Customer Reviews SOREL ONA™ AVE Low Sneaker

Overall I enjoy these shoes. They are in fact waterproof, and that feature has been very valuable walking around damp climates in the fall. I also love the look of the shoes! I have two issues, however. First, the edge around the toe piece is sueded and IMPOSSIBLE to clean. The rest of the shoe easily wipes clean after an encounter with a puddle, but wiping the sueded detail just makes it worse. This, obviously, is not a dysfunctional design flaw, just an annoyance. Secondly, the fit. As I said, overall I am happy with the shoes, but they may not fit everyone well. I swapped the insoles for my pink superfeet, had to walk roughly 15 miles in them before they felt truly broken in, sustained a small but otherwise inconsequential blister in the process, and still I cannot tie them in such a way that my right heel doesn't lift and slide up the back of the shoe with each step (tying them tighter puts too much pressure on the top of my foot and causes other problems). This issue is mitigated by wearing crew socks to prevent blistering I wasn't brave enough to try wearing no-show socks, so I don't know if that would have occurred. With all that effort, I now quite enjoy wearing these shoes and have found them to be quite supportive and minimized leg fatigue for long days walking around Amsterdam or standing at my store all day. But, I think if I had tried them on in person instead of ordering online, I would have skipped over these and found a pair of shoes that didn't require so much effort to fit right.

I wore these sneakers all over Paris. Amazing. No foot pain at all and Im recovering from plantar fasciitis. I normally wear after market in-soles. No need! Highest recommendation. Fashionable, walkable. I did treat them before wearing them to try to keep them clean.

Weird fit. Bought 8s and they were way too big, returned and got 7.5s and they were way too small. having to pay for returns and exchanges is super annoying also.

I bought these shoes a few weeks ago and absolutely love them! Theyre so versatile and go perfectly with every outfitIve been wearing them nonstop. My only disappointment is that just two weeks after I got them, they went on sale for $45 less than what I paid. Still, they're fantastic shoes!

I wore these shoes everyday on a 4 day trip to Paris. I walked miles and my feet were comfy all day! Highly recommend!

Extremely comfortable and styles well for work or casual. Somewhat narrow- I have a narrow foot and found them to fit just right. I was also able to remove the insole and place my arch support in shoe

I officially have all 3 colors of these shoes and absolutely love them. The are so comfortable and look great with so much!

I thought these fit okay and wore them for a day, but they are so stiff that they feel like wooden boxes after a while, and the tongue cones up so far on my ankles that I feel like Im being hobbled in them. Ugh!

Very stylish and comfortable. The fit is perfect, and the neutral colors go well with different outfits.

Cute but clunky. Like the look, but the thick soles makes sneakers heavy, and not comfy; no spring in my step

I love these shoes and bought them in every color and now am planing to give as gifts to my loved ones who live in wet and cold climates. It's so hard to find a good sneaker that is actually waterproof, and the extra little boost from the platform bottom is amazing - the extra height is perfect for walking through some of the more intense puddles we have in the fall and winter, and it looks so chic with all my outfits. I am so obsessed with these sneakers!! Note: I have very flat feet and also go for wide shoes whenever possible, but these just came in traditional offerings. I am pleased to report three pairs and many miles of walking later, I have had zero issue with the traditional width in my size and also no issue with pain in my non-existent foot arches. I wear size 9, ordered size 9, and am very comfortable!

Comfortable however if you have mild winters I don't recommend your feet get hot. Took these for a cold weather trip and they were great. Another thing to consider these are heavy.

I love the shoe so much that I bought it in three color ways. Theyre just tall enough to wear with my longer pants.

I love these shoes so much. I bought three different color ways.. They are comfortable and cute and they elevate me just enough to wear my longer pants without having to go to a wedge.

These are comfortable and well made. I love that they are water resistant

I love the look of these shoes and the fit is good for someone with a wide front foot. The only thing I didnt like was the length and the stiffness of the tongue under the laces. It digs into the area where my ankle and foot meet. Im working on trying to soften it up. These are ok for walking, but for me, because they are platform, which I wanted, they dont bend at the toe, so all day walking is not totally comfy, but not bad. I usually wear and 8 1/2, but many cute sneakers are too tight in the width after long wear these are great in that department.

comfy and classic. Waterproof is nice, but still breathable

I am in love with these shoes. I ordered white and silver and have been wearing the silver non stop. They are a great neutral alternative. Super comfy right out of the box. I ordered up half a size and the fit is perfect.

Perfect tennis shoe. Comfy right out of the box. I have been wearing them non stop. I did size up a half size because my normal size seemed slightly short.

Absolutely LOVE these sneakers! They are comfortable & stylish.

Love these shoes and they look great on. I think the tongue is a bit stiff and can be a bit uncomfortable.

Straight out of the box I fell in love with these! Theyre incredibly comfortable, true to size and the silver is so fun. I didnt find them stiff at all. There was slight rubbing on the back of one heel, but a blister patch helped until I broke them in a bit more.

The sizes run differently than any other Sorel's I have. I own 17 pairs. Needed a 1/2 size bigger - so had to pay to return and switch sizes. The leather is a little stiff, so that was a disappointment and now one shoe squeaks when I step. Not thrilled with these shoes.

Super cute and stylish! No slip and waterproof - perfect for all my travels

I purchased these shoes specifically for a trip to London, and they did not disappoint. They were comfortable-- no blisters even on the first day-- and my feet remained dry even after walking through puddles. They only downfall is that they are a bit heavy, so rather than carrying them in my luggage, I just wore them on the plane. Worth it!
