Wanted to like these but they just didn't work. For some reason the bottom of my foot was not comfortable . At first the arch seemed off, like it didn't align with the arch of my foot, but then it settled in. I have a bunion on one foot and the lower strap was more comfortable than I thought it would be. Despite those positives, they still weren't comfortable enough for me to walk in, and I was hoping to use these sandals for relatively medium length walk to town (about 20 minutes) as other reviewers seemed to do. I thought the design was fun and different ( I got the black sandal with the white toe straps and a pale green zig zag along the bottom edge of the shoe). Sadly though, they're just not comfortable enough for me to wear them long enough -- I'll be sending them back.

I have several pairs of these shoes. I love the color combinations and they are so comfortable all day. My only issue is that I have a thin foot and I wish the Velcro strap had a longer piece of Velcro so the strap could be tightened to fit a narrow foot. I had my cobbler fix the strap for me and now I can wear my shoes without them being too loose.

Love these shoes - very comfortable - only complaint is that I have a high instep and wish the Velcro strip was a little longer.

These shoes look great and are comfortable overall. I did expect more footbed cushioning given the brand, and some arch support wouldn't hurt either.

Super easy to wear. I danced for two hours right out of the box. Normally wear a 6 1/2 and purchased a 6 1/2. As for style, they are right in the middle of adorable funky, and old lady. You choose.

Style and look is fire! I wanted to love these, but knew I wouldn’t enjoy wearing them. The fit and quality was just off. The strap across the front was a bit snug, at the same time the length was too long. There’s no give in the materials. Very sad to return.

I almost bought last year's version of this shoe. I'm 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 didn't 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 I'm 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 don't 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

I really, love the style along with the colors of pink with black and white ankle strap, but these didn’t work out and returned them. I was hopeful that these sandals would serve my purposes of comfortable urban walking sandals that are also stylish. They do not have cushion/padding and therefore are too hard for me and hurt my feet. Also, the velcro fasteners are not long enough for my ankles, which does happen in other shoes too, but just adding this to any others who have narrower ankles. There is no arch support too. I DO like the sole a lot and how it is a bit wider in the forefoot for more stable walking.

Great looking shoe, well styled. Hard as a rock footbed that lacks support. Sadly returning.

Shoe seemed long; band over front of foot was tight, and I imagine would chafe. Flat foot bed.

I was so super excited to get these sandals in this great turquoise color. My local Nordstrom never carries these so I had only reviews of sizing to go off of when I ordered. I actually sized up a half-size just in case. However, these sandals make me realize how much I hate velcro for straps. The velcro sticky pad is so far to the side I had a hard time actually closing the shoes. Then, as I did a test walk in my house, the velcro popped open. Cool shoes, but sadly, have to return.

Super cute, sporty and hip. Fit true to size. Cushiony sole. Not keeping due to no arch support.

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 was very upset wearing these sandals. I couldn't walk a mile in them. I had a lot of calluses on my big toes, on my heels, and on my back. I'm shocked at how uncomfortable they are. I have two pairs from this company, which I bought on the same day and was very disappointed. Both pairs of sandals are very uncomfortable and rub blisters, I walked home in them through the pain and no longer wear them. Yes, they are beautiful, colors and leather, but they are simply not wearable. if there are more convenient companies for this money.

Love!!! So comfortable for every day wear, even to work in spring in summer. I wish I could wear these all year long. Great for my feet as they get older and uniquely stylish and on trend. The guys from my warehouse area at work have even taken notice of them and complimented me. :)

Super comfortable, like walking on clouds, I could walk an hour with no problem with these. However soon after wearing them a few times they started squeaking when I walked which is super annoying.

The strap is padded. That padding was hitting a spot on my foot that I know when walking, would have rubbed that spot raw. Great looking shoe, comfortable-but the rubbing (sigh)

Love these!! Stylish, comfy, and easy to dress up or down. The straps were a little looser than I expected, but not so loose that your foot moves around (just comfortable). Will be getting more in different colors.
