Customer Reviews Arcopedico Galapagos

I love Arcopedico shoes and already have many different styles. I already had the Galapagos in black. I have a high arch and so many other sandal styles just do not work for high arches. These are stylish without sacrificing comfort. I wear a 7 or 7.5 shoe as I have gotten older so I do go up in size to the 38 with Arcopedico.

I love these sandals! No break in--I wore them to an outdoor wedding 2 days after they arrived and felt cool, comfortable, with no foot pain whatsoever! I wear Arcopedico almost exclusively because all other shoes hurt my damaged left foot nerves. The padding, the arch support, the material they are made of (they appeared to be textured leather from afar, but they are all vegan and washsable)--these are a few of my favorite things about these sandals. They go with jeans, and with the pretty pink dress I wore to the wedding. The velcro works well, although for my skinny feet, the straps at the top are a little long. I am trying to fix that before they "turn out" and look funky. I usually wear a 41, but I am returning that size. I ordered the 40s and they fit perfectly. I highly recommend the Galapagos and Arcopedico shoes. Once you try a pair, they will be your go-to shoes forever!

I have a hard time finding sandals that fit properly but these do. Even though I have a wide foot, the Velcro straps still have plenty of strap left after I fasten them. They look great and are light on the foot and comfortable as soon as you put them on. Glad I finally found this brand as I am sure I will be buying more from them.

I absolutely love these shoes! So incredibly comfortable, I could wear them all day. And the fact that the front strap is velcro (as well as the ankle strap) means that they are fully adjustable to fit my narrow feet. So cushiony and comfortable, well-fitted, and cute - and vegan too! (and supposedly washable, that's nuts!) I will definitely be ordering more shoes from this company.

These sandals are gorgeous and the footbed feels very natural with a perfect amount of support. They did feel overall small, though, so that my toes would go over the front edge of the shoe. I always wear 36 sandals - 5.5 is too small, 6 is too large - but these felt 1/4 inch too short. Similar in style to Spring Step Komarra which I also liked and they are only $69. I would go with Komarra.

They are to large plus the straps seemed to poke and make the wearing uncomfortable.

These sandals have beautifully padded soles but no arch support. The sole is also quite narrow, so while you can adjust the width by using the straps, my M-width feet hung over the edges. As a result, these sandals feel flimsy and provide little to no support.

Extremely comfortable, can be worn all day. Both straps are adjustable. I would prefer if the Velcro closing on the straps were a bit longer - when I tighten the straps to fit my foot, the Velcro overlaps too much, so although I can adjust the straps to fit, the ends of the straps are not connected to the Velcro.

I read the reviews and ordered the Zappos recommended size 39. I usually wear a 40. These are a perfect fit but barely. My longer foot is just short of running off the end. They are also narrow. I have a narrow foot and the footbed is not quite as wide as my feet. This may be because they are on the smallish side. However, I am happy overall with the fit, the look, the very cushy insoles, and that they are "waterproof" since we are likely to be in a lot of late afternoon rains on vacation. I do have some concerns, mentioned by someone else, that the ends of the straps may curl over time because of the longer overlap since my feet are narrow. I may well order a second pair in another color once I've given these more of a try.

Very comfortable right out of the box.

Minimal need to break in. Started wearing instantly. A+ would wear again.

love this brand for style and arch support but no arch support in this shoe.

These are gorgeous sandals. They've got all the support and comfort of clunky sandals, BUT they look elegant and delicate. They are a new style, and a superb style. I have them in beige and dark blue. The only problem was that a bit of velcro escaped the stitching and created a scratchy irritation off one of the straps, but the filaments were easily snipped off with toenail scissors, and the scratch is gone. This was only on one pair. I have a chronic injury in one ankle, so I've found I can ONLY wear Arcopedicos, and only this particular sole and heel height, so I'm very grateful for this beautiful sandal.

I like these sandals. (They just arrived today and I've yet to wear them but - on trying them on - they feel and look good). I'm not completely sure how the velcro fastening will endure since I've had no experience w/ such. It's so hard to find really comfortable sandals w/ both arch support and back strap that are vegan. Arcopedico has come through again.

These would be my go-to sandals if I didn't have neuropathy that makes the soles of my feet super-sensitive. The padding in the insoles of these shoes hit in areas that would work on normal feet but not on mine.

Classic sandal, beautiful in red. Sadly, my foot is too wide for it.

I would've liked a bit more arch support. Combined with the fact that the ankle straps didn't quite fit me (had to make front one too tight to keep heel strap high enough) I returned these.

Returning...just a little too frumpy. (Very comfy however).

The material was very rough and scratchy and uncomfortable on my feet.
