I ordered these sandals because I had 2 previous pairs from many years ago and I thought they would be the same...they don't have the same arch support, sole is thinner and opening on the side is larger. I'm sure all of these changes helped save the company money, but it definitely took away the high quality they used to have and I'm sure the price is much higher than what I previously paid. Having said all that I still like them, however I won't be purchasing them again!!

Great color and comfortable foot bed. Only one criticism - I have similar flip flops from Columbia and I really love this toe design. However, on the specific pair I was sent, one toe fits tighter than the other. It seems to be stretching out so I think it will work out okay but if I had bought these in the store I would have tried on other pairs for a more even fit (and yes, I compared the fabric - visually the left toe loop is bigger than the right - it's not just my foot!)

This is my 4th pair of these sandals. I love them but this year it feels like the sizing has changed. My first pair I ordered a size 9 and then moved up to a 10. This year I again ordered a size 10 and it fits like a size 9. My foot size is actually a 9.5. I was very disappointed. An 11 will be too big.

I like these sandals but I wish they came in half sizes because they are a little big. They stay on my foot nicely and are very comfortable to wear.

These sandals are overall comfortable, but need more arch support to be adequate for a longer walking time. Very good for everyday 'out and about wear'. Stays on foot well, nice color choices

Bought my first pair (blue) several years ago at a shoe store. They just now bit the dust and I think if I hadn't gotten them wet over & over they would've lasted even longer. So. I just bought this cherry bomb pair (same size 9 as before) and although they are a bit too snug, I still can wear them. Turned around and bought another pair in black, size 10, and they fit perfectly. My feet usually are 9 or 9.5. Toe grip is the bomb!

I usually wear Merrell sandals but decided to try yours. They are as comfortable and more stylish, I'll definitely be buying more. Thank you.

I have sensitive feet that seem to blister at a lot of shoes, sandals particularly. But these ones work great, and I can walk several miles with my dog in them. They are a little tight on the top of the foot, but it doesn't bruise the skin - I just wouldn't wear them all day. They are great for the way they wrap the toe, instead of being between the toes. I would buy these again.

Little snug but the more I wear maybe the shoes will give a bit more. Style is nice and color, too. Like these.

The fabric is quite stiff and rough. I am hoping that they soften up or I will need to donate them.

Love this style shoe. Kea II. I already own 3 pairs but this recent pair i just got, the black and white ones, seemed to be stretched out around my foot and don't fit like the should especially like my other 3 pairs. But I did keep them because did not feel like trying to send them back.Sandy

I love these Columbia Kia 11 shoes and have owned them for years in different colors. I wanted the beige tone but not available in my size. so I ordered these and they were grey and pink which just doesn't go with my mostly orange and yellow clothes. They no longer fit the way they used to fit. Vey disappointed. The fit was way off and I ordered two pair in different sizes to make sure. Totally uncomfortable

I like the shoes. This particular pair I had to return because the left shoe strap across the top of my foot was longer than the one on the right shoe. So the left shoe did not fit right at all.

The previous iteration of this sandal was more comfortable and the foot bed more orthotic. The opening at the inside of the sandal was smaller than the previous style and I had to cut it to make more room for my bunion. I did like the overall fit of the top part of the sandal as it was a bit more snug than the previous style and thus more stable.

They are nice but not as good as a pair a few years ago. Those had a thicker bottom and a tread on them.

Definitely designed for a more narrow foot than mine. I ordered a half size bigger but could barley get my foot In the sandal. I have high arches so the fit, for me, was very tight across the top of my foot and through the width. The length was too short. Maybe a full size or two larger would have been a better, more comfortable fit.

You changed the sole of the sandal and it is not as comfortable as it used to be . It is flatter and does not have as much support.

I am using these primarily as slippers for the hot summer months. In this version of these shoes, they are basically flip-flops but with a toe wrap and not a thong. I agree with previous reviewers that the Columbia Kea II is a shadow of its previous version. No toe grips, no arch at all and lighter soles. I still use my beat up old ones in the garden because they are worn but durable and comfortable.
