Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic Sneak

I purposely ordered this sneaker a half size larger than my usual Sorel size 9, because I use orthotics. Dang, this shoe is sleek and modern, and dare I say, artsy! I got the “dove” color with the red tab on the heel. Super cute! I didn’t have much trouble putting them on, as I have a flattish, low profile foot. I’ll enjoy wearing these with leggings, skinny or wide-leg jeans, or even a modern print flowy midi dress!

I bought these for a school trip to DC, hopefully they are comfortable!! I usually wear an 8 or 8.5, so I ordered both sizes ( in quarry), and the 8 fit great! They are great looking, very stylish, a little stiff on the first wear, but hoping they break in. I read where some had trouble slipping these on, I slipped they on with socks pretty easily and I have a very high arch, hope that helps! I'm bringing my Hoka's with me too, because they are so comfortable!!

I had a hard time getting them on! I really struggled. Because of this, I'm returning them. Once they were finally on (loop helped but is small and felt like it might break if I pulled too hard), the fit was good and they were comfortable. The white jagged bottom, which I thought would look a little too strange for me possibly, was actually really cute. Wish they were a little more stretchy in the back to make getting them on easier.

I own many pairs of Sorels, slip on booties, lace up booties - both short and knee-high, traditional snow boots, sandals. I love the styling, durability and that I can wear them all winter in Utah and my feet stay warm and dry. Here's my beef with these sneaks (as well as the Joan of Arctic Wedge II buckle). They are so hard to get on. It's like wrestling your foot into the shoe. Same thing with the Wedge (insert eye roll). Two hands are required, the loops to help you pull the shoe on are too small for my fingers. After months of wearing the booties I still have to wrestle them on. That being said, once they are on they fit great and are wearable for the duration of a day. Here's the other weird thing about Sorel, I vacillate between a 7.5 and size 8. In the booties/boots I'm a 7.5 in the sneakers I'm an 8. In most shoes I wear an 8. While Zappos makes this easy to overcome with fast shipping & free returns, it's kind of a pain never knowing what size to order. The sneaks are comfortable and in the larger size I feel the toe box area is roomy just the right amount. The velco straps over the top of the shoe are adjustable and feel pretty good either loosened or tightened down.

Love the styling of these sneakers! Unfortunately there is no arch support which i can no longer live without.

Loved the shoe was a little short on my foot so I sized up. The size up was too big. Great looking shoe and comfortable. Wished it had fit me. I do recommend this shoe.

This is a beautiful shoe, very elegant for a sneaker. The only negative is that it's hard to get on because the tongue has no give at all so it's a struggle. That's why I rated it a 4 instead of 5. Having said that, though, I'll struggle to get it on because it's gorgeous!

I had never tried Sorel before. I saw these on another gal while at a clinic and wanted to try a pair. Was fortunate my daughter was with me and knew the brand. So went online to Zappos and found them. Really love the style. I am a 7 1/2 or an 8. I ordered the 8 and would not have wanted it any shorter. The gray fabric with the gold straps is very attractive. Overall....loved them!

I wanted to love these, but was looking for an easy slip-on shoe and these were super difficult to get on! Once on they were super comfy and look great, but they're just not gonna work for my pregnant self ?

I was so disappointed when i got it, it came with out sorel box and it seems like it was used a little bit and returned! I was expecting to receive a shoes with a perfect condition. So I returned it and ordered another one from a different store.

Love the look, but these are almost impossible to get on! They should include a shoehorn in the order. I'm returning them, sadly.

I really wanted to like this shoe, but I just didn't think it was very comfortable. The strap across the foot kind of dug in and was hard to get just right. Also, the sole looks really cushy in the picture, but in actuality, it didn't offer much support. Bummer.

Material is comfortable. Finger loops r too small and not helpful making putting on shoes a chore. Velcro is easy for securing but point of support is slightly high--would be more comfortable it was attached lower in arch. Was hoping for more arch and heel support. Definitely for fashion only, not function. Would not use for all day use. Feet are sore by midday. Styling concept is great! Waterproof spray can make these all weather shoes.

Great shoe. Love SOREL but my feet a little too narrow.

Should have listened to other reviews in that I COULD NOT EVEN GET THEM ON! Chipped my nail polish and finally wrangled one on. But I do like the style so much and they felt really comfy once they were on (though the black pair felt tighter than the camouflage color...) that I'm going to try half a size up and see if they don't slide on better. Agree the finger hole WAY too small, so not helpful. I would have expected better from Sorel!

I'll never know how this would have fit because I couldn't get my foot (high instep) into it.

I don't know why these got so many great reviews. First of all, I couldn't get them on. I don't want to have to struggle with a strap. I was hoping my foot could slip in but it couldn't. So I can't really speak to comfort of the shoe. And I agree with everyone who mentioned that they couldn't get their finger through the pull tab on the heel. No help there. I bought the black and they have this weird spotted pattern that I thought looked cheap. The strap seemed clunky and not at all fashionable. I thought they looked pointy at the tip and ugly all around. For reference, I was hoping to replace Nike RN as a decent black sneaker that wasn't a running shoe. I wear Sorrel snow boots, so I thought these might work. Not for me at all.

Super durable. Easy to put on. Gets compliments consistently, I’d buy again.

Great shoe for traveling. Comfortable, supportive and stylish.

TRUE TO SIZE, FEELS GREAT AND COMFORTABLE.

A dream to wear all day walking about. My go to shoe this whole winter for exercise, days in NYC, shopping, you name it. Love them, wish for more colors.

Love the look… Classed up my workout outfits tremendously. I get lots of compliments, well worth the money… Zappos was cheaper than Nordstroms

So comfortable! True to fit but a bit snug to put on at first. Definitely a keeper!

After years of searching I finally found the ones!!!. These are hands down the most comfortable shoes. I’m on my feet walking back and forth for 3 hours straight everyday. These feel wonderful. I bought them because I needed a shoe that provides support, I have a bad back, but don’t I didn’t want some that look like ones my grandma would wear. These fit the bill. They are super stylish and quite snazzy. They match and spice up every outfit. I just love a great buy!!!
