After breaking several bones in my foot last year finding shoes that provide support and comfort is a challenge! These are very supportive and comfortable as long as I don't use the center black piece as it is way too tight.

Love the comfort. For the summer I'm using these in place of sneakers because they're more comfy. I bought both black and fawn. Only complaint with the fawn is it looks like bandages, as I've been asked by some people. I think they could've designed the colors differently. I'll be buying the sneaker with same footbed.

I have narrow feet and the velcro straps almost don't latch on. Otherwise these are good enough comfortable sandals. I wouldn't recommend them for narrow feet though if you are concerned about style as they sort of swamp your feet.

Great orangey-red color. Was looking for a "sneaker sandal", fashion forward option. Comfortable but the straps are pretty wide. Combined with the sock sleeve part in the middle it makes the whole shoe look clunky and unwieldy. Bummer to return.

Nice looking, the ankle strap is a bit rigid. Toe box narrow, had to go up a half size.

a great look BUT very wide around the ankles so the strap stuck out when adjusted for my slim (but not skinny) ankles...and ultimately not adjustable enough. Too bad because they were great looking!

I bought these sandals in the fawn color and am thrilled with them. They will go perfectly with shorts, leggings and joggers. I'm glad I sized down a half size. I have a narrow foot and my only complaint is the top strap that goes around the ankle is a little loose. Wish the velcro was longer so they could be adjusted a little tighter but I can make it work.

I really wanted to like this shoe, but the part that the strap loops through hits my ankle bone and is uncomfortable. Too bad, they are really cute. I normally wear a 7.5 but these run a bit big, I would have sized down to a 7 if they were comfortable.

I really wanted to love these, because Sorel wedge sandals and boots are among the most comfortable shoes I own. These sandals are no exception in the comfort area: the footbed accommodated my somewhat wide foot and the wedge heel was very sturdy. I bought them because I was going to be doing a lot of walking in Europe on cobblestones. It was OK for me that the strap over my toes was not adjustable because it fit just right, and the continuous strap that covered my ankles and the top of my foot was adjustable. I just didn't like how the sole looked: it's in two pieces and the profile was unflattering. It was too chunky and didn't look good on me, so they're going back.

I have looked at these since the spring and finally decided to order them when they went on sale. I wanted to love them. I thought the color was a good neutral and they looked so comfortable. Unfortunately, the back strap came up too high on my foot and I knew immediately it would rub a blister, so back in the box to Zappos they go. The search for this sort of sandal continues.

I was so excited about receiving these sandals. Although I have a foot that tends to run slightly narrow, I was still hopefully that these would work b/c of the adjustable velcro straps. Still too wide for my foot and I unfortunately need to return them. Sad.

I hated to return these, but I need good arch support and I felt they would not be comfortable for a long period of wearing. Love Sorel's new upscale designs and will look at other Sorel shoes.

Would have really liked for these to be the ones but they just aren't. There isn't any support, and there's not really a way to add any insoles. Such a big bummer because these look so cool!

I wear a 9.5 wide Brooks Glycerin (neutral balance) shoe, into which I insert PowerStep ProTech inserts - for me cushioning is everything. I'm older, walk for exercise and have very little fat on my feet and ankles. For me, these sandals were a bit long, but the width seemed okay - but the straps were extremely long. The velcro tabs on the strap reached almost past the velcro connection on the other straps, so the sandals had major floppy straps." That said, I liked the feel of the base when I walked, but they will not work for me. I'll keep looking for comfy walking sandals that will accommodate my wide feet!

It gives me blisters because the straps going over the bridge of your feet is quite rough and rubs all the time

This could be such a cute shoe if it curved in at the vamp instead of looking like a solid brick on my foot.

I watched the product video viewed all the pics taken from every angle and side… but when they arrived and I tried them on they looked like I was wearing a tan ace bandage that a foam sole had been added. Sad, I was really hoping to love them- returned

So disappointing. Not wearable as the straps cut into my ankles causing ulcerations after a 15 minute walk. I will not be purchasing Sorel products again.
