Customer Reviews Josef Seibel Tonga 25

I have found these sandals to be comfortable and stylish. Great for walking around the city for a day. I got the camel color first and liked them enough to get a second pair in black. I have narrow feet - these fit comfortably when straps are almost at their tightest. But so far, after a year, they haven't stretched to the point of unwearability like so many sandals I've had in the past.

These are so comfortable! The problem I have with a lot of similar styles is that the straps aren't adjustable and tend to leave an unattractive gap above my toes. The velcro on these makes it easy to get a custom fit and adjust throughout the day if I want a snugger or looser fit. Originally I thought the velcro closures would make the sandal look too casual, but the camel leather is polished and very high quality, so it goes with a lot of outfits. I'm also not usually a fan of the cork footbed because of the casual look, but this is a light color and very subtle. Really love this shoe!

Beautiful shoe, very well made, good arch support, however, the top strap was just a tad too long and the way the straps are situated, they were not good for my bunion. Sorry to return them.

Great sandals - right price, right sizing and good support. I've worn Mephisto Helens for many years (and still do:-) but also wanted a sandal with a strap around the heel. My only complaint is that the red was less red and more orange than I hoped for so I exchanged them (easy!) for a black pair.

Terrific sandal! Purchased the silver. We wear them with dresses, shorts, capris, skirts etc.. they look great and are always comfortable.

Beautiful sandal, Quality leather!! So tired of only suede selections. Great comfort with a cork foot bed; my personal favorite. Just a tad on the large side. The design of the shoe prevents the size from being a problem. Very satisfied with this well made shoe.

I am very happy with these sandals. They are super comfortable, and adjustable in all the right places. Given their comfort level, I think they're cute enough. I am very happy with this purchase.

Size runs weird. I usually wear a 38, too big, I reordered 37, too small. Returned both disappointed.

Attractive shoe. Nice leather. Pretty comfortable footbed. Love the 3 adjustable straps. Since I've not yet worn them, 3 months later, returning them...may get Eccos instead.

I wanted to love these - they are very cute and the soft footbed seemed like it would be great. I have moderately flat feet - these do not work well for that situation. The arch is probably great for the average foot, but I knew immediately upon stepping down and standing for a minute that it would be a problem for me. The arch portion of this show is narrow and high - very uncomfortable for a flatter foot that is not super narrow!

For my foot, with a wide toe and ball, and a fairly high arch, this is a fabulous walking sandal, the best I've found. I have it in black and red. Attractive, supportive, and great for city touring.

Love these comfortable sandals. I wear an 11-1/2 and my toes are almost at the edge, but they are not hanging over and don't interfere with walking. I wore them for several hours right out of the box and there were no problems. I have had a bunionectomy and hammertoe surgery on both feet and these shoes are perfect. I love the fact that they have three straps with Velcro attachments, so you can make them adjust to comfortably fit your foot. I just wish this brand had one size larger.

I wear an 8N, so the adjustable straps work well for me. The suede ran more narrow, was softer and lovely color, snake texture. The Tonga in navy suede was much more comfortable against top of foot. Cristal Metallic was stiff and straps fit wider on my foot which is narrow, so B width is fine. Metallic nice color. Sending back the B.

This is a cute shoe, but where the strap attaches at the metatarsal is right where my bunion is- and it just doesn't feel right. They are loose, but the straps can adjust to comfort, and the footbed is comfortable and great arch support. I hate to return, but I must.

I have a sore big toe & bunion on one foot, and heel problem on the other foot. Wore these all day the first time out! All 3 straps adjust, so they are totally customizable. Love them!

Love this sandal. It was comfortable right out of the box. I have a narrow foot so this style with 3 straps being adjustable works great! I am also able to wear my orthotics with them. I purchased 2 colors & have had compliments on both. Love the style!!

Just ordered my second pair in red. Very comfortable right from the start. I am 7 1/2 normally or 38 and ordered 37. Just right. The foot bed is soft and so comfortable. Straps make it easy to adjust if feet are warm and you need more room Great for summer.

A beautiful shoe. I have foot problems and need a stiff yet comfortable sole, these fit the bill, they are dressy enough to wear with my nicer clothes, I will be purchasing them in a different color, I purchased the silver color and they are really nice looking.

Cute shoes. Fit great. Just got them so I'm sure when they are broken in they will be super comfy. I like cork soles for stability

These are my first Joseph Seibel sandals and while there are many things I like about them - color selection, cork sole with cushioning, style and width of straps. Like others, they are getting stingy on the length of strap going over the instep. I have a high instep and I have walked out of these sandals because the strap is not long enough to use all of the velcro available. I have these in both the Creme (box says Camel) and Anthrazit. I did not buy these from Zappos.

The strap across toe stuck out and also rubbed underneath due to the velcro. They are ice looking shoes, but not not a good fit for me.

I really, really wanted to love these. The support and straps and footbed felt great. But I wear a 38 in other brands (Dansko and Birkenstock). In these, the 38 was just a bit too small. And the 39 too big. I loved the way the looked and felt. Just couldn’t get the fit right.

At first I really felt so comfortable in these well-made sandals. I liked the adjustable straps. However, I am returning them. Due to my high instep the top strap left marks on the top of my feet, regardless of how I adjusted that strap.

These are very well made shoes. My only concern is how long the heel will last. If you look closely at the photo, you will see that the footbed is cork, and beneath the cork is a very thin layer of rubber, a rubber composite or synthetic. It is thin. I am hard on my shoes and imagine having to bring them for repair frequently or, worse yet, throw them out. Ultimately, I decided to return them because I found a pair by Munro I like better and that I think will wear well.
