This is a great shoe that makes my size 12 feet look tiny. My only concern is stability of the foot on the shoe as my feet were sore after first wear, but I also was breaking it in. I love the sporty ath-leisure wear look of these- nicely current without being trendy. Fits true to size.

I have several pairs of Sorels and this might be the most poorly made. I've had them for a few months and the sole is coming apart.

I really wanted to love these. They are ok and do fit, but they are tight at the toes. Too narrow.Can't go up a size as will be too big.

Unfortunately I plan to return them. I like them and wish I could keep them - They just don't have enough arch support for me.

It is very comfortable but my toes are not able to show due to the front strap is to tight.

I want to preface this review by saying that I have a pair of AMAZING Sorel winter boots that I've had since 2001 and I love them. I've never tried any other Sorel shoes or sandals and I was very excited about these sandals. But alas, the toe strap was super narrow and tight and I have returned them. I have normal-width feet so I was really surprised at how narrow these were at the toe. Perhaps I'll try some other styles in the future that have an adjustable toe strap.

I really wanted this style to work on me. The left foot felt fine. The right did not have the same fit. I have high arches, but both shoes missed the arch support by being closer to the heels instead. It was worse on my right foot, which is a bit smaller than my left. Having the arch support closer to my heel and the strap across my toes, did not allow my right foot to have a natural flex. I tried to adjust the strap, but that did not help. Also, the texture on the foot bed was a bit rough. Alas, they are to be returned.

These are almost perfectly comfy, but the band around the toe area is tight and it doesn't seem to be stretching out. However, the sole is wonderfully squishy

These dont come close to the quality of the Kinetics I bought a couple of years ago (I bought two pairs) one is longer in the foot bed than the other, the strap across the top has been finished very well and the peach paradiso is much brighter than the soft peach in the photo. Am happy with this pair but doubt I will get the longevity I have with the kinetic, love the kinetic

These shoes look nice but are very uncomfortable. I bought them because they looked like half tennis shoe, half sandal thinking they would be super comfortable. I wore them to work for 4 hours and my feet were so achy. I gave them a couple of days before I wore them to work again, this time I just had them on for 2 hours and I was so disappointed because they still made my feet hurt. These were going to be my go to comfortable shoes but now I hardly use them. Thought that because they were pricey they would be great shoes but that was not the case. I do love the way they look, but everytime I think of how achy my feet are going to be I just go for my old shoes and weat those instead. I would like a refund but have already used them on two separate occasions.

So disappointed with these sandals. Little arch support for stability and the insoles was uncomfortable. I was looking for a sandal with support and spring and found neither.

Sad that Sorel removed my review because it wasn't flattering to them.
Here is the real scoop: front strap is very tight and not adjustable.
Foot bed has a texture that rubs against your sole and left my feet RAW.
I bought it for a trip to Europe (it's really hot here) and lost two days of the trip with my feet so hurt that I couldn't walk.
As a disclaimer, I have many other Sorel shoes that I love, but not this one.
Yet, I felt very bad that they removed my review (with pictures) because it didn't serve their purpose.
Don't buy this if you plan to walk a lot.

Very narrow. And ankle strap too short. Have to have super skinny ankle. They look much more bulky in person. Also very disappointing to pay to return. Id assume that such an expensive brand would offer free returns/exchanges.

These looked comfortable but I'm returning them because the back strap cuts into my ankle bone making it impossible to walk comfortably.
