I normally wear size 7 1/2. The size 7 Soul of Africa Ubisi fit me just right and they are very comfortable. If you like the way they look in the picture, you will really love the way they look on your feet.

Works for narrow feet, I have narrow feet and trouble finding sandals that fit. I'm glad that I took a chance and ordered these. They are very comfortable, the rubber sole is like a shock absorber on city sidewalks.

Clarks Ubisi. Comfortable sandals that will work with skirts or shorts. I normally wear a 9, but the 10 was just the right size in these shoes. Good arch support.

These shoes are styled the same as a pair that Clark's had a few years ago. I have two pairs of those shoes and have almost worn them out. These shoes are narrower and the leather somewhat different - stiffer. I found these shoes to be too small even though I ordered the same size as my old ones. If I could have purchased a 1/2 size larger these may have fit.

Love my Ubisi Sandals - Bought a brown pair before going on a cruise and wore them all the time. Loved the feel and fit so much that I ordered a black pair when I got home. The most comfortable sandal I own.

Additional Brand Information

An ancient Chinese proverb wisely states, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Thanks to an initiative established by Lance Clark, sixth generation of the family behind the footwear company of the same name, this proverb is being put into action by Soul of Africa to help South African villagers affected by AIDS to help themselves.

Working with communities in the informal settlements around Durban in KwaZulu Natal, where the AIDS infection is highest, Clark and a handful of leading South African business people in the footwear industry have since been sharing their shoemaking expertise to teach local villagers how to make this simple yet comfortable hand sewn product for the Soul of Africa line.

Soul of Africa shoes are made by hand using supple leather and quality materials to create footwear that is flexible, durable, and soft. Incredibly comfortable, Soul of Africa shoes are simple, sleek, and stylish as well!

For every pair of Soul of Africa shoes sold, Clarks will donate all profits to the care and support of South African children orphaned due to AIDS. Additionally, each pair sold helps to provide an ongoing livelihood for the individuals who stitch the shoes. Since 2004, Soul of Africa has raised well over $1,000,000 since its beginnings.

Cute and comfortable for a cause - I bought these in red because they're fun, yet comfortable, and some of the profits go to a good cause. Be forewarned that the leather upper takes a little bit of "breaking in" before they are truly comfortable and, until then, they feel a bit too narrow.

Nice shoe but it took a little while to soften and break in the leather straps. Overall comfortable and good for walking. I like also that it supports women working in Africa.
