The shoes are super cute. They are about as uncomfortable as they get. They not only squeeze your foot but they rub your heels. I've tried them with socks, without socks and a bigger size.

These shoes are cute and comfortable. Ordered my normal size, had to send back. Ordered up 1/2 size.

Light, comfortable and stylish shoe. Arch support is okay, but I will have to use my own insoles to help with my plantar fasciitis.

These shoes are so cute and "modern"! Love the style and they are comfortable too! I usually wear a size 9 in a closed toe shoe but needed a 9 1/2 in Sorels. Love the wavy sole and the band over the instep is really cute. Easy to put on with the tab in back. Great shoes!

I love these shoes. I have a black pair from a few seasons ago and am glad that the high quality is still just the same. They are really great for travel if you have to take your shoes off at security and are comfy and stylish no matter where you are.

Love these shoes. Go great with jeans and elevate the legging. Very stylish and comfortable. The shark teeth soles are true to the Sorel brand. Very cool!

I've had these shoes for a few months. Absolutely fell in love when I got them. After a few months wear, it was time to wash them. Nothing harsh. Just some plain soap and water. Needless to say, incredibly disappointing that after getting them spotless as they began to dry, Orange spots began to appear. I thought something was wrong the stuff I used so I washed them again but more carefully. The spots were removed but then reappeared as the water began to sit as they dried. It was then I realized it was the pleather/brown outer lining that was bleeding into the white part! At a loss on how to clean them without this happening. So unless you never plan on cleaning your shoes, I do not recommend!

These shoes are comfortable and very stylish however, they do slip a little when walking and don’t have the same support that Vionics offer. I think they are good for two or three hour wear, but would not wear them for a full day of walking.

This is my fourth pair of Kinetic Impact style sneaker....I replace them every time my old pair wears out. In other words, I love them. They're super comfortable and stylish to boot.
That being said, I really don't like the new design where a strip of fabric has been added (starting from the toe and going up the "vamp"). To me, it clutters the design and detracts from focal point of the shoe, the wide stretchy band that goes across the mid foot.
I usually wear a 9, but always buy an 8 in this style, knowing the toe box will stretch out a bit. I don't know if this strip down the middle was an attempt to address the stretching issue, but I really prefer the design w/out the strip of fabric.
The shoe definitely fits tighter now, and is not stretching.
Probably won't replace this pair.... shoe still looks great from the side view. Unfortunately, the wearer usually sees it from above. .

I purchased these shoes a few months prior to actually wearing them. I bought them to wear on an International trip based on reviews I read. All I can say is thank you Sorel for coming up with an amazing shoe that was both stylish and comfortable. I wore them all around Italy. No less than 3 hours of straight up walking a day and not once were my feet uncomfortable. I had several compliments on their appearance and they went with every outfit I packed for my trip.
I highly recommend these shoes.

This is the second pair that I've purchased and I love them. So comfortable and stylish. Im glad they added the reinforcement on the top as the toe wore out on my first pair after much use. My feet are a little narrow and these fit great.
Will buy more in other colors!

Looks great - feels even better! Super comfy right out of the box - no break-in required. I wear a lot of black, so these work well for me. Just enough to make a ho-hum outfit hip. Highly recommended!

Great shoes... had trouble with deciding on the correct size though. Started with my usual 7 1/2 and they seemed too tight. Ordered the size 8 and those were definitely too large with my heel picking up. Decided on keeping the 7 1/2 and will wear them with thin running socks... then they are perfect.

This is the second pair I ordered and got delivered. The first I returned because there was a massive yellow stain down the side of one of the shoes. The replacement pair I got has some damage to the band over the top of the foot but I’m sick and tired of returns because I have to drive 30 min to the closest UPS. The quality control seems to be severely lacking. Disappointing from a brand like Sorel. That being said, the shoes are very stylish (aside from the obvious damage to the band) and they are very comfortable. True to size. Sorel and Zappos - do better on the quality you send. Your lack of QA requires the buyer to do much more than they should have to.

I needed a half size larger than my older, similar style sorels. Although I love the look of this shoe, sadly it is no where near the comfort & quality of my older pair. I returned.

I read other reviews and ordered the next size up - the larger size fit perfectly.
These are stylish, comfortable and perfect all around.
I have a high arch and these are supportive, but don’t have an overly high arch. They are really comfortable - I hope they come out with more colors. I get compliments on them because the sole is so unique.
