Customer Reviews Jambu Blossom Encore

I really wanted to like these, and I pretty much did for the first month or so. The left was a good 1/2 size larger, the right foot hurt on big toe where the strap attaches. After about 2 weeks of wearing they stretched out a lot. I put an insole on top of the existing insole and it worked until the straps stretched out more. The right finally stretched out enough to put an insole in there too, and I continued to wear them. The straps are pretty thin and stretched out A LOT (note I never pulled them tight across my foot). Now I can't even fasten the Velcro because the strap is stretched past the point of overlap. A colossal waste of money for 3 months wear. Definitely would NOT but again.

Super cute shoe, but the Black Earth color is not black, its brown. Looked black to me in the pictures. So, unfortunately the shoe is going back. But, its also just not as comfortable as the original Blossom shoe. I wish they'd bring back the original design. So thankful for Zappos quick shipping and easy returns!

So much cuter in person! I feared they may look like clown shoes on my relatively large flat feet but they are comfortable and adorable. A clear winner! So glad I took a chance on these shoes, especially since not all Jambu shoes fit nor look so good on my feet.

Loved the looks of this shoe but my usual size 10 was very short. Need to send back for a half size larger.

My daughter bought these last year and I thought they were so cute. I was looking for a comfortable walking shoe tfor Europe trip. I love Jambu shoes but this style wasn't my favorite for several reasons. The leather on this red model is very stiff and unyielding. The cross strap was very tight across my instep and uncomfortable. The leather cut into my foot on the front sides, Just not a good fit for me.

Really cute style and I love this brand--have other pairs in a different style. This pair was very uncomfortable due to top straps rubbing my foot where they were attached to the shoe.

The back is much to high and stiff for me.

I have tried 3 different styles of Jambu and JBU shoes and find a lot of variation in the comfort level. The insole of these did not provide the same degree of arch support or cushioning as the "deep sea" style.

Love this shoe! So comfortable. Purchased 1/2 size larger than usual and it is very roomy, but not TOO large. I'll be buying more Jambu....

I read the reviews about they running small in size. I wear a 7 so I ordered a 7 1/2. They were too big. I say they run true to size. Had to return them.

It's a challenge to find shoes that fit and are comfortable. I have narrow feet, but have bunions so I generally need medium width shoes with a strap or ties to keep them on my feet (orthotics help with that too). These shoes didn't work because the strap was too loose on my foot even after I put in my orthotic. Too bad.

Love these shoes. Wore to Disney for a week and my feet didn't hurt (they usually do)

Shoes were so cute,but were so large I couldn't feel the arch support. I'm usually 9-9 1/2. These were 91/2. I will have to see if Jambu has a similar shoe in a "B" width

I was looking for a cute summer sandal with decent arch support and width for my bunion. These did not quite make it. The flowers looked darling in the photos, but in person they just didn't look as good on my feet. The shoes were just wide enough for my bunion, but the leather was not as soft as I was hoping for and the break in process would have been a bit painful. Also the shoes made a very loud sticking/squeaking noise as I walked through my kitchen. Sending these ones back. The length is true to size.

I simply ordered WIDE as I have a wide foot, and a half size bigger. I take size 9, and ordered 9.5. I absolutely LOVE these shoes. they are so comfy, with the memory foam. They also are cool during hot summer days, and easy to slide on and off. So grateful Zappos carries them in the wide! Very hard to find. Jambu shoes have replaced my Sanita Clogs, which I wore for years. The metatarsal issues, and shin issues have resolved. Thank you Zappos for carrying these gems!

It's a cute design, comfortable sole but not comfortable top! Flower designs on top are sewn to the leather and when you wear the shoes, you can feel the stitches rubbing to the skin. It's also too wide that I don't even need to open the straps to take them off. They're going back.

Felt overall tight for a Wide. In addition, on my 7.5 size foot, the slightly diagonal cut of the instep landed right in the middle of the bunion area. Love the look, just not for my foot.

Not as comfy insole as I was hoping. Nice for short walks, but not an all day on your feet shoe.

I love these shoes so much, I bought a second pair. They are cute, comfortable, and go with almost everything.

I was looking for a replacement for my well worn Clarks Wave Wish shoes which are super comfortable but sometimes a little clunky in appearance. These do very nicely--though are perhaps not quite as comfortable. Sometimes the thin straps bother my feet at the end of the day, and I can imagine they wouldn't work well with a very high arch. I purchased the "Black Earth" color and, as others have mentioned, it is not a true black, but a very dark brown. This works fine for how I wear the shoes but is something to consider.

These are very cute and comfortable in person. Wide toe box, which works well for my foot (wider than average at toe, narrower than average at heel).

These were a tad snug from the outset, but the leather loosens up within a week. They were a little longer than expected, and given that, I went a half size down on my next pair, the Dark Earth. I kept the blue in the size 8, because even though they are longer than necessary, they are still comfortable and ridiculously cute without making my foot appear long. Ordinarily I wear a wide width on my Keen-shaped foot, but the medium width in this shoe was sufficient.

I was so hoping these shoes would be comfortable but they felt stiff and the flower design dug into my foot when walking. will be returning

After two weeks of actual wear, these shoes have stretched so much, that without the strap, I wouldn't be able to keep them on my feet. I settled on an 8B which were snug when new, although I usually wear an 8W.The shoes are still super-cute, but are so wide that they flap at the heel, and while the arch support felt good when they were new, they are so big now that they have very little actual support. I regret buying them.
