I love these shoes. They are like wearing slippers. I wore them on rocky, hilly and slick terrain for hours and they were completely comfortable.

Cute and comfortable! I bought a size up because I have a wide foot and these shoes only come in medium.

I love these shoes. This purchase was my second pair. I wear them every day. It's like going bare foot, so there is very little arch which works for me as I don't have much of an arch.

These are excellent shoes for my feet. I have a huge bunion on one foot and this shoe is wide enough to accommodate my bunion, but can also be adjusted to fit my non-bunion foot nicely as well. I wouldn't mind a little more support from the sole - but can always add an insert. I am so happy I tried this shoe. I also have the Jambu cherry which I love and I have tried the water diva but found it to be too narrow.

I received these shoes the morning after ordering. That was amazing! Thank you, Zappos! I absolutely love these shoes more than I ever imagined! It is seriously like going barefoot, or wearing houseshoes, yet it does support the foot. I have a short, wider foot and I got a 6½ rather than my usual size 7 and they fit perfectly. Nothing hurts on my feet when I wear these. They are also flattering to my foot. I love them.

Great shoes! Very comfortable. Breathable, so your feet don't get hot. Only one thing I don't like, when you take them off, the liner comes out with them. No big deal, but it would be nice if that didn't happen. Other than that, they are great shoes!

I love these shoes. They took me all around London and Paris-- lots of walking. They were comfortable from day one with no breaking in issues. They are cute and cool. I put my orthotics in to give me a bit more arch support and thus ordered a size 7 instead of size 6.5 (which I would be if I didn't use the orthotics).

Wide foot alert. This is a lovely shoe on a wide foot which is probably why there has been so much complaint on it's fit. It is supposedly meant for an average foot. I bought this particular shoe for walking into water. I give it high marks for staying on and resisting the pull of the water. It also drains out very well. The sole has great traction and is so flexible that as other have commented the Jambu Barefoot really does feel like barefoot. Surprisingly I have been using the shoes while I paint from a very tall ladder. I can feel my footing on the rungs and position accordingly. The traction is terrific and has kept me from slipping. They would be incredible for being in a boat. They are very well made and have a great look not often found in water shoes. As for Zappos itself. What is not to love? The shoes arrived very quickly. They have customer reviews that give us a good idea what we are getting and lovely ladies who model the shoes so that we know how it will look on us! It is all beyond good. :)

This shoe was not designed to support your arch; it was designed to teach you to support yourself (the description even says that in nicer terms). It is a wonderful shoe. My legs and back have become much stronger since beginning to wear this shoe. I have no foot pain (from plantar fasciitis) since wearing this shoe and my feet and legs are more flexible. I have gone hiking, to work, swimming, and performed martial arts in these shoes. After three months of use the straps are too long for my feet and do not retain their elasticity, but I can deal because of the benefits of this shoe.

I was looking for comfortable walking shoes for my trip to New Orleans. I read the previous reviews and was not sure what size to get because I have never worn this brand before. I am usually a 9.5, but sometimes a 1/10.5 in closed toe heels and sneakers, so I ordered a 9.5 and a 10. The 9.5 fit the exact length of my foot (2nd toe slightly longer than 1st) but it was hard to get the straps to meet the Velcro part. There was just enough room. The 10 worked better- bit more room/more play w/the straps, so I'm returning 9.5. I think the larger size, if you are between sizes, will be better. Really comfortable and works my calf muscles.

Comfortable, feels like I am walking barefoot with lots of padding on the soles of my feet! I love these shoes.

These are very uncomfortable. It felt like my heel was lower than the rest of my foot.

I have a difficult time getting shoes to fit because my foot is narrow. I usually wear an 8½ narrow shoe. I ordered this in the 8 and 8½ since I was not sure which would fit. The 8½ fit like a glove. The shoe is extremely comfortable and super cute. I ordered the brown with green straps.

As a yoga therapist I know how important it is to have healthy, flexible feet, so I encourage my clients to be barefoot as much as possible. I love the barefoot benefits if this shoe, and was so confident that I took them to Europe for two weeks of walking around. I was not disappointed in the least. If you want healthy, flexible feet, you must try these shoes (or other barefoot version).

I was looking for minimalist shoes, and these are perfect. They feel like I'm walking around in grippy socks and I can walk for miles in them. My feet are medium width and in between a 6.5 and a 7, so the size 7 I ordered feels a bit on the looser side. Still, the straps are very adjustable so that I can tighten them when I first put on the shoes, and then loosen them if my feet swell. These shoes are also very cute with shorts, jeans, capris, or skirts. I'd love to get another pair of Jambu shoes!

Cute! These shoes are adorable. They are comfortable and my heel orthotics fit well. They look good with casual dresses as well as shorts. Great purchase. Of course, Zappos got them to me super quickly!

I bought these shoes and loved the style and color so much I went walking in them without realizing they were half a size too big. They're still perfectly comfortable and I love them for shopping, casual work day, and light walking. The second pair I got a half size smaller and it fits great. I got that pair in the brown with green straps and they're great, too. If they fit right, you can walk around in these a while comfortably if you don't need much arch support. The brown ones don't show dirt and I wore them for days during a recent music festival. Well-made, well worth the money.

This style of shoe is fantastic. I bought one of every color to wear with many of my casual outfits. No back or leg problems when I wear these shoes.

Comfortable and great with jeans/casual wear. Green is a little brighter than appears in picture, but a good combo with the brown.

I love these shoes, they look so cute on and I'm thinking of getting more colors. I love the barefoot feel of walking, definitely feels different than normal shoes. I'm taking them to Europe, can't wait to see how they fare!

Very comfortable and stylish. I wondered if the red and white would be too flashy so I ordered that one and the black. I like the red one a lot--it really is a nice shade of red and the white is more of a beige that (I hope) will not show too much dirt. The black is nice, too, but I didn't like that as much, so I'm sending it back. I'm getting kind of sick of this criss-cross strap design that everyone's doing, but this one is especially well-made and nice looking and I'm sure I'll get a lot of wear out of it this summer.

I just got back from Europe and wore these shoes day in and day out. On the airplane, on cobblestones, hikes to ancient sites, on city streets and so on. They proved to be a wonderful shoe. Lightweight, no hassle. No need for socks. I ended up with no blisters or other foot discomforts. I took 3 other pairs of shoes with me but wore these 90% of the time. And I got rave compliments on them from others in my group!

These shoes are so comfortable; they are like ballerina slippers but with pretty good cushioning and support. The tow box is quite wide (which I wanted) but stylish and the heel tapers sufficiently to hold the heel in place. The medium width is too wide for me, I need narrow, so the straps, when pulled tight enough to hold my foot, were too long to velcro properly. Fortunately I have access to a Shoe Repair (though it's a 45 mile round trip) and he was able to removed the velcro strips, cut the straps and remake that part of the shoe. Now they fit much better and are light, comfy and cute. If you wear a medium width these should be just fine. They run true to size, maybe a little bit longer.

I bought these shoes for a trip to Italy and they were awesome! It barely feels like you're wearing shoes and they were still good for hiking the trails in Cinque Terre and walking through the cobble stone cities. Plus they are super cute!

These shoes fit like a glove right out of the box. As a mother of two children under three years of age, I needed a shoe that would be easy and comfortable for keeping up with my 2-1/2 year old. These shoes were perfect for the first couple of weeks, I was getting compliments from complete strangers, and I was about ready to order another color, but then they started to rub my heels raw. My heels have finally gotten better, but I'm scared to wear them again without bandaids. They really are fantastic shoes that would probably be a favorite, if I can just get past this heel thing!
