flops. Only one problem: the right shoe makes a hissing sound when I step. Weird!

Bought these to wear as backup sandals in Italy. My tennies gave me a bruise under my bunion on my left foot the very first day walking in Rome! Couldn't get in my #1 sandals at all! Ended up only wearing these the entire 15 days traipsing around Italy and that's a lot of walking! They saved my honeymoon! Getting ready to get two more pair - in black and tan!

I bought these two years ago, but didn't wear them too much because my legs got tired when wearing them due to lack of support. They are comfortable, just no arch support. Anyway, took a mile and a half walk in them the other day and came home and my feet were black from the straps. Then the next day, I was wearing them in the back yard, and the strap just snapped in half. They are now in the trash. There was no way to repair them. Even though they were two years old, I only wore them probably a total of 20 times or less before they busted.

Bass Joanne is a fabulous shoe. Finally, a sandal that looks good and is comfortable to walk in. I've been looking for these since my last pair wore out in the '80s. Because these are so great, I ordered 4 pair. Unfortunately, 5 out of the 8 shoes made that whooshing sound that other people complained about. So, I sent 3 pair back, but I still have the one. Thinking I might have to order 12 more pair to find 3 more without the whooshing sound.

I love the look of this shoe, but after wearing it for many hours, it's just not comfortable! The front strap is close enough to the toes so it slips off easily; the pad is nice but makes a "woosh" sound when you step on it. Having to be careful about how to step and not knocking off the toes straps is annoying.

I prefer inaudible shoes in general. These are just a bit too noisy for my tastes. Although these sandals look exactly as they do on the website, and they fit wonderfully, I am returning them. The nicely padded footbed traps a tiny bit of air, and you can hear it when you walk. If you don't mind a constant pssht pssht pssht with every step you take, go ahead and give them a shot! I got these in the Cinnamon color, a good, not too flashy dark-ish red. My feet are kind of in between regular and wide. Sometimes regular shoes are too narrow, but wide shoes are generally too wide. Given my past history with sandals, I figured I'd better go with wide. I did, and they were perfect. So if your feet push the boundaries of 'W', you might want to go that route.

The sole and foot bed of this sandal is narrow. My little toe hung completely off the side. Plus anyone ordering the WW width probably has a thicker ankle as well. The ankle strap is short.

These sandals are very comfy and a lot less pricey than the usual comfort shoe. I always wore them when I was young and am just as happy with them now that I am almost 60.

Very comfortable sandals. One did "whoosh" when I put weight on it, but that was fixed with a little dab of glue where the strap met the base. Love the adjustability of both the ankle strap and the toes--means that the regular width fit well on my often-wide toes and my skinny ankles.

I love these sandals, I had them in white first and waited for Zappos to get the black in stock and they did and notified me via email and I'm very glad.

2nd review...Loved my black Joannes -- for a slightly narrow and flatter foot that hates closed shoes but needs secure fastening...so bought Joannes in tan suede. Wear one or the other every day, evenings out, also. Walked all over Europe cities and hills in them, for 3 years now. Soft and padded...love the comfort. Ordering pair in white now. Zappos great, too.

These are really comfortable and cute. I got the red cinnamon color. They are so padded, it feels like you are walking on pillows. My only complaint is that the leather is a bit cheap and scratches really easily.

Very cute when on, but the cushioned soles make a loud wooshing noise with every step that prevents one going into a quiet room without attracting attention.
