Sorel Lake Shoes - Leather (For Women)

These sandals/shoes are so cute and well made, but I had to return them because my arch was too high for a good fit. I'd suggest ordering up a half size too.

I really like these Sorel Lake Shoes. They are a little different like a cross between a sandal and a shoe. They have arch support and are quite comfortable.

very cute on. comfortable. can't wait to wear them next year.

The shoes are a perfect fit and comfortable the minute I put them on. I received a lot of compliments on the style and color. One of my favorites.

These shoes are well made, a fun mix of shoe and sandal. I wanted something a little dressier than sneakers, but something easy to walk in, and these are a good choice for that. The leather is a little stiff at first and I worried that the straps would chafe my toes while I was breaking them in, but they didn't. There's no arch support, however, so walking or standing in them for hours leaves my feet tired. I have a low instep, which makes most shoes with non-adjustable straps hard to wear - They're often too high at my instep and I slosh around in them. This shoe seems to be made for folks like me with flatter feet and stay on just fine. Other reviewers mentioned that the heel was too wide and slip when they walk - I have narrow feet and heels and didn't find that to be true. The sandal was true to size for me, but again, I think that was because of my low instep. I think someone with a higher instep would need to size up in order to fit their foot under the straps, and that might create enough extra room for the heel to slip.
It's a great shoe for flatter feet; it would be perfect with some arch support, hopefully Sorel reads reviews!
