Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic Sneak

These shoes were an instant purchase for me. I am old. When you get to be 70 people get foot ailments. You get orthotics. They have to fit in your shoe. You get Velcro closures so you don’t have to bend down too long cuz it squishes your gut and you can’t breathe. I broke a leg and have to have lifts added to my shoe. I look at all the old people with their white shoes and Velcro closures and say “not me”. These shoes rock! I’m wearing them to Italy next week with my grandkids.

Love the way it looks! I'm a very young 41 year old and work in a creative field and was a goth teenager. It took so long to find a sneaker cool-looking enough to wear to work. Fit on the other hand is not great for me. I have high arches and these have no support for me so I'll swap out the insoles with ones that do or wear my prescription orthotics. I have wide feet but not crazy-wide and these are very tight in the toe box and I hope they stretch. I'm a perfect 8.5 and these fit, any bigger and my feet would slide around. They are harder to put on than they look. I'm used to wearing trail running shoes with elastic laces and these take longer to put on and you really have to grip the back heel loop (which should be larger). All this said, they look so cool I will deal with the downsides. I should add that these are NOT my walking or hiking shoes. I wear really functional Brooks and Hokas for that. Plus I wouldn't want these getting dirty.

Love the look but they are terrible as far as comfort. I wore them bartending, clocked in at 5 pm and by 8pm my feet were killing me. It’s now 12:42 and I wanna throw them in the trash. I literally love the look of them and will wear them for casual events or shopping- but never to work on concrete for 9.5 hours.

Probably the best sneaker to ever touch my feet. I usually have to break in my new footwear but these were extremely different but in the best way. I am a nurse and a baker/caterer so I’m on my feet a lot which contributes to my swollen feet and ankles. This sneaker is definitely the cure.

NEVER STOP MAKING THESE PLEASE!!!! Sorry to shout, but t I live in them! It is near impossible to find shoes like these. They look good and they are a vacation for my feet. Keep making the same style in every color combo known to man I will buy them all! Thank you Sorel!! I love you!

So comfortable!! I wear 9.5 and ordered 9.5... they fit perfectly!! My only wish is that the finger loop was a little bigger to help pull them on.

They fit great. The reason why some were more difficult to slip on is because there was not an elastic band for the black ones. I’m a hairstylist and I stand all day. I’m going to return the black one unfortunately. The nudes are nice for everyday. I’m a true size 7. My feet are normal, not wide so I hope in time they’ll stretch a little and can adjust Velcro for tightness.

I am a 71 year old female and needed good, comfortable shoes for a trip to the Grand Canyon. I took a chance and bought these shoes one week prior to the trip. No time was needed to "break in" this shoe. Great Shoe! I now live in these sneakers and truely believe the shoe construction has resolved some real foot problems I have experienced with other sneakers.

I will start with the positives... these shoes are cool looking, AND super comfortable. I took them to Paris and walked 60 miles in them straight out of the box, and my feet never complained. now for the downsides, they are slippery when the sidewalk/street/cobblestones are wet, and i mean SLIPPERY! in fact i would caution you, if you live in a place with a lot of rain. These were the only shoes i had on my trip so i had to change my gate (and hold onto my friend at times), when walking on wet surfaces. it was bad. AND, after two weeks of wear the rubber pulled away from the toe on one shoe and became paleish pink in color *i am sure this was a manufacturing problem on this pair--but i thought i should mention it in case it happens to others. i just felt that shouldn't happen in two weeks... that's a six month problem. anyway, really sad that these aren't an everyday every weather type of shoe, because they are sassy and fresh looking.

I bought the camel/sea salt color & sized down 1/2 from an 11 (boot size) to a 10 1/2 & it fits perfect with toe box room, width & comfort factor. I cannot say enough good things about this particular kinetic sneaker. I have it in black & have enjoyed the looks, quality & comfort of this type of shoe & love the velcro. Sometimes, it's just nice not to have to struggle with laces. I'm glad to see Sorel coming out with new colors in this particular shoe. Highly recommended. Thank you to Sorel for making this shoe & thank you to Zappos for all the wonderful brands you carry on here & great customer service.

These are so adorable. I get compliments on them every time I wear them. But beyond the style factor, they were comfortable right out of the box. Love sorels and love Zappos!

I am usually an 8.5 in sneakers but had to size down to an 8 with these. They are SO SO stylish and the iconic shoe that Athleta shoes on almost all their models. Super happy with these.

I love these sneakers! They're different from the typical athletic shoe and look more stylish and trendy. I usually wear a size 7 in sandals and 7 1/2 or even an 8 in sneakers if they run small, but was fine with a 7 in these. I thought they ran slightly larger than a typical sneaker but not too much. They also run slightly narrow...my foot is a little wide so I have to keep the straps on the loose side but I'm fine if I do so. Overall great shoe and glad I purchased.

I really love these shoes! I have wide feet so I was initially worried that they would be difficult to put on. They are a little difficult but roomy inside. They are so comfortable and I’m sure will only continue to be. They feel stable and supportive. They are lightweight. They are fashionable as well. I want them in every color.

Love these! Very stylish and comfortable. They add a little bit of height for a sneaker, and they look great with jeans or workout clothes. I walk miles every day, and my feet never hurt.

The shoe does run big, I'd say a half size. I returned the 7.5 for a 7, which is a little tight but with thin socks will work. They are super stylish -- I received many compliments the first time I wore them, even from strangers at the airport! Ended up buying them in two colors because I loved them so much.

Love this shoe. Very stylish for a sneaker style. I have plantar Fascitis in both feet and these were comfortable all day long. Normally wear a 7.5 and purchased an 8. They are a little loose barefoot but the extra size will accommodate socks and my inserts. GREAT SHOE.

5 stars for style, 3 for comfort. I have very wide toes and the toe box does squeeze a bit. The corrugated sole is awesome, but the upper is rather thin and stretchy, not sure how long it will last. I'm keeping them because they're so damn cute, but don't think these will be my go-to walking shoes, they are just not sturdy enough.

I normally don't write reviews, but these shoes are so comfortable I had to let everyone know how wonderful they are. I was able to wear them all day straight out of the box. That never happens for me. I have nueromas on both feet and it is very rare to find a pair of shoes that don't cause pain. I am about to buy another pair. I highly recommend.

Sorel is amazing. Only ever wore their boots but now I’m hooked completely. They are so comfortable I stand a lot for work and these shoes do the job!

Love, love, love. Such great style. Very comfy and cushy.... and get a lot of compliments!
