Here are my pros/cons of the shoe: Pros: - SO COMFORTABLE! The straps are soft and supple -- you will not get any types of blisters from these. There is ample nice padding on the foot sole -- it feels like you're walking on clouds. And they're cute! I got the white/silver combination, and it's adorable. I was afraid of the shoes getting dirty, but they wipe clean pretty easy. Cons: Slippery. The tread on the bottom of the shoe is not awesome. On a waxed or recently cleaned tile floor (like you encounter in many restaurant bathrooms), these shoes have NO traction and you will slide. Literally. You will be skating on the floors and holding on to rails for dear life. I bought these to travel to Costa Rica/Honduras, and many of the businesses had these types of floors meaning it was virtually impossible to wear them out. ALSO! These are no way water proof, so don't get caught in any rainstorms.

Love the look of this sandal and the kettle color. Only issue is that the elastic is tight for me but I have been wearing them around the house to help "stretch the elastic straps".

I ordered the brown and black. Loved the style, but too tight on my feet. I do not have plump feet, but the elastic straps were very snug. Also the band across the toes, was plenty snug although it may have stretched being leather. Sadly, these won't work for me. LOve zappos's return policy though! I will order something else.

My foot would slide forward despite the tight straps (I didn't feel the straps were too tight personally). I have long toes and narrow feet and medium arch. i used to be an 8 in sandals but as i,ve gotten older i'm becoming more of an 8.5 and am also size 39 in most euro sizes. I often have issues with my foot sliding forward and off the sandal. These seemed like they would have been comfortable. I bought these in a size 9. They were a little too long but i didn't love the style enough to exchange for another size

I ordered my regular size 8 and a half size up, after reading the reviews. The straps fit great on my skinny feet and moderate arch, which was exciting because this style of sandal is usually wayyyy too loose. These felt very secure, not too tight. But even on the 8.5, the footbed was too short. My toes were right on the stitching which could be annoying, but worse, I was worried about ugly toe overhang when I was walking around all day. I'm hoping the 9 fits better, because they are cute and seem comfortable.

Super cute and comfortable. Sandal runs small, which I’m surprised about. I ordered a 10.5 (normal size in all shoes) and my toes were almost hanging over the edge. I’ll be exchanging for an 11.

I have a narrow foot and finding AA width in shoes/sandals/boots is next to impossible. Zappos is great in that respect....they have a large selection of narrow shoes . However, styles in AA are not the nicest or most stylish. I saw these and based on reviews, they ran somewhat narrow so I bought them. Nope! Not narrow enough. The straps did hold my foot in place, but the part over the toes were too big. In addition, I didn't care for the high backs which I know are stylish, but not very comfortable. If you are a true medium width, you might want to give them a try as they are nice looking sandals. Those with wide or narrow feet......fuhgettaboutit! Zappos is the best!

Unlike the other reviewers I did not find this sandal narrow at all, and normally width is a concern for me. Oddly, the width feels perfect. I found that the closed heel and elastic strap combination pushed my foot forward a bit so I order up a half size so that my toes would not be right at end. Also, the stitching around the front of the insoles a little irritating to my toes. But overall cute, versatile, and more comfortable than most sandals, so I'll keep these until I find that sandal 'unicorn.'

I have a narrow foot and find that many sandals do not have a snug fit on me like they should. I love these because they do fit snugly in the right places and the sole of the shoe is soft and comfortable. Sadly, I have to return because the stitching on the foot bed is either too coarse or is just raised enough that I can feel it rubbing under my toes.

Cute and fairly comfortable. However, they definitely run small; both in length and width (in the forefoot strap).

These shoes are beautifully constructed, and the soles are very comfortable for walking. However, the straps are quite tight, which becomes more noticeable the longer you wear them. I would recommend going a half size larger. I'm hoping the material will stretch out a little with wearing them more frequently.

I had doubts about the width of this shoe, but I ordered anyway. I do have a more narrow foot. I ordered my regular size (10M) and they fit as expected. The elastic band keeps the sandal seated perfectly. As for the width, I can still fit an entire finger between my foot and the strap on the front, so I wouldn't say they run very narrow. As for the color, I chose the kettle which is slightly darker than pictured online. But a great neutral.

The product is suuuper cute, but the strap closest to the toes were too narrow. They cut off the feeling to my toes. They're so cute, so im going to try a size 10 in hopes it's wider!

I've had these for about a month. I've always been a 9.5 in Sorel, which has always given me the extra room I like. This shoe in 9.5 is tight with no forgiveness. My toes are right to the end and the heel is tight. I'd definitely size up when ordering these. Also, while these are adorable, the elastic isn't as flexible on swelling feet as I had hoped.

I ordered the Dove in my size and the elastic bands were so tight, so I gave them to my daughter who is a full size down. Then I ordered in white 1/2 size up. The white came and fit great, elastic is not gripping tight and the shoe is great. Went on vacay with the shoes and my daughter couldn't wear the Dove b/c they were too tight for her. I contacted Sorel support and am able to return the shoes and exchange. Think I am going with an elastic without a "print design" on it. Just black. Hope they fit like the white.

These are well made but very narrow across the top of the footbed. They are going back. I do not have a wide foot but it is also not narrow.

Front strap was too narrow for my feet and felt awkwardly placed. The footbed and ankle straps felt comfortable though. I ended up selling them to a friend because they didn't work for me.

I liked the idea for this sandal better than the shoe itself. I liked the grip on the sole, but it was not flexible enough and wasn't as wide as my foot. I have narrow feet. The shoes are made even narrower. I liked the simplicity in the design and the wide elastic was comfortable, but I couldn't get over the flat, oddly-shaped, stiff footbed. Sorels are generally high quality, but because of this strange design, this time it would be better to buy something equally as cute and uncomfortable at a much lower price.
