Rubs sides of feet; cannot walk in them
341433
I'm ok with breaking in a pair of shoes, but I'm not ok with intense pain to do this. These Crocs look good, and are my size, but the seam where the back and the front meet creates friction on both sides of each foot. Rubbed me raw. I cannot walk in them. I haven't worn them since the week I bought them over a year ago.

We attended a Gatsby themed party and initially purchased these as part of our get up for the evening. Upon arrival, we tried on the shoes and found that they were quite tight around the sides of my foot, even though there was a good 1/2-1inch between my big toe and the tip of the shoe. In addition, when walking they would rub up against my heel which was painful. At this point, it was quite painful to wear even a short period of time because of the constant pressure and rubbing on the sides of my feet (by big and small toes) and heel. Because these shoes fit the look we were going for exactly, we decided to take a chance and attempt to stretch them with an adjustable shoe horn. After about a week of careful adjustments, I tried the shoes again with heavier socks and patches on the sides of my feet and heel. This seemed to do the trick and allowed for a more comfortable fit. We went to the party and had a grand time. The only thing is that afterwards my feet hurt terribly! We are not sure, though, if this is due to the shoes or from all of the swing dancing that we did. Maybe a combination of both. It is felt that perhaps the manufacturer should consider making a wider size to allow people like myself to truly enjoy their unique and quite well-designed, albeit tight, shoes.

In addition to all of the above, like some prior reviewers indicated, these shoes had a strong chemical smell to them. We used apple cider vinegar, febreeze, and airing off outside to lessen this issue. While the smell has still not gone away completely, it receded enough that nobody near us would be able to smell our shoes. It would have been quite embarrassing if they had!

I have been looking for shoes to wear around the house and for short walks etc., that aren't running shoes - and I really wanted to love these shoes, as they appear to be well made, and are cute. The trouble is that there is so little padding (and I don't have a problem with minimalist footwear) that I could feel every seam on the sides of my feet. This made these shoes exceptionally uncomfortable, and I would worry about blisters if I were to wear them without socks, or for even a short walk with socks. I do not recommend.

Since this is my shoe size, it even is heating on the upper side of my feet. Is a nightmare to walk with them. I already buy another.

These would be a 5 if not for one serious problem. The top of the left shoe seems to ride right below my ankle bone on the outside to the point where it's painful to walk. I thought the shoes would break in, but no such luck. Inserting heel pads help a bit by raising my ankles, but at this price point I would expect the shoes to fit correctly out of the box. I would've returned them, but I hoped with time the shoes would wear in. Disappointing, because I love everything else about them.

I was really hoping to like these shoes, Ahnu came highly recommended. I don't know if I got a defective pair, but I find these shoes roll my feet inwards, causing pain in both the outer and inner edges of my feet, in addition to in my knees... and this is after at most four hours of wear. I was really hoping to return them but the seller would not accept since they had been worn from inside my home, across a parking lot, and then inside again.

I also tried the seller's recommended arch support (Superfeet) which did not change the fit of the shoe or the comfort. If nothing else, I would definitely not purchase this shoe online. Try it on in person to see if your feet sit right. To me, it seems like the outside edge of the shoe is actually higher than the inside edge. I guess I'll take them to Goodwill.

These shoes look really cute on my feet and I would give it 5 stars except for the comfort. The bottom is really soft, but the problem is that the shiny part at the back of the shoe is really stiff. As a result, I get blisters on my feet. The front is also a bit narrow, and the toe part is fabric, so it doesn't really stretch even after wearing these shoes for a while. If you have somewhat side feet, get the wide size and not the normal width. I usually wear the normal width in other brands but my feet are on the wider side of normal. The length fits fine.

Ankle strap rubs the sides and back of ankle. Most annoying is the back strap can not be adjusted. The front piece that covers the toes is very narrow and snug; it pins down the toes and is too tight over the big toe. These are great for showing up to an event, but carry some flats or ballet slippers in your purse to switch into after you say your hellos and take your pictures because you won't be able to wear these for any length of time. This is a disappointment for me because my older Danskos are so wonderful that I have taken them on walking tours for sightseeing!

I really wanted to love these shoes... but too bad that it doesn't fit well. I found the toe box in the front to be too tight; and hurt my feet as soon as I tried them on. And I was looking for walking shoes comfortable for hours of walking around.  these are not suitable for wider feet.
I have to return them unfortunately.

I really love Keen shoes, so I thought I'd love these, but they are not comfortable. the back of the shoe doesn't go all the way around my heel. when I tried them on, I knew it hit a spot that would give me a blister. Also there is no comfort in the sole at all. I wanted these for some good walking shoes that I could wear all day - I would probably only be able to wear these for a few hours before I would get a blister.
Postives: they were sized as expected and had a good amount of arch support; which is hard to find.

Fit the size, but is not comfortable to use. Walking hurts!

These are so cute and fit my 10B foot well. The insole is memory foam but has no arch support.

My big problem with them is that they severely rubbed the sides of my little toes, the tops of my big toes, and the back of my heels after just walking around the house for 7 minutes. Buying a size larger would not change the rubbing issue. There is no way I am going to put on 6 bandaids every time I wear them.

BTW, I bought them at Costco for $17. but wanted to offer my experience. I would have bought the red ones on Amazon if they worked out. In fact, I would have paid a lot more for this style if it were made less cheaply with materials that were foot-friendly.

The sandal is nice looking, the color is pretty. The sizing is right. However the edges of shoe rub the skin of a foot. After 30min walk I developed painful sores on my toes. The plastic is just too hard and lacks some soft lining. I am afraid to wear those shoes again( maybe as a house sleepers with thick socks.)

These shoes actually are sized and shaped about right, but the area just behind my arch had an irregularity on the inside, and it's in the shoe itself, not just the insert, so I don't think I can work around it.  After I got them out for a good long hike, I noticed within about 2 miles that this was rubbing my foot.  Even though I began nursing my feet, eventually I had a blister on the insides of both feet.  This is not unusual, it happens when hiking if the shoe happens not to fit your foot really well.  However, I had waited about 6 weeks to get them out on the trail for a serious test run.  By this time, Amazon would not allow a return.  I bought the next larger size at a local store.  They do not have that irregularity in the sole, so I think they'll be fine.  Still, I'm not happy that these could not be returned for a replacement, so I threw away some money.

These shoes look fantastic and are very sturdy. However, I've owned them for a few months now, wearing them occasionally, and they've never really broken in. I've done all sorts of things to try to soften them up, especially on the heel, but I can't wear them (even with thick socks) for more than an hour or two without them digging into my heels and causing pain. I keep wearing them hoping they'll soften up, but no luck so far.
For the same reason, these aren't the best choice for someone with wide feet, as they haven't begun to "give" in the sides as most shoes eventually do.
Finally be aware these do not breathe at all, so while they are sturdy and keep the rain out, they are not a great choice for hiking or warm climates.

Rubbed side of foot until blisters appeared on both my feet and a second pair I bought for my sister very disappointed shoe was comfortable on bottom just not wearable because of rubbing.

Purchased these shoes for my husband and I. Wore them a few times then realized that they give our feet blisters on the sides that rub up against the rubber. We've tried wearing socks and moleskine but in the heat, when your feet sweat, the rubbing is inevitable. We wanted to like these shoes so bad but it just isn't working out for us.
