Customer Reviews Jambu Blossom

The style of this shoe is very cute -- the decorative stitching is a nice contrast with the charcoal; however, the fit, for me, was not comfortable in terms of the fit across the arch of my foot. The foot bed is great and nicely padded but because of the thicker memory foam padding that means there it's a tighter fit with how much room there is for the foot inside the shoe. The shoe feel unbelievable tight across the top of my foot and with absolutely no give in at the edge so it feel like it was cutting into the top of my foot. At least for me, it seems that because the shoe has a thicker insole, they should have accommodated that by making more room vertically so it doesn't feel like my foot is being flattened (and not in a good way) inside the shoe.

I bought these shoes based on the overall good reviews, particularly because the consensus seemed to be that they are very comfortable. Unfortunately, even though I ordered a half size up as was recommended by many reviewers, the shoes still felt very tight across the tops of my feet and tore the skin on the backs of my heels to shreds, as well as gave me blisters on the soles of my feet. I've never had a shoe leave my feet in such bad shape. They are cute, but offer very little support and need a ton of breaking in to be wearable.

Comfy out of the box, stylish, light weight. The problem was that they wore out inside of a year. By wore out I mean the insole disintegrated and I couldn't remove it easily to replace so I added an insole and it was snug. This spring I decided to remove the insole and try a different one. When I got it out I discovered that the sole bottom was full of holes and not repairable. Sadly I ended up throwing them away. I only had these 1 year and wore them fairly frequently. I applaud Jambu's intention to use recycled materials in their manufacturing but honestly I expected better longevity out of a shoe at this price. As much as I loved them, and I really did, I won't be purchasing another pair unless their quality improves.

I loved these shoes and wore them for almost two seasons. This morning I noticed the insoles were worn out and pulled them out to replace. Well, the soles were worn completely through at the heel and there was essentially no sole at all under the heels, just waffly holes. For this price I expect better quality than that. I kind of want to order another pair but I do not want to have to replace them again in another few months so I think I will pass. That is too bad.

These shoes are very comfortable; however, within hours of wearing them two of the flowers near the big toes ripped. So now there is a big space on one of my shoes...it looks funny and I am totally bummed. Otherwise they are very comfortable. And Zappos is great!

If you have purchased Jambu shoes in 2012 or 2013 style, you will be disappointed. I have not found any of the current styles to fit the same. All are awful. The Blossom was purchased in wide but it is too short even though I purchased a size larger. I tried to make them work by removing insert, then I cut toe section out, placed it back, still uncomfortable, fits like cheap shoes from discount department store. Just not the same shoe from past. I'm sorry they changed. I get compliments on my old Jambu shoes everywhere I go.

Cement with Pink, really? Does not vaguely resemble suede or anything earthly. Back to brown. Was searching for a grey to light colored sandal. This is ugly. Too ugly to wear, even though I wanted this style: Brown pseudo man-made materials please.

Unfortunately the top edge of the heel angles in dramatically and digs into your heel immediately (and I have narrow heels/ankles to begin with); this has "heel blister" written all over it. I found this to be a problem with all the different Jambu styles I received in this order. It got sent straight back (as did all the others).

I fell in love with this shoe on line, but it didn't love me back. The interior rim cut into my foot terribly. I couldn't wear it for even a minute. The length was okay and maybe the width, but the instep was too shallow. I never thought I had a high instep! But that area just below my toes going toward my ankle was just not loving the show. Sadly, I had to send them back. I think I'll have to say good bye to this shoe designer. I have a wide foot and although all the reviews seem to say that the shoe runs wide, I don't think it truly does. It's maybe a larger medium on the range of whatever medium width is. Love Zappos though. Returning the shoe was super easy! The only thing that would make it easier is if the boxes had a self adhesive strip. But that's ridiculous (right?). I'll keep trying but stick to searches for wide shoes that actually have a wide size.

Tight, feels like plastic, not cute on at all. Looks like an ugly orthotic. So cute in picture, so ugly in reality.

Wanted dark blue. Also size is too small. Many thanks anyway. Judith Dunne

This was my 5th pair of Jambu shoes. I like them for travel because they're so comfortable. Since I had other pairs, I ordered my regular size 8 & wore them the next day. Turns out that even though they were almost the same style as my other pairs, they were far too small. After an hour I couldn't even walk in them and since I wore them once I can't return them. I don't know why they can't standardize their sizes. One Jambu size 8 should be the same size as another if the style is the same. They're cute but beware of the sizing.

This shoes runs small. I'm a true size 6. I ordered these cuties in a 6 and just like Cinderella's wicked step-sisters, I could barely shove my toes in. I don't know if 1/2 a size up would be enough so I'm just going to pass on them and Jambu shoes in the future. Even when return shipping is paid for, it's still time and bother.

Initially I loved this shoe and received many compliments. After very little wear time over the past few months, I am extremely disappointed in the quality, especially considering the price of the shoes. The thin leather covering is literally peeling away from the bottom back seam of the shoe and the adhesive is breaking down on the front side seam. Very sad, as they are very cute.
