This sandal is very comfortable. I have a lot of difficulty finding comfortable shoes. I have a wide foot (9.5 EE) and a high instep, so having velcro straps that I can adjust allows me to fit the shoe to my foot. And I find the sandal attractive as well.

Following surgery on 3 toes, none of my shoes would fit my swollen foot. These work well with the velcro straps and will still fit me when my foot goes back to normal! These shoes are also very "cushy" and comfortable.

These were the perfect sandals to wear on my recent vacation. They were so very comfortable to wear while driving, walking, and relaxing. We were gone over a month, and I took along other shoes to wear, but ended up with these on most of the time. The velcro made them fit perfectly and the cloth footbed was super soft and "cushy." It was a last minute decision to order these, but they arrived super fast, and I am so glad I had them in time to take along on our trip!

As an MBT fan, I ordered these shoes just to have something different. I ordered my usual MBT size and the SoftWalk Bolivia fit perfectly and it is true to its name "SoftWalk" -- wonderfully comfortable! My arches don't require a great amount of support; however, some people might prefer more arch support than I do.

The wide width and two adjustable tabs fit the 9W feet with edema. I ordered 9 different styles and sizes but these are the ones I kept. Comfortable footbed too.

I have problem feet that can sometimes stop me from walking and I find these shoes exceedingly comfortable. Both straps are adjustable which means the shoe can be adjusted for your foot and size at any particular time of day. That keeps the shoe feeling good over a longer period of time.

I own two pairs of the SoftWalk Bolivia Sandals and I want to wear them all day because they are more comfortable than my sneakers. They are the best sandal ever!

Love these! Had foot surgery this summer and was looking for some comfortable support when I began teaching again. The velcro closure allows for the swelling after surgery. Looks good. Feels good.

I am enjoying these sandals. As I have mentioned before, I am a member of the big foot clan. I have been having some trouble with my feet and although I am dedicated to walking each day I ran into trouble. I guess this happens as we grow older. I needed to be able to adjust the straps, and am flat footed so cannot tolerate arches. I am enjoying them and I think they look nice, but I am not as big on fashion as I am on comfort.

I hate to be the spoiler in the group for I wanted these shoes so badly. They are really nice looking which is hard to find. But, the heel strap is too short and pushed my foot forward in the shoe. That made the top strap not fit. Then because my ankles stay swollen constantly, the top strap did not really meet the bottom strap.An adjustable heel strap would have been a great advantage. If you have large or swollen ankles,these shoes will be a big problem. The shoe is great but it is just not for my problem feet.

I buy Softwalk shoes because 1) they are comfortable and 2) they come in WW width.
I only have Softwalk shoes--no sandals, After wearing Propet sandals for the last 10 years, I decided to try a pair of Softwalk sandals. Just received the Bolivia today. I put them on and they seem to fit well and the insole is omfortable. I like the fact that 2 straps are ajustable. If they weren't, I would be unable to get my big wide foot into the sandal. I agree with another review that the heel strap should be adjustable as well. The only problem with this sandal is that the middle of my big toe rubs against the edge of the front strap of the sandal. It feels like it is digging into my toe. I'm not sure if this will ease with time as the leather gets softer. I may have to put moleskin on the edge of the strap or on my toe. Or, I might wear them around the house to see if they ease, and if they don't, I will return them and then order a pair of Propet sandals.

Nice styling for a "comfort" sandal. The silver trim is a nice touch of class and makes it dressier than most. My only issue was that the under edge of the front strap is a bit stiff and can be uncomfortable after wearing for a time. I solved it by using small piece of adhesive moleskin on the inner side of the strap. Otherwise, very comfy and good walking sandal.

Extremely comfortable. the only problem was the back sling...too wide, but I will take them to get shorter so they fit well.

Comfortable sandal. I have two pairs like and the velcro on both shoes does not hold after a lot of walking. It happens on the right side of both pair.

Very comfy and looked pretty good on my short and wide foot. Really want to love it, but know that eventually the "puff of air" thing on my left sandal will get to me. So back it goes. Hopefully they'll correct this sometime!

This sandal definitely ran 1\/2 size smaller in the length, width true to size. It is comfortable and nice looking but I needed to exchange the shoe to size up and was happy not to have to pay shipping on my return. I am new to buying shoes from Zappos and I must say am very impressed with the speed of delivery and excellent service.

The shoes were perfect in every way but one. If the heel strap had been adjustable as the other two straps were they would have been just right for me. Sorry I had to return them.

This shoe does run small. I normally wear a 9N, but ordered a 9.5N and my toes were at the end of the shoe.These are really cute shoes but I had to return them as they rubbed the top of my toes.

At first these felt light and wonderful on my feet, after an hour in the supermarket my big toes were hurting even though I loosened the front straps; and when I finally removed the shoes at home my left big toe was bleeding. Can not wear these without bandaids.

When I tried these on I thought they might be perfect for me, especially after reading all the previous reviews. However, I quickly saw that the heel strap is not adjustable. From the photo I though there was velcro to adjust it, but there is not. Instead there is a little fixed elastic insert. Since the heel strap was a tad too loose and I couldn't adjust it, I am returning them. Too bad, because otherwise I loved the fit and the cushioned footbed felt terrific.

Great sandal! Ordered it in sand tumbled nubuck and after I received it, immediately ordered in black! Only wish the back strap were adjustable - it does stretch so that helps! Foot slides forward some but I think there is an insert one can buy for that - I am picky about sandals and these suited me!

I love the great, neutral color, the cushiony softness for my foot and the adjustable straps! There's absolutely nothing for my little foot to complain about!

These are very adjustable and comfortable. I have a rather large bunion on one foot but none on the other so this shoe works extremely well. The footbed rebounds well with each step and is very resilient. I have enjoyed this shoe very much.
