Customer Reviews Soludos Banded Shield Sandal

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Wore these for three weeks sightseeing in Italy, alternating with a pair of Chacos, and my feet didn't hurt once! Early on there was rub at the back of the shoes, but I attribute that mostly to swelling from the heat. A little oil on back of leg helped generate needed slip. Got lots of compliments on style. I have high arches and instep, and major bunion repair on both repeat from surgeries in last two years. These were the most comfortable shoes imaginable. Plenty of cushioning to combat uneven pavement, and secure on feet.

Love these shoes.... The style is a bit sophisticated, I really like these and is a compliment to certain outfit I plan to wear.

I love these sandals! They are very stylish and comfortable. I am not sure that I would walk 10 miles in them but they were very comfortable for a recent city walk. I would wonder if the footbed, since it is jute, would be a little irritating but wore them all day with breaks and no issues. I will definitely look for more from this brand. They were true to size as well.

Love these sandals! Took a few days to break in with slight but not painful pinching, then they weee fabulous. Comfortable, look great with jeans and shortS/dresses.

I really love the style of these - they can be worn casual or a little dressy. They are pretty comfy except that the buckle hits right at my prominent ankle bone, but that happens with all shoes like this. I initially ordered an 8.5, which seemed a little small, so I exchanged for a 9. The 9 was almost a full size too big, so I went back to an 8.5. The second pair of 8.5 I received was better than the 1st - not quite perfect, but good enough. I generally wear an 8 or sometimes an 8.5. So, I think the sizing is just a little wonky. Other than that though, they are great. And as always, Zappos is the best!

I love these! I usually wear a 9 but ordered a 9.5 and they are fine. I could probably go up to a 10 but I’ll keep the 9.5. They are a little narrow (and I don’t have wide feet) and the outside part of my foot up toward the toes are a little squished- but I’m hoping with a few wears they stretch a little. They are very comfortable so far even with the tightness. I love them and they definitely meet my expectations for the price!

Cute but not supportive enough to use as a walking shoe.

I loved the style and comfort of this shoe, but unfortunately the quality is extremely poor! I actually bought 2 because the first was defective and the second pair had the same issue. The jute footbed on both was unraveling. The second pair also had an uneven left footbed. So, although I love the style, I was bummed the quality was an issue. I’d never purchase another Saludas shoe based on my experience. Fortunately, Zappos has such great customer service that I was able to return them both.
