Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic™ Impact Strap

I Bought these shoes a year ago in a size 8.5 (I usually wear a 9 but reviews said they run big) and they fit perfect! Saw these on sale so I went ahead and got the same size. These fit way smaller and was super tight around the ankle! Had to send them back:(

Way too big make sure you check size. These run big and wide

My shoes have a hole in them already which is disappointing because I just got them.

I purchased 2 pairs of shoes this style and my 2nd pair of Kinetic Impact Lace Sneaker...which I absolutely love because they are super comfortable! Unfortunately this style is much narrower and was difficult to get on my foot. Sadly I'll be returning them.

These shoes are super cute! Other than that I didn't like much else. They don't have any arch support. Too tight on the ankles.

I have small narrow feet and the strap was still too tight. They look cute but that's all I liked. They are also pricey for sneakers.

I absolutely love Sorel shoes - especially for shock absorption. I have flat feet, so this is super important for my foot health. These shoes, however, are not suitable for those with flat feet. There is a hard, rubber/plastic piece at the bottom of the foot bed, on the outside of the shoe, that digs into your foot if you have collapsed arches. You can kind of see it in the pictures. I'm sure it's not a problem for those with regular ankles; as it looks like it's meant to be a support mechanism at the bottom of the mesh material. However, it really hurts for those of us with flat feet. I returned mine immediately. Super disappointed :(

They are insanely tight on the top of the foot and against the Achilles. I could hardly stand to wear them, but I love the aesthetic and simplicity of the shoe. Just wish they were more comfortable.

I love the style and the color (I got the grey for work). They are super comfy but run a bit big. When I'm walking sounds like I'm wearing flip flops. I'm usually a 9.5 in shoes but I recommend downsizing by a half size maybe. I'd return mine for a smaller size but I got excited when I opened mine and threw out the box and wore them to work already. So a bit of a waste of money for me for such an expensive shoe. I'm going to donate them to someone with a bigger foot.

I bought these a couple weeks ago I'm on my feet for work and just like some of the other reviewers have said they rub against the back of your ankle and it hurts!!

Unfortunately, they are not comfortable at all. The shoes are narrow and very tight in front & loose at the back. I can not wear them for more than an hour. My toes start to hurt and my heels keep coming off from the back. When taking them off I have to bear the pain in my feet and legs for hours. Not comfortable for walking let alone for running. I just kept them for their look & color.

I love the shoes, super comfortable and easy to slip into. Really disappointed that the mesh is not a little more durable, a hole in toe of shoe within 2 weeks of light wearing, need to return and get a different shoe.

These shoes are made very wide! I exchanged for a full size smaller and they are still pretty big. Other than fit, shoes are awesome.

These shoes run extremely wide! I've exchanged for a full size small than I always wear and they still "slop" when I walk. I've never had issues with a narrow foot. I'm so sad and disappointed because they are awesome, beautiful shoes and very expensive, but just don't fit right!

I'm so sad to write this because I initially LOVED these shoes. Fresh out of the box they are so incredibly comfy. I jog 6-8 miles per day on concrete trails or at the very most a dirt path. These were never my rough terrain shoes. Even then, I've had them for less than two months and they're already in worse condition than shoes I've had for years. Holes in the fabric and the insole feels blown out with no support. They stretch way out to be too big. I wanted to love these so much but they let me down

I love the look of these sneakers and really wanted them to work. However, the fit is just not for me. I ordered the shoes both in my true size and half a size smaller. In both cases, the bottoms of the sneakers slip off every time when I take a step. They were both returned.

I love the look of these and the support is great, but I can't wear them because my heels slip out when I walk. The shoe fits fine, it's just that the back is too short. I would return them if I hadn't thrown out the box. They don't slip as much if I am not wearing socks so I will wear them casually, but will not wear them for walks, which was the reason I bought them.

Just received them. I was so excited. I by everything Sorel. I have the old ones and love them. This style is way too big, no support, and doesn't feel like great quality for the price.

Not much arch support. Not ideal for long walks, but fine for short distances

These shoes look good but are sized WAY TOO BIG. I already went down a 1/2 size since there are no laces and the shoes are still too big for me.
