Customer Reviews Native Shoes Jefferson

Light & comfortable

Fit really well and was exactly how it was described. Lasted for a very long time, good quality

True to fit - i love them. Very practical.

I originally bought a pair for my toddler and she (and I) loved them so much that I decided I need a pair too. I love the silver - neutral but fun. They fit perfect. I'm usually between a 7 and a 7.5 so I went with the 7. No extra room at the end but I obviously won't be wearing socks with them so that's fine. They are creasing a little where my foot bends when I walk but that doesn't bother me. It's just what happens with that kind of material. They're very light and very comfortable. I think they'll be really great for summer.

I like them a lot! But I normally wear a woman’s ten and these fall off my feet when I in them. I could have used a 9.5 or 9.0.

It’s Summer - they make feet sweat. I wish the insides were flocked with an absorbing material.

These are the cutest shoes! So comfortable and lightweight!! They are so easy to clean too.

These are my favorite shoes, but sadly, they rub blisters on my pinky toes if I walk any distance at all.

I bought a pair for my granddaughter, then my daughter and son in law each bought a pair! I thought they’d be perfect for summer, and am happy I ordered a pair for myself!

My son lived in Crocs until I discovered Native brand. These offer more support and he can run in them without them flying off his feet. Love the assortment of colors!

These shoes were a wonderfully unexpected surprise for me. I am a woman in my 30s, currently 6 months pregnant with my second child. My four year old son has been wearing Native Jeffersons for a few years now and as a mom, I love them. They’re easy to clean, no socks required, comfortable according to my son, and he can get them on and off easily on his own. We are going to Disneyland in May when it’s moderately hot. If you’ve ever been to one of the parks, you know that it includes a ton of walking. Since I’m largely pregnant and I have some issues with my pelvis that have required physical therapy this pregnancy, I knew I wasn’t getting away with flip flops this year. I also was dreading wearing my Nike running shoes. They’re not breathable or waterproof, and they also look pretty terrible with every outfit I’ve tried except athletic wear. Being that I am not a “sporty” girl, and I wanted to wear comfortable, yet stylish clothes to Disney, I wanted to find shoes that would look cute and fit my style better. (AKA a t-shirt dress and capri maternity leggings!) I went back and forth about buying myself Natives for a few months. I wasn’t convinced they’d be comfortable and I figured I’d look bad in them. I finally bought them pretty close to our trip, and my only wish is that I’d done it sooner. I generally wear a pretty solid women’s size 8 in almost all shoes. My feet are definitely on the wider side (though I don’t usually buy wide shoes). These shoes fit me perfectly. I noticed that my fit in them is a lot different than my young son’s—he has narrow feet, and seems to have a lot more space all around his foot (except for the length). My feet comfortably fill out the shoes, but it’s not tight or uncomfortable in any way. They actually feel secure in the way you would want a running shoe to feel. There is enough space to comfortably wear a pair of no show Bombas socks with them (the only brand I’ve tried). My feet don’t tend to sweat much, but I have felt a slight moisture build-up after wearing them a few hours. People prone to sweaty feet would likely do well with socks. If you’ve ever had a pair of Crocs, the material that Native Jeffersons are made of is very similar if not identical to them. I didn’t think they’d have the same feel on my feet (comfort wise) but they really do. They’re very cushioned without feeling unstable. I don’t have any issues with my arches, so I can’t comment on how great they are for flat feet or high arches, but they feel very supportive to me. I had read several reviews about the soles being slick or not having good tread, but that hasn’t been my experience at all. I feel these have great traction—I haven’t used them in a downpour yet (probably wouldn’t because of the holes in the top!) But on dry ground indoors and out, they’ve been great for me. As I mentioned, my son has been wearing these shoes for quite a while and he also runs and plays with them with no issue. Crocs on the other hand are a nightmare for kids in my opinion. (I taught kindergarten and pre-k and strongly discouraged Crocs for kids at recess as they tend to fall off or trip kids with their big toes). Overall, I would highly recommend these shoes for children and adults alike. They are practical, comfortable, affordable, durable, and stylish! Now to convince my husband he needs some... ;)

Sadly, since Native changed manufacturers for the Jefferson, I can no longer get a Jefferson to fit. I have an old pair of size 9, that fit perfectly. Now, the women’s size 9 is too big, and the women;s size 8 is too small. I contacted Native shoes about this issue, and evidently I am just sorry out of luck now.

love these natives. very comfortable

Shoes were sent to my adult daughter in UK at vast cost I might add. She loves them from day one, and finds them fitting well and comfy. Can't ask for more

It has been several weeks since they arrived, and I've worn them almost every day... I love them! My foot is wide in the front, and narrow in the heel so for me the best size in terms of length is a little snug around the width of my foot...but like mentioned, the shoe seems to stretch and give so that it's still comfortable. If this shoe came in a wide width, I'd buy another pair as I'd like to have a pair with wiggle room so they would be easy to slip on/off. I suspect the shoe would also feel cooler as there would be more give to more air to flow through. They fit securely...which is perfect for what I bought them for: a shoe that could run to the store, hang out at the kids' sports game, then jump right into the pool or wet garden without being uncomfortable, slipping off, or having my foot slide around the inside. I hope they hold up as well as I hear they will as I'm fairly hard on shoes....

I live in the Tropics. The Caribbean to be exact. These shoes are now my everyday wear. They're very comfortable, slip on easily, and have a thicker (slightly 'springy') sole than Vans or Converse do. I wear them without socks. They really feel GOOD. I used to wear Converse Slip Ons. But even if they were still available, Native Shoes - 'Jefferson's' would be my first choice. Go up a size for your best fit.

I’m regular 8 on rubber shoes. 7 on leather shoes. Ordered size 8s. Was too big. Replaced overnight with 7s. No complains. Great shoe.

Everything!!

Love these shoes! Had been wanting to try them for awhile since my kids live in them wanted to make sure they were comfy. I finally found a pair in a color I liked for me. Unfortunately there are no half sizes so the 9 in women’s feels too big but the 8 was too tight/small... I’m normally 8.5 so decided to keep the 8 for comfort. There is room to spare when I walk but they are certainly comfy for walking. The right shoe does keep rubbing against the front of my ankle, so that’s annoying but no major issues from it yet. These are so far great, easy slip ons that I can chase my kids around and comfortably walk to morning school drop off and afternoon pick up. I wish they were available in half sizes but so far the fact that they are “roomier” isn’t that bad.

Beautiful and very stylish!!!

I always wear men's 11 but these were too long for my feet and too narrow. They do t sell wides and I wouldn't want to go up a size because they would be even longer.

So i loved the idea of this shoe, and they were cute! But the arch felt too far back for my foot, i just thought for the money i should be really comfy so i opted to return them! I really wish they worked out better for me!

True size and very comfortable! Super happy with my purchase !

I have probably bought warning used from Zappos 20 to 30 pair of the shoes they’re my favorite even though I have probably 100 more pairs of shoes :-). Basically this is all I wear in the water out of the water rocks don’t go in water goes out I have almost every color :-) Do I recommend them what do you think!

I got these to wear at the lake. Unfortunately they seemed too slick inside and make squeaky noises just walking in my bedroom. They were 9k on comfort but nothing note worthy
