Customer Reviews Jambu Blossom Encore

What is it about Jambo shoes? They always are so cute. They look wonderful. Then you put them on and your eyes roll back. They're just hideous and uncomfortable. The leather has sharp edges. There's inadequate cushion in the bottom of the foot. They rub along every seam. And they generally run a half size small. I'm sad but I'm over them. It's just too disappointing to like them and I refuse to wear shoes that are uncomfortable. Still looking for a replacement brand. Maybe Dansko...

I had to replace the first pair of these because they were falling apart after just three months. Six months later, the second pair has fallen apart. I do not recommend this shoe, which is too bad because they are super cute.

Love these versatile shoes. A recent bout of severe back pain convinced me that I needed to replace my beloved Arcopedico flats with shoes that offer more support, including a back, and I don't like to wear open-toed sandals. Was debating whether to include these in the mix, and after seeing them on an acquaintance decided to do so. Am glad I did. These are great with skirts, dresses, or jeans/capris. They're a bit stiff, but I was able to wear them all day, right out of the box (even w/ bunions).

This cute shoe makes too much noise when you walk. The sound is coming from the inside of the shoe. Maybe the foam lining is sticking and releasing or something. It's very strange. Maybe it would wear off, but I'm returning.

Sturdy and supportive, but runs a half size too big. Some rubbing in the arch area. Otherwise a really fun, comfy shoe, with great grippy sole and an adjustable strap.

I think this is one of Jambu's nicest looking designs, a really cute sandal. At first I thought they would be a keeper, but the fit just wasn't right for me. The stitched border right under the flowers really bothered the outside of my larger foot, on the small bunion under my pinkie toe. I'm sure I could have stretched out the shoe in that spot, but when I tried walking around the house a little, I realized both shoes were just flopping up and down on my heel. So somehow, even though the fit was snug in length and width for my larger foot, it still slipped around. I guess the heel area is just too wide for my foot. Sorry to see this go back, but the Bridget is a much better fit for me. Thank you to Zappos for making it so simple to try on at least 10 different sandals in the past 2 weeks!!!

Comfy and cute. Glad I bought them

I love the Jambu brand for a comfort yet stylish travel shoe. I purchased this shoe in Navy and love the detailed stitching that adds interest. The shoe is comfortable from the first moment that you put it on. I would highly recommend this shoe. I purchased it for travel but wear it all the time, even for day hikes.

I really love these shoes! Great color and super cute flower pattern / crisscrossing straps. I ordered the Black Earth which is a very dark brown. The arch support is just right and the memory foam insole makes for comfort all day. I wear a 6.5 or a 7 in other shoes. I ordered a 7 based on the reviews and exchanged them for the 6.5, which fits perfectly. So far my only complaint is that they sound like flip flops when I walk.

Cute shoe, used them on vacation to New Zealand and walked all day with no issues.

As soon as I tightened the strap (velcro), i couldn't get them to feel secure enough on my foot. And even tho they were medium width, they still felt a little boxy. If you have a chubby foot, these would be fantastic. They're a really cute shoe and felt very cushiony inside.

These are so cute. I get lots of compliments. They are wide in across the front of the foot. I wish they were more adjustable. I wear with socks.

These shoes are very well-made, comfortable, and really cute. But it took me 3 tries to get the size right. I usually wear an 8W, but can fit into a regular width if the style has a wide toebox. Following the advice of the reviewers, I ordered up a size, but my feet were swimming in the 8/12 wide I ordered. I re-ordered a regular 8/12, but they were still too wide. I'm settling for the 8B, which are very comfortable, even though the heel still slips on m narrow ankles. These shoes are a godsend for anyone with wide feet, but keep in mind that they are cut extremely wide.

If you already have a pair of Jambu shoes of the old design, you will be sorely disappointed with these. They are more cheaply made and don't fit the same. I am returning them. I asked at a shoe store who used to carry them about this. They don't carry the line because it was sold and the new "alit" is poor.

Very cute style and color goes with everything. However, Velcro strap too loose, memory foam not soft enough and due to loose Velcro, my feet shift and toes go through flowers at the top.

Really wanted to love these. I have hard to fit feet-- the front of my foot is wide and my heel is really narrow. I ordered an 8B. With these, the footbed was really comfy, nothing rubbed on the tops or sides of my toes... but the straps are too loose. I couldn't tighten them enough to keep the shoes on my feet. I walked right out of 'em. So sad to return!

This is a very cute shoe. I ordered my regular size 9.5 medium, but it was way too big and my heel slipped up and down when I walked. I exchanged for a size 9 medium. The length was right, but it was tight on the top right side of my foot where the cross-strap attaches to the shoe. It really pinched. Unfortunately, the wide is not available in a 9 in a color I want. I would love to try to order this shoe again if it becomes available in a 9 wide grey or taupe! I don't know if that would solve the pinching problem, but this is such a cute shoe I'd be willing to give it a try.

Super comfy and cute. Normally I wear a 9.5, but based on re3views I ordered both a 9.5 and 10. The 9.5 fit perfectly. The 10 was huge. Wish they came in more colors.

So cute! Love Jambu shoes but straps too short for my high instep! Went with Charley Encore instead. For a butter-soft leather similar shoe, try Arcopedico Blossom - cute x-strap with flower cutouts. I have those in navy.

I am a solid 9M. This shoe was short. My toes hit the front of the shoe. Also there's really no arch support. Unfortunately they didn't work for me because they are very cute and seem well made.

I love these comfortable shoes. The are very pretty. They give me a cool breeze when the weather starts warming up.

I ordered a size 8 first, since that's what I wear in most shoes, especially with socks. I ended up sending those back and getting a 7.5, and they fit perfectly with bare feet. I have a very high arch, so sometimes the strappy shoes don't work for me, but these do. The memory foam is nice and cushiony, and there is moderate arch support - my feet aren't sore at the end of the day. I put these on right out of the box and wore them for six hours with no rubbing, no sore spots, and no achy feet, knees, or hips afterward. I wanted something to wear instead of a flip-flop for summer, and I think I'm going to love these! They are super cute. I may get a pair in red as well!

Very cute and Jambu quality. They are a bit stiffer than some the the Jambu similar styles. Definitely worth a try.

I liked the color on these, but I think it's for a larger foot than I have. I was swimming in the 9.5s which is the size I usually wear in shoes. My foot is narrower. They are very light weight which makes for a good walking shoe.
