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

Shoe itself felt great. But ankle strap doesn't adjust so it looked funny not being snug to my ankle. I wanted to love them! Very cushy, yet firm sole which is what I need for my constantly aching feet.

The original kinetic sandal was so much more comfortable. The new ones have a harder sole, thick strap- that rubs, and larger base. It also was just plain easier to walk in, and they looked more sleek. I purchased 7pair (a few for others as gifts.) Purchased one of the new models, and will not be buying them again.

I've been wanting a Sorel Kinetic sandal since last summer when the sandal's front strap was too wide for my narrow foot and the ankle strap was way too long. I'm glad that Sorel updated the model this year because this one is a keeper! So excited! It looks great on my narrow size 9 with high instep with semi-high arch. The arch support is not there but they seem wearable. I went shopping in them for 3 miles (about 6.5k steps) and only felt the start of blisters which never materialized. That's great for new sandals. There is some pressure around the ankle area but I am hoping to get used to it. I just love this style. I also ordered the Kinetic version with the separated heel. I'm only keeping this one as these shoes are way too pricey (they're mostly rubber and velcro). Overall, the style is FUN and I am hoping that I am close to the end of breaking them in. They are over-priced.

I ordered them for my upcoming trip and I tried them this past weekend. I love these sandals I wish they have them in more colors. As a person who doesnt wear heals and a mother of a toddler I found these sandals comfy and stylish.

These are nice in person and could be a comfortable shoe if it didn't run so wide and as someone else said I wish I could tighten around the ankle more but there's not enough velcro.

I almost bought last years version of this shoe. Im glad that I decided to see if there was a new style available, so I got them. They are stylish and comfortable, and I love that the top strap has an embossed pattern, rather than just being plain. I didnt see that in the pictures. When I wore them on vacation, my travel buddies loved them. HOWEVER, the pair I received had a big flaw, and Im surprised that no one else has mentioned it yet. The straps that go around your ankle are too short to reach the Velcro part. I dont have kankles, and I have several pairs of shoes with ankle straps and they fit just fine. I loved the shoes and I was going on vacations, so I had to fix the straps by adding Velcro to the strap so it would fit and stay. So far so good

The fit was good. I couldn't adjust to the uneven tread, felt like I was experiencing vertigo! Also did not like the plastic feel footbed

Returned. Cute shoe but it is not as comfortable as my split sole kinetic so I returned it. I wish they could make the kinetic line .lighter weight for travel

My only complaint with the sandals is the back strap that fits around the heel. I wore the sandals for the first time today and the heel strap was slipping up and down the heel There’s no way to adjust that strap. I’m really disappointed about the heel strap and it will limit my wear of the sandals. The Y strap does not work for my feet.

I think these shoes are so darned cute! But for me, the toe strap was too narrow and did not fit right over my toes and feet. I was so sad. I even thought about wearing them anyway. But that would not have been comfortable, so I had to return them.

I was really excited about taking these sandals on our trip to Italy however I had to return them because they hurt my feet. I have a bunion on my right foot below my big toe and the top of the strap is thick and covered the bunion and made it hurt. I need a skinner strap. I do like the look of these sandals so I was disappointed they didn't work out.

Fit was correct, two issues for me: minimal arch support, too loose up front makes it too easy to roll my ankle.

Toe area was too narrow for me causing strap to rub slightly. The rest of the shoe was super comfortable

Runs very wide. The shoe was too small in length, but I don't think it could go up another half size without my entire foot slipping through the front (unadjustable) strap. Wish the template for sandals like these was a more narrow shape because the materials can streth, but they can't be made tighter.

They are okay. The back strap fits a bit loose even though I chose my regular size and the foot is a bit narrow (I have never really found this to be an issue with prior purchases). I'd say the straps are what are uncomfortable even in the front. The cushioning, however, is pretty good along with the support.

I shouldn't have kept these but they are sooo cute. But, I am afraid to wear them because I might turn my ankle.

I should have returned these but they are cute and comfy. My problem is the Velcro strap. The Velcro parts don’t even hit each other. I had to make a fold in the strap and sew it so the strap was shorter and the Velcro could attach. Not a good design.

Too big. These looked great and felt like they would be very comfortable but I bought another very similar style by SOREL that fit perfectly. So I kept the other style and returned these. It was like they were mis marked by an entire size.

Wonderful shoes, but the straps are too big. I hope I can get a cobbler to add more Velcro!
