I was pleasantly surprised with these sandals. Extremely comfortable. I like that they can be adjusted to your feet.

I tried this style after success with other Wolky styles (like Jewel) because I wanted a lower platform. And I like the lace-up that hints towards the gladiator style currently popular. These work with crops and skirts and provide all day comfort, and I need a shoe with cushion and support. So I recommend them to folks with problem feet. Although we're having a staycation this year, I would definitely pack these if we were traveling as my solo pair.

so comfortable, except for the lace cord, which rubs right on my toe on each foot. Would have loved to keep these!

Really comfy cute shoes! I had a pair several years ago that I wore out and couldn’t find a replacement pair in my size. Thanks to Zappos I found them and I’m so happy about that! They are comfortable right out of the box- Reviews on the laces that people couldn’t keep tied or hurt their toes I have not had that issue with my first pair or these. Great support on your aching feet. Love mine. Thanks Zappos

Love them fit was perfect. I wear a size 5.5 and the 36 fit perfectly. I didn’t have any issues with the ties some of the other reviewers did . I’ve been going through chemo treatments for the past year and a half I I can’t seem to find the right comfy shoe. These fit the bill.

I usually wear only Alegria and Danskos. I though I would give this brand a try. I wasn't disappointed. Extremely supportive and comfortable. Many comments stack the lace rubs the toe area. I find when you adjust the laces to a larger fit, their is no rub. If you tie the laced too tight there can be a rub. That is the beauty of the laces. You can adjust to a custom fit. They are stylish as well, no grandma shoes for me!!! I had to really search for the brown ones as they are out of stock everywhere. So happy I found them.

I have a pair of these in black that are probably at least 10 years old. They are supremely comfortable and have held up well, so I decided to buy another pair in a different color, just in case they should become unavailable. They have a lot of support for a sandal type shoe.

I'm in love with these shoes. I got them to take to Italy next month and wear with casual skirts, capris, and a travel dress. I've had foot surgery and need something that's got great support and isn't hyperflexible in the toe bed. The second I put them on, my feet felt like they were home. The toe bed allows my toes to sit naturally-- sometimes they're too narrow-- and the laces allow me to adjust the fit of the shoe for the entire foot-- they're perfect! I love that the leather comes down over the side of the sole to make it look a little less sporty. There were only two colors left when I ordered, so I've ordered another color from another company to see if it works with my trip clothes better. I will be happy to have two pairs of these if so.

I tried three Wolky models and these were the best. I have wide feet and lots of foot pain. These are super comfy. Wore them straight from the box. Soft cushy base that cradles the foot, wide toe area, adjustable. Worth the money. I normally wear a 41 but took a 42 in these and they're perfect.

this is a great shoe...good looking and extremely supportive and comfortable. Keeps the foot aligned, solid. Unfortunately, my right foot is a 10 1/2, and the shoe is just a skosh too short with my long toes. A shame.

These sandals are an investment, but definitely worth it. This is my second pair and I'm very happy with them. Extremely comfortable, even for long walks. Highly recommend.

I chose this shoe because I saw it in a traveler catalogue but I went back to my trusted Zappos to actually buy it. I am going on a trip in September to celebrate my 70th birthday and it will be hot and there will be much walking. I have no particular foot problems except that I have a small foot that is quite wide in the front. Only Zappos carries my size. My husband was happy with the lace-up style because he feels it has better support. I have worn them around the house and on some short errands and they seem to be all that I was hoping for. I also like the way they look on my feet. I believe they will be perfect for my trip! I even bought a second style in a different color.

I have had this shoe in another color and just loved it, but they have recently changed the design to make their new shoes with a higher heel, which I could not wear. So I was delighted to find this older style shoe here in the color I wanted. Lorraine

I've had a pair of Wolky Kite's for 10 years. No other shoe compares with the comfort, durability and style of this shoe. I've tried many other shoes but realized in order to be comfortable I needed only another pair of Wolky Kites. I've had both knees replaced and a comfortable, well-fitting shoe is what I'm looking for. Ecstatic that I could still get them!

Expensive but worth it! Looks a little bit retirement home...but if you rock with cool kid clothes it works.

Custom fit! This shoe is very supportive and comfortable and needs little breaking in. I initially overlooked it because I wear a 12N and the largest size (43) is translated as 11-11 1/2 so it wasn't coming up in my searches. I was encouraged by the reviewer with the narrow foot and those who said the shoe runs long. This shoe has a great fit for me and my bunions. It seems that this adjustablility could fit various individual needs including wide feet. The support is excellent. They look great on. Too bad Zappos doesn't have them in more colors. I searched the web and ordered a black pair from a different shoe vendor. That experience made me appreciate Zappos' well designed web site and superior service.

Comfortable walker - I really like this shoe. I have a narrow foot and usually need an orthotic for arch support. This shoe, though not available in narrow fit well (laced tight to the max) and gave great support. I ordered a half size smaller than my normal size. It was just right. Zappos' service is great!

super shoe - Love the shoes but had to reorder the shoes because they definitely are a full size larger than marked.

The Kite is a High Flyer - If you want a shoe that you can step into and walk away in right away, then the Kite is for you. If you want a shoe that looks good on your foot and is very comfortable, then the Kite is for you. This is my fifth pair of Wolkys (I own four other styles) and in my closet, they are the first I reach for.

Comfortable and adjustable - Have worn this all summer in comfort. The ties and the adjustable heel strap allow you to fit the shoe to your foot. Plenty of forefoot and toe room! Good support, even in the arch and stability. I have red and I love it.

Another great Wolky - I have had two foot surgeries in the past year and Wolkys are the only shoes that are really comfortable. I can wear them right out of the box because of their perfect combination of comfort and support. I have yet to find a style that is not comfortable. The "Kite" is no exception. Since the surgery, my feet are two different sizes and they make many styles that can be adjusted to fit both feet. I buy my shoes at Zappo's whenever I can. Their service is the best on the Internet!

Love 'em! I had a pair of Wolky shoes similar to these for about 10 years! They are now my gardening shoes. I have been hunting for another similar pair and this year, Wolky came out with Kite! They fit very well, are SO comfortable, look great, and I love them. The plus for me is that they are RED! I wear a size 11 narrow... and finding red shoes is VERY difficult. So when I found my favorite shoe in red, I immediately ordered it. Zappo's service was excellent as the shoes were here in 2 days! Kudos to Wolkey's and Zappos! Thank you! Thank you! -K.C.
