These sandals are amazing! Comfortable right out of the box. I'm a middle-aged professor who is on my feet lecturing for hours at a time and walking all over campus. I'm 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. I'll definitely buy a second pair!

These are definitely true to size. I typically wear a 7.5, and these fit perfectly. I can’t tell you how happy I am with these sandals! They totally exceeded my expectations. Besides the fact that they are cool looking, they are so very comfortable. It’s like walking on pillows. I’m actually going to order them in another color too. Wouldn’t change a thing, except add more colors!

I returned the black ones because the color was way too in your face but I kept the tan color with green. They are super comfy and stylish. I can be on my feet presenting all day long with no heel pain. They add 2 inches to my height so YAAASSS. The black/white are pretty but a little too much for the muted colors I use for work. I love Sorel!!1

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, they're holding up SO well. RUN, don't walk, to buy these amazing shoes!!

Very cute sandal, and less clunky on the foot than I thought. I ordered the tan, white and pear colorway, which I love.
I did find the sandals to run large. I have long, narrow, low volume feet, normally a size 10, and I sized down to a 9 after reviewing the size chart. Happily, the 9 was perfect. The sandals are very comfortable, and a nice walking shoe. I didn't find the velcro strap at the ankle too short; just the opposite in fact.

This is a beautiful sandal that also happens to be very comfortable to walk in. Great sporty look, and can work with a variety of casual clothing

Very comfortable & fits well for petite feet, the velcro strap is not adjustable. I wear 5 so it works for me.

The front strap over the toes is NARROW!!!!! NO WAY a person with a wider toe box could make this work. For NARROW feet ONLY.

They fit fine and are super comfortable but the strap across the top makes them look to orthopedic for my liking. If y9ou don't mind that then they're great!

SUPER CUTE! However, not for narrow feet and ankles. The style is fabulous. However, the tiny velcro strap closure leaves zero room for size adjustments.

VERY NARROW!!!!!
The strap that goes across the toe box was extremely narrow. NO WAY anyone with a remotely wide foot could wear this! Which is weird because this is kind of a chunky design, so I think it would look strange on a tiny little dainty, NARROW foot!? Sending these back.

This is a worse version of the original Kinetic sandal. Love the look of this, but as other reviews have mentioned, the velcro strap is tiny and any small motion can make it come completely loose. Whereas I could walk in the original sandals all day long, inconvenient places I've had the strap come loose include: walking down the stairs on ancient Greek ruins, running through the airport, and even just walking around a hotel. I'm lucky I haven't catapulted myself into anything yet. Stop cheaping out on the small details that made the original Kinetic so great.

The style of these shoes looks great BUT there is only one slender, short and inadequate velcro tab to hold them onto your feet - very disappointing as they are otherwise quite comfortable, stylish and not extremely heavy. Surprised that a brand like SOREL would equip these sandals with such a CHINTZY strap - AND only one!

I love these shoes, they're really cute and very comfortable. Really glad I got them, it's hard to find a heel that feels like a flat, I walk a lot!

I have a narrow foot so it is fine with me, yet the velcro top is short. If you have a wider foot that would pose a problem.

I love these shoes and get compliments every time I wear them. They are comfortable while elevating about 2.5 to 2.75 inches. I did add arch support cookies, as my feet have low arches. Also have these in black.

Love these sandals so much… I have gotten so many compliments. This is my second pair. My first pair was the tan color and I have lived in them all summer. I purchased the black to transition into fall.

I LOVE everything about these shoes and they looked great, but I realized they're too large to pack for an overseas vacation with limited packing space. I couldn't commit to wearing them on travel days (and they would take up space in a suitcase because of the soles), so I had to send them back.
