Love this shoe! Feels cool and comfortable and looks great too! Found this shoe in a store and luckily didn't have my size. I went straight to Zappos and poof! I had them the next day. Zappos - you are awesome!

Love these shoes. I took these camping with me and wore them all the time, even on short hikes.

These shoes are absolutely fabulous. They look casual, but also fashionable. I have worn them traveling and get compliments on them both at home and abroad. The shoes are very comfortable with a cushioned sole and a wide, wide footbed which suits me. This is the second pair of this style that I have purchased...they are great!

These fit great! I took them out of the box & wore them all day. If you want the comfort & ease of a sandal & the support & traction of a running shoe, these are for you. Be prepared for compliments! Came home & ordered a pair for my mother in law. She can't wait for hers!

Roman gladiatorial sandal crossed with a Keen! These comfortable shoes are very cute, offer some toe coverage, and stay on. The drawstring elastic lacing is not at all uncomfortable. I ordered a half size larger, based on reviews, but this was unnecessary, the shoes are true to size. I've been wearing Keens for years and these are just as comfortable, and (sorry Keens) cuter. Most amazing of all, I received them 17 hours after ordering. Does Zappos hide in my shrubbery?

Instant comfort when these went on my feet. And they are cute. Leather is very soft and hugs my feet like it was made for it. The first time I ordered these I got what must have been a 6 in a box marked 9 1/2. I am glad they had one more 9 1/2 left. Great service Zappos. I will still have these for the week-end even with the mix-up. Definitely size up though, I usually wear a 9 and ordered a 9 1/2. 9's would have been too small.

The most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. If you don't mind constant comments about how cute your shoes are then these shoes will be your favorites.

Like the shoe...great to keep feet cool on a hot day. Wish the toe box was a little more enclosed as my two smallest toes sometimes want to come out of the straps on the sides and that is slightly annoying, but not enough to return the shoe.

These shoes are like walking on clouds! Very comfortable, yet breathable because they are sandals. I plan to hike in these soon, as they seem sturdy enough. They are also very attractive...much more so than the Keens that they resemble. I've had many compliments on them in the short time I've owned them. The toe box is nice and wide for those that are concerned, and the heel is fitted nicely so my foot doesn't slip out.

I absolutely LOVE this pair of shoes!! They are so very comfortable - I wore them all day the first time out of the box. I have problem feet and these shoes don't bother my bunions and sore toes. I was able to put my orthotic inserts inside the shoe with no problem. I hate having to wear shoes that are "comfortable but ugly"...these shoes look GOOD!! I have gotten many compliments on them.
The only thing you have to be careful about is pulling the bungee cord (the shoe laces) too tight. If too tight the laces leave a criss-cross pattern on the top of your foot.
I would highly recommend these shoes!

I am a stage 4 cancer patient who has great problems with her feet due to chemo. I have neuropathy and hand foot syndrome. The latter makes my feet get very hot and then other uncomfortable symptoms emerge. These shoes fit a nitch for me that no other shoe could. I researched the internet before buying them. I wanted an open, SOFT (on my foot) shoe with no texture on the foot bed. These have a very comfortable spongy footbed. I live in NE and I wear them with no socks at the end of the winter. I wear them in my aerobics class and they work for me like no other shoe could. They never had a break in period. They are totally comfortable, I have a narrow foot in the heel and it tapers wider in the front. They accomodate my foot well. I read all the reviews and decided to order my size - 8 - but the big toe hit the end and the next day I received the 8.5 and it was perfect. I have never owned a shoe that gets so many compliments, for me, the price I payed was totally worth it. I love these shoes!

The Jambu Papaya shoes are an excellent pair of shoes. They are comfortable, flexible and I wear them everywhere. The day after I received the shoes, I was at a restaurant and the owner stopped me and wanted to know where did I buy my shoes. She had been looking for a paid of comfortable shoes and the price was not an issue. These shoes make a statement and you can dress them up or down--they are great! I love Zappo products because, they actually upgraded my delivery to two days at no extra charge and that was great because, God knows I wanted to wear my shoes.

I really like these shoes. I have them in brown and black. I like the leather on the brown pair the best. They are cute and I can make them fit my narrow foot.

Can you love a shoe too much?! I want a second pair just so I have a back-up. Wore them for the first time today. Got five compliments/inquiries within two hours of doing errands! Wore them all day, needed no break in period. True to size, a little wider in the toebox, which I like. Cute, light and springy shoe!

Very pretty, very comfy. Most of the year I prefer not to wear socks, though NW winters don't allow me to wear sandals year round. This helps bridge the gap between sandal weather and the unavoidably cold shoe+sock weather.

I have trouble finding comfortable shoes because of issues with my feet. I read the reviews on this shoe and decided to try it. It is comfortable and I find it very stylish! I was looking for a closed shoe that can hold my insert and that will work for my upcoming trip to Bali. These shoes will be a pair I will wear! I would buy Jambu again.

I must say, this shoe is what I was looking for in my line of work. I am on my feet for up to 10 hours per day and with the arch support, it gives me a comfortable fit. I would recommend it to anyone.

I never wear this type of shoe, but tried my daughter's on in a different size, and I love them! They're very comfortable, but at the same time very attractive. I bought 1/2 size larger than usual, and they're a perfect fit.

I have old & problem feet & have undergone foot surgery. The Jambu Papaya fits like a glove & feels like silk from the first time I put them on! I need a bit more of an arch support, so the Dr. Schol'ls peel & stick arches work for me! These shoes are both attractive & very comfortable, but I would not wear them outside in the winter!

I love these shoes. They are very comfortable, although the straps can be a bit uncomfortable, but not too bad. Great cushion, footbed, and shape for walking in comfort in a cute shoe that looks great with almost anything. I have narrow feet and find it hard to find good and comfortable shoes that fit. These are a perfect fit.

I got these in pewter and didn't make it two blocks before someone stopped me and asked me where I got them. I love the look, and I love the support. The laces do dig into your feet a little, but I wore them all day without a problem. I have a high instep/arch and wide feet. They do seem to be stretching out a little, and I expect that they'll be just fine in a day or two. The soles are rugged and the insoles are comfy and supportive. I'll be taking these on a two week trip to Morocco and expect to wear them in cities, ruins, a gorge and even the beach. I tried a lot of shoes from Zappos (love the free shipping!) and I ended up choosing this over the Keen Whisper, because I liked the look.

These shoes are great! The metallic looks cool and they are comfortable and great for water and land activities. I wore them camping and received lots of compliments. I had to order a full size larger than I normally wear since they run small.

Coolest, airiest closed-toe sandal around. Skinny straps leave lots of airflow for cooling. Soft, cushy insole feels comfy, with pretty good arch support, grippy soles, secure tops so they stay on well. Real leather! Not that fake nubuck which makes my feet itch and into a rash. Very well designed sandal. Love 'em so much I bought 2 pair more. Beware, though, the bronze color isn't regular, it's metallic paint!
