The shoe seems well made, the leather is soft, and I believe it fits true to size. Unfortunately the almond color is much more orange in person, whereas on my monitor it looked beige. I bought these to match a specific outfit, so I will be returning.

The left shoe seemed a bit cock-eyed. It looked suspiciously like the shoe someone else returned and of which they posted a photo. My left toes were moved right, hanging over the edge. The support is minimal. Can't hold a candle to the Comfortivas.

Shoes slipped badly in the heel. So much so that I'd return them if I hadn't worn them all day one day.

I was hoping for a softer leather. These would need to be broken in before I could wear them daily. They ran small.

For a $138 pair of sandals I expected softer leather. It feels very cheap.

They seemed like would have been ok but the left should was so stretched out that it flopped around like crazy while the right one was tight. Clearly someone had spent some time trying to break it in before deciding it wasn't for them. Now the color and size I liked is sold out - so not a happy camper right now.

The material is stiff and the edges of the sides, and one shoe flopped off my foot at the back. Will return.

Nicely designed shoe with attractive leather upper, but too wide for my narrow feet and zero arch support. Leather not soft so there would be a break-in period that might be difficult for bare feet, especially around the heel.

The material online looked like nice leather. The actual product, though it is leather, looked like a manufactured product. I realize leather comes from many sources and, as a natural product, cannot be uniform but it just didn't look right for the amount of money involved. Additionally, the almond color I received looked more yellow than the online picture.

Cute shoes, arrived just as pictured. No complaints there. But I personally prioritize comfort in my footwear. I tried to stretch these out and break them in by wearing them with socks around the house. And then wearing them on short walks with the dog. But the reason why I bought these shoes was a wedding, as dancing shoes, and they just don't cut it in terms of comfort. I have bandaids on blisters on my feet to make them even remotely wearable. They *look* comfy, like you could stroll around a city in them, but I truly could not do so. The soles don't have give to them like I assumed they would. There isn't any arch support. And the leather cut my heels and toes. Mind you, they fit perfectly and they look adorable, but I just can't walk in them without pain.

These shoes are cute but I sized down and after wearing for a week or two, they stretched and now feel slightly too big. They give me really bad blisters. Im so disappointed because I love them- I just wish they didnt kill my feet.

After reading so many positive reviews, I decided to finally splurge on my first pair of Nisolo shoes. I'm usually an 8 or 8.5, I first ordered the 8.5, but my feet were easily sliding out of them so I exchanged them for an 8. But since I have wider feet, the first time I wore these out they gave me some of the worst blisters I've ever had from shoes. How is everyone else not needing a break-in period? I would've returned these, but I'm pretty sure since I wore them out I cannot.

These are beautifully made sandals and I wanted to love them, but I was afraid they would cause blisters on my heels if I wore them for any length of time. I need my shoes to be wearable and comfortable when I take them out of the box.

These are cute and seem to be well made. There are other reviews that say they are comfortable, but for me theyre not. The footbed is completely flat. I know a lot of sandals are like that. I wore them for a few hours yesterday (with minimal walking time) and this evening the heel of my foot is really hurting when I walk. Ive never experienced this before. Im going to be really hesitant to wear them again. I dont think theres enough room in my usual size 6 to add any support or padding to the bottom. I wish Nisolo would consider making them more wearable/better for your feet. This was my very first purchase.

Second time ordering the shoes and they still don't fit. Really tight and narrow in the footbed.. Read through the reviews and couldn't find anyone that had problems with sizing but based off my experience be cautious of sizing

No doubt these are a high quality and thoughtfully made shoe. I was really trying to put my dollars behind brands like Nisolo that align with my values but man these immediately wore blisters into both of my feet . I ordered my normal size knowing the leather would stretch a little but they were just a tad too rigid to break in. Id still give Nisolo another shot and maybe just steer away from such a tight-fitting shoe.

My right huarache sandals arrived damaged. I can send a photo. One of the straps is almost split in two.

They look great and are beautifully made but I don't know if I'll ever get to wear them. I own a few other NISOLO items and they are so comfortable and beautiful but this pair just hurts.

Love love love how these shoes look. They're gorgeous. However, I ordered a half size up like the website suggested and they were way too big. So I exchanged for my regular size and they were soo tight and too small! Confused, I emailed nisolo right away and they were very kind. They said I must have gotten an anomaly when I ordered the half size up and they encouraged me to try again. So...I exchanged for the half size up again. Lo and behold, the new ones came and they were too big for my feet. At this point, summer was coming to a close and I didn't get the chance to wear these at all. I gave up and decided to just put them in my closet and try again next year. (Fingers crosses that my feet grow?!) Very bummed because they are really good looking shoes and I paid good money for them. Confusing experience.

These shoes are so stiff in the back, they gave me big blisters! I expected them to be soft, but the leather is lined with some semi-hard plastic or rubber which does not break in like leather does! Very disappointed, especially as they are not cheap shoes!

The sandals are beautifully woven with nice strong leather and the colors offered are gorgeous.
The only complaint I have is there doesn't seem like your factory has quality control. Last year, I ordered a pair of size 8 and they fit me perfectly. This summer I ordered another pair in the same size but different color. They are made so wide I had a hard time walking and one of them fell off of my feet while I was climbing the stairs!
It was a wonder I didn't fall.
Until you come out with a narrower width/fit I won't be able to buy any more shoes. That's really too bad because I truly love the look and feel of the genuine leather you use on the sandals.
