I really love how these shoes fit, felt and looked, but they were too small/snug. Everyone's feet are different, but I'm usually a 7 and a 7.5 would've fit better. As others have said, the velcro strap is very short. I have narrow feet and did not have any problems fastening these despite how short it was.

Love the stye and color, and the easy on-and-off with the velcro strap. These are a little snug compared to the other Sorel sneaker styles I've owned. They are breaking in a bit more as a wear them, though. They aren't uncomfortably tight but you might want to size up half a size if you plan to wear these with anything but sock liners.

I bought these about a month ago and after wearing them for just two weeks, the strap isn't able to be adjusted tighter, so they are super loose. They were awesome the first few times I wore them but the Velcro on the side needs to be about a half inch longer.

I have had a previous version of the Kinetic's and LOVED them. When I received these the Velcro on the strap was way too short. I am sadly returning them. Otherwise the shoe itself and the rest of the fit was great. Big bummer.

The shoes looked huge coming out of the box. Thought they may be wrong size. They were the correct size. Very comfortable Closure strap just closed. Could have been a little longer. It doesn't have sufficient arch support. I have over the counter orthotics which will correct that issue

Wore these today and had on no show socks, so my Achilles' tendon kept rubbing on the back of shoe and left a blister. Not sure how to fix it without wearing full socks.

I really wanted to love these. They are gorgeous. But too tight and straps don't stretch.

These looked like they would be wonderfully squishy comfy, but they really weren't. I was hoping for a foam-sole feel, but it was much more normal-sneaker feel, and I've been spoiled by some super soft Hokas that seem to be good for my joints. The toe box was also more narrow than I'm used to. But the arch support was good and I found the velcro strap to be long enough. I decided to send them back and try for a more cushioned sole.

I love the look of the shoes but umfortunately I am returning them. VERY NARROW for me and I can even wear them.

I have a very high arch and instep. I couldn't get the top strap over far enough for the velcro allowed. They look great, sorry to return.

Sometimes the straps don't stay closed. They are comfortable and have a lot of support!

I see others writing that the strap is too short to secure. I have the opposite problem with a really narrow foot. The strap is too long and it barely secures the Velcro. Also, the lip in the back and the outward angle of the back sole make your feet appear way larger than they are. These shoes are quite comfortable and lightweight and I do like the look of the trendy strap instead of typical laces. These sorels are just ok compared to my other Sorel shoes.

Comfy well fitted shoe but not crazy about the lip on back, it hits the back of our stairs so I have to wait to put on until I get downstairs

These shoes are tight around my foot. I have a narrow foot so they still work. I would not order these shoes if you have a wide foot. I do, however, like the style and shape of the shoe.

I agree with some of the other reviewers about the straps being too short. I also feel like I have to break them in a little more than other Sorel kinetic sneakers I have. However, cute style.

I've been wearing my new sneakers regularly in hopes the strap for the right shoe stretches a bit. Although the size and width are fine, after a while I feel discomfort in my right foot. It has begun to loosen, however, I was not expecting to take a few weeks to break in. Wish there was more give in closing the straps. I do love the color!

I love the look of this shoe. It's is by far what we know and love about the brand. However, as a healthcare worker, I walk a minimum of about 4 miles a day. These shoes are not made for long term wear in my opinion. The soles of my feet are so sore after wearing them exclusively for about 2 weeks at work. I am super bummed because I love the look, just not the comfort.

These are very stiff. I am hoping they will give with use. The arches are minimal so if you need that support, it isn't here. They are flat enough to add a gel support without pulling out the padded shoe bed.

such a cute shoe at such a good price. I really like Sorel's. I have a pair of hiking boots that I wear all the time and are heaven on my feet. These were not. They were narrow and I don't have a narrow foot. Not much room in the toe box at all and I got a 1/2 size up (which I usually have to do with Sorel). Despite that they were stiff and the strap barely fit over my to fasten and I was wearing thin socks. I might have tried another 1/2 size up, but doubt that would help with these. Really unfortunate.

Loved the shoes but just like the other reviews I can also confirm the Velcro strap is too short. It just closes but I didn’t have socks on when trying them on.

Ran a little large and with the exaggerated sole these unfortunately made my feet look huge.

Cute, comfortable, but be careful going down the stairs. The back of the sole sticks out further than I'm used to so it catches on the stair on my way down.

They look nice and seem to be good quality. My only issue is that there is not much adjustability in the straps with the velcro. They are painfully tight, and there is not enough room to make them looser. Not a great choice for anyone without small feet.
