One of these days I will stop myself before purchasing a pair of Jambu/JBU shoes. This is my third pair from this brand and the third pair to start falling apart in less than six months. It's a shame because they are otherwise cute and comfortable.

I normally take a Wide width in my Jambu maryjanes. But, in reading the reviews for this particular Medium width Bamboo, I saw where other reviews said it ran wide...so I thought I'd give it a try, especially with the price and no-risk return policy. What luck! This M width does feel a lot like a W. These are keepers! Some M width gals may want to try 'em just for the bit more room they may allow. A Medium works just fine for me,
this time.

Love these! But they're huge! I sent them back for a full size smaller...oops! I guess only a half size would have done though I could get my thumb inside the back and my foot came out of the shoe when I walked. The full size smaller fits, but not comfortably, so I'll try half size.

JBU Bamboo are true to size. They run a bit wide which may turn out to be a good thing when the temperature rises and my feet may spread. In the mean time, there's room for thin socks. They are as comfortable as a slipper so I'll use these for my trip while running through airports. I have the sand and plan on a second color of denim. That's how much I like them. Thanks Zappo!!!

THE CUTEST SHOE................BUT HAD TO SEND IT BACK. I WEAR A BRACE WHICH MAKES FINDING SHOES A BIG PROBLEM. IF THIS SHOE WAS A NORMAL MARYJANE WHERE THE STRAP CAME OVER THE INSTEP TO HOLD IT, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE, BUT CANNOT TAKE THE STRAP OUT AS THERE IS A TAB OF SOME SORT ON THE END, SO I COULD NOT GET MY FOOT INTO THE SHOE AFTER I PUT THE BRACE IN! HOWEVER, IF I DID NOT HAVE THIS BRACE, I WOULD HAVE LOVED THIS SHOE & WORN IT UNTIL IT WAS GONE. TRIED A CLARK & IT WAS FINE.

Very cute, but...I love the color, the look, that they're vegan everything except how they feel on my foot! They fit perfectly. But the part that comes across the arch cuts my foot. Being that it isn't leather, I don't think it will ever soften up. Back they went. Thanks, Zappo's!

Cute shoe! The vegan upper was soft and the toe box was wider than most medium width shoes, which is just what I need. However, there didn't seem to be enough cushioning in the footbed, especially the metatarsal area. Sending back.

These were the cutest shoes ever! I returned them because I need a more supportive sole, but for someone with younger feet they might be perfect.

I had really looked forward to getting these, so tough to find shoes in like for my size 12 foot! The foot bed is comfortable, though I always need to add some extra arch support. the sole and sidelines of the shoe are good, attractive and protective. It runs about 1/2 size long, but there is no size 11.5. MOSTLY, the ankle strap, though placed well for support and with nicely adjustable velcro, is narrow and hard, with sharp edges, and was painfully cutting into my foot! Not at all good, and they are going back.

They have no support. The only thing holding them on is the thin strap which is uncomfortable. If you have wide feet these might be good. A medium is wide.

These shoes are really cute but seem to run a little short and a little narrow. I have bunions so that could be why they didn’t work for me. Wish I could wear them.

I love these and they are so comfortable. I ordered the cement color because they would go with almost everything though I also considered denim. I ended up ordering denim in a slightly different style so now I am all set! I have other JBU styles and these are an improvement because the strap is a bit shorter!

Another win for JBU!!! Ordered my usual size and they were perfect from the start. The last pair of JBU's I got I ordered a half size up following the reviews of others. Had to return them for my regular size. So now I know and order JBU's in my regular size which makes everything so easy. These shoes are so comfy, like walking on foam. I'm able to stand on my feet all day with no problems.

I love these and can't wait to wear them. I usually wear a 5.5 but this size 6 seems to fit well.

These shoes are so cute. I have several different styles of Jambu. I appreciate the heavier sole in a stylish shoe. I’m a woman of a certain age and appreciate good support. Plan to rock the red ones! ??

Everything is perfect with these shoes. They run true to size and are even cuter on than off. Now the hard part is to decide what color for my next pair. Thanks Zappo for making shoe shopping so easy!!

Fit good. However... never again will I buy vegan shoes. Mastered less than 2 months. I purchased 3 pair and two are already in the trash. Upper tore easily. Some wore fast. Going back to leather shoes.
