I love them. I usually wear a 9 or 9.5. Glad I went to the 9.5. They are so comfortable - great shoe. Want another pair!

The Jambu Water Diva is a super comfortable shoe. I love it when a shoe, right out of the box, feels like you've been wearing it for months and this shoe is exactly that. I bought the charcoal color and loved it so much that I bought the powder blue as well. The fit is great. I have wide feet and a high arch so being able to adjust the straps perfectly to my foot is a plus. I don't find the straps long like some other buyers, but my high arch and wide feet probably take up the slack. I have a couple pairs of the Jambu hiking boots that I practically live in during the winter but wanted something cooler for the hot summers here in North Florida. I was looking for something a little more rugged and protective of my toes than a basic flip flop and these shoes are perfect. Not only comfortable and practical but...I've already gotten compliments on how cute they are too!

These shoes are super comfy. The thick cushion soles are great. Other reviews are correct that the lace is long. Luckily I can sew, so I can shorten it!

I love these. I bought them for vacation use and walked all over Thailand and Japan in them. They were really comfortable, offered fantastic support and let my feet breathe on some very hot and humid days.

After wearing these very comfortable shoes, I decided to order another pair. I'm only returning them, because I wanted a red pair. The description listed them as plum. However, they looked red on my computer, so I thought it was worth a try.

I bought these for a trip to New York City. I wore them walking around the city for four days and loved them! They are cute but supportive! I would definitely recommend these!

I bought these shoes based on favorable reviews from other Zappos customers. And I would agree they are comfortable and well made. My only complaint is that the strap is thin and you have to readjust the tension on the velcro each time you wear them. I wish the strap were a little thicker right at the velcro attachment area for a stronger hold. Not a big deal though.

Really cute! Not as sturdy as I thought they would be... The straps are more like ribbons, but i love how you can tighten them on both sides. I'm still breaking them in, comfortable and like I said... Super cute!

Love these shoes but have one complaint. The material on the right shoe was sewn a little shorter than the material on the left shoe and it makes my pinkie toe stick out. I didn't notice it until I was hiking for a while so it was too late to exchange them for another pair. Other than that, I love them!

I needed shoes that supported my feet well (I suffer from mild plantar fasciitis). I love Jambu and love that these sporty sandals look feminine. These shoes are super comfortable and I have not had any foot pain. I think they might be too loose if you have narrow feet - they feel a little loose for me and I do not have narrow feet. The straps are adjustable, but super tightened straps might hang weirdly. I have not tried them in the water yet, but I look forward to keeping up with my boys in a creek without taking my shoes off. I get compliments on these every time I wear them! I am very happy with these!

Very cute. The little flowers help it look feminine with short summer dresses. I could feel the end of the shoe with my big toe. So I'd go a half size up from my usual size. The toe is nice and wide, but the straps are very adjustable so the width should fit a lot of people. It only has a little arch support, so it doesn't help people who pronate badly like me.

Two words: toe cleavage. Except for that, these shoes were adorable beyond words.Both sides of the top ankle straps undo, so those straps are very adjustable an can accommodate many foot shapes. Might not be great for people with flat feet as the velcro on the strap only goes so high and to tighten the shoe enough, it might not line up with the receiving velcro on the heel strap. Super light weight. Comfy for a wide-footer like me. But...toe cleavage on all five toes!

Nice, well made sandals but the velcro strap design does not permit individual sizing. No way to tighten the straps and the heel area. Entirely too loose. I must return.

Love the look of this shoe, but very uncomfortable for me where the straps go through the metal rings, will have to return them.

These shoes are really cute on, almost like a ballet slipper. The straps have a shiny quality to them. I loved them, but my old feet need more arch support. I was sad.

If you have a low arch, I don't recommend this sandal. The plastic triangle strap holder at the arch area irritated my each foot within 10 minutes and was unable to keep the sandals on any longer. If you have a normal arch, I would recommend this sandal. My daughter loves it.

I liked the style of these shoes, color was nice too, but the fit was a bit difficult. 10 was too small and 11 too big and loose. Concerned that velcro on heel straps would wear out quickly as it is a pretty thin piece.

These shoes are exactly what I was looking for. They will go from the water to wearing with a casual summer dress when traveling. I recommend you buy half a size larger.

These are nice shoes, but the straps too loose. They should have a longer Velcro strip. They are easy to wear for over eight hours.

Okay 3rd time's a charm, right? First pair a little to small second pair strap came out of the sole...just got the replacement so we will see. I do love them and hope it was a rare thing for it to break.I think the straps are a little to long but other then that they are great.

These shoes are so comfy. I love how light they feel, and even in the water they don't like they're weighing you down at all. The styling isn't too bad - if you need a comfortable water shoe, chances are you aren't that worried about how they look. I use them mostly for sailing, but also for swimming on a rocky beach, and general walking. I agree with other reviews that the straps are too long, but they aren't so long that they don't work.

I've had the non-mesh version for about a year and have loved wearing them around town. I never had a problem with the length of the straps (I have a high arch), nor problem with the velcro not holding. I typically wear an 8 in Merrell sandals, but an 8 1/2 or 9 in other shoes (39-40 in European sizes) and a 9 in these was a bit big but okay. I think they're really comfortable. But when I wore them in Italy this summer, I got a heckuva blister on the top/side of my left pinkie toe and one not quite as bad on the outside of my right big toe, and that toe had a heavy callus! That was after one wearing. I don't know if it was the sustained walking + heat & humidity that did it, or what. So, I still love them, but will be cautious in the future, and maybe wear bandages on the trouble spots, just in case.

I love these shoes. They have very comfortable straps, that did not cut into my skin. Although I agree with some other reviewers, it is a little long, but I can deal with it. Some reviewers say the Velcro did not hold for them, I find it works fine for me, hiking and all, overall, worth it!

These are true to size and very comfortable. The loops on the sides can be a bit uncomfortable and mine are starting to fray a bit, but overall I am very happy with these shoes. They have seen water, mud and boulders. They are also great for casual about town walking.
