Customer Reviews Gentle Souls by Kenneth Cole Lavern

I have never been so glad to spend this much on shoes. These are incredibly comfortable, beautifully made, and stylin'! I'll be wearing them for years.

Blister after walking 1 block because the strap rubs across the top of the foot. (I have a very high instep). Also, the texture on the strap can feel a bit rough between your toes. Very slippery on hardwood floors, and possibly on other smooth surfaces. Great cushion which makes up for lack of arch support. Excellent quality. If I hadn’t walked one block I’d consider returning them…although the design is versatile for summer.

I thought I was going to love these but I didn't love the color. I thought it was going to be a soft silver color but it is definitely a yellowy gold. They also were not as comfortable as I thought they would be.

My usual size is 71/2 to 8, and I decided to order the smaller size. It was fine. My problem with the sandals was that I couldn’t get used to having something between my toes. I am 70 years old, and it has been many years since I wore shoes like this. Should have known better. I had to return because of this. Otherwise, they were great. Very pretty, fashionable, and comfy (except for the toe part).

This is a cute, comfy, well made sandal and was true to size. I normally wear a medium width which I ordered but it was much to wide. They don't come in a narrow width so sadly I must return them. =(

These are nicely crafted shoes....however the right shoe was comfortable and the left was not. The foot bed felt lumpy.

These shoes were very nice I just did not like the rose gold color on me so I returned. I am a size 11 and the fit was perfect.

THis is a nice comfortable sandal. Good purchase for the price. TTS. My only complaint would be that it is a little light in weight which makes it seem a bit cheap, and for a “comfort” shoe there could be a bit more cushion and arch support. For comparison, I much prefer a similar sandal to this made by Gabor, which is bit more cushioned and heavier with more arch support. However, Gabor is at a higher price point so I guess this is to be expected. All in all this is a solid purchase for the price.

Fun shoe!

Good fit; but a little unstable

They are beautiful and comfortable!! The only reason I gave 4 stars is because I would prefer it have arch support. I love them!

I needed another casual sandal and didn't have any white shoes in my lineup so I jumped on this at the sale price. It's a nice, comfortable pair and true to size but they just looked weird on my feet. I think they looked a lot better in the video. I'm about to pack them up and send them back. Sigh....

Way too wide, my feet were sliding around in them. I do have a narrow foot so I was taking a chance and decided to try it since Zappo's has such a great return policy.

These are NOT leather. They are suede.

Gentle Souls -- please look at workmanship! These fit beautifully, and a lovely sandal. But the lower portion of the wide suede strap is loose and floppy - already stretched out. Can't hold the foot in. Think about having something adjustable?

I really like the color and suede leather of this shoe. Sadly the shoe was too wide for me and I have to return it.

This was too big across the arch of my foot and rubbed on my third toe, it would cause blister if I wore them. They are cute but they also had an awful smell.

Beautiful shoe but no arch support at all

Returned because the thong around the big toe was cutting into the area between my toes. Not much arch support for high arches. Pretty sandals. I wish they are been more comfortable around the toes. True to width is based on my very narrow feet.

Much too wide on my foot. Nicely styled shoe, but it wasn’t even close to being a proper fit. I think the quality of the shoes of this brand has gone down over the years.

I did not like the overall quality.

I ordered these in7.5 Which I wear about half the time. I really wanted the Ice color but it wasn't available . The rose gold seemed close . It wasn't. really Bright Gold I would say . and 7.5 were too small. I sent them back.

Order one whole size up for length.

This shoe is so freaking cute. I wore them once for 30 minutes on a walk. The little section that goes between the toes created more pain than any other shoe I've ever worn ever. I thought it would wear in or soften, and maybe be okay, but the next time I put them on I was immediately in the worst pain again. A waste of money. Unwearable. Shocked that they are so uncomfortable, given the name.
