Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic™ Impact Slingback Heel Sandal

I have 3 pairs of the kinetic impact slingback heel and I would love them in hot pink and turquoise and even a lime green color combination. I can run in these shoes!! I wear them all day with out discomfort. I stand and walk all day and my back doesn't hurt (bulging disk 2017). I have not had any issues with the Velcro straps but I long for buckles.

Love these sandals, where them sightseeing all over the US. Have major back problems and these are great. Very stylish, couldn't be more pleased.

Most comfortable sandals Ive owned. Ever. Great right out of the box. Bought the green and am considering the tan as well. I get compliments every time I wear them.

Just received my sandals today. They're everything I wanted EXCEPT a major design flaw on this new version of the Kinetic Sandal. Epic failure with the new padded cross strap because the strap offers no options to adjust or vary for the right fit!! I have a high instep and while the strap crosses over top of my foot the tiny 1 inch velcro tab wasnt even long enough to loop in the D- ring! I waited all season to get this shoe and Im so disappointed and now have to.go.throught the trouble of returning . The previous Kinetic sandal had an amazing longer adjustable strap with velcro. The new version seemed like it focused on a comfy new padded strap but no considerstion for customers with higher instep.

The ankle strap is not adjustable n too loose. Ordering a smaller size.

These sandals are amazing! Comfortable right out of the box. Im a middle-aged professor who is on my feet lecturing for hours at a time and walking all over campus. Im long-past heels or flat sandals with no support. These are perfect! Just dressy enough to wear with dresses or pantsuits. And of course, they work for casual or active outfits as well. Ill definitely buy a second pair!

The band on the front should be a bit wider...cuts slightly into my toe.

I wish the Velcro strap was adjustable. The strap around the ankle one size and the strap cannot be adjusted smaller or larger, hard to explain but my left ankle is smaller and I cannot tighten strap. I really like these sandals but I do notice that the Velcro strap does suddenly come undone on one of the shoes, I'm hoping this is just a flaw in this one shoe. I did order another pair in a different color before realizing the strap didn't tighten and the Velcro gives out. Really cute feels good on wish the Velcro worked better.

Got rid of my back pain immediately. I saw someone wearing similar shoes and I ordered them just for looks. Now prior to my shoes arriving I had just gotten an x ray of my back. I was in so much pain. I am an aesthetician. I hunch over people all day. I wear Hokas to work. So it wasnt like I was in bad shoes. Anyways I decided one day that I was going to wear my new shoes to work. Just for fun. What happened was amazing. The heals must tilt, my back just so corrected my posture and they feel amazing. I wanted to cry with joy. You know how it is with back pain it just makes your life miserable. They also are so comfy. I ordered 2 more pair and may order 1 more. I think everyone in reno maybe ordering them. Thank you so much for making this shoe.

I received these as a gift a few months ago and oh my GOD are they amazing!!! I have walked for MILES at a time with them! They are so so comfortable and have never given me blisters. They are also extremely cuteI get compliments on them all the time! Despite wearing them 24/7 on different terrains, theyre holding up SO well. RUN, dont walk, to buy these amazing shoes!!

These shoe runs super, super, narrow!!!!!!!!!!! They HURT me even just trying them on, then standing up in them is much worse, If a shoe is uncomfortable to try on in your home, they will not change outside. Swelling in summer heat and walking will just worsen things. ********I don't believe in breaking in shoes********* .Why do that at 150.00 a pop. They will not break in that much.......never buy a shoe with that in mind they need to feel good from the onset. These smash my little toes so much just standing up in them both shoes right and left. The footed feels great, and I do think these are some of the coolest looking shoes, I've seen in a long time, even my son "LOVED" them. I was so looking forward to wearing these with my outfits and even bought some things to go with this shoe for my trip to Italy, these were my birthday gift. I am so dissapointed, no one spoke of this in the reviews being narrow they must have bigger sizes. I tried on a 6 in another style and they were very big in the length through Amazon, had to return but were not narrow. I was dissapointed doing that too. I am not sure if these went up a size if it woukd change. The 6 is not available and 6 was to big to begin with, my foot fits fine in the length of the 5 the cross strap just smashes toes; big time maybe larger sizes do not run so narrow. I think I'm going to have to give up on this line of shoes since 6 is too big 5 is too tight. These were 150.00 that is a lot of money for me and I splurged. I do not want to be charged any fees for returning these shoes I bought these in good faith, read all reviews at a 4.7 rating

Very comfortable. Love the color but doesn't match with a lot. Back heel is huge!

Otherwise, beautiful, comfy, lightweight sandals..

I now have four pairs of Sorel sandals, so clearly I love the brand. It's the only brand I can buy online without having to try them on first, because I know what to expect.They're always true to size, at least for me, and are the perfect width for my feet. I got these for my birthday in white. And as much as I love them I will give them 4 and a half stars. The half star is missing because unlike my other Sorel sandals, the velcro straps on this model just don't have enough length to them to adjust for comfort for women who have high arches like I do. I almost returned them but I was able to stretch the fabric out so that my arches didn't feel like they were 'trapped' and in pain from too much pressure on them from the straps. So, ladies, if you have bigger arches consider that prior to purchasing them. Another thing is that the sole gets too many 'wrinkles' from walking in them, like they are compressed. Having said all that - they are awesome, comfortable, stylish, every day shoes. A even though they get dirty you can clean them off with a polyester cloth.

These are the most comfortable, cutest & most versatile sandals Ive ever worn. So many compliments. Absolutely love them.

Problem is that Velcro strap is too short , My upper foot is not wide , but I have high arch . It wont close all the way . I love the shoe , but had to return . Sorel please make the Velcro closure longer . I would buy agin

I love the look and comfortable short term but got blisters on my toes after a night of dancing

I love the style, and always love Sorels! Unfortunately I will have to return these, the band across the instep does not cinch down far enough to hold my foot in place. I have other 7.5 Sorels with no size issue. These don't work for me.
