Size and fit were what I expected. The photo of the product was misleading. I thought it was black and gray but it was black and bright shiny silver. A no-go for me. There is also so little differentiation in the descriptions of the various styles (how does Lisse vary from Rio from whatever?) that choosing was irrelevant. Only availability and color were relevant.

I have problem feet so my take on shoes is a tad skewed. Neuroma, OCT (surgeries), and more, but I can wear many Wolky styles, finding them pretty comfortable, at least for part of the day. Was hoping these Jewels would fit the same, but they were completely different. The mid and back foot areas were super wide, giving the sandal a clunky look that did not appeal at all. They were neither comfortable or flattering. Perhaps for others they're fine..

Fit is okay but slightly different than the style I’ve been wearing for the last 4 years. Wolky makes the most comfortable walking sandals. I thought the design would be gray and black but I was unpleasantly surprised by the SILVER and black. Can’t wear these. Very disappointed because I have been thinking about these for weeks.

I have the Wolky Desh and find them very comfortable. Was hoping the Jewel would be, too. Not to be. They're also very clunky looking, the midfoot in particular looks extremely wide. Most importantly, especially for those of us with problem feet, the footbed was a serious no go. It's rare to put on footware from the few well made shoe and sandal companies out there, like Wolky, to find them that "off." We all have different feet - with two ankle surgeries, on again off again neuromas, recovered planter tear and fasciitis, from one who needs some cushion and some cuteness in their shoes with a whole lot of comfort, they don't work.

I love Wolky shoes and have bought them for many years. This model has no lift in the heel and the insole in particularly hard. Not my favorite.

This is a very comfortable pair, except for the first top seem. It is very rough and cuts into toes. I can handle it on pretty event shoes, but this pair was planned as travel sandals. The shoe's leather is stiff, but it may be done for stability. The box label is "vegi leather cognac", though symbols for inside and outside materials are leather. I am usually wearing size 41. I got size 42 and it is just slightly bigger than perfect. I am estimating that my regular size will probably feel smaller than usual.

Wolky Jewel doesn't work for my foot. I have wide toes, and this shoe isn't wide enough at the toes. Hard to evaluate comfort because my little toe was so scrunched that I never stood up. For me the shoe hurts and is uncomfortable.

They are very cute. I had high hopes but there is a ridge running around the entire periphery. Thus i feel it and it is uncomfortable. The shoe needs a flat foot bed. Too bad. I've had perfect Wolky's in the past.

I bought the 43s as for a size 11 it was recommended. However, they were too big. The shoes are a bit on the clunky side to begin with, so too large killed them for me. Also, they were shinier than I thought they'd be and I didn't like that either.

I want bright red stylish shoes with lowish heels or wedge. The cute ones in my size (7.5 wide or ww, or 38) are sold out or uncomfortable. These are 38, but too short, clunky looking.

This shoe was beautiful and fit very well. For my small feet, I felt the shoe made my feet look really big. I think it was the large soles. I purchased the Wolky Agua and they are perfect! The 3 stars is only for style that didn't fit me.

I have very "challenging feet" due to their size (12), flatness, and pain and deformity from Rheumatoid Arthritis. This sandal is attractive and fits but is painful for me to wear. The sole is hard and solid with no feeling of cushioning. There is no arch support. I had hoped for something I could walk in. This sandal is not it. Walked a mile or so in these and my feet were killing me. I wish MBT's were still made. Unfortunately, I have to stick with Birkenstocks for now. Hoped for something a bit more stylish. Sad.

These shoes are comfortable but they're not well made. I'm on my third pair and, like the last two pairs, the bottom of the sole split all the way across...on both shoes. And now the foot bed lining of the left shoe is literally cracking and dissolving. If I'm going to spend this much on a pair of shoes, I expect them to wear better. These are going in the trash like the last two pairs.

Wanted to like these. They adjust absolutely everywhere, so that's great. And the colors are fun. If you're looking at this, then you already know they're not a sleek strappy sandal, so no need to tell you they're clunky. They look like I had an inner tube around my foot. But hey, I knew that up front. I usually wear a 39 or 40, so sized up to 41 as recommended. That made the length right. So, that's good advice - size up. But I just couldn't get the arch support to line up with mine. Probably a fault with my foot, rather than the shoe. I wore them around the house for about an hour (carpet only, of course), but never got that "yes!" feeling. They almost feel like a negative incline, but it doesn't look like they have that. Can't say why I felt that way. As I said, I wanted them to feel great, but they didn't to me.

The key to these is the straps. If you tighten them for a firm fit, they dig into your feet. The straps must be a bit looser. They don't flop around, they actually stay put nicely. The material is a but stiff and not so soft on the edges. They dig in a bit initially and need to be broken in slowly. I wear a 39 and needed a 40.

This is a darling shoe. Color is true to what I saw online. I'd read the reviews about this style 'rubbing the toe' so I went to a local store to try it on. (They did not carry yellow.) I told the salesperson that I wore a 9.5, US. He brought this shoe in a 40. Yep, rubbed my big toe. I asked for the next size up (there is only 16th of a inch difference between these sizes or USA half sizes). The next shoe also rubbed. I asked to try on the 42. Perfect! No rubbing and overall, my foot placement in the shoe was perfect. First time to wear these shoes, they were exquisitely comfy. I can only imagine that they will give me years of wear and the yellow just makes me smile.

I had to return the Wolky Jewels because they were more unattractive then I expected. Especially in my size (Euro size 44). However, for the few minutes that I wore the Wolky Jewels they were very comfortable and the overall product quality (materials, workmanship) seemed good.

The shoe is darling, but or people who need good arch support, and have slender feet, these are not the sandals for you. Even with the wonderful adjustments, they were still too loose (width) to fit my feet. I loved the style and colors, so I am so sad to return them once again to Zappos. I will have to go back to Finn or Earthies or arch support.

Wolky's are by far the most comfortable shoe and the Jewel is no exception. That said, I picked the ugliest color (see above).

I wanted to make these shoes work, but I could not. They would be dressy for a hipster librarian, but they were not dressy enough for my consultant job where I have to toggle back and forth between different dress codes and organizational cultures. They did not look particularly great with typical black work pants or skirts - cropped black pants came the closest, but they were still a little too chunky to be cool, and on me came off as a bit frumpy. Personally, I would rather go with fancy shoes and more relaxed clothes, and these just did not work. The Velcro closure on the toe was a bit scratchy, they would only go with a few things, so back they go. Thank you, Zappos, for being so incredibly patient with me on my endless search for the perfect black sandals.

I have bad feet & usually buy Keen. These were more stylish for the office & for the money I thought they'd be like walking on clouds - but my feet ache after wearing them all day even though I have a desk job. I'm going back to Keens.

At first when I tried it on I thought it would be great for my Hallus Rigidis condition. However after wearing them for a few hours in the house I discovered that the sole is so hard that it cut off my circulation. They created immense pain that still has not gone away after 2 days.
