Customer Reviews Jambu Dune

Love the shoe...don't love the bad that goes across the widest part of my foot. Sadly...returning.

I found the shoe very comfortable. I purchased them as a walking shoe for a trip to Ireland. There were a few disappointments. The design on the sole caused water to leak in, which was an issue for Ireland. They were not as soft under my foot as I would have liked.

I love these shoes, so comfortable right out of the box. I thought they ran a little small, I usually wear a 9.5 but had to return and order a 10. The only thing I don't like about them is that the insole is very sweaty and they make my feet feel slimy within a few minutes of wearing them. I'm hoping that changing the insole might help that problem.

I originally ordered the J-41 Dash off another site b/c it was much cheaper in price than the Jambu Dune. Big mistake! The J-41 Dash may look the same but the icky unbreathable insole and overall less quality feel to the shoe made the cheaper price so not worth it. It was also very rough inside on my toes. I like the Dune much better! It has a higher quality cushioned insole that is a bit more breathable and has some arch support to it. I had to order a 1/2 size up as when I ordered the Dash the toe box was squishing down on my big toe, if you order a little big your toes should have a decent amount of room but beware that the Dune also has this very low toe box and with the rubber bumper in front there is no chance of it stretching out with break-in. I haven't had a chance to wear them out yet, but I am hopeful that they will be good commuter shoes and for running errands and such on the weekend. I think that they may also pass for a casual day at work. If you are thinking about this shoe, definitely go for the more expensive Jambu and not the J-41 Dash model, they may look the same but definitely do not feel the same!

As another reviewer said, they're a little short. I returned for 1/2 size larger and am happy with the fit. Jambu's quality control isn't what it should be for a shoe at this price: the stitching in the left heel was in the wrong place (didn't match the right shoe and rubbed my heel!). The shoes were otherwise very comfy, so I kept them and had my shoe repair shop re-stitch it. It's fine now; but Jambu needs to do better to deserve this much of my hard-earned money!

Runs small - needed half a size larger for barefoot, whole size larger for orthotics, which fit nicely. Insole is very cushiony and has nice impact absorption.

The support in these shoes is very comfortable, however, the toe box is a little too flat for what I like. I thought there would be a little more toe room.

FINALLY - A shoe I saw on someone else and asked her what it was. She said (and she was right) they were comfortable right from the beginning. I love the way these look with jeans or a skirt. The only problem I had is that a half ped would show and the insole pulls up every time I take them off. I am going to get it glued and Zappos has graciously offered to reimburse me! Zappos is the best-old fashioned service with great return policy.

Cute shoe but... I love the look of this shoe and after reading all the reviews, I couldn't wait to order a pair. I was surprised by how stiff the leather is and there are seams on the inside edges of the shoe that are rough and rub my foot. Also, the insole pulled out when I wore them without socks. That said I will give them a break in period in the hopes they will feel more comfortable because they are an extremely fun looking shoe.

Love the look - I love the look of these shoes- casual and a little dressier than my Keens. They are not as comfortable as I had hoped, though. I have gotten blisters on my heels and inside of my foot from the not-so-soft leather. I am going to stick it out, and hope that when they are worn in, that they will be more comfortable...

Great Walking Shoe - These shoes have great arch support. I have a high arch, and this sometimes can be an issue. They were comfortable from the second I put them on until the end of a long day on my feet. I have received numerous comments on the look of the shoe.

Fun shoes - Love the look and feel of this shoe, everyone loves them and wants a pair. The only problem is the insole, it feels squishy and comfy, but I ruined it after just one wearing because it bunched up and split open in the first 3 hours I wore it without socks. I had to repair it and it is still not right - might have to replace the insole.

Love this shoe and have been getting tons of compliments on them, but little straps are more delicate than they appear. Had to return 1st pair when the strap broke, but Zappos was great about getting me another pair immediately!

Pretty good shoes - This is a very practical sandal for people who have sensitive feet and don't like to expose their toes to bumps and bruises. The sole gives good traction and the maps of the Berkshires that are imprinted on the bottoms of the soles will certainly come in handy if I ever find myself lost in Lenox. The only somewhat negative comments I might have are that they are a little too wide and could use a little more arch support.

Cute summer shoes - I decided back in December that these were the shoes I had to have for this summer! I planned to hike all over Colorado, New Hampshire, Vermont and NY in them. I finally got them for my March birthday and they are as cute as I expected. I ordered half size large and they fit fine. The only problem I have with them is the heel. The small strap that up vertically in the center of the back connects to the top strap with a loop that causes a bulge in the upper heel area that becomes irritating after a short time. Since they are leather I believe the upper strap can be stretched to alleviate this problem. I am keeping the shoes and hoping I can live my dream of wearing them all summer in my travels.

Rabbit - I fell in love with this shoe in a magazine and knew I had to have them and of course I turned to Zappos. I am a faithful Keen wearer and have always liked that I can pull a new Keen shoe out of the box and wear, without any breaking in time. These shoes weren't so. I got blisters in several areas on my feet, since I wasn't, nor will ever wear socks with them. A seam on the back had a little piece of thread/leather that dug into my heel causing a cut. I have found that until I break them in, they just aren't my walk around town shoes - YET. I like that they are a little bit dressier than my typical Keen selection. I still love them and am giving them time to break in.

Love these, but they run big!

I am a big fan of Keen's and these shoes are very similar but "appear" narrower on the feet, but they are not narrow. I usually wear a 91/2 but needed a 10 in these shoes.

I love the look of these on, but I found them to be a half size too big. They rubbed me a bit wrong but I think with a half size smaller they will be great!

Should have listened to my initial feeling after reading reviews. Returning as they are too short in addition to causing my foot to sweat within minutes of putting them on, hadn't even got the buckle buckled! Cute design but don't feel this is the shoe for me.

I love the look of these Jambu's so went ahead and ordered a pair. I received them and found they make my feet hot. I had to hurry and get them off and back into my regular sandals to cool my feet down. They don't seem as that comfortable to me either. But I'm keeping them as I've worn them already. I was a little disappointed because I really wanted to like them.

A year ago, I bought Jambu Cherry. I hoped that Dune might be as comfortable as the Cherry but I'm sadly disappointed. The Dune rubs in way too many places--they're heading back today!

I am not usually a comfort shoe wearer but I have to now because of my back. I also have narrow feet and a lot of the comfort brands look like boats on my feet. I bought these because they seemed like they would be more narrow and work with my non-comfort wardrobe. In person, they are not super attractive. I returned them and bought the Shoreline instead. Also, they seem a little short for their size so I bought a half size up even with my narrow foot.

These are so cute in the picture but not so cute on my feet. They're super comfy but just weird looking on. I loved the arch support so maybe I'll just have to try another style by Jambu.
