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.

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.

These are so cute -- I really like them (in red). I ordered two pair: my normal 7 wide and a 7.5 wide. I ended up keeping my regular size with hopes they stretch out a titch. I think they would be perfect in a 7.25 wide. ?? I haven't worn them for any duration, but I suspect they will be comfy after a hopefully short break-in period. I might come back for a black pair if we have a successful relationship.

This shoe is very well made but a bit boxy looking for my taste. It also ran large in width and I could feel my foot sliding around inside the shoe. Cut outs are cute.

I own a pair of the Bridgetts and thought this would be a nice addition in a different color. It did not fit the same way. Unfortunately, theses shoe pinched my toes, so I am returning them. They were really cute though. Cuter than the Bridgett.

I had to send the first pair back as they were too big, I had followed some of the reviews but these are try to size from my perspective. Initially I could feel the inside of the cut outs, but that did not last long. These shoes are very comfortable and really cute. I am very happy.

I'm conflicted. They are super cute, get lots of compliments. But my red size 10 is too big now and makes noise when I walk (did the memory foam make it seem the right size originally) and I got blue ones in 9 1/2 hoping it would be a better fit and it is a bit better but not totally comfortable. Super cute style, just not for long walking days.

I had a previous pair of the blossom style that was not leather and I wore them into the ground so naturally I wanted another pair. These are constructed slightly differently, and sadly provide no arch support. I have plantar fasciitis and thought these would be great since the previous pair were so comfortable. Sadly they are going back. I had simultaneously ordered a pare of the Jambu Bel-Air, which are ridiculously comfortable. I am exchanging these for a black pair in the Bel-Air style. These look beautiful but just not comfortable enough for me.

I own another pair of 9.5 Jambu that I love. Holding the two pairs sole to sole, this shoe was approximately 1/4 inch longer. My other pair is Medium width (these are wide)--but I would have expected them to be same length. Returning for 1/2 size smaller.

Really nice looking shoes, and would be great in warm weather if you expect to be on your feet for awhile. However, they run a little large, so when I tried them on, my toes would poke through and catch on the holes. I may reorder in smaller size, but for now, sending back.

Comfortable straight out of the box, unlike other shoes from this brand I have owned. Super cute. Runs a bit large and wide; wish they came in a 5.5! They make slapping noises when I walk due to being a bit too big, but the straps have been keeping them on my feet and it's not an issue if I wear socks with them in colder spring temperatures.

These are beautifully made, cute shoes and I'm disappointed to have to return them. The sizing was a mystery--tried a 6.5 and it was much too long and too wide. (Only one of the cross straps is adjustable.) Then I ordered a 6, and could barely get my foot into it (width was okay, however). My review shows that I selected "felt true to size," but this is just because I couldn't select both "felt larger" and "felt smaller." This sizing problem doesn't make sense to me--the size 6.5 felt like at least a 7, and the size 6 felt smaller than any 6 I've ever worn. I have another pair of Jambus in a 6.5 that fit fine. It's almost as if the shoes were mislabeled.

I loved the style and the comfort of the foot bed of this shoe but they were too short. I wear an 11 so there was no way to order a larger size. So disappointed that I needed to send back.

Cute and comfy. But I decided to go with a different shoe. They were a bit too wide for my narrow feet. Sometimes I can wear M width, sometimes not.

I have these shoes in another color and absolutely love them, but for some reason this pair smells terrible! I have heard that vegan leather sometimes has an odd smell, but I did not experience this with my other pair. I hope it disappears because I really like the shoes and already threw away my shipping box to exchange them. :(

Disappointing sizing from Jambu; narrow shoes and especially in the toe box. I typically wear between a 6 and a 6.5 B. In this case, the 6.5 was too snug, and I needed to send them back. But cute shoes and I think the comfort level would be good if you have a narrow foot.

I liked the look of the shoes, but the back of the shoe rubbed against my heel. so I have to send it back. I did keep another Jambu style that had a bit of padding on the back of the heel.

This shoe in a size 10 was almost 3/4" longer than my other shoes in size 10 or European 40/41. Since it was so big, the footbed felt uncomfortable because it wasn't aligned with the arch of my foot. Otherwise it's a cute shoe.
