Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic™ Lace

I had been on the search for sneakers that could crosstrain, if you will, between athleisure and slightly more while maintaining my bold, monochrome style. Love the look, and I get so many compliments. The oversized tread is iconic, but it's not ideal for muddy trails--and the lace is sometimes irritating to the bone on the top of my foot after especially long walks. However, I'd recommend for a stylish sneaker perfect for romping around the city.

The scalloped sole definitely is what caught my attention and I just had to have it. I was disappointed in how the insole was lacking cushion, it was just a piece of hard foam. Thankfully they are removable so I replaced them with gel insoles and they feel so much better

Very cute casual shoe, looks great with cropped jeans or leggings. Comfortable, feels very stable. I have thin feet, so the correct length felt very loose around my foot. I went a down a half a size for a snugger feel, but my toes flex on the fabric a bit in the toe box.

These sneakers are so comfortable. I love them. There's a lot of give because of the material. They got but I could've gone down 1/2 size. I've noticed some fraying on them already. I hope it's just general wear.

A loop on the heel would make these the perfect slip on!! They are a nice snug fit, with a very comfortable sole.

I have a high instep so getting this shoe on and off is a struggle. Othetwise it is very comfortable.

Cute and comfortable, butThese are very hard to put on. I have to use a shoehorn. Other than that they're great.

I seen a coworker wearing the same shoe and loved the look of the them. I love that you can just pull them on and off. Also like the thick sole.

These shoes a super cute, seem comfy for the brief moment I wore them. Sadly, I'll be returning them as it was just too much work to put them on. I have a high instep/arch. Needed a quick on/off errand partner, for me these wont work. Bummed though, these are super cute.

This shoe fits well and looks great. It makes a light hike or long walk more comfortable. I can also throw it on to attend a casual gathering.

This sneaker is very comfortable although since I have high arches, they are just a bit tight across the top of my foot. Even though I wear a thin athletic sock my feet stink from this shoe, but I get compliments though, so I have that going for me. I would get another pair in another color.

These are very cute and I got the tan color so it matches well with many outfits. However I'm pregnant and deal with some swelling in my feet and these aren't as comfortable as I had hoped. Hopefully once my feet are back to normal they will feel great.

These shoes are so cute! They are comfy, but beware the arch support is minimal. I wish there was loop at the back because it is difficult to get the shoe on without a tongue. The look is slightly wider than I prefer, but the sole makes up for that! I love the sole. It's my favorite part!

These shoes are adorable and well made and I wish I could have kept them. Sadly I have very thin feet and the full mess upper on these shoes just sunk right in. They looked terrible on my feet but my friend has normal feet and they look great.

These are great shoes but a little too narrow for my feet. I usually buy wide width (for sneakers only) but tried these because I love sorels so much. They were great - love the look and very comfortable but just a little too narrow. Make them in wide and I will buy three pair!!

I have never reviewed a shoe but own several different Sorel styles. I am a 6.5/7. I ordered the 7 and it was WAY too big...so I have them sitting here waiting to be sent back once the pandemic ends. But decided to order the 6.5 anyway. They are also a bit big? like fine walking and in stride, but when i'm standing still, or sitting, I will always wonder if a 6 would have been better. So I guess i'm not a huge help lol on sizing, other than if you're like me, go down at least half a size. Before I had twins, I wore a 6 in ALL shoes. Thanks kids. Now i'm a 6.5 but wear a 7 in Sorel boots and in a different style of Sorel sneakers. for these ... here I am with a lot of 6.5's and as I contemplate a 4th pair of kinetics, I guess i'll stay with 6.5...bc I feel like, when walking, it would annoy me to have my toe hit the top of the shoe. one half centimeter makes a difference. They are super cute and stylish and lightweight. I wish for a bit more arch support but comfy anyway. I do feel the laces are a bit long as stated in other reviews. Let's face it, they really don't "need" laces, so why they have laces that have to be double knotted is beyond me. also, if it bugs you, bc of the knit material, my big toes ...look a bit poked up at times. but that's just the nature of the shoe design/material. I have the white, the Mint, and the Mauve. I will say the back logo on at least two pair is a bit... of gap? that's a quality issue but I put it out of my mind bc I can't see it lol Would be happy to answer any questions.

I like these, not as much as my other Sorel's but they are good shoes. They are stylish and fairly comfortable. I really wish I had bought them in a 7.5 and I might have felt differently about them. I wear an 8 in every other tennis shoe (and most Sorel boots) I purchased these in an 8, they are a little big. Not enough to be extremely bothersome but just enough so that they feel a little "sloppy" and don't keep my foot totally secure feeling so unfortunately, they are not one of my "go to" shoes. Like I said, had they fit more snugly, this might be a completely different story. The laces are also extremely long, not sure if I am tying them correctly but the laces are so long, they drag the ground and the loops are huge! I got the tan and they are definitely more of a pink color. I really like the color of the shoe. Maybe size down 1/2 size for a better fit?
