Color is a little more yellow-ivory and the mesh will show any color of sock. Trendy.

I believe they are the correct size but they are wider than other shoes which allows my feet to move a lot in the toe box causing some sore areas. The laces slide when tightening them so it's a little more tricky to get a snug fit than other shoes. I'm going to try different laces and see if it helps.

Nice shoes. They look cute with leggings. They are stable and supportive. Not the softest. I wear for weight lifting and walking. I would not run in them. Too stiff. They are a bit of a clunky sole but the mess on top is high quality. The tongue can get tucked under on the edges and dig into your foot. You must be mindful when you put them on. Easy to tie and untie and slip foot in.

Very cool shoes, comfortable...but seem a bit on the small side widthwise. Wished i would have gotten 1/2 size bigger.

Reviewing shoes is such a personal opinion...with that being said I am still breaking these shoes in so here is what I can say at this point. First a little "foot" background for me. I have wide feet with a very high instep. Pro's for me: very light weight shoe, very cute shoe, good structure of shoe so far. Con's for me: my heel seem to hurt a little more after long walks but I really only notice it on my foot that has a higher than normal instep(arch). Side note. I did size up a half size. I will continue to wear these shoes in the hopes that after they are broken in my heel pain goes away.

I like this light weight comfort summer sneaker. color is neutral so it fits to every clothing I have. I usually wear size 7 but I should have ordered half size smaller. Overall, it is nice.

I loved this sneakers the second I saw them in a catalog and right away ordered them. I'm 7.5 but they were too tight at the toes so went with 8 and they fit fine but the ankle is too high and rubs on my bone and at the front of my foot while walking, making them uncomfortable after just a little while. I decided to use them just inside the house in hopes they would break down and felt better but not working. Found another pair with similar colors to fulfill my wish of sneaker like this one but they were more expensive although very comfortable from the start.

These are the cutest sneakers I've ever owned; they're so light and so comfortable and waterproof on top of that, and breaking them in was fast and painless. However, at the price point, I was kind of expecting more in the way of durability and quality of materials/construction. Within a week of wearing them, I got caught up on a rock and the rubber on the toe peeled off a bit, so I'll probably have to superglue it down at some point to make sure the shoes stay waterproof. Additionally, the threading is also already starting to come undone around the detailing and the soles have compressed quite a bit, losing some of the "chunky" style that I love. Overall great and adorable shoes, and I hope they're able to last a long time, but do I worry about their lifespan and integrity.

I have purchased other Sorel shoes and they were very comfortable and felt true to size but these fit smaller than most Sorels. I purchased both a 9 (my regular size) and the 9 1/2. The nine was too tight and neither were good on my feet. They are very cute but just are not right for my feet.

I loved the look of these sneaks. I would definitely buy them for the look. I bet I would also get tons of compliments. The problem for me was that they are super narrow. I have a somewhat wide foot, but even if I didn't, these are much narrower than other similar shoes. Also, they don't feel incredibly well made. They are very very thin. I can see bursting right through them after a couple walks around a flea market or on a hike around the reservoir near my house (in other words, nothing too rugged...city life). Maybe I'm wrong though - just a hunch. But honestly, they are so cool, and otherwise, feel so good, I would buy them in a second, if they fit! Hope this helps.

The look and comfort seems fantastic, but they were too loose for me in the toe area. Ended up returning them. May not fit the best for anyone with a narrow foot like myself.

My whole life I was a 7.5 but after 3 kids I ordered my 6 pairs of sorel wedges in size 8 and they fit perfect with room for wool socks- so I ordered these in an 8. They run small. I'm so disappointed bc I really like them and now they are sold out of 8.5!

These sneakers are super comfy. But, they're a little snug in the toe area so I can't wear thick socks with them.

The shoe I bought was probably a half size too big. But it was very comfortable, except that the upper is some sort of heavy rip-stop plastic and is a little stiff and I found it not breathable. I usually try shoes around my house for 30 mins or so before deciding if they are keepers and I found that my feet were getting weirdly sweaty, which is not my usual foot response. And they're not supposed to be waterproof (which I would have loved), so again, a bit strange. So, I'm not sure about that upper and not sure if I'll order another pair a half size down. Because overall I really liked them. And the other colors are really fun.

Perfect style and comfort shoe. I love that Sorel came out with these as I love their Kinetics. But this style really stepped it up in the style category. These compete for me with the styling of the other unnamed brands in my closet. I usually choose these as most people don't have yet!

There were no reviews for this sneaker when I purchased them, but based on other reviews, I assumed they would run a bit big. Unfortunately, they run a little short in length. If I were just wearing them as fashion sneakers, that may be fine. But I want to be able to go on walks and be on my feet in them, so I need to go up a half size.

I love the look of the shoes but they are difficult to wear. The laces don't stay put as you tie them so you have to keep a lot of pressure to keep the lower part tight. There also doesn't seem to be enough width to the tongue towards the toe end of the shoe, so sometimes the fabric comes untucked and gaps on either side.

I wanted to like these, but, they just weren’t comfortable in my feet. They feel a bit too stiff for my liking so I had to return them. I think they might be best for light hiking, but urban walking, not so much. The colors and styling are very appealing.

I tried these shoes on at different store size 10 and it was small, so I got really excited when I saw 10.5 on website. But, however, I wore it for an hour and end up with blisters on my heals and small toes. The shoes are very loose in a heal and toe area, so it has to be extremely tight on a lace part. They are comfortable but poor design makes it unwearable. I am Huge SOREL brand fan. I owe hiking boots, sandals, and other tennis shoes, but these are something else. I will be returning it, cause not able to wear.

I love the look and the colors! And the awesome bottom tread! But sadly had to return because the pink laces go inside the sneakers almost at the narrowest part of the sneaker. I felt it dig into my feet and it was very annoying. I have slightly wider than average width feet. Come on SOREL…start making your shoes a tad bit wider. Whoever your shoe model is has way too narrow feet!!! Please make this sneaker wider or take out the inner shoe lace!
