The bottoms are not as comfy as I originally thought from the picture, but it is not bad. I wore them around the house for a while and they didn't bother my feet...then wore them outside after deciding to keep them and they've started to rub 2 places on my feet raw.

I purchased these sandals for a cruise with family thinking they would not look too clunky & I could walk a lot in them. They were reasonably comfortable, but for serious walking (laps around the ship) I still wore NB Walkers with personal orthotics. The sandals were perfect for just wandering around at the slow pace of the rest of the herd. The "hook & loop " closures are great, now that I know what that means. You can also adjust them if you decide to wear you Soul Mate socks with them!

I really liked wearing this shoe last summer. I probably wore it every day for a month. Then this summer I pulled it out with my other summer shoes and began wearing them and the velcro would not stick. That made me very unhappy, especially since I have to mail order all my shoes. I was getting ready to go to the beach and I ordered a pair to wear while there but they did not come in time for me to take them. I called customer service and they offered to ship them to my beach address and she said I should send back my Bolivia and they will replace them. I am sending them back on Wednesday. Thank you SoftWalk for tremendous service!

Expected maximum comfort, but didn\'t get it. My feet slip toward the toe due to the wedge. There is no support at the arch to prevent the foot from falling forward. Very disappointed.

I wanted to like these. I expected to like these. After all, they\'ve gotten astonishingly good reviews.\r\n\r\nBut I didn\'t like them.\r\n\r\nI bought them to wear on a vacation to Mexico. They are wide enough, for sure, and I have very wide feet, so that was good. And the sole is very cushioned and soft. But sadly, no matter what I did in terms of adjustment, my feet always slipped forward. Every time I wore them I felt as if I was clutching the shoe with my toes trying to keep from sliding out? It was uncomfortable.\r\n\r\nWhen packing for our return, we found we had bought too much and everything was not going to fit in our bags. Without a pang, I left these shoes in Mexico to help make room.\r\n

These looked like they would be ideal, but there is a design flaw. The back strap that goes around the heel is at least a half inch forward of the back of the shoe. This pushes the foot way forward. So much so that my toes hang over the end in the size that I normally wear, but there is a big gap in the back of the shoe that my foot cannot slide into because it is pushed so far forward by the heel strap. And the heel strap is not adjustable. The footbed is very soft, but if the big toe is hanging off, it is resting on hard rubber.

This shoe was wide enough (WW) but the back strap is only adjustable by the stretch elastic insert (stretch very small). As a result, my foot was pushed forward in the shoe which created a bad fit.

. These shoes are very comfortable. I have worn them twice for extended periods and a few times for a couple of hours. The heel is a little higher than I expected; I thought with the thickness of the sole it would be more flat. Overall. I like the shoes. The velcro strap doesn't bother my toes as some do! When will they bring back straps with buckles? They are much more comfortable!

I ordered both the 7 and 7.5 and the 7 fit better-even though I thought it was too small, when compared to the 7.5,it was the correct fit. I purchased in wide, felt wonderful right out of the box, and may be purchasing more. Even thought I'm older, I still like cute shoes, and these are not them, but I don't care. I walked (literally) miles each day in these on a vacation and there were absolutely no pain. I have bunions, plantar faciitis, neuropathy and high arches, and I recommend these sandals.

I love these shoes. They fit well and are very comfortable. Since I have very narrow feet, I always look for sandals that have adjustable straps. Zappos has a very good selection of shoes that I can wear.

Great fit, comfort, and style! Thank you, Zappos, for offering attractive, comfortable, quality shoes in hard-to-find sizes. Your patience and policies encouraged me to keep trying to find shoes that felt good, gave me the support I needed (not just in walking but standing) and also had style. May God continue to bless your good company and service.

These were comfortable right out of the box for me, although I thought it ran a little small. I'm between a 6 and a 7, ordered a 7, thought it was too small, ordered a 7 1/2 and that was way too big. I'm taking a vacation with a lot of walking and am using these the week before, so far so good.

OH MY GOODNESS - Fit is perfect for my wide feet and they are comfy...I usually take shoes and sandals off the minute I get home...today, I put these on, went to dog park and played, then returned an hour ago and they are STILL ON MY FEET. Love them!!! True to size and comfy.

The fit is great, very comfortable. Happily, the denim color is more grey than blue, as I had hoped.

It was very hard to find sandals for my mother in law and I had bought and returned couple pairs. These are the first that fit her well: straps adjust to her feet deformed after accident, the heels are right height and back strap is a necessity for her. And they look good. Also, Zappos return policy and good reputation were reasons for us to try buying shoes on Internet and we are glad we did.

SoftWalk Bolivia are my favorite. However, I was quite disappointed to find the size 8 is now smaller and my toes overlap the sole. I measured them with the pairs that I bought in another year and they are not the same. I the ordered an 8.5 Bolivia and, of course, it did not fit properly either.

I bought this sandal in a size 8 M in the tumbled black leather. I am normally a 7.5/8 shoe size and in my late 50's. Style and comfort are very important. I have flat feet, wider in front, normal to slightly narrow heel, and have much trouble finding really comfortable shoes/sandals that you can walk or stand in for long periods of time. These sandals are wonderfully comfortable, especially for my problem left foot with arthritis/bunion and I have been able to wear them all day with no issues. I don't like the velcro, wish it had adjustable buckles. That is the only drawback. My feet do not get hot in these as with many of the other sandal/shoes out there, and the quality is very good. The sandal looks nicely stylish on the foot, much better than the photo/video portrays. Looking forward to buying more of these in different colors. Definitely recommend this sandal, especially if you have bunions or arthritis, need all day comfort without foot fatigue, and do not wish to look like you have geriatric shoes on.

Got these for my elderly mom,,who has bunions and wide feet. She absolutely loves them. Easy for her to put on / take off. She also says they're very comfortable. I ordered a second pair so she now has beige and brown.

This is a very nice sandal. It combines an attractive appearance with comfort. I first ordered a size 8, narrow width because I usually wear an 8, & my feet are on the narrow side of wide. As it turned out, I had to re-order a size 8 1/2, medium width which fit great. I think they may run a little short for their size, but their width designation is sure right on. I get tired of all the sandals that only come in medium and are actually on the wide side of medium, which is why I was afraid to order medium on my first order. Also the more I wear them, the more comfortable they feel. I was a little worried about how to keep that soft, brushed leather clean. I stupidly spilled food on them the first time I wore them, and I thought I had ruined them. But I took a wet washcloth, a little water and some saddle soap and they cleaned up like new, not even leaving water marks. So I think I will be very happy with these shoes.

I'm loving these sandals! With the two velcro straps I can adjust the fit during the day as needed. They are light weight and so soft to walk in even on a gravel driveway! Being a diabetic I need shoes that fit really well and will pamper my feet all day...every day! These are it!

Nice shoe. Seems to run a little short. I always wear a size 8 but this was too short. Also, the toe tapers a little more than most shoes so if you have a medium to wide foot, the fit may not work. The shoe itself felt comfy.

I wear a 6.5N and had to go up to a 7N. I almost need a 7.5. They are still pretty short. Luckily Zappos was great on the return of both pair of 6.5 since we tried a 2nd pair as well.

I love this shoe. I wear a brace and this shoe is very adjustable and very comfortable. I have trouble finding shoes that will adjust to fit over the brace and still fit my other foot.

I love these shoes. I reordered it in a smaller size. I think they will be great for walking all day, even with my terrible feet. They are like walking on air and do not bother my Morton's Neuromas. It has lots of cushion and air pockets.

This shoe is so comfortable. I got a narrow, which is exactly what I need and the 3 adjustable straps enveloped my foot perfectly. The problem was I really thought they were a 7. I wear a 7.5 pretty darn consistently and my toes hung over the top.
