Super comfortable, sturdy and so cute!
Correct size. But the strap is not adjustable as the Velcro is only in a small space
I love Jambu's water shoes for their comfortable insoles and breathability. These ones are no exception, but the velcro straps are a bit long on me and nearly drag on the ground when fastened. Also the heel is a bit higher than some of my other jambu shoes, so they chafe a bit and I can't wear them as long as my other pairs. I still like them though.
In spite of their appearance, these shoes do poorly in wet environments. I’ve been wearing mine on the pool deck for about a week and can say that they take forever to dry if they get splashed - far longer than my canvas tennis shoes and much squelchier. The lining has also already bunched and torn. Really can’t recommend them though they are cute and comfortable when dry.
I have been trying to find some barefoot shoes that fit and are comfortable. With my narrow feet this has been a long list of misses. Got this pair yesterday and have worn them two days in a row. No need to send these back -- I'm keeping these puppies! When I first put them on I thought they might be too wide on my narrow feet. But then I realized I could adjust the two straps that cross over the tops of my feet. Adjustment made and the fit is perfect. I probably won't be wearing these as water shoes (although they are advertised as such). I am wearing them with socks. I got the pink and beige pair and will get the charcoal pair later. For size reference I usually wear a 5 1/2 and these are a 6. With socks they are a perfect fit. I was also impressed that they appear to be well made.
Cute but stiff in fit and the bottoms had no grip, I slid around. Returned them
Not very pleased with this Jambu shoe. I've owned three other pairs of these shoes but this style with the crossover straps are so long that they don't stay attached; they almost drag on the floor. They are far too long and several times I've been walking along and the shoes come undone. Very disappointed in this purchase. Won't be ordering these anymore. The previous style where the strap came through a loop and folded over was much better. Now I'm afraid to wear the shoes and I never know when they will come undone and I'm afraid that I might trip and fall.
Like others have said the straps are too long...so I cut them off and wear these as a slip on shoe.Problem solved.
