These are not for feet with bunions: My bunions push my foot to the outside of the footbed, causing my little toes to get squished by the ridge of the footbed. These sandals would likely be fine, otherwise. Sizing is accurate.

I love these sandals for slipping in and out of so easily to run out for a minute (I go barefoot in the house), and they are super comfortable. They are a bit longer than most shoes I've gotten in this size, and they are plenty wide for a moderately wide foot. I have the velcro fully covered (one thing I don't like about velcro fastenings is that if they are too short and only a portion of it is covered as with many Teva's, they collect so much dirt and hair and get messy - not a problem for me at all with these.) The "beach cartago" color is actually a nice neutral light gray/brown, a little different from the way they look in the photo. I've been wearing them almost exclusively since I got them, my feet are happy. I wish they weren't so expensive, but I had a pair of Wolky sandals that I wore for 10 years that finally gave up the ghost, so I think they are probably a good investment.

I love these shoes, but they don't work with my large bunion. Too bad.

I had to return my size 38 and get a 37. My old, old Wolky sandals were 38 but the Nomad's much too big in a 38. My 37 fits like they should. I was so relieved to find this model because they are similar to my old ones which now can be retired - I always loved slipping into them, in all seasons.

I've had two style of Wolky sandals in the past and they were great. One sandal had an enclosed heel and worked well with orthotics; the other had two straps over the instep. This style with a third strap was uncomfortable and after walking caused pain in the instep area. Disappointed this didn't work for me. I wish Wokly would bring back their original styles. They are not out of date style-wise; just better made.

Sadly these did not work for me.
Loved the flexible sole, great arch support, and Velcro closures.
What did not work was the over abundance of straps. The center need to be omitted, and the front moved back about an inch... so it wouldn’t bite my toes.
I do not keep toe biting sandals...
I was grateful they were still an inside trial shoe, and have returned them.
Sad.

Nice shoes wolky does it again for me- easy on and off shoes. They are so comfortable you can wear them all day with out your feet getting tired and sore. There was no break in time either i wore them straight from the box. I wear a 5.5 and the 36 fit me perfectly the 37 would have been too long. Nice quality leather..I’m going to enjoy them for years.

This is my second order of this style, but I've had four other pairs of Wolky's. I continue to order because they last and look good for a long time. I have flat feet and I appreciate the comfort and support. I also like the fact that the width is easily adjustable.

Great slip on sandal that is also supportive, comfortable and kind of cute. I bought the red, not a true cherry red, but a deeper red, however, still a nice color, going to get another color I like them so much. They feel great on my terrible feet with bunions and arthritis. Taking them to Europe and feel they will be good for walking miles each day.

We don't wear shoes in the house so this is a great style for slipping in and out of. But, because of the three straps, the shoe also stays on your foot when walking or driving. The size chart though is totally off. I am a pretty consistent size 8, with an average width foot. Fortunately, I tried on both a 38 and a 39 in a local store so knew that a 38 was the better fit. According to Zappos, this would be a size 6.5-7. If you went by the size chart accompanying this shoe you would end up with a shoe that was far too large.

I have 3 pair of the Wolky Ka...which sadly seem to be gone. Most comfortable sandal I own. Absolutely no break in period, 0 blisters!
I needed a slip on style for my tile floors, and dog walking.
These look very geriatric.... 2 straps would look allot better.
I am hoping they are the perfect alternative to a Mephisto or Berkinstock.
I do not have a metatarsal arch... at all.
These have a less aggressive front arch than the competition, but totally support my Uber high center arch. Great heel cup and very lightweight.
I hope they get less slippery when they have been out-and-about.
Love the Velcro adjustable straps.
As far as sizing... just go by the EU number. For some reason this brand coverts incorrectly to US sizes.
Their house tour is still on.... but I have allot of faith in this brand.
Fingers crossed.

Great looking shoe and I'm sure I'd love it, but apparently I've ordered the wrong size. Zappo's makes it so easy to order by tracking my size, account information, etc., that I usually only need to push the "purchase" button. In this case, I should have reviewed the order better before I submitted it, as a size 43 was delivered and I wear a 41. Even worse, the 41 is reportedly out of stock. So sorry Zappo, I promise to do better and hope that a 41 becomes available soon.

Love them. Really nice leather, very comfortable footbed. A tad long, but i can live with it. I have a wide foot and these fit nicely. Going to buy the brown.

I was looking for an alternative to a Birkenstock Arizona and thought this might fit the bill nicely. It is really cute and provides nice support especially for those of us with foot issues. Unfortunately, my feet don't do well in shoes whose straps secure with velcro. My foot tends to be on the narrower side of medium and I'm unable to tighten the straps enough to make me feel secure in these sandals. It's important that my feet don't flop around in sandals. I guess I really have to stick with sandals whose straps secure with a buckle. Back to Birkenstock I go! Otherwise, recommend for those of you with true medium width feet.

Very handsome shoe, but I feared my little toe would rub, and while I do not have wide feet, I need a little extra room for the little piggy. I like the styling and they appear well made.

I have a pair of sandals by this company that I love. But, sadly, I do not like these. They were too short, and the straps were too short for my high arch.

I am enjoying these shoes in the gray leather with silver edges on the straps. Comfortable and supportive as I expect from Think. However, I feel that this brand is way too expensive for middle class buyers, IMO. Every time I order this make they have them priced higher. The company is pricing itself out of many people’s budgets.

I've worn many Wolky sandals over the years---I have bunions and arthritis in my feet, and I'm always relieved and grateful when I find a shoe that provides good support and can be adjusted to fit my wide feet. Unfortunately, I had to return these sandals because they were squishing my baby toes against the upper "lip" of the sandal, exactly as another reviewer stated. I don't know if my toes have become more crooked over the years, or if Wolky has changed their design, but these sandals just didn't work for me the way my old ones did.

Just too wide, even if I pulled them in as much as I could. But, Zappos is great to shop with.

These are made for wide feet. My feet are EE and there’s is plenty of room. But they run long. I probably need to go down 2 sizes. Zappos makes exchanges difficult now so I didn’t want to exchange them. The arch seems very high and I have flat feet so they probably would be too much for me anyway

These are huge, definitely order at least a half size down. In my case a full size smaller. I cannot comment on the arch support due to the shoe being so big
