Customer Reviews Jambu Blossom Encore

Super cute shoe, but the Black Earth color is not black, its brown. Looked black to me in the pictures. So, unfortunately the shoe is going back. But, its also just not as comfortable as the original Blossom shoe. I wish they'd bring back the original design. So thankful for Zappos quick shipping and easy returns!

Really cute style and I love this brand--have other pairs in a different style. This pair was very uncomfortable due to top straps rubbing my foot where they were attached to the shoe.

I was looking for a cute summer sandal with decent arch support and width for my bunion. These did not quite make it. The flowers looked darling in the photos, but in person they just didn't look as good on my feet. The shoes were just wide enough for my bunion, but the leather was not as soft as I was hoping for and the break in process would have been a bit painful. Also the shoes made a very loud sticking/squeaking noise as I walked through my kitchen. Sending these ones back. The length is true to size.

I simply ordered WIDE as I have a wide foot, and a half size bigger. I take size 9, and ordered 9.5. I absolutely LOVE these shoes. they are so comfy, with the memory foam. They also are cool during hot summer days, and easy to slide on and off. So grateful Zappos carries them in the wide! Very hard to find. Jambu shoes have replaced my Sanita Clogs, which I wore for years. The metatarsal issues, and shin issues have resolved. Thank you Zappos for carrying these gems!

It's a cute design, comfortable sole but not comfortable top! Flower designs on top are sewn to the leather and when you wear the shoes, you can feel the stitches rubbing to the skin. It's also too wide that I don't even need to open the straps to take them off. They're going back.

This cute shoe makes too much noise when you walk. The sound is coming from the inside of the shoe. Maybe the foam lining is sticking and releasing or something. It's very strange. Maybe it would wear off, but I'm returning.

As soon as I tightened the strap (velcro), i couldn't get them to feel secure enough on my foot. And even tho they were medium width, they still felt a little boxy. If you have a chubby foot, these would be fantastic. They're a really cute shoe and felt very cushiony inside.

Really wanted to love these. I have hard to fit feet-- the front of my foot is wide and my heel is really narrow. I ordered an 8B. With these, the footbed was really comfy, nothing rubbed on the tops or sides of my toes... but the straps are too loose. I couldn't tighten them enough to keep the shoes on my feet. I walked right out of 'em. So sad to return!

Nice navy color and criss cross pattern. Cushy footbed. Arch support really isn't there. I have always fit in Jambu shoes, but these were to short lengthwise, at least by a half size. Since a size down for me is a whole size, they would be too big and I wasn't sure if the footbed could stand up to water and dirt and stay clean anyway. So, they went back.

I think these shoes are really cute. The color is a nice soft gray and the flower cut-outs are feminine without being frilly. Also, I spend a lot of my time in flip-flops, and these are nice alternative when I want a little more coverage. They work with shorts and capris (hard to find a comfy shoe to wear with capris that aren't clunky). All that said, they have to go back. Out of the box, they feel fine, but not awesome (my foot is borderline regular or wide). Additionally, the cute little straps across the top, cut into my instep. This doesn't really hurt, but looks unattractive--like a loaf of bread rising from its pan look. :P

Order a whole size up if you wear a Medium width & you won't be disappointed. Excellent support.

Must reorder one full size larger. Good support

I wanted to love these shoes... they are adorable in red but somehow look like clown shoes on me and not quite as comfy as I d hoped. Definitely a pair I regret keeping.

cute,nice red color but the leather was so stiff it hurt.

Very comfortable shoes. Tried them on - felt perfect! BUT after a day of wear they stretched to the point of falling off my feet. I bought a size 7 (which I normally wear in any brand). Since I could not return them after wearing, I had to give them away to someone with a size 7.5. She said they felt just right with a thick sock. So, they definitely run 1/2 size - 1 size too big after one wear. Will have to buy a 6.5 now. Although, I feel that for this price, the fit should be more predictable. Or at least more reliable.

This is a super cute shoe, and the footbed is really comfortable, but the back of the heel was uncomfortably high, and the stiff leather made me question whether they would ever break in enough to be an everyday shoe like I had intended. I would probably like this a whole lot better if it were soft leather or fabric. I'm really glad I didn't order a size up as advised. I normally wear either a 9.5 or a 10, based on the cut of the shoe. I ordered the 9.5 (because of the larger toebox on this shoe), and it felt big on me.

I bought these shoes to wear them during our trip to Disney (meaning there would be a lot of walking in hot weather). The shoes are comfortable for a couple of hours but after the first day I couldn't wear them again. They look very pretty but it doesn't have too much support, the leather is really hard and you can def feel some of the stitches. I will still wear them for a quick run to pick up the kids or so, but they totally defeated their purpose for long walking days.

I really wanted to like this shoe, as it is so cute. But they just had a really weird fit--kind of gapped all over--and I tried both 7 1/2 and 8. (I usually wear an 8, but read reviews that they run long) I could not risk any issues with my feet, so sadly I had to return them.

I wish I had paid attention to the reviews that reported these run really large. They are cute and would be comfortable if they fit, so I tried heel inserts which were not adequate - even doubled up. Sadly, I had already worn them outside before I realized they are impossible to walk very far in. So, I can wear them around the house and that is it.

So, not what I was hoping for. I would sum these up as cute shoes to wear in your yoga attire while going to the juice cafe. I have a "relaxed" size 11M foot. Have not worn a dress shoes in YEARS so my foot has relaxed but I do find Keen on the wider side (and just big and dopey looking) so was looking forward to trying these (my first attempt with Jambu). They don't seem too big but my foot tends to slide forward. Only one strap can be tightened so when I tighten it to where I feel more secure only half the velcro is attached and the other non-adj. strap is a little loose. Otherwise my heel slips. Wish straps were more adjustable and more substantial. Arch support...I guess it's OK if you don't have high arches and/or supinate. My foot tends to roll out and I have a higher arch. There's not a removable insole nor an easy way to add support (a thin foam full insert is too much for the heel cup). I developed bursitis on both of my ankles actually from wearing only Keen hiking boots and Merrel slides one summer as a result of not having proper support (so now I should be wearing my special orthodic inserts at 45-ugh!). So, although I have issues, I do think these could be a bit improved. I wanted sandals with a closed toe to wear on garden tours, farmers market...you know, outdoors and actually walking without the need for a pedicure. These just are a bit too delicate for that. I do like the sole...it's smaller than those huge Keen ones but still has grip. Foot bed isn't bad, just would like it to be a bit more cushioned/thicker but it's of a material that can be wiped and kept clean (unlike Merrel's suede which can't be cleaned even with bleach). So, nice but would love if they could be improved!

These shoes are cute as all get out but not all that comfortable if you have bunions like me. The strap insertion points come at the wrong place. I'm trying moleskin and hoping that will work.

These cute shoes didn't work for me. I have narrow feet and there is just one strap that can be tightened. It wasn't enough to hold the shoes onto my feet properly. And the heel of my foot was way too narrow so the shoe rubbed up and down when i tried them on. Too bad, because they are very cute. Have to return them.

I love these shoes! I needed comfortable walking shoes that would look good with skirts, shorts or slacks while on vacation. They definitely run big and by the end of the week have stretched out considerably, wish I would have ordered half a size smaller. The Velcro fastener is a bit problematic, does not always stick and not able to tighten enough in trying to compensate for the stretching.

I really liked these shoes at first, but within two weeks of wearing them they stretched out and now feel a size too big. As a realist, my feet slip around in them and they give me blisters. I'm disappointed.

These shoes are very cute but I am sending them back because the toe box is not wide enough for my problem feet. I have RA, Morton's Neuroma and Plantar Fasciitis. These shoes do not provide the support I need. They would be good for people with no foot problems.
