Detailed Review
When it comes to choosing a sneaker that balances style and practicality, the Blowfish Malibu Women's Fruit Sneaker does not disappoint. The first thing you will notice is its eye-catching Desert Sky Tie Dye pattern, which makes it stand out in a sea of mundane footwear options. This design allows you to express your personality while keeping up with current fashion trends.
Comfort is key in any sneaker, and these shoes deliver with their lace slip-on feature. This not only simplifies putting on and taking off but also contributes to a snug yet comfortable fit. However, be prepared for a brief break-in period where the sneakers may feel stiff initially, particularly if you’re accustomed to softer, more padded shoes.
The lack of robust arch support may deter some users looking for extensive cushioning, especially during longer walks or standing sessions. Nevertheless, the fabric construction provides breathability, ensuring your feet stay cool during sunny days. For maintenance, you can simply toss these into the washing machine to keep them fresh and clean, which is a significant advantage for busy lifestyles.
All in all, the Blowfish Malibu Women's Fruit Sneaker offers a delightful blend of style, comfort, and ease of care, making it a worthy addition to your shoe collection.

I just love my blowfish tennis shoes! So youthful in style & color.and their true ti size. Not as hard to put on as some other no lace sneakers. Very well made and comfortable and for reference I’m a young at heart 65 year old retired nurse so believe me when I tell you I know comfort when it comes to shoes! I’ve said “so long” Sketchers Hello Blowfish 🤣( I’m sorry but that just sounds so funny) Sketchers have price themselves out of my budget and their styles have gotten fugly the last few years. I’ve owned. Kie fish in the past. Past? I still have them it’s been like 1-15 years! Whoa!
So cute! Beautiful shoes. So soft and fits great. Love blowfish shoes. Fit great, love the colors.
Cute & Stylish. The first day they felt really stiff but once they get broken in - they're comfortable.
These are super cute shoes! The zipper on the side makes noise but I don’t really care about that. Refer to the pictures for comparison between size 9 & 10. The insides are soft, almost like a smaller terry cloth kind of fabric.•These shoes are super narrow. I have incredibly straight feet. (The pads of my feet aren’t wider than the middle of my foot.) These shoes are just tight enough to need a bit of stretching out to be the most comfortable.•The soles aren’t comfortable at all. Even with removing the insoles (which was super easy to do!) and replacing them with runner’s inserts, they aren’t ones I would want to be in for long periods. They’re super cute though so it’s not a deal breaker enough to return.•I first bought a pair of 9’s and had to return because they were insanely tight. Seriously insanely tight! I usually wear a women’s size 9. I got the 10’s and they fit much better. Anyone with wide feet won’t be able to wear these without feeling squeezed into them.•The tongue is kept in with 2 pieces of elastic, one on each side. It’s not tight at all...at least it’s looser than the rest of the shoe. ;)•The size 10 is definitely longer and a tad wider than the 9.•Even though it looks, in the picture, like my feet are shorter than the shoes, the way they’re made, my feet just barely fit inside. I couldn’t add the insert on top of their insole and have the shoe still fit, for example. The ones I buy at t@rget are a lot like these and I’m able to fit an insert inside without removing theirs.•The back of the heel is a little stiff. I would have loved if they were the softer kind that sort of folds down on itself, or whatever. But these aren’t the kind that will dig into your heel, causing huge callouses. They bend pretty easy overall.
Best casual shoes. I’ve been buying the same brand for 5 years. Very comfortable and the size is 100% accurate. They look great with shorts, sun dresses, linen pants and jeans. I usually by 3 or 4 different colors every other summer.
I am a teacher and work 10 hour days or longer. Thease shoes are great. They look cute, comfy and durable. I continue to buy this band of shoes every chance I can. I've had pairs last longer then a year with out a problem.
These shoes are very comfortable. Color is great!
Well. The first pair I ordered was entirely too large so i requested a replacement. The replacement was sent immediately and that was amazing. I realized upon opening the box though that ONE of the replacement shoes has been worn and fits more loosely. This is a really big bummer and if it wasn't for how much trouble I am having getting the first pair to a UPS store and the fact I need them for this weekend then I would have to return them as well. I'm hoping a heel spacer will help the fit on that one and I'll deal with the dirt I guess. Just disappointing. But overall the shoes are adorable and good quality.
