Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic™ Impact Lace

I absolutely love these shoes - comfortable from the moment you put them on - probably my most favorite sneaker ever- but they need to reinforce the material at the toe - my big toes put a hole through both shoes very quickly. I hope Sorel will keep these but add a reinforced toe or thicker material on top. Love that they carry my size as well - 5 fit great!

The shoe is very comfortable. My only issue is with the top of the shoe being very thin toward the toe area.

Got these for street wear, not exercise. Super cute. Sea salt with the touch of orange is perfect for spring. Wore them all day first time, and they were great. One issue - on the upper end of the arch, where the tan material meets the sole, there was a small area of pressure on my heel. Not rubbing like a blister, just pressure like a small smooth pebble. By end of day, it was really uncomfortable, almost painful to walk on it. I have low arches, so this may not affect everyone, and it was not as bad on my right foot, which has the higher arch. I am trying to find a solution by adding a cushioning of some sort to that spot, as I don't expect it's a spot that will soften with time. Otherwise I will have to limit wear to short periods of time.

Not nearly as supportive as they look. Great for casual dress; not great for good long walks. The strings are a mile long; I have no idea what to do with them....other than replace them.

It said to order a half size down, which I did. They fit, but are snug. I cannot wear socks with them because they would be too tight otherwise. I wish I had gotten my normal size :-/

Great shoe! Comfortable and stylish. Runs big and I even sized down by a half size, since this is my second pair. I definitely was the talk of the office when I wore them.

These shoes are crazy comfortable. However, they sit very low on the ankle/foot which makes them feel less substantial and doesn't give your ankle much stability.

Comfortable. Cute. But .... runs wayyyy bigger than expected

I've gotten many compliments and appreciate looks from people on these shoes. They're slip on and surprisingly go with almost everything I have. The laces don't seem to factor into them staying on your feet, and are just a stylistic choice? They're very comfortable and have become my go-to shoe for walking the dogs. Sneakers often cut the back of my heel but not these. You do have to get rather low cut/ no show socks or it looks silly. That being said, I have worn them without socks and they're still comfy, don't cut into my skin. I'm a size 8.75 with almost wide feet. I originally bought the size 9 but then had to size down to an 8.5 which are perfect.

Love the look of these shoes. I ordered 1/2 sz smaller as recommended and they fit perfectly. They do not tie the way a regular tennis shoe does so they fit more like a slip on, I didn't know it when I ordered it so I gave 4 stars. Very padded cushy feeling.

They extremely comfortable. A little too big, kept them because of return process is pretty lengthy. I wear 9.5, purchased a size 10 and it flops when I walk. Very stretchy shoe. Picture is more appealing.

These sneakers run a little large. I'm usually a 6.5 - 7, but am returning for a 6 because my heal slips out. I also opted to get the new pair with the elastic band rather than the laces because the laces just wrap around the shoe, there isn't much keeping them in place and I can see that getting kind of annoying when the come loose. They are cool looking and have excellent support. My feet tend to get sore after walking on pavement, but these seem like they will protect my feet better - as do my kinetic boots.

Bought the Sea Salt with the white sole. I'm a size 7 and bought the 7. I did not find them too big and the laces take care of any slipping. I walk and jog on a treadmill as well as just wearing them for style, not sure they would work as a running shoe for a serious outdoor runner but are perfect for my needs. Will purchase more from this company for sure. The 4 stars is the slip on style, if I had gone down a half size as recommended I would need a shoe horn to get them on as I have a very high instep and arch.

I adore the Sorel brand but this one, although attractive, was cut too low for my taste. They sit below my ankle which made them stick out like a sore thumb. Too bad because I really wanted to keep them, but it just did not make sense to do so.

Love this shoe! Super comfy but they run way too big. And when I say big I will be returning them for a whole size smaller. Typically wear a 8.5 but will return for a 7.5.

While these get a 5 star for fresh style and super comfort; they rate a 4 for fit. They don't fit like a traditional sneaker and the way the closure is configured, you can't really lace them tight and get that sneaker fit. It is a pretty loose fit and when I walked the sneaker flopped up and down. I normally wear an 8.5 or 9. I took these in an 8.5. They are worth a try if you want cool style. Sadly, they didn't work for me.

Very comfortable except the shoe laces do not stay tied.

Very cute, not comfortable for long wear though, they start to hurt around the narrowing part of the toe

I wanted to exchange for a different size but had to pay to return so just returned them in case I had to return the second pair, disappointing as would have been nice to see if I liked them in a larger size. Not sure about how supportive they were...seemed like the upper was more "flimsy" than other sneakers I have.

The shoes were not cushioned as I expected-had a much more "hard" insole than other brands I own. Also, the shoes had a pointed toe rather than rounded, this were not as comfortable as I expected. I have mine away rather than go through the lengthy process to return.
