Customer Reviews Blowfish Malibu Harper

Typically I wear a size 10 in most shoes/sandals. The 10 was too small in the Harper wedges - the straps were pretty snug across my foot and my heel was over the back just a little. I think they're probably a half size too small, but there's only an 11 available to size up to, no 10.5. I'm going to think about it and will update my review if I do size up to an 11. They are light weight and super cute, the heel is a little narrow at the base, so those with questionable balance should be aware. :) I like that the straps go down the side of the shoe instead of stopping at the cork, it's a unique touch.

Fit was true to size and the style and color was as expected. They were very light which is a plus. The only negative thing is there’s not enough padding and grip in the front so your feet can slip up and there’s a lot of pressure on the ball of your foot and not a lot of support to the arch. I had to put extra padding in the front.

The straps are surprisingly comfortable! The width was also comfortable for my wide feet. The arch support is pretty bad though. It felt a bit awkward wearing them because of that.

My star rating is based on the heel alone with no foot inserts, please keep reading to understand what I mean. Pros: super cute and stylish, perfect height to walk in but leads into the cons which is the footbed of this wedge. They are really hard, kind of like Birkenstocks. If you can handle Birkenstocks footbed, then these will be absolutely perfect for you. If you walk kind of hard or walk pigeon toed like me, these will hurt your feet. i decided to try to put foot inserts for high heels and they are a game changer. So if you’re feet can’t handle a hard footbed like me, I HIGHLY recommend getting foot inserts. With the foot inserts I LOVE THESE wedges but without them, the wedges are painful to walk in.

Very cute sort Keds style shoe. Wide shoes are too wide for me but many shoes are too tight. These were too snug for me.

Comfortable yet looks nothing like the picture. The picture looks more like a cognac brown and looks very clean. The actual shoe is very light or pale brown and doesn’t look as well made as the picture.

Classic

I have a pair of Blowfish Hanukus that I adore, and when they started to wear out, I thought I'd try another shoe by Blowfish. Unfortunately, these didn't work for me at all! I ordered them in the same size as my Hanukus, but the horizontal seam was wickedly tight over the top of my foot. I was in pain after wearing them for only a few minutes. They were the right length, just far too tight to wear. Total bummer!

For me, these were rock hard with no give. It felt like standing on wood.

These shoes look adorable, but their soles are made of a material that feels like felt. As soon as I put them on, I slipped on my hardwood floors. I think they are dangerous footwear! I returned them immediately.
