This was my 1st Calypso Jambu comfort shoe. I have a bunion and hammer toe on both feet and these shoes are fantastic! I'm a nurse and can wear these all day long. Only thing I had to do is return for one half a size larger. I had the greatest salesperson who sent me my corrected order in 2 days!These do not look clunky and look great with a skirt. Hope this will help someone with foot problems like myself!

Sadly returning these shoes? I have narrow feet and the shoes are too loose. They are not hit-the-ground-running comfy like my last pair of jambs. Super cute, tho, I really love them, just not the fit on my skinny foot.

I've been wearing Jambu for years- another comfy, right out of the box. I have wide feet, bunion and plantar fasciitis, even more comfy than my running shoes! They do stretch so I wear the average width even though my feet are a bit wide. Size 9. I receive compliments frequently. I own several colors and the grey is so trendy right now. I work in a hospital and I love these shoes for their professional style , their nonskid soles and no clicky heels up and down the hospital hallways. 5 stars from me! Thanks Jambu and thanks Zappos!

My feet gave this a 10. Right out of the box, without hose, and off I went. No interference with my bunions & a solid footing experience. Easy on/off for airports. They are "Ab-Fab" for me.

I should have gone up a half size. The 9.5 just did not fit. They're very stylish looking though.

I really liked this shoe a lot--and I have a thing for red, so i bought it in red. The heel has a nice decorative touch. I think they would have been VERY comfortable on my wide-toe, narrow-heel, high-instep shoe. But the pair I bought had a defective strap--the one on the right shoe didn't lie flat. Plus I sent for five different pair at once, and I decided there is a different shoe I like better. I will try this brand again, though. This shoe would work well with skirts as well as jeans, and seems quite walkable while also having a heel and a platform for height.

I purchased these shoes in black to wear at the office. I have wide feet and found these to be very comfortable. The velcro straps make them easy to put on quickly. The memory foam footbed is nice & comfy.

I absolutely LOVE these shoes! Even though I read the reviews regarding the sizing, I still ordered my normal size 8, and they're just a tad short but they don't bother at all. I'm one of those that runs between the half sizes, so I figured it would be fine. The comfort and style are the two items I like the most. I'm in the health field and on my feet most of the day. My feet feel great at the end of the shift! Styling is ultimate in cute. Can go work, can go school, can go out with a cute pair of jeans. I am constantly getting comments on them. I want the black ones now!

Cute, cute Jambu Calypso! They are 5s all around. Another pair of great Jambu shoes that are stylish for 50-something woman, and comfortable right out of the box. And, you can't beat Zappos for speedy delivery!

I wear a 8, but with Jambu you never know till you try them on. In this case, I had to return the 8 and get an 8.5. Very comfortable shoe and the grey is a great neutral color that will go with everything. If you like Jambu shoes, you will love this one. I don't find them clunky like the previous reviewer.

I loved this shoe! It is so cute and seems like it would also be so comfortable. Unfortunately I am returning it because of the color. I wanted a grey summer shoe and this "grey" color seems to be more of an odd, olive, beige type color. It did not even look good with my grey pants. So back it goes. I usually wear a 10N and this 9.5 M seems like it fit pretty good.

This is a very cute shoe, and the footbed is really comfortable. They are a little wide; this works okay with the Mary Jane style and for a casual, summer shoe. I love the flowered heel.

Too small!
Difficult to find the correct size with Jambu shoes. They look great, but sizes are a nightmare.

I'm returning to write an updated review to hopefully help someone else not make the same mistake and waste their money. I started off buying a size 8, it felt very snug so I exchanged it for a 8.5. Big mistake! These shoes will stretch and now they are that 1/2" too big which makes them chafe my heel. Please wear them for a while in the house before you decide they are too small.

Great looking shoe that was comfortable width-wise across the toes, but too loose in the heel, and a bit shorter than expected. If the heel fit better (more snug), I would have ordered a half size larger.

These are super clunky. The arch support was great but I agree with the toe box being too small - and I have narrow feet and small toes. Returned.

This is a really cute shoe, but it runs small. I ordered a1 0M and it is just too snug on my big toe and that's with nails cut closely. I wore them all day and I cannot keep them. I hate when that happens. They felt fine when I put them on this morning. I wore them a little before going out because I was sure I'd be happy. I may try a 10.5 if they have it and maybe an 11 if not.The Memory Foam bed of the shoe is very comfortable the way it hugs your feet. But you will need to go up at least a half size for a comfortable fit and more if you want to wear socks.
