These would have been super comfy, but the front toe strap was too big for my foot. I had to return them.

I love the shoes. But they totally run at least an entire size to small. I read through the reviews and not many women mentioned that. Unfortunately I had to return them. To nervous about the sizing to order another pair.

These do feel like you are walking on air. The length is good in my standard size, but my foot pushes forward and moves back and forth because the band is way too wide. I adjusted the other strap, but it seems to touch the ground now and loosen when I walk...so I'm bummed and will probably return.

Love the look, wanted to love these pink ones. However, after thinking I could break them in after a few days, my poor pinkie toes was just raw. I do not have wide feet so this is surprising.

I had envied these all year and finally bought them. So disappointed in the way the front strap dug in. I don't have wide feet, though I do have the beginning of bunions and they hurt. Maybe make that strap adjustable or flexible fabric.

Received shoes today. They are comfortable but they are tight around the front of my foot, the band is very tight, not sure if they will stretch? May return because they are hurting my toes, maybe you should try selling wides, or maybe the shoes is not for people with wide feet.

Sorry but returning them because they fit loose around the middle even at the tightest!

They fit nicely, however if it get hot your feet will sweat and create an odor.

As stated in other reviews, the toe strap on these sandals is not adjustable and WAY too narrow. I tried wearing them around the house, but they squeezed my toes and caused a nasty flare up of metatarsalgia (inflammation of the metarsal heads at the base of the toes). I do not recommend them.

I was so excited for these, but I will have to return them. The design is very nice and cute, and I think they WOULD be comfortable if the toe strap was adjustable. It is crazy tight, if you look in the video you can see that even the model’s feet are being squeezed by the toe strap. The sole seems nice and cushy, I really wish I could’ve kept them! They were tight on my friend who wears an 8 (I ordered a 9.5, a half size up from my usual) so that’s saying something. I feel that just by adding some elastic to the toe strap like you see on the heel strap it would have been drastically improved. So cute though :( I love a bright chunky sandal.

A little too narrow for my foot but mostly it's the back strap that make this shoe uncomfortable. Not sure I could walk all day in these.

I bought these in the hot pink/lime combo and love the fun color. Admittedly, I had a difficult time choosing between the lime, the mango and the pink. I wear a 10 and I have a relatively narrow foot, so I didn't have any issues with the straps. That said, the footbed was way too short. I have 15 pairs of Sorels of various styles so I was pretty sure the 10 would be fine, but as other reviewers have noted: this style runs small (or short, in my case). It may also be the shape of the footbed, which seems more almond shaped than other sandals. It doesn't look as good on my foot as I was hoping, but I'm going to try a half size up to see if that makes a difference in the size and look of the shoe. If not, I'll chalk it up to a miss and keep an eye out for something else.

The shoe is probably great, but because the sizing at Sorel is so inconsistent I got the wrong size.

I have the Sorel Kinetic sandals which I LOVE so I’ve been waiting to get these in the orange color and I finally did it. It is true to size and the style is very cool but that’s the only thing good about it. The color of the sole and the buckle are as pictured but the leather straps (from the picture I didn’t know it was leather) is actually a lot darker than the picture. I was looking for a really nice bright summer orange sandal and this wasn’t it. The strap at my arch was not comfortable even when I loosened it. Returning!

really uncomfortable fit. Tight across the toes and the toe strap is in an odd place on your foot.

Horrible I made the most of wearing them to Disneyland. My feet looked like ground beef after wearing them for an hour. I was forced to buy a pair of flip flops to get through the rest out day at the park. I thought they would be as good if not better than your sneakers. I was wrong. Very expensive mistake.
