These are so cute, ordered in two colors. I don't feel that they have the greatest arch support and the strap around the toes is a little snug but I cannot wait to wear them. So unique.

I really wanted to like these shoes, but they were not for me. They did feel comfortable and seem like they would provide a great deal of support, but I could not get past the overall style. Not enough options for me to adjust for a better fit on my feet.

Last year’s version of these sandals were super comfortable. Adding the fancy looking plastic, on the edge might have changed the comfort? These sandals feel less flexible and are hard on the foot compared to the last version which I could wear all day long yet they looked almost identical - something has changed. I hope Sorel brings the older version back.

Beware: I bought these direct from Sorel in a size 10, just like all my other Sorels, and these are huge. Returned to Sorel and am now going down a 1/2 size, maybe a full size, and buying from Zappos in case of needing to return.

Very cute, comfortable, but they arrived with loose foot bed at the toe of the left sandal. Almost like it wasn't pulled tight enough and it left an unsightly bubble where unfortunately is also visible. Quality control should have pulled this shoe. I'm disappointed because I will have to return and try again because I want to keep, but I also expect quality at this price.

These are great yet beware one must go through a break in period !! I bought these and thought i could zip about London on the first wearing and my bunion was not happy !! Got a few blisters and did wear again without issue yet did not put in many miles with them againand so wish Sorel would put in a softer, more breathable footbed !! Why oh why can't we get a moisture absorbing footbed on our sandals?? Gave these 3 stars because of blisters on first wearing (and in sorel defense, i probably logged in 8 miles on maiden voyage) and the non breathable footbed.

These are soooo cool looking. Unfortunately the shoes are oddly long and narrow. I’m usually a solid 9b and the 9s in these fit like 9a with almost no room for the toe box.

I like the shoe's, but the velcro straps are constantly coming loose, which makes them a problem to wear.

The problem is , it has a very short Velcro closure. I don’t have wide upper foot , but this closure is extremely short . I’m really disappointed because I love the style . Please let Sorel know that they need to have longer Velcro closure . I had to return with broken heart.

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.

I had a pair of these shoes last year - wore them almost every day for more than a year with no problems. Super comfortable and reliable. >> However - wore this new pair for 1 month and now the Velcro does NOT hold the shoe closed and one side of the padded sole has collapsed, so my foot slides sideways. I am stuck on a trip with these shoes and cannot walk a block without the strap popping off. Disappointed in the drop in quality!!!

These were advertised as adjustable, which I look for with a narrow foot- but are only adjustable by a few centimeters it seems and the Velcro comes undone and they fell off my foot- 5 times in first day of use. Cute but adjustable and secure would be preferable

PLEASE. Bring back the old design with the zigzag bottoms. The styles the last couple years have been horrible. These new chunky designs are not flattering and you can't wear them with nicer dresses like the older lace up Joanie's that I get tons of compliments on. Please bring that style back it's so much more flattering.

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.
