I love these for just bopping around and running errands. They go with most any outfit. They're very comfortable but not very supportive so if I need the extra support, I'll put an insert in. Very happy I bought these!

I love the way these shoes look and basically go with anything! They're very comfy and I'm on my feet all day at work so I'm thinking about grabbing another pair just to wear for work. At first they are a little snug to get on since the tongue doesn't move but they've gotten a little easier to get on now that I've broken them in.

These are very cute shoes for errands. They pair nicely with leggings and jeans and I like that they are not solid black. The ridged sole gives them a very contemporary look which I love. They do not have a lot of cushion or arch support but nonetheless are a very comfortable shoe. I took one star off because the only downside is that they are very hard to get on. The softer heel layer just folds into the shoe when you put it on. I wish there were a pull tab on the heel like the one on the tongue, then this would be the perfect street sneaker!

material was great and runs 1/2 large. Comfort awesome...Kudos on Style, the only issue I have is that the toe box was oval is shape where my big toe on the left was clearly being pulled in. if the toe box was more square I could have worn a toe space to prevent the pull, but the space did no allow for me to wear a toe space and be comfortable. I really wanted these to work, because they are so darn awesome. But I can no longer reason to keep shoes that don't check off all my needs.

I have a pair of these in the black and White stripe size 10.5 and they fit perfectly. This is the size that I usually get for Sorel. I had purchased the red pair in this same size and now need to return it because it is a bit too snug in the toe area.

I so wanted these to work--they are super cute and comfortable. However, this style has the attached tongue, which makes the shoe very difficult to put on, particularly since I wear orthotics. Unfortunately, not for me.

I'm very particular when it comes to athletic shoes. The kinetics were true to size and very comfortable. I'm a loyalist to adidas so at the end of the day I returned them, but for a normal person these shoes are the same high quality you can expect from Sorel.

Just got these and haven't done too much walking in them but they are very comfortable so far. I ordered a 1/2 size down due to other reviews and still think they are a little long.

There isn't a finger loop on the back of these so they're kind of difficult to put on.

I was super excited to buy these after the purple and sea green colors ran out. They looked super cute in the pictures, and I liked the splash of color. One thing I wish Sorel would have done was add color to the front top of the shoe. Keeping it all white just makes it a bit plain and elongates your foot, which I do not like. These shoes have got to be the hardest shoes to put on!! It's absolutely horrible! There is no give when it comes to getting this shoe on your foot. I have owned them for about 2 months and worn them once. Advice for future/first time buyers, go to a local store and try the shoe your interested in buying online on. I'm sure Sorel would have taken these shoes back, but because I wore them, I figured I was stuck with them. But save yourself from a bad purchase and just go try them on!!

I really wanted these to work, but they didn't. I have a high arch and I couldn't get my foot in with out the heel collapsing. I tried and tried to get them on with no luck. They aren't made for feet with a high arch . My daughter is wearing and loves them.

They are good shoes but very narrow. I checked to make sure on my order and I did not order narrow so not sure Why. I have a normal foot but don't order if you have any width in your foot

I wanted these to be my new obsession, but they’re “meh” :( I’m probably going to be sending them back for a few reasons
1. They’re BIG - I’m a 9.5/10 and have a medium/wider foot especially around the ball of my foot. I like shoes that are flexible and allow my toes to wiggle, but these (!) they’re really roomy. Excessively roomy. If you’re planning to wear these in cold weather with thick socks, okay, but wearing only athletic no show socks doesn’t work with this shoe. My foot felt insecure, even with my super feet insoles. :(
2. They’re not very padded. As others have mentioned, they don’t have the same level of cushiness found in most trainers. They’re stiff on the footbed, more like hiking boots. Maybe that’s the intent, but either way with all the extra space in width and length, they let my SuperFeet insoles slip around.
3. They look a bit on the cheap side, up close and in person. Maybe I’m snobby but if I pay $100+ for a shoe it better look like I paid $100. I got the teal color, so there’s some kind of craft-store type fabric (felt?) on the heel that looks like felt. The ridges on the sole look cool, but it looks like it’s trying real hard to be a trail shoe or maybe a true athletic shoe, but is sadly, neither.
Pic1: difference in size of insole (sorel on bottom) the shape was weird altogether a d my insoles work with all me sneaks.
Pic2: cheap felt-like fabric? Why??
Pic3: Difference in size between my size 10 New Balance that have similar “lace” securing fabric uppers.

It’s not as comfortable as I thought it would be. The advertisement said something about comfort before style but I’d have to say, my revenge storms provide more comfort than these.

The shoe was very comfortable and had good support. I didn't like the bulky look that they had. With the overall size of the platform and fit I felt it wouldn't be versatile to wear with many outfit styles.

I loved these shoes, really wanted them to work. I wore them around the house for 2 days to see how they would do. They fit great in all ways. Just one problem for me. The mesh over the toe area presses down on my toes and toenails and eventually starts to hurt. There is not enough of an edge around the toe for the mesh to sit on. Roomy side to side but not so top to bottom.

Very cool looking and comfortable but there was not enough structure in the front of the shoe’s fabric to keep me from pronating. So they had to go back.

I was looking for a cute walking shoe for a trip. These are definitely funky looking but they are also clunky looking. Look carefully at the pictures and you'll see the the back of the shoe looks like a shoe within a shoe. Fit was great! But I need a a tailored look.

tried these and the non lace kinetic. both are somewhat hard to get on, but these are not as comfortable and don't feel as if they provide enough support. The left also felt somewhat short comparatively. returning

I loved the purple. In person they look like a no name brand. The fit was okay but couldn't get over the curved sole. The entire footbed curves like a C & when I looked down I look pigeon toed. Not as cute as I thought they'd be:(.

I really loved these shoes(color quarry).
There is glue all over the sole. I had to return these because I can not live with the poor quality of the way the shoe looks. I think Ill try another color. They are really comfy, I like the way they hug my heel but I did not wear them, only tried them on.

Great fit and colors but the top fabric snags easily. I don't think I would buy this style again just due to longevity. I don't think they will last as long as other Sorel styles.
But for a season or two they are very nice.
