I originally ordered an 8 1/2 which is what i normally wear. They were tight and i was concerned if i went up in size if they would work. Oh my gosh the 9's are soo cute. THey are super comfortable and give me some height to this 4'11" frame. Love them and so excited to try them on vacation.
I love these for going out! Perfect height and some of the most comfortable shoes ever! Absolutely love them!!
These are fun shoes for a good price. I won't be wearing them in five years bc that sole is a bit trendy, but they sure are fun for now! I love the extra height with absolutely no discomfort. Very comfy shoes. I have small feet w/ very little meat on them. These worked out fine for me and didn't fall off my feet. I really would love it if this came in a black. The only black one I saw had lime green on the sole. I'm so glad that Sorel sells the size 5 shoes. There are plenty of us who wear size 5 and 5 1/2 but few companies carry small sizes.
True to size and very light.
Walked all over Amsterdam with almost no break in time before I had to use them. I have a significant bunion on one of my feet but the way this shoe is constructed gave me plenty of room without having to size up at all. The first day I had a little rubbing, but was able to use a bandaid to cushion the area and later was able to wear the shoe with no issues or bandage at all. Cute, sporty and gives me some height without having to sacrifice comfort at all. Definitely looks a bit “big” but did not feel heavy on my foot. Easy to slip out of on the plane. Expensive, but for me, worth it. Would not mind getting another color in the same style.
These shoes are so cute and comfortable…. a must have in all colors. I only gave 3 stars as the shoes have scuffs on the heel and a small spot on the suede. I am not sure if these were a return that was not checked upon receipt but that is the only downfall and disappointment. When you don’t purchase from Manufacturer sometimes don’t know what you will get.
Fun shows that get you walking around in style!
So comfortableEasy to put on and offLook greatFair priceCan walk for hours in this shoe
