These shoes are amazing !! They are my second pair of the Gentle Souls brand and they certainly didn't disappoint! The softest leather, most comfortable footbed! I am on my feet all day and they are a dream. I wear an 8 so the fit is perfect. They are pricey but my other Gently Souls (leopard print slides!) are 5 years old and still look and feel amazing. Worth every penny!!

I'm always a 9 1/2 in Gentle Souls so these were true to size, except the black pair was too tight and I couldn't get my foot in it. The ice and rose gold both fit better. I'm spoiled by wearing Birkenstocks and I did not find these comfortable despite the cushy thing in the heel. HOWEVER, I agree with the other reviewer that THESE SHOES SMELL BAD. They smell like toxic chemicals. The smell was overwhelming.
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstocks, Pikolinos, Rieker

I love wearing these! They are so comfortable. Don’t think I will be able to find another style I like with this much cushion. The leather is super soft like what you expect from gentle souls. I also have them in pink. I am barely a size 8 in this brand. In this case I know I can’t size down. For Reference: Ugg sandals in size 8 are perfect for me. But gentle souls must run a tiny bit larger at least in this style and the Kiki style in this brand size 8 was just too big.

These are beautiful shoes. Unfortunately, they did not work for me. The cushioned instep is wonderful. Although the leather is very soft, it hurt between my toes. Perhaps a half size larger would have fit better. I returned them.

Love these shoes, the foot bed is so soft and comfortable, feel like I am walking on a cloud! The gold color is so pretty, goes with everything. Even though these shoes are a little on the pricier side they are well worth it.

I gave this shoe a 5* rating even though I am sending back. My left heel would not stay centered on the heel of the shoe. Not the shoe's issue, but my some what angled foot.

These shoes were comfortable the moment I put them on. I love the style and they fit great. Normally I never wear anything between my toes, but this toe divider is soft and really helps keep the sandal on the foot. I am wearing them all day while working from home and just love them. Worth the money. Total 5 stars!

Adorable shoe, but unfortunately, was a tad too big for me. I normally wear a 5 and this shoe seemed to be a bit bigger. As others noted, also had an odd smell. Cute shoe though and seemed as if it would be very comfortable.

I was so hopeful about these shoes based on the other reviews, but these weren't even close for me. I'm an 8 to 8 1/2 and originally ordered the 8 based on others' true to size assessment. They were huge. Almost 3/4 too long and over 1/2 inch of space all the way around for width. I re-ordered a 7 1/2 hoping a had a fluke of bad luck. My foot hit the ends in both the front and back (so the difference between a 7 1/2 and 8 wasn't normal), and it was still far too wide. If you have wide or even extra wide feet this might be a great options. Everyone else - proceed with caution. Too pricey to fit this poorly.

These are stylish and so comfortable. They are great for work. I wouldn’t wear them for an all day city walk, but for a regular day of sitting, standing and walking they are perfect. The leather is so soft and the footbed very cushy

Fit like a glove, a leather glove that is! Couldn't be happier with this purchase. I love that the footbed is leather so my skin isn't soaking up toxins from synthetics. Comfort is awesome too...soft and flexible.

This shoe is a little tight at first but stretches. This is my second pair of this style, I ordered a half size larger last time and they became too loose after I wore them a few weeks. This is my third pair of Gentle Soles. Soft leather, easy to walk in, super comfortable!!

This has to be the perfect sandal EXCEPT the top of the sandal is so loose, I could put four fingers in with my foot.
I'd also recommend:
These but with adjustment somehow. Oofoos are great but not appropriate for all occasions.

Love the look of these sandals. They have a soft footbed, no arch support. I went up 1/2 size and they fit perfectly.

I love these sandals. Super comfortable, nice soft leather, a bit of cushion, I also have them in pink and in the olive, and get a lot of compliments. Easy to wear for long periods. I am an 8 in many shoes, usually go 39 in Euro size; for me, the 8.5 was better in these, just a little extra length so my heel wasn’t right at the back edge.
