Customer Reviews Jambu Blossom Encore

I bought these shoes in "Black Earth," expecting based on the name and pictures to get a pair of all black shoes. However, they are really black and deep brown.

The shoes were very cute. The sizing is crazy. The 91/2 were too big, the 9's were too small. They even came in different sized shoe boxes. When put side by side there was a large difference in size. I would have kept them if they fit.

Super cute shoes. However they were not comfortable at all. I originally ordered an 8.5. They were way too big and my feet kept slipping up and down like I was wearing a flip flop. Returned them for a size 8. They fit better but were not comfortable. My 4th toe on both feet kept getting stuck in the holes around the flowers. Was not a comfortable feeling at all. I have another pair of Jambu shoes that I love and are super comfortable so I am not discounting the brand in any way. I am sad these didn’t work out for me as they are super cute.

I am sad that I can't give these shoes a good review. I have a somewhat narrow heel but normally with a strap I have not problems. However, this shoe is so lose on the heel even with the strap that it sounds as though I'm wearing flip-flops. They are so cute but such a disappointment.

I ordered this shoe a half size larger than usual per the reviews. It is still too small. Also it overall hurt my feet. This is not a very soft and comfortable shoe. It is very cute and stylish but the comfort and sizing are all wrong.

this shoe felt as it would rub my feet, very cute but I return it.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

This was my first time ordering this brand. Very cute shoe and I ordered my usual size 8W which gave me plenty of length and room in the toebox. But my wide feet could barely get stuffed into the wide size and I sent them back and will not be ordering a Jambu brand again. Their sizing is not built for my feet.

I went down a 1/2 size so the shoe fit a little big. After 2 days, the shoe had stretched and the velcro strap curled and almost was unable to be fastened. They were very comfortable.

These are absolutely adorable...and they didn't fit. The right shoe was shorter than the left, and badly rubbed the ends of my toes. I was so disappointed to send them back because they're just the cutest shoes ever and would have been perfect if they had fit.

Having read what others said about the fit of this shoe, I ordered a size larger than my usual. It still is not big enough. Short, short toe box. Could not possibly wear them. And the leather is curiously stiff. Not what I was looking for, at all. Back they go.

I’m really disappointed in this shoe. It started out too tight and then the leather straps stretched out way too far right away and with them pulled tighter to fit they overshoot the Velcro so they have to be loose. I even put thick inserts in them but still the same issue. And the rub raw over my toes uncomfortably. I’ve only worn these 5 times and I’m unhappy that it was a waste of money. I have other similar shoes from Jambu and they dont last well. I really expect more quality for my money.

So sad! I ordered 6 pair of shoes (all flats / various brands), and wanted these to be the ones to keep. They are so cute! I have another pair of Jambu mary janes and love them! Unfortunately....This pair had many things wrong with them (hopefully this was one faulty pair and the rest of the Jambus are still amazing). The memory foam footbed appeared to have an arch, but there was no support under the foam, which made it feel almost concave when I walked. The foot bed liner "crackled" when pressure was applied with your finger or foot. Sounded like the adhesive would catch and then un-stick. When walking in the shoes, it felt as if my heel was being pushed toward the toe of the shoe. Almost like the heel part of the foot bed was a little higher than the rest of the foot bed, like something was under there. It also hurt my heel when I walked, like there was a rock in my shoe. I will continue to search for a great pair of Jambu shoes. I hope this was a fluke, and the others are constructed with the quality of the others I have worn.

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.

I wore these for only a short time and one of the straps broke. I would not order from this brand again. I ordered two style from the same brand and the fit was completely different. I expect a shoe I pay $100 for to last longer than a few wearings.

Beautiful shoes, fit like a dream. I got the color called "Black Earth," and it is and awful, awful brown. They're going back.

I was really looking forward to this shoe because I have another pair of Jambu shoes. However I was really disappointed. They were very uncomfortable all the away around from the soles to the top strap area. Cute shoe but not comfortable .

Sorry, but of all the Jambu shoes I have, this one is most uncomfortable to me. It hurts my heel (the height of the tab) and it is tight across the top of the foot. There are a couple places where it just rubs and I am sorry to have to return it. I hope that another navy Jambu comes out.

Cute shoe. One of the straps was loose fitting with no adjustment whereas the other strap could be adjusted with velcro. This resulted in a sloppy fit. Plus, my toenails caught on the different layers of leather in the toebox. I got these shoes to wear without socks, so this was a problem with every step.
