Customer Reviews Nisolo Huarache Sandal

Love the look and styling. Felt narrow, but have stretched in width. They are still tearing my heels up after a few wears.

I wanted these sandals for the longest time, I ended up getting the open toe version when they had them. Everyone said they are a pain to break in but then so comfortable! I have had them for a few years now, and they still give me blisters and are awful to wear for long periods of time. I still do because they are so cute and go with a lot, but my feet hate me for it.

Still breaking them in, but the soles are flat and have no cushion or support. I expected more for shoes that are supposed to be such high quality. Not sure yet whether I would recommend these to others.

I loved these shoes when I first had them, but I could never fully break into them. Always got blisters behind my ankle. And they stretched out so they were not tight fitting, maybe my ankles are too wide who knows: ended up giving them away. Beautiful shoes though, wished they worked for me.

I love these shoes, and ordered a half size up as recommended but they are entirely too narrow. I am working on stretching them out with shoe stretchers in the hopes that they will fit better. I would have returned them, but they were final sale so I'm working with what I've got!

I ordered two pairs of these, the same size, one in brown, one in white. The brown pair are a bit tight, unfortunately, and Ill have to find a cobbler to get them stretched.

I wear a size 5.5 and ever since my first Nisolo purchase in 2015 I have been wishing the brand would make my size. I first bought the huaraches in a size 6 (the same size as my smoking shoes, which have always felt slightly too small) and they were so large that I couldn't even keep them on my feet. I exchanged them for a size 5, which are tight enough for me to have noticeable discomfort across my toebox. I will try to wear them in using the tips on the site but how I wish these beautiful shoes came in my size!

worn these about four times but still havent broken them in. they pinch and make my feet swell up

These shoes stretch alot. They will stretch at least a half size and have no arch support. Will accomodate an orthotic. I should have bought the next size down.

These shoes look very nice. They are not nearly as comfortable as I was hoping. Perhaps with wear they will become more comfortable but I cannot say they fee good out of the box.

I have been following the fit and break in guidelines and I have not had an easy time with these shoes. Nursing some blisters from a short walk, probably my 10th time wearing them. The leather is slowly softening, but the shoes still feel snug. They are so beautiful and well made, but I feel like I am doing something wrong. I even had a chat with a rep over the website and she said I had the right size. So this is a review to say, I guess it can take a while to break them in!

Had to return the 11- too big and you didnt have it in a size 10.

Sole could be more cushioned, but overall well made, cute shoe that softens after breaking in. Very happy with them.

I have bought these twice! Unfortunately because they wear out rather than a desire to have multiple identical sandals ;) I'm typically a 9/9.5 with wide feet and a high arch so I often have trouble finding shoes that fit well. The 9.5 in these fits very snug initially but after a few weeks (and a few toe/heel blisters...) they do wear in to become very comfortable. However, I've found that after about a year of consistent use a few side straps will snap off and they become too loose to stay on the foot well. I really like the style of these, just wish they would be more durable for me.

The shoes are gorgeous but I cannot stand the pain of breaking them in. Even with two pair of socks.

These are very well made, but not enough cushioning for me.

I have bought these before and they ran super small, I stretched them in and wore them anyway. Then they changed the sizing, so I bought the same size because they'd be a little larger (according to Nisolo and reviews I read). They are enormous. I'm a 7.5 in another sandal from them, bought these in a 7 and may have needed a 6 in this sizing. And apparently they're changing the sizing again? Gah! What a pain! Their size chart is of no help, it doesn't jive with reality in my opinion. Also of note the color for the natural is much darker than pictured which is fine but you'd like to think these were pictured and described well and they are neither. That said I loved my old ones so much I'm going to sell these new ones on Poshmark and buy another pair in a smaller size, just be careful with the whole allure of final sale and save yourself the trouble.

Color is darker in person and wish I had ordered the Almond color instead

I had to order these twice because the first pair was too small. 2 weeks later the larger size arrived. The fit is not good. The right foot is correct, but the left foot is enough longer that the weave rubs on my little toe. I put a heel pad in and it seemed to correct this, mostly! One other issue with this type of shoe is that there is NO arch support. I am keeping them, with reservations.

This shoe requires a breaking period. I wore them and got several blisters.

Would order s size bigger.

I ordered these on sale in my usual size 6, and they were way too small. I exchanged for a size 7, which fits snugly. I wore around the house for several hours on consecutive days, and they did stretch promisingly. However, the first time I wore them on an outing with a moderate amount of walking, my heels blistered pretty badly. When my feet heal, I'll try again, but I don't think it should be so painful to break in a pair of woven shoes.

I wrote a review yesterday but do not see it. I bought these shoes 1-2 years ago and really do love them but they were too big. I asked if I should mail them back and was told they would mold to my feet. They ended up stretching out which makes sense and are too big to wear. I normally am a 9.5 so thinking going down half a size or more would work. I would like to get a new pair.
