I almost never buy shoes in stores any more, they never have styles I want, so I have to do it online. I've learned I have to try on about 10 of them to find 1 that works. Except Merrill sporty shoes which I can just order in the size that works. It's exhausting!!&nbsp;&nbsp;And don't get me started on the availability of petite sizes....a story you know all too well of course! </p> <p>Ok<b> lisa p</b> now you have me quaking in my boots...er..my new sandals....:-)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>dinap</b> not sure they will be ok for all day walking, have not tried that and it was not a must-have for me this time. I suspect they could be given the brand. As far as arch support, as I said before it's pretty good, but if you need stiff arch support like Naots or Birks have you might find them not supportive enough. Even if they worked for me for all day, the only way for you to know for yourself is to try them out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sofft-bali-sandal---what-is-irl-color#post-2034019 Mon, 10 Jun 2019 18:59:32 +0000 dianap 2034019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are cute.&nbsp; Are they comfortable enough for all day walking?&nbsp; Is the arch support good?&nbsp; Going on a trip with lots of walking in a month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sofft-bali-sandal---what-is-irl-color#post-2033628 Sat, 08 Jun 2019 18:55:33 +0000 Anonymous 2033628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d be holding your breath too if I were you , Chris </p> <p>I’m looking forward to receiving them -although only the other item I ordered at the same time is shipping now .

Very cute on you. I will have to keep looking. I hate online shoes shopping so much, but it is seems the only way to get actual wide widths. Just like petites.

Here is my review. It's long but I know I find detailed shoe review super helpful&nbsp;so I'm offering a very detailed review here. </p> <p>The <b>color </b>is definitely somewhere between silver and gold, and looks different depending on the&nbsp;light, just as others said. The front part is more of a sparkly metallic and the ankle strap area is&nbsp;a flat bone/nude color. (It&nbsp;comes in other color combinations too).&nbsp;&nbsp;I usually go for warm neutrals but in summer I wear more cool colors than in winter (like blue) so this color is just&nbsp;right. &nbsp;</p> <p><b>What I look for in sandals:</b> My summers are 3-4 months long, and mostly hot and humid. I'm retired and we mostly don't use our home&nbsp;AC&nbsp;unless it's really unbearable outside. For everyday, I wear flat sandals from mid June through late September. Occasionally I wear ones with small heels for social events. I mostly wear slacks, crops, or Bermuda shorts, and very occasionally a skirt or dress. I don't have particularly fussy feet but need a good amount of padding and arch support and shoes that feel secure on my feet. With extremely rare exceptions I cannot wear slides, mules, or flip flops because they fall off my low volume feet and make me feel like I'm going to twist my ankle or miss the brake on my car. I do need to be able to wear sandals for a lot of walking, but it's driving-around-doing-errands or shopping mall walking, not city walking. I do not wear sandals for exercise walking, I stick with running shoes for that </p> <p>I have flat sandals in black, white, and brown,&nbsp;and wanted to add a <b>metallic </b>his year. I was also&nbsp;hoping for a bit more <b>modern and polished&nbsp;</b>&nbsp;look than some of the sporty ones I have. </p> <p>These Soffts are super comfortable after a few hours of wearing. The straps are soft and do not rub. They have a good amount of&nbsp;cushioning and arch support&nbsp;but not the stiff arches of Naots or Birk's which I find uncomfortable.&nbsp;As I said earlier the fastening is velcro, the buckle is purely decorative. This is great because velcro is more adjustable than a buckle!&nbsp;The toe straps are a tiny bit loose but that's ok because we haven't hit the hottest days yet and feet do swell in the heat. They are also a bit more modern and less sporty than some of my other ones, which is just what I wanted. I also find they look pretty on the foot, not at all clunky which can be the case with some wide strap sandals. </p> <p>They seem TTS. I usually wear a 6 1/2 in sandals and that's what I got. </p> <p><b><u>KEEPERS!!! </u></b></p> <p><b>FINDS:</b> the first are the new sofft ones, the others are the rest of my collection. A&nbsp;few of the black ones are fairly old and will need replacing soon...maybe it's time to add another color....</p> </p> <p><b>Karen13</b>,&nbsp;in a M width these seem to fit my&nbsp;regular width feet well. The don't seem to be available in&nbsp;W. I find Born's in M to be very comfortable.&nbsp;I don't know how&nbsp;to advise&nbsp;you on whether these would fit&nbsp;your D feet, but they are certainly not too narrow for my Medium width feet. Angie did say "not for very wide feet"....</p> <p>will add photos later...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sofft-bali-sandal---what-is-irl-color#post-2033313 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 08:12:20 +0000 Jenni NZ 2033313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I’m hanging out to know what colour you think they are, Chris? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sofft-bali-sandal---what-is-irl-color#post-2033273 Fri, 07 Jun 2019 00:42:27 +0000 Anonymous 2033273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yaas </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sofft-bali-sandal---what-is-irl-color#post-2033131 Thu, 06 Jun 2019 18:11:42 +0000 Chris987 2033131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Suntiger, </b>my sandals just arrived, and the ARE easy on easy off!

If I had some shoes that sometimes looked a bit silver that might push me to try wearing something in a blush color....</p> <p><b>Karen13</b>, I'll let you know once they arrive but I have found sofft shoes quite comfortable in the past but I haven't had a pair since I retired some sandals a few years ago. I've found some sofft sandals in M width to be&nbsp; true medium width, but too loose on my foot, although the sole of my foot is not narrow.&nbsp; (The issue is that my foot is flat like a pancake LOL). I'll wait and see if these work. Also,II need a modest amount of arch support but find stuff arch support like Naots or Birkenstocks to be very uncomfortable, just so you know where I'm coming from. FYI it looks like these do not come in a wide width.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sofft-bali-sandal---what-is-irl-color#post-2032807 Wed, 05 Jun 2019 15:36:10 +0000 karen13 2032807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris or others who have tried this - how is the sizing, width and arch support? I have a D width foot, but some comfort brands like Born sometimes fit, in the right last. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sofft-bali-sandal---what-is-irl-color#post-2032791 Wed, 05 Jun 2019 15:04:58 +0000 Sara L. 2032791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a sandal that's a similar color - it looks gold in some lights and silver in others.&nbsp; I find them really versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sofft-bali-sandal---what-is-irl-color#post-2032789 Wed, 05 Jun 2019 14:49:22 +0000 Chris987 2032789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie!

The Nordstrom find you showed as&nbsp;a top pick looks more like gold to my eye, but Zappos shows it as more of a pewter/silver. I'm hoping it's gold, but guessing it's more like pewter/silver given the name. </p>
