Customer Reviews JBU Dune Encore

Oh, wow. I searched for a pair of shoes to take on a trip... a few days before my trip...which is a pretty horrible idea, considering you just never know how things will work out. I don’t want to be dramatic but I think these shoes are magical. I wore them a couple of days in the row for work. I am a consultant and leadership coach. My whole day is on my feet, walking and moving around during trainings... what noticed at the end of my day, is that my legs, back and feet felt great! At the end of my days like this, because I walk 3-5 miles, my legs, feet and back hurt by the end of the day. I’m just worn out because of it. I have a pair of Keens but needed something with a little different look for the event that I’m attending. So I was trying to find something that was comfy like a Keen, but with a look that I could wear with slacks and they don’t look as ‘Keen-like’. I considered buying a half dozen pairs of these. ;-) I am flying to Amsterdam and London in two days and these shoes are going with me. I’m looking forward to these!

I ordered half a size up over my usual size after reading the reviews. Perfect fit. I have “Viking “ feet: narrow heels , wider forefoot with similar length toes. Stylish sandal!

Overall, it is a very nice shoe . . . and vegan. Based on reviews, I ordered a 1/2 size larger (7 1/2 to an 8). It felt comfortable, but too large, leaving a small space between the back of my ankle and the shoe. So I returned the 8 and ordered my normal size of 7 1/2 which turned out to be too small . . . my big toe rubbed against the shoe. Ultimately, I think the shoe is true to size, BUT the width and depth of the toe area is smaller than normal. But I do like the shoe, and it is what I've been looking for, so I'm reordering the 8 and will wear them with socks.

I needed a shoe with good support for my foot problems; this shoe seems perfect for me. I have only worn it for short periods of time so far, but it seems true to size, and no painful breaking in process. It has lots of cute style, and I expect it will become my favorite go-to shoes for this Summer. The sale price was great, I am happy with my purchase.

Never had so many compliments on a shoe. I literally had strangers commenting. A lot of style and comfort. What else would you want from a shoe?

I loved these shoes, but was disappointed that they were too small. I wore them around the house with socks to see how they feel because my toes came right up to the end. They were still comfortable even though I didn't have much toe space, but decided to return them for a half size larger. I was concerned that if I wore them for long periods of time that they would be uncomfortable and would hurt my toes. I usually wear a size 9. I'm hoping the 9 1/2 will be perfect.

I got two pairs - the Black Earth and the Charcoal/Pink. I have hard-to-fit feet. I have a large bunion on my right foot. I need to order wide-width to accommodate the bunion. As a result, the left shoe is often too large. When I tried on the shoes, they seemed to fit. The toe box was was hard, but didn’t hurt my bunion. I wore the black shoes around for a day, and they didn’t feel all that comfortable. My toes felt a little bit cramped, even though the shoes were long enough and wide enough. Maybe they will loosen up the more I wear them. (I did wear them with light socks). But I decided to return the Charcoal/pink pair. They are very cute shoes, I was sorry not to keep both pairs.

Love JBU shoes - this is my third pair. So comfortable.

So far, so awesome. It is nearly impossible for me to find cute vegan shoes that are long enough for my big toes while being narrow enough for my dinky foot bones. These do it! So adorable and comfortable.

Order my second pair...great for the Summer.

These are exactly as expected. I love Jambu and Jbu shoes. Like other wearers, I have come to realize that one should order a half size larger than one might usually wear. When I do, they fit perfectly. You really can take them out of the box and start walking for miles! I find the Dune style a little more stylish than the blossom ones.

I love these shoes. The color (red) is rich, the files are supportive, the overall show design is fun, funky. Shoes fits well.

Great shoes, comfortable and cute, esp in red!

The size is great, however the side a little uncomfortableness to it just where my arch is, other wise I still wear it with some tweaking

I have worn Jambus / JBUs for years and love them for travel! They are cute and practical, and easy on and off at airport security. I usually wear a 6 1/2 or 7. These are 7s, but feel about half a size too short to me. I'll test them a little more carefully, and decide if I need to exchange them.

cute, and the two tone black and brown will go with everything. I found them a bit stiff out of the box, but am hoping they will soften up, especially in the toe strapping area.

The shoes are cute, but they are basically made of hard plastic so they look kind of like cheap, plastic Keen knock-offs. I'm a pretty basic size 8 but couldn't even get the 8 on; the 8.5 fit snugly. I could tell I would have blisters from the plastic rubbing against my skin until it was broken in and softened. The soles overall seem to have good traction, but the large inset area of recycled plastic felt like it would be very slippery. Returning these and continuing my search for a comfy pair of casual shoes that can go with dresses and pants.

Very cute shoe, but sadly sent them back. The straps made the front of the shoe very tight with no give or allowance for stretch.

These were a replacement for an identical pair that had worn out because I wore them so much and with such super comfort over several years. The design is slightly different on the back of the heel, but the greatest disappointment: no longer a removable insole with a high arch. Feet get sweaty in the summer, so it was helpful to easily take out the insole and scrub off the dirt and odor. The new "updated" model has a flat, permanent insole, which is slightly less comfortable and definitely less practical. I am keeping them anyway.

These are super cute and very comfortable except...the toebox is too flat across the end part! I did not expect that. It's not uncommon for the toe box to be too short in these type of shoes, but that is easy to fix: just get the next size up. I will try that with this shoe because it works so well everywhere else. My biggest concern is that the heel will then be too large. I will size up and see how it goes. I love that it's so easy with Zappos to do it--thank you!

My daughter loves them but they run a little small

I really liked these shoes, but had to return them as they were too tight across my instep, even though I went up a 1/2 size.

Love this brand of shoe but they tend to run small, at least for me. These are cute on but will have to be returned.

They felt great the first couple of days, but then were painful and clunky. Also, the t-strap never lays flat and looks goofy (I purchased the red pair on sale fyi)

I like the style and fit of this shoe. The biggest problem with this shoe is the plastic insole which causes my feet to perspire. Realize it is WINTER! I cannot imagine wearing these in the summer. You cannot remove the insoles either, they are glued on very tight.
