Everything I thought they’d be!
After reading the reviews, I was a bit skeptical. When ordering I have a very high arch and was worried that the top straps would be too tight across my feet. I almost ordered half size larger, but read that they were true to size, so I stuck with my normal size, a size 7. they fit perfectly! they are incredibly comfortable and I do not find the strap tight, even given my high instep.I actually think the ankle strap could be a little tighter because they have a little lift on the heel park when I walk. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. as you can see, they are quite stylish!

Comfy and so cute!
I was so scared to buy these based on mixed reviews! They sat in my cart for months! But, I’m so glad I pulled the trigger! Purchased in the color green and my regular size, 7.5 and they fit so well and they are soooo comfortable. They were packaged well and look better in person! The toe box strap is leather and a lot roomier than I thought and lies perfectly over all toes! The stretchy straps are tight enough to keep your foot locked in but give enough flex to move your foot. I imagine they will lose elasticity over time and be more comfortable. I’m glad I stayed with my regular size. They definitely would have too much room had I gone larger! I love wedges and these did not disappoint!

Size/Fit
These wedges are so cute!! Although not comfortable for a long period of time. They fit perfect, however the crossing bands are elastic and are tight. After a while my feet start to become uncomfortable due to the pressure on my feet.I do not have large feet, they are a true size 9.

Blister forming, Straps too tight, NO customer support
I am a first and last time buyer of Sorel sandals. I have own them since end of July and have been able to wear them only 3-4 times for about an hour, walking actively for only 15 mins before the blisters form.These sandals do form painful blisters at the same spots on my both feet even after I let the blisters heel for 3-5 days. The straps become a problem after wearing the sandals for about an hour - they restrict blood flow and cause painful feet swelling. I missed the 30 day return window and called SOREL directly. The warranty they have does not cover blister forming for possible repair. As per the rep, this kind of claim gets rejected all the time.So eat the cost and spread the word.I will not buy sandals that cost as much as SOREL and have NO customer service or I’ll be returning items sooner as a problem appears I suppose. PS: the pic doesn’t look as bad as it feels, it’s taken a few days after the blisters formed. Don’t have a photo of my swollen feet but I will when I put these shoes on next time.Poor quality; No arch support; No customer support from SOREL. Value for money : buy another brand; Poor fit. Cool look and color if wearable.

Love these but are tight
Comfort and StyleI recently purchased the Sorel Women’s Joanie III Sport Strap Sandal, and I must say, they are incredibly stylish! The design is modern and versatile, making them perfect for both casual outings and more dressed-up occasions. The color options are also appealing, allowing for easy pairing with various outfits.Fit IssuesHowever, I did encounter a significant issue with the fit. While the sandals look great, they felt tight across the top of my foot. Despite wearing them several times in hopes that they would loosen up, they remained uncomfortable in that area. This has been disappointing because I was really looking forward to enjoying these sandals without discomfort.Overall ImpressionIn summary, while the Sorel Women’s Joanie III Sport Strap Sandals are aesthetically pleasing and well-made, the tightness across the top of the foot has made them less enjoyable for me. If you have a wider foot or are sensitive to tight-fitting footwear, you might want to consider this before purchasing.

Amazing shoes
I really like them. Look stylish on my feet. Seems to be comfortable, although they are a bit heavy. They won't fit if your feet are wide!

Love the style, but shoe design execution needs work!
The seller did a terrific job, the shoes were perfectly packaged and brand new; they also arrived pretty quickly. I tried them on and the footbed felt amazing! Great height with no arch stress. Very easy to walk around in.I wish the front strap was thinner, stretchy, and set a bit further back than right across my toes. I felt it would cut or rub with wear. As others mentioned, the stretchy criss-cross straps are tight. In just the five minutes I kept the shoes on, I could tell they were cutting off my circulation a bit. Not the best shoes for traveling on an airplane!Younger feet than mine might be able to tolerate that pressure in the name of fashion, but you reach an age where comfort and circulation are important!
