"My feet are extremely high maintenance, and I have back problems to boot. I ordered the message slide becaus eI thought it would fulfill sandal needs in a variety of situations while accommodating all of my other issues. It's not quite zero-drop, but almost, I need to give it some breaking-in time, but I am thrilled with the way that it looks. The cork footbed is a godsend. These are my thoughts after a few days. So far, I'm quite pleased."
"Just unpacked them! The fit is great, even for my bunioned feet and crooked toes. Seem very comfortable right away. The footbed feels great and the stretch in the fabric is just right: I don't feel squished or like my foot will slide out."
"I very much love these shoes. I walked all over HI in them on vacation, and they were comfortable and stylish. There was a bit of a learning curve as they adjusted to my feet, but once the band broke in a bit, I never had another issue. Yes, I would recommend these shoes."
"I hate writing these dumb narratives BUT since I have worn the sandals for a day and my feet 1) stay in them, and 2) my feet don’t hurt, I think I am liking them. Stay tuned if I have something more important to say."
"I bought a size smaller than I normally would have. Im a size 8. But ordered a 37. They are snug and feel amazing. They are exactly what I wanted. I am interested to see how the cork footbed wears, as I have only ever bought a black footbed because I hate seeing the 'toe imprints' in other sandals. I like the longer slide option that gives it a less sporty slide feel. I love the fabric and that it doesnt stick to the top of my foot like a lot of formed slides do. Ill update if I need to but I am going to order another pair today! ♡"
"absolutely loving these sandals i wear Golden shaw the first time it felt so good on my feet’s and i have not used other sandals"
"These were worth the wait. I got them 2 days ago and have only taken them off to sleep! They are so comfortable right out of the bag. I’m shopping for more colors now. I have very small narrow feet and they fit like a glove with arch support and wiggle room for your toes. And no break in time. Just get them. You won’t be sorry."
"Elastic across top is way too tight. Sizing is off: I order 39 in Birkenstock so I ordered 39 in Shaw Slides. They are too long. I don’t understand the hype. They are not comfortable due to elastic being so tight."
"I ordered these for a beach trip since they are water friendly unlike a regular cork sandal. They’ve been the perfect shoe for this trip! There was a delay in shipping, so it took a week shy of 2 months to get them, so keep that in mind when ordering. Overall, very happy with my purchase. Their customer service can’t be beat! Excellent communication."
"I was happily surprised at how comfortable these shoes are. I needed a slide with a firm top feel and sole that is flexible not hard and structured unlike birkenstocks. So happy"
