Customer Reviews Jerusalem Sandals The Good Shepherd - Womens

I absolutely love these sandals. As others have noted, they do require a significant break-in period, but it's well worth the effort. I wore them around the house for about a week to soften the leather, and now they fit like a glove. The quality and craftsmanship are exceptional. The footbed is firm, but supportive, and hits my foot in all the right places. I ordered two different styles from this manufacturer, and they didn't work out at all. But this style is a winner! My foot is a little wide at the top, with a normal heel. I wear a 10.5 and the 42 fits perfectly.

I loved the look of these. Handmade and comfortable looking. The rubber sole gave them more comfort than a hard sole. They fit right out of the box. Leather a little stiff but not uncomfortable. However with my back issues I need more arch support so am sorry to say they have to go back.

This is a cute sandal but it is way too wide. The "recommended" size was much too large (length and width.) The straps are way too wide for someone with a foot that runs on the narrow side. Foot bed is stiff.

I LOVE these sandals. I am an 11 W but took a chance with the med width and was thrilled to find they fit perfectly ! I got them in honey color as I was looking for a more natural sandal and these are now my favs . They look good with shorts or jeans. I did follow the other reviews and break them in as the leather is on the thick side , and I also went to Wallmart and got some leather protector spray on -2 coats , so now no stains or water marks. If you order your size you should be ok, but as I mentioned , mine fit a wide foot, luckily --I love them . from Connecticut , USA

I saw this sandal in a store and when I tried it on, I was surprised by how comfortable it was and how supportive it felt, even though it was flat and did not appear to have much arch support at all. Unfortunately, the left toe ring was bigger than the right, so I passed on those and ordered from Zappo’s, hoping to get a pair that matched more closely. These did. The first thing I noticed about these was that because they had not been tried on by a zillion people in a dept store, they did not immediately have that comfy “fit-your-foot” feeling. I know that will come in time, though. They are great to wear when sports sandals or rubber flip flops just won’t do yet they give off a nonchalantly casual vibe - “Yes, I’m wearing handmade shoes from an exotic foreign country. Hand me another Bud Lite.”

I'm returning these sandals. The leather looks rough at the edges and they aren't nearly as attractive as they look on line. There's no support to them and I refuse to pay over $80 for a pair of glorified flip flops. Not what I expected at all. Very disappointed.

Out of the box they felt very comfortable. I’m usually between a 7.5 and an 8 in shoes (depending on the brand) and I went with 8. These sandals run true to size. My feet are somewhat skinny, but not too narrow, and the straps didn’t gape, except for at my big toe. But I don’t mind that part. They feel good on my feet and I’m excited to wear them!

I really like these sandals. You can wear them with a dress, shirts or pants. Getting them wet will make them even mold to your feet.

I LOVE my new Jerusalem sandels! My foot is on the wider size. I wore them to work today and walked a lot...shoes felt great and look cute too. Very comfortable to wear.

I ordered originally the red color of this style. Loved the color, felt good on immediately. The first two wearings the strap over the foot faded on my feet. I liked them so much I decided to give them three wearings. By the third wearing they no longer faded. I have since ordered two more pair in black and brown. Love them. Only negative for me is that after wearing them all day my little toes felt a little stress. They are very well made and have super comfortable foot bed.

I just discovered this brand of sandals and they are great - comfortable and versatile. I only wish that I had discovered them sooner as most of the colors are sold out. I ordered the 39 first go around to discover that in this sandal I should have ordered the 40 for my size 9 feet. I usually order a 39. Thank you, Zappos, for your incredible service with the exchange. These are great sandals with great service.

Love this type of sandal and know that the leather breaks in and softens. The length of the sandal is true to the size 42 (11). Leather and shoe looked very well made and the color was beautiful. I am returning the sandal because it just feels to wide on my foot. The straps are not snug against the foot and the sandal tends to slop a bit as I walk. Since the leather is going to soften and stretch I felt I should give them a pass.

I love love love these shoes, and wear them almost every day.

Comfortable, look nice.

I really like these sandals, thinking about ordering another pair as the are made very well and appear they will last.

Really happy with these shoes. First purchase of this name brand and they feel comfortable so far. Color, size exactly as indicated in the website. Do wish that had an arch support but, I didn't think they would based on pic's so still good purchase.

Such a big fan of Jerusalem sandals. So well-made and comfortable. I've had several pairs and have worn them non-stop (finally replaced these after my last ones wore out after many summers of use.) These are so classic and timeless with a sundress or denim shorts. The upper is minimal enough on the foot to look elegant, but the sole is just heavy enough that my feet don't hurt. I walked all around NYC in these for 3 summers (gross, maybe, but my feet were happy and I got a lot of compliments!)

I love this sandal. I love the company that is an Israeli/Palestinian “collaboration. The only problem is the second time I wore them, Which was all day, the soles of my feet turned black from the dye of the leather. Very embarrassing

Great sandals! Fit perfectly and look wonderful.

Thrilled to have finally found the gray sandal I've been searching for. Very cute and comfortable. My first pair of Jerusalem sandals but I think I'll be back to look at more.

Just received these last night. I am very pleased with the overall quality of the sandal. The leather is quite thick, and they may need a bit of breaking in time. I have been wearing them around the house for two hours and already they have softened considerably. I will not attempt a day out with them until a few more hours have passed. I personally love the style but I gave these a four star rating because they do have something of a biblical look to them. I love a slip on, but so often as you walk there is a slapping sound, these don't do that! Yea! Overall I would recommend these sandals.

Love, love these. Love the color! Thanks

Overall, these are true to the description, I just decided that they weren’t for me.

Beautiful sandals. Excellent quality leather and loved the colors. A bit stuff out of the box but nothing a few days around the house won’t break in. I am usually between 8 1/2 and 9 I ordered in 8 1/2 and fit great.

These sandals are very cute. I did send them back though because the leather straps that go over the instep were just too big for my narrow foot. There was too much gap between my instep and the leather. Additionally I am a little tender footed for the lack of cushion on the foot bed. But for anyone with wider feet than mine and tougher feet then mine the quality of the leather and construction was very high.
