This is good for a casual sneaker, I wouldn't use for a serious workout. I was a little disappointed in the quality, for example, the stitching on the tongue seemed cheap especially for the price.

This shoe is comfortable and very pretty, but due to my high instep the laces just looked too wide and frumpy. Both my mom and sister had the same issue and they don't have wide feet. We all returned them.

The shoe itself is comfortable but it comes up really high in the back and gave me blisters on my Achilles' tendon. I love the style and colors though!

I was gifted these in my normal shoes size and had to return them because they were a full inch too long. I went a half size down which is still a bit large and feels awkward where the mesh meets the toe but I think I'll get used to them. Moderate support. Good looking though, I got the red.

These shoes had been worn before I received them. The soles were soiled and the foam insert was also dirty and they smelled. I purchased these shoes to wear on a new True Elliptical which sits on a new cork floor. I wanted clean shoes to wear on the elliptical. Unfortunately I had to have surgery before taking them out of the box and weeks later Dr's clearance, I decided to try the elliptical. So disappointed in these shoes. Not to mention they are not very comfortable, but they are used. I will think twice before I buy shoes from Zappos again. If I had the box I would try to return but that went into the garbage last week):

The shoes themselves look good and I like the design and color (white and cream). I have a narrow foot so the toe doesn’t pinch like some reviewers mentioned.
My issue is these things feel not great on when compared to ADIDAS or my ASICS. I didn’t return because I paid $60 for them and they were $90. TBH I feel like they are more like a $40 shoe.
I’ll stick to my other brands that use cloud foam or other comfy insoles.

I loved the colors on these, but did not find them comfortable at all. The style is very cool though!

The fit was fine but the interior fabric was rough and the seam running across the front rubbed on my toes. I guess I'll keep trying.

Cute shoe, but the piece of fabric at the very end over the toe is uncomfortable, makes the toes feel tight. Like everything else about them but hurt my toes, which makes me not want to wear them.

I wanted to love these as much as I love my knee high wedges but I just can't. The comfort doesn't even compare. They also ran a size too small. They are cute though.

I have about 5 pairs of sorels. They are
My go to comfy shoe. This pair I got the white, super cute style very current. BUT not comfortable as all the other shoes. I returned and purchased the other sneaker in white. I have the black pair and super
Comfy now I have the white also. I can wear these all day.

The shoes for me, weren't worth the cost. Nothing special. Not crazy comfy like your boots

I wanted something different and the gold pop of color was perfect. I'm a huge Sorel fan and have various styles . The only reason I gave this pair 3 out of 5 stars was because they don't seem to have as much footbed support as the other styles of boots/sneakers I have from Sorel.

I ordered these after ordering the Kinetic Impact Strap Sneaker that I love. I was really disappointed that these were no where near as comfortable. The soles of these feel like I am walking on a hard surface. I bought them to wear to work at my medical office but there is no way that I would be able to last all day in these. I will be returning them and waiting for Sorel to come out with another Kinetic Impact sneaker.

If Sorel redesigns this shoe I'll purchase it again but sadly I returned them. I love the colors, materials and design but the heel collar was too high and it dug into my Achilles tendon which hurt when I walked fast or jogged. Walking slowly was ok but I don't walk slowly! Customer service was awesome though. I would have given the shoe 5 stars had it not been for this issue.

Unfortunately, these shoes did not meet my expectations. Where your toes are, is uncomfortable. There is no way I could hike in these shoes without pain. I am keeping them, but will only be wearing for short distances. I feel these shoes are poorly designed.

Yes, these are light, but they are not cushioned and uncomfortable. Wouldn't repurchase.

The left shoe actually looked like a different shape at the toe than the right. The toe was curved more inward than the right - was weird. Also the top of the lace plaquette was crooked on the left shoe. They almost seemed like they were irregular. I liked the color. Insole was a little hard. You have to put them on to really see the differences so I'm not adding a picture.

This is my sixth pair of Sorel shoes (three boots and three sneakers) and it's the first time I've been disappointed. Uneven fabric cutting/details, many loose threads, and smaller than my other other same-sized Sorels. These would be great shoes if executed properly.

Good lord, where to begin with these shoes. I own a pair of Sorel boots, and had to size up for those, so I bought these sneakers in a size up as well. They were massive!! So I returned those and bought them in my normal size, and they were still too big! Then, when I shoved tissues in the toe and decided to just try to work with them and maybe just wear thicker socks, I ha the unfortunate realization that this are easily the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. After wearing them for about an hour, I had to stop wearing them because they gave me such massive and horrible blisters that my blood literally stained the white shoes. It's actually hilarious how terrible these shoes are. Wow.

I normally wear an 8.5/9 in sneakers. I ordered the pink color before in a 9 and they were enormous. A friend who is normally a 9.5 found them way too large, so I had to pay to return. Despite my better judgement I ordered the white version in an 8 after seeing how large the first ran. My toe is at the very end, and I probably need an 8.5 but seeing how off the sizing is, I'm not even bothering with the cost and hassle of returning. So disappointing.

Very cute and I was hoping they would be super comfortable. Not even close. Wore them around the block and I had blisters on my heels after 5 min. Very odd design on the back; they slant in toward your feet. I do have narrow heels but have never been assaulted by a shoe like this after only a few minutes of walking.

They are beautifully designed and fit true to size. But there is some weird construction in the heel that has caused some severe rubbing/blisters on my heel. I've tried to give these shoes some time to break in, in hopes the rubbing will eventually stop. I walked 10-12 miles so far, and the rubbing has not gotten any better. I would not recommend these shoes for long distance walking based on my experience.
