I have about 10 pairs of sandals probably in every color they made. I wear them all the time, to my work on Sundays, even two a 3 months vacation in Europe, I walk all the time there up and down those cabled stones streets and I never got a blister or my feet Hurt in pain! I am a shoe and high heels person, but since I discovered sorel sandals, thats pretty much all I wear all the time! Great brand I very much recommend anyone to trym Every I go people wants to now what brand they are even my doctor said she was going to buy a pair! I am size 7 and I buy size 7 they fit me perfectly! Sorel should give me a coupon for all the costumers they getting by me just wear there shoes, ahahah

I think I brought 3 pair in 2019/2020. I wore one for the first time in New Orleans walking around. After about 1 mile or more of walking, had to run to your sneaker store and buy me some sneakers. Bottom of my feet are blistered and very sore. Could barely walk the next day. I can NOT wear mines w/o insoles. I can't. It was bad.

Why is SOREL making the straps so big? I folded the fabric part and sewed it shorter or it would have been a return.

I have not worn this outside of the house since it's winter. The band feels really stiff and rubs against my toes. I hope it will get softer as I wear them often. The sole feels nice and soft and will be perfect for walking around town.

Love this shoe and get so many compliments every time I wear them. I do like the new padded ankle strap which helps prevent stretching of the strap as in older versions. I would give 5 stars if the sole style had retained its narrow lines -it has a wider bevel and more "clunky".

I have several years of these sandals and love them. HOWEVER, they are advertized for walking and the previous years that I own are very flexible and oh so comforatable and I can walk all over Europe in them. The 2023 Kinetic sandal is stiff and not as flexible, though comforatable to wear NOT as comforatable to walk. I hope they go back to making the more flexible version as I get so so many comments on them and how they look amazing because no other product out there flexes and bends with the foot for walking like these do. I am a foot specialist as a physical therapist and i have recommended these to so many of my patients but then explain the 2023 is not as flexible to support their walking.

These are hands down the most comfortable sandals I have every owned! Not only are they comfortable, they are stylish. I purchased them in black and loved them so much that I purchased them in White with orange heel also. I would have purchased other colors but sadly, they were sold out. They are comfy enough to be worn all day! They are also going to be great for travel!

I have bought two pairs of these shoes and buying a third. Love the comfort of these shoes. First and second pair do not fit the same. Strap around the toes are different: One is perfect, the other is tight but I've worn them on small sports and they have stretched just a bit. For the money, they should have a perfect fit with every pair. On other reviews, there is a problem with quality control with this issue. The other complaint is that when you wear for a long time, your feet sweat, the shoes get really slippery. I do love love love these shoes overall. You can wear all day for the most part.

Because the back strap isn't adjustable, the straps move a bit so I've been using anti-blister balm.

I LOVED these right away. Theyre comfortable and so cute. Unfortunately in less than 2 months the Velcro on one of them started falling off! Its like the thread that was sewn to attach the Velcro to the shoe had broken. I bought these through DSW so I had to go through them. The good news is it was considered a defect and I was able to return them, but the bad news is they dont currently have my size in stock in my color (the neutral/beige). I see currently Sorel doesnt have them in my size either. I assume the Velcro falling off is a fluke since sorel is a high quality brand and Im really hoping to replace my sandals. When I left the store I couldnt believe I was leaving without a replacement as I love these so much! So hopefully these will be restocked and specifically at DSW since thats where my store credit is lol.

As usual with Sorel you can't go wrong. Comfort, style, fit and compliments. I love this brand as I have over 20 pairs since discovering them in 2022

I usually wear an 8 1/2 in most shoes and these were a little too big. They seemed very comfortable as I only wore them around the house for a bit. I have a very hard time finding shoes to fit as my feet are a tad on the narrow side. The straps around the toes fit. I liked that you could tighten them up around ankles.
I'd also recommend:
I wanted to try the Sorel Cameron Wedge sandal but they didn't have my size.

Nice, a bit trendy. Comfortable to walk in. I wear a narrow, and while this sandal fit a bit wide for me, it was fine. My foot didn't slip or feel unstable.

No because I have always had the worst time finding shoes that dont rub and blister or cause pain and these are without a doubt the most comfortable sandals Ive ever purchased Ill probably grab more colors I dont care the price good footwear when you can find it is so worth it.

I really really wanted to love these! I love the look and thought they were very comfortable but I could not get the ankle strap to stay put. There isnt enough Velcro for the strap to connect to so it keeps popping open. I guess my ankles arent skinny enough lol. Sadly had to return.

These shoes look great and are comfortable overall. I did expect more footbed cushioning given the brand, and some arch support wouldnt hurt either.

The sandals look very cool, when I started walking I noticed that my toes were aliasing sideways and getting pushed on the edge of the rim and started hurting. If the width is little narrower or if the front strap was snug it would stop this problem. If it wasn’t for this I would have bought 2 more pairs in different colors

Stylish sandal, and super comfortable. The beige color is a little unusual but seems to go with most outfits. Love the vibe of the wave sole.

I want to love but the fit is not right. The strap by the ankle is too loose and there's no way to tighten it.
