I ordered the Wolky Rio in brown. The color was nice and finish not too shiny - looked better than the online photo. The leather was soft. However, the fit was not quite right. I was comparing the Rio to the Wolky Jewel, a similar style that fits my somewhat narrow foot well, and is good for walking for several hours. Even though the styles are similar, the Rio was less supportive. It didn't fit my foot as well, even with the Velcro straps adjusted. I'll stick to the Jewel - wish there were more color choices.

Own Wolky Jewel--very cute and comfortable. The Rio-a very similar style but can't adjust straps in same way. The black patent very shiny and looked liked cheap plastic. Returned.

These walking sandals are very comfortable and attractive AND they come in size 44! The workmanship is excellent. I wore them for the first time all day and because of the ability to adjust the heel and toe straps, my foot didn't slip at all, and the width remained constant without any foot slop. I would recommend them and buy them again.

I recommend these for people with a forefoot that is wider with a narrower heel. Quality is excellent and they are really comfortable. I sent them back because like most normal shoes, they are flexible and I need a shoe that is more rigid. But they also can accommodate bunions.

Although I usually need a 42 for my long, narrow foot, the chart let me know to order a 43. Barely made it! My foot takes the entire length, so I wish the shoes were about 1/4" longer, but I think they will be okay. The multi-black is flattering and looks perky, which is unusual for a natural heel height shoe. The colors and style go with almost everything but will be especially nice with black pants or almost any color of skirt or dress slacks. When I first put these on, they felt a little hard, but as I kept wearing them, the insole began to soften and conform to my foot. My husband isn't a fan of my "klunky" shoes, but he likes these a lot.

I love Wolky sandals. This is my second pair. I got the multi-colored style and I've gotten so many compliments on them. They are amazingly comfortable for walking. The first time I wore them I was at the the zoo for 4 hours with no foot fatigue. I always wear them in the house first for several hours to make sure they are okay. At first I was unsure as they felt quite stiff, but as I wore them they softened up and now are great!

Beautiful color in these multi crash Rios. The leather is very soft and I love that all the straps are adjustable. The sole is super comfortable - I have fairly high arches, and these shoes are very supportive. Also I have a big tie that doesn’t flex much (hallux limitus), and these shoes have enough rocking motion that I don’t feel pain in my toe. Very happy with my purchase.

Own & love Wolky sandals..very comfortable sandal..good for walking & anyone with foot issues looking for a comfortable summer option. Rio is a good & comfortable sandal. However, the Black Patent Metallic (only choice available in my size) is stiff,very shiny and has an odd chemical/or plastic smell. Unfortunately, I have to return them.

Wow! The quality of this shoe is very high and it is just beautiful. The material on the Multi Black Crash color is FABULOUS! The comfort is there too---plenty of cushion, good support, ideal firmness of the sole. The fit wasn't right for me and I think it's a matter of the design and my feet being incompatible. For the right person, this could be stellar. Call me shallow, but I was *this* close to keeping these even though they didn't really fit well, simply because they are so beautiful and well made. But, I do have a modicum of sense and knew that at this price, I'd be annoyed with myself if I did. These got returned, though I'm determined to one day have a perfect -for-me pair of Wolkys.

I would like a little more length to the Velcro near the d rings to adjust them tighter. The width of the shoe feels right, but I have to tighten the straps such that the Velcro ends. Very comfortable for walking.

The fit was fine, all three straps are adjustable so it is a great choice for someone with narrow feet...but the hard material of the patent leather is never going to be comfortable....for this price if a shoe is not comfortable and wearable right out of the box...I don't want it.

These black patent shoes are absolutely perfect for me. Size as expected. Love that the whole shoe is adjustable. Comfy. I couldn't tell by the photo on this site that the lower 1/8" of the sole is a medium grey. Just the right bit of difference to keep the shoe from being totally black and heavy looking. AND delivered directly to my door...what more could a gal ask for? If you've never worn Wolky shoes, let me tell you that the form fitting insole is amazing!

These are the most comfortable shoes I have worn! The arch support is excellent, they are true to size and they give you a little height thanks to their almost 2 inch wedge heels. I have a pair "Jewel" style. I love them but they are getting old and worn out, so I decided to buy another pair. I chose the "Rio" which it's similar in style but slightly different. I like them as well. They are comfortable, stylish and can be worn for any occasion. i highly recommend them!

Wolky shoes are pricey but they are worth it in terms of comfort particularly if one has a high arch and high instep, as I do. They have made improvements in the sole. I bought two pairs of Wolky sandals several years ago and last year the soles completely broke into pieces and I had to throw them away. It is very difficult to find a dark navy color in a comfort sandal so I gave the Rio another try. The current sole is cushiony and has a layer of some kind of tough material on the bottom which, I hope, will make the sole last longer.

I ordered these in the metallic red and as usual Wolky came through with flying "colors". I love everything about this shoe. Cannot wait to wear when warm weather gets here. This is not my first pair of Wolky and it won't be my last.

Wolky and Zappos never disappoint me! I love the color. The fit is perfect and the shoe, as always with Wolky, is so comfortable! I look forward to wearing them as soon as this weather warms up!

I ordered the Black patent Rio when I had an i jury to my big toe— was already a fan of Wolky, but because it had been eight years since my last Wolky purchase the sizing had worn off in my “very loved” silver metallic pair that saw me through a trip to Greece. I ordered a sz 40 and 41 for my sz 9 feet. The 41 fits like a glove and I plan to throw on a pair of socks even if the snow flies early, this fall! Love my Rios- comfortable right out of the box, and the patent striking! Love Zappos even more!!
