Customer Reviews Blowfish Malibu Play

What has happened to these shoes? I discovered Blowfish sneakers a couple of years ago at a local store. I usually wear a size 9.5, but a 9 fit perfectly. And although there's not enough arch support for my feet, I was able to adjust with inserts. Ever since my first two pair, I haven't had any luck with size 9. Measuring them against my old shoes, they are a full half size smaller. Size 10 is more than half size larger. What the heck has happened? And why on earth doesn't the company make half sizes for 9 and up? I thought I had finally found a reliable shoe, but after trying several pair it's obvious that I won't be wearing these again. I am so disappointed.

The shoes are very stiff. Cute but had to return because they hurt my feet on the inside where the eyelets are.

Very disappointed. I tried these on in a store and was excited to buy them, but they didn't have my size. Ordered online and was really excited to get them. The style is flattering and unique. However, they arrived, I tried them on, changed socks so the shoes weren't so tight, and discovered they were too long and slipped when I walked. Sadly, I'm returning them. Any adjustments (heel thingies, breaking them in over time, etc) is just a cute pair of shoes that didn't fit to start with. So sad.

I didn’t find this style from Blowfish to be as comfortable straight out of the box as I did with others. I wore this pair for a couple of hours without socks and regretted it quickly whereas I was able to do that with their other styles. The toe box also seemed tight. Since I’ve already worn them I’ll keep them but will have to wear thin socks for sure.

Good

These are just as adorable and they look as everyone else has said...but they are a bit larger then a true size. I need the 8 in length, but a 7 1/2 for the width. I wore a pair of silky low cut white socks with them and this helped. Of course with the no laces look, you can't pull this just a tad snugger to make the difference. And, the 'bigness' in the shoe did not run the sock down all day with walking.

Ok

First of all, these are really cute. I slipped them on without a liner (I wouldn’t actually wear them without liners) and they felt loose around the ankles. With liners, they are too tight in the toe box. My feet are narrow and the size 8 - which is my normal size - definitely isn’t going to work. Not sure if I’ll try a half size larger or go to a different style.

Bought these in an 8.5 as I usually wear. These were longer and felt like a size nine. However, they are very narrow in front. They do not have any arch support. Someone mentioned they added laces but this is not possible as the holes and and where the laces would loop are closed off. They are so cute but I am returning them.

When ordering these shoes, Zappos recommended that I purchase a size 9. I normally wear an 8 1/2. I ordered the 9 and they are too wide and sloppy fitting. I think they are true to size, and the 8 1/2 would have worked. I didn't care for the no laces look.

Arrived damaged. Too bad, because I liked them.

Wish these did not have a cut in the toe box, I loved them.

These are such cute shoes, the reason for 2 stars instead of just one but they have no arch support. I have another pair of blowfish shoes and with my insert, they are a little snug so thought I'd go up a size. They were way too big and sliding on my achilles. I knew I could never wear them all day because they would give a blister.

Really cute for inexpensive shoes, but they’re harder than walking on the floor barefoot. Kicking myself for wearing them home, so probably can’t return them, but the other ones I got are going back.

I loved the shoe; however, very hard to get on. You have to have a shoehorn and then its difficult. You could never just slip these on and off.

I liked these however the bottoms are slippery on hard surface flooring.

Super uncomfortable for sneakers. I could not imagine wearing these for more than an hour or two. Loved the look but basically there was NO Arch support or comfortable footbed whatsoever. I would not recommend.

Very narrow, stiff. Very little cushion. They are cute, however

MOst uncomfortable shoes ever. I just wish i could get a little support or arch support. It's like walking on cardboard. And VERY SLIPPERY cardboard. They are such cute shoes. Just not for walking.

It was returned because I did not like the remark on the box, Cancer warning Ca they should let us know before a purchase.

Very cute but soles are slippery so have to return

The shoe was way to narrow for my feet. I felt as if my toes were being squished together. I loved the look of them though. They need to make these in a wide.

Unfortunately the shoes were so narrow in the opening I was not able to even try them on as I couldn't get my foot inside. They were so cute too and I had to give them to one of my friends!

I bought these to wear without socks. These are really hard to slide on and take off and the inside liner comes off every.single.time.

They hurt to wear and rubbed in all the wrong spots for me.
