“A different choice from my usual Strive sandals, so different position of straps. But a good, they are light but robust, comfortable. The footbed took a little getting used to, very different from the leather of my KONA sandals. But I'm happy!”
“Fantastic sandles. Purchased mainly so I could paddle at the beach without the risk of stepping on broken shells etc. They work perfectly, super comfy, lightweight, they take a little while to dry but in this weather that's no problem, the only other issue is they make a slight noise when walking in them when wet(!), oh and the front (toe) strap could be a tad shorter for me but that's being really picky.”
“I have worn strive summer shoes for several years now. Pretty and comfortable. I have a lot! There is nowhere else I would buy my summer shoes. Autumn/Winter wear has always been dissapointing, old fashioned and a very small selection. No boots I would ever consider. I hope strive might address that in the future. Modern selections of both would be so great. Slim and wide fitting boots. I wouldn't need to shop anywhere else! Instead i have a bespoke orthotic which I place inside a normal shoe/boot when I can't wear summer sandles. Slippers are also very good and very comfortable. I also buy those.”
“I am on my 3rd and 4th pairs of Strive sandals and thongs. I love them. They are true to fit sizing and so supportive on the arches. I can literally walk miles in them and often have, 2 hour dog walks not uncommon with no signs of sores or blisters. I have three pairs on the go now and wouldn't buy from anyone else now. They are so comfortable and durable, although sadly i did manage to ruin the gold finish on a pair which was entirely my own fault through cleaning with the wrong type of product. A lesson learned. And was a good excuse to add two more pairs into the wardrobe!”
“My coral Capri sandals are lovely, I particularly like the soft lining on the sandals. I purchased a pair of navy Capri’s with a pink trim from my podiatrist last year and they were so comfy the only problem was they made my feet so hot as there was no lining on the inside. So my coral sandals are so nice and cool.”
“My order came in good time. I love the sandals, they suit me perfectly in all aspects, fit, look and comfort. Just what I have been needing for many years. The fact they have an orthotic sole also means they are good for my feet and gait. Thank you. Oh and the colour goes with everything and the sandals are nice and subtle.”
“Very pleased with the trainers, could wear them straight away no breaking in necessary. Usually stick with vionic footwear, but getting really expensive. I have plantar fasciitis so need the extra support. Very pleased.”
“I came to Strive's website via Archie's flip flops. I really need arch support but can't wear flip flops walking outside on rough roads. Anyway my Strive sandals arrived a few days before I went on holiday and when I tried them on I found the stitching on the heel strap was very lumpy on just one shoe. I contacted customer service and was told that this had happened before and the stitching would soften with wear. I was given approval to return them after I had been away for the month (if I decided not to risk wearing them on holiday.). I placed a strip of moleskin foot padding on the strap and decided to wear them as it was too late to get another sandal.
My reason for mentioning this issue is just to say that it was worth the effort as they are very comfortable sandals with perfect arch support for my plantar fasciitis. I've also found that the straps don't rub - even when my feet are swollen and hot so for all of these reasons I am happy to give Strive a 5 * review. Maybe I'll buy another style!”
