Super cute! For a fashion sandal, they have good support and a cushioned footbed. My one complaint is the elastic bands are quite tight.

Cute and comfy. I wear either a 7.5 or an 8 normally. I ordered an 8 and they fit nicely, a little more room at the toe than needed, but the straps are perfect, nit tight at all.

I own two pair of these sandals for two years now and I love the way they look on my feet. The size ran true to size for me (I have a narrow foot). The problem is that both pairs rub and cut in on my big toe. The solution is I just make sure to put a band aid on each toe before wearing the sandal.

Loved these and would have kept if the elastic around the ankles wasn’t so tight. I don’t know if it would relax or not so had to send them back

They started killing my feet after wearing them at work for 8 hours. I literally live in vapormax and havainaias so these are pretty comfortable, much better than some other ones I bought recently. The part that hurt was the leather strap on the front. I have thin feet and my feet were moving around while I was walking. The rest of my foot very happy. I do have super high arches and my back did not bother me at all. The soft soles are nice and the shoes look great. Overall I give them a 7/10.

Love these shoes. Love the price. They're very comfy, but you know they're sandals. Arch support really isn't there but it is cushiony so I'm fine.

I like Cole Haan, I have liked Bjorn, but they have kind of slipped on slyling and Amor des pieds

They were a bit too big. I usually order a 6.5 in Sorel boots. I would suggest a 1/2 down for the sandals. They are super cute. I wasn't sure if they might rub on my heel, or if that was because they were too big.

Fell in love with the Ela with jute trim the first time I saw them. They were comfortable right out of the box. Wore them on the airplane, all day walking no issues with fit. But I have noticed 3 areas where the black straps that hold the jute in place have broken so the jute is loose and looking frayed. No one else would notice yet but I'm afraid more will follow. I am not hard on shoes and have not abused them in any way .I have only had them 4 months and had hoped to get much more wear out of this beautiful sandal

I ordered these hoping they'd be the same as the original Ella Sandal I bought in September 2020. Unfortunately they're not the same. These are a bit longer in the inner sole and there's no stitching around the inner sole either, which makes the extra space at the front of the shoe, in front of my toes even more noticeable. The elastic straps are also a bit thinner than the original. The bottom of the shoe has more ridges than the original as well. The original style had 2 small pieces of circular hardware on the back of the shoe which I like more. I wish I knew those differences before I ordered. I asked a sales person via the chat function and they said the shoe was the same and to order the same size as I did before. I should've ordered my normal side instead of a half size up in this Ella 2. I hope Sorel brings back the original Ella sandal because I love the pair I have. I'll be returning the Ella 2.

I ordered my usual size in the Velvet Tan color. The length and width both fit well, the elastic straps feel a little tight and I have thin feet. The leather toe strap and heel both feel good right out of the box. Have worn them a few times but elastic has not stretched yet. Minimal arch support but soles are cushiony. Not an easy off/on sandel. Overall, I like the color and style and it's fairly but not perfectly comfortable.

Cute, classy sandal. I have a very narrow foot and the strap fit was not an issue - was originally worried that my foot would slip out, but that was not the case. I will say that I am a solid 9.5 in every shoe brand, even in Sorel. I had to re order a 10 because my toes slipped off the edge when I walked with the 9.5. Looks great with shorts or pants, dressed up or down.

cute and pretty comfortable. I have very narrow and thin feet (long skinny monkey toes lol!) and I ended up sending them back because the front strap was too loose looking.

These are really attractive-looking sandals, and even in the neutral color palette I selected, the shoes get noticed! I think they dress up and down, another plus. I am going to wear them often to see if the synthetic foot bed (really, Sorel?) is comfortable on days when it's hot, and days when I wear them for hours at a time, and if that's the case, I will buy at least one more pair in a fun color.

I have worn Sorel boots since childhood and was excited to try their sandals. I currently own the Caribou and Joan of Arctic both in 9.5 that have plenty of room for thick socks so I ordered the same size in the Ella, but Ella sandal definitely runs smaller than the styles of Sorel boots I own. They were comfortable enough and my toes were on the sandal but one toe on each foot went all the way to the front edge the "leather" sole that was framed by rubber sole which made the shoe look to small since my toes weren't within "the frame," I did buy the velvet tan so the sole is color-blocked it maybe okay if the sole was monochromatic.

I was pretty happy as soon as I saw them, they were just what I was looking for, comfortable and stylish sandals. But the crossing straps around the lower ankle/upper foot were very tight. Had to return. I don't have much luck with Sorel in width. I am a size 10 and love a wide width but can often do a M.

I wanted to love these shoes because I love the sorel brand but these were not comfortable at all. The sole was so flat and hard and thin…then the shoe felt really narrow and I have pretty narrow (flat) feet but they seemed a bit snug. Then finally - have to return because it pinched the outside of the back of my foot. Or felt like something was poking me which was odd and disappointing.

I really want to like these. They are beautiful shoes and I think they would be quite comfortable except for a small but significant issue with the fit. The back heel strap rubs against the inner arch of my left foot in a way that I don't think will improve with breaking in. Just walking around my apartment, it is clear that the shoes would cause significant blisters. That being said, if Sorel came out with a slightly different version of the shoe, I like them enough that I would be willing to retry them to see if this issue is fixed.

Like some other reviews, the straps cut into my foot and were not comfortable. Both the top straps and the lower straps which cut across a bunion on one foot. The style is cute but not a good fit for my feet.
