Cute shoe, but the straps hit right on the worst part of my ankle which is still recovering from a bad sprain. I can't wear them. Also, no arch support at all and that will not work for me, either. I missed the mark when I decided to order these. If you don't have foot problems as I do, they may work! Nice design.

Not enough support.., can't wear them for long periods of time. Purchased them for an upcoming international trip and will not be able to take them with. My legs and back hurt which usually does not happen.
Great fit but disappointed!

Want to love these. I really like them and they are so cute but they cause blisters in the back after walking for awhile. Trying to break them in, in advance of my Europe trip but I don’t know if they will make it.

I have wide feet but can usually wear regular shoes -- not these! They were longer than regular 8s (I'm usually an 8/8.5 and got the 8s; these had a good half inch at the toe) and too narrow for me. I don't think I could have walked for miles in them anyway, but it's hard to tell because of the fit.

They are high quality sandals that I really like, but I had to return them! They run narrow, and they would be very uncomfortable for me.

I like them, but they are way too tight over the ball of my foot, so I have to return them. I do not wear a wide in any other shoe, but these are just too narrow for me.

I love the look of these shoes! The soles are very comfortable. However, the ankle straps are so tight against the top of my feet that I find within an hour or so of wearing my feet are swollen, which makes them uncomfortable to wear & is not the hottest look!! Be weary if you have circulation issues!

These shoes were comfortable and really cute, but alas not supportive enough for my old feet. Quality seems good. I will keep trying with Sorel as I've been very pleased with other shoes I've bought from them.

Leather is quite stiff and elastic is a bit tight on my ankles. Returning unfortunately.

Fit is good, however the front toe straps rub my toes a bit. My first longer walk I ended up with blisters. Very disappointed, since my friend has a pair and they work fine for her.

The footbed was oh-so-comfy and the sandals were perfect with its easy slip-on style. However, had to return them because the ankle straps were way too tight. I tried both 7 (my usual sandal size) and 7.5, but my ankles were suffocating in both. Really wish they worked, but had to return them.

These Sorel sandals look as if they would fit, although the color is a bit darker than I expected. However, I have to return these because they are not in their original box, have no packing whatsoever, and look as if they have been either worn or tried on a great many times. Perhaps they came from someone's closet? I don't know, but I am not paying for them ---or wearing them. Disappointing.
I'd also recommend:

I love the casual and universal look of this sandal. Unfortunately, the two elastic bands do not accommodate my higher instep and I find the bottom of my foot going numb because it's cutting off my circulation. The leather band across my toes also hits in a way that digs into my pinky toes. I'm hoping that the shoe will soften and stretch with wear, but it's fairly uncomfortable right out of the box.

I love sorel shoes. The ones bought in 2016 wear like iron and look great these years later and I get complicated every time I wear them.
I bought another pair of these sandal in a different color and size to see if it makes a difference before sending these back. The need pairs for narrow feet which I have, and they are too big. Hoping the different size will help.

The length was great, but the strap near the toes was so tight and had no give (and I have fairly narrow feet). I was so disappointed because I otherwise loved the style and was really looking forward to getting these. Sadly, I’ll be returning.

I love these sandals. I wear a size 6.5 normally but bought size (6 and they fit perfectly. I can wear casual or dressy casual. Only thing I was upset about was I wore with my skinny straight leg blue jeans and the color rubbed off onto the white crisscrossed fabric strap. Now I only wear with white pants.

Foot bed comfortable. Fabric/Elastic was tight on my feet. I returned. Looked well constructed for the right feet.

They're not the most comfortable for long time periods. The back does run on my heels too. They do look very nice.

I really wanted to love these but couldn't get on board with the elastic around the ankle. I feel like my legs were being slowly squeezed and I'm not sure how comfortable it would be all day. I wish it wasn't so tight because they are super cute (although the arch support is nill).

Nice. Should have rechecked the sizing as they are about half a thumb too big. I kept them, but I see myself tripping. In the middle of moving so didn't send back. That's on me.

I tried these on at nordstrom rack and they were an 8.5 my usual size but a little bit too small. I sought these out here in a 9 to make up for them being too small.
I read the reviews about people who wore them and got blisters but got them anyways. I can see how wearing them all day would result in blisters. The straps around your ankle are very mobile, not loose, just stretchy and nice feeling, however the foot bed and the way the strap that goes over your forefoot/ball of foot is more firm and makes it so your foot doesn't move as much resulting in a feeling like it's sticking probably causing the blisters. I am going to wear them a bit longer and see if this continues.
Overall they are not the most comfortable sandal, but they are super cute and can be worn for less walking and more just casual hangs.

Nice simple shoe, not as comfortable as I thought it would be. No arch support.
