Customer Reviews SOREL Kinetic™ Impact Strap

These were super cute and I wanted them for so long…but they were a huge disappointment. Other reviews said they ran big. I disagree. I wear a 9.5-10 in everything, so I opted for the 9.5, and they were too short and too narrow. Like other reviewers mentioned, it felt like my toe was going to poke through the mesh on top/at the front. They also felt like they had very little arch support. The most frustrating bit was how low cut the shoes are. On the sides around the ankle bones the shoes don’t come up high enough to really stay on your feet. They fit sort of like those ‘no show’ little footies. I wanted to love them, but they’re going back. I am going to look at the APL brand (similar style), but Zappos doesn’t have them in black.

Super cute, super comfy and stylish. Very little support in toe box bc it's all mesh and loved this shoe until, my big toe literally popped out of the top of the mesh. Sadly, must return.

I love Sorel sneakers. They are fun designs shoes, different from many other walking shoes. I was so disappointed that the day I received them and wanted to purchase another pair at your sale price, they were priced considerably higher and that was two days after my original order.

I LOVE the look and fit of this shoe! I always get compliments and it helps me feel trendy, rather than dumpy while wearing my pandemic uniform of leggings and tunics. They are true to size and comfortable to walk in for a long time. However, they are ridiculous to get on. The loop on the back isn't big enough to fit even my pinky in to pull them on my heel so I have to get a pencil to stick through the loop and pull on, hoping the pencil doesn't snap in half. Also, I've had this shoe for about a year now and the white bottom is just starting to come unglued and isn't that white anymore, despite my wiping it off. Also, part of the black along the bottom is scuffed off. For the price, I'm disappointed in the flaws, but I still wear them almost every day and probably will eventually buy another pair because the comfort and style suit me!

I ordered a half size up due to bunion issues, but this still worked and is my favorite show. Going back for more! Holds up to walking distances and overall comfort is amazing.

Oh wow, what a fun, unique and super cute sneaker! I saw these in store at a large shoe retailer and was intrigued - but Zappos had them for $30 less! They had basically zero break-in time, I wore them all day today (no socks) and they're very comfy. Love the sorta acid tan/green color! I hover between a 9 and 9.5 in shoes. The 9.5 felt distinctly too loose, even with cushy Balega sport socks. The 9 was perfect, although I'll probably only wear these with a very light sock. With all the sensible things like comfort and size taken care of, you can't help but notice that these are kind of wild - in the best way, I think - in the design department. Definitely a shoe I'll wear when hitting the galleries in New York. But me being me, they're totally an everyday shoe too. Very pleased!

Love the shoes and they run 1/2 size large in my opinion.

Bought a size smaller than I generally buy based on reviews. They fit perfectly and are just so cool.

I normally order size 8 in Sorel boots. I’m glad I read the reviews on these! I ordered a size 7 and it fits great. ( if I wasn’t going to wear socks with these, I probably could have ordered a 6.5). I wear a 7 or 7.5 in Nike, a 7.5 in Puma, a 7 in Adidas, 7.5 in North Face, and a 7.5 in Under Armour. I have had bunion surgery on 1 foot and still have a bunion on the other and these do not feel restricting or too tight even though they look long and narrow. They have the most comfortable leather insole ever! Easy to get on and off. I typically do not like an all black sneaker and I would have preferred a white outsole (the foam part of the shoe that’s right about the sole on the outside).
