Customer Reviews Columbia Barraca Strap

I am a size 10 in everyday life. There are no ifs or buts about it. So when i read the dozens of reviews warning folks to order a size down, I ignored them. Oops. I returned my size 10 and ordered a size 9. An 8.5 would actually be perfect but not available and an 8 would likely be too small... My foot does slide slightly towards the back but my heel does not fall out/off the shoe. COMFORTABLE!? Oh my. These are so comfy it is a dream walking in them. I ordered red and grey. Love them. Highly recommend these shoes but trust me, listen to us all and order a size down.

I had to order a size smaller, very comfortable loved the second pair!

I wear a size 9. I got a size 8 after I returned the first pair. 8 is still a little large, but I'm keeping them.

These sandals are extremly comftable and have a good grip on the sole. I wore them kayaking and they were perfect! I typically wear a size 8.5 but ordered a 8 because I read they run large.. could of went with a 7 and still been ok.

My narrow heel, low arch, and wide toe do not sit centered in this shoe. These sandals are very comfortable, although the elastic band does pinch the little toe. My feet get pushed back and slightly out of alignment in the footbed, probably because the 7 is still a bit large for my size 7-1/2 to 8 foot. I am afraid the 6 would be just too tight across the toes. Always a problem with whole-size-only shoes. Keeping them for occasional wear since they are comfortable to walk in, and won't be harmed if worn in the rain or the water. If you have a slim foot these might look as nice on as they do in the picture.

Nice waterproof sandal with good sole

They are comfy but needed to go size up for arch to fit comfortably. But they are extremely slippery when wet - I slid out of shoe multiple times. :(

These sandals are so adorable, I wanted to like them so badly. But like other reviewers, I found the sizing to be overly complex. I'm typically a 7.5, but after reading others' experiences I decided to go for the 6 instead of 7. The footbed is incredibly comfortable and seemed just right for my foot, but the elastic wrapping kept pushing my foot backward on the shoe - essentially resulting in all footbed at the front and my foot hanging off the back. I couldn't walk more than three steps in true comfort. So, sadly, back they go.

I love these sandals so much, they are very cute and comfy but they are gigantic... I normally wear a size 6, but after reading the reviews I ordered a size down, and they are still way too large. My feet are swimming in it and whenever I am walking my feet keep sliding backwards. So disappointed, not even sure I will be able to wear them at all and 5 is the smallest size available... Not sure what happened on the design with this shoe, measurements are not an elastic concept!

the sizing is a little large. and the base is wide awkwardly so... the straps go into the shoe but then there is the remainder.. i would have exchanged them for a smaller size but I would not have liked that the strap is not very close to the edge of the shoe.

Verry comfortable and soft. Great product.

These sandals looked so cute, but I was disappointed that the elastic was very loose around the ankle and the fit was not true to size. Runs extremely large.

I purchased this after trying them on in the store and thinking, "Wow, these feel amazing!" Granted, I wear a size 7.5-8. I tried an 8 and laughed at how huge they were. Then I tried a 7 and thought, these must be mis-marked. Then I tried a 6 and they seemed to fit perfectly. So yeah, 1.5-2 sizes too big. But so soft and squishy in the footbed that I had to get them. I put them on when I got home and just wore them around the house, but they kept slipping off my feet by sliding forward. Sadly, they just weren't going to work for me. They looked really cute, they felt wonderful, but if I can't even wear them around the house- surely, I can't wear them out.

I ordered an 8. I often wear a size 9. The shoe was still at least 1" too large. Ridiculous.

that these sandals were as good as the photo. After reading the reviews, I ordered a full size smaller than my usual 9. Alas, to my great disappointment, they were still way too large and sloppy on the foot. There was no way they would work for even a short stroll, no less a long walk. The footbed extends quite a bit out from the elastic straps, making for an awkward look, and an even more awkward fit. They might work on a very wide foot. Back to the drawing board on this one.

I honestly do not recommend it, your leg slips at every step and slips in the back - you have the impression that your foot falls

Not true to size and difficult to put on

These run large and wide and when I wear them the strap around my ankle continually tightens while the part around my foot loosens. Sigh. I wanted them to work and they are very well made but just not a good idea.
