Blowfish MalibuBlowfish Womens Granola Sandal

Long lasting, comfortable and versatile
I purchased these sandals in 2022 and they are still going strong. The color is still vibrant and the leather straps have softened and are just as comfortable, time after time. I’ve worn them in the SoCal dry summer heat and in humid European heat and they have been comfortable in both climates. If you are looking for an all-day walking sandal, these would definitely work. A little more cushion wouldn’t hurt, especially after a day of walking on cobblestones but still a 9/10 for me.The sole does squelch and squeak where my arch meets the shoe. I’ve “fixed” this problem by poking a few holes (right about where it says “Malibu” and “-fish”) with a safety pin. That helps the sound go away or at least it’s not as loud.The straps do stretch and loosen a little, so keep that in mind if the straps are a tiny bit tight at first. They’ll stretch and get softer as you wear them.Great pair of sandals and I’m definitely glad I purchased them!

Best versatile summer sandal!
I've had these for 3 years now and they've been amazing. They're the perfect sandal that goes with everything, super casual outfits, and works really well if you want to dress it up a bit. Very versatile! They've also been really comfortable, I don't remember eating to spend any time breaking them in, they were comfortable from the get-go. The soles are finally cracking after 3 years of constant wear throughout summer, and some of the elastic is wearing on the heel strap, but honestly they still look relatively decent, if you don't look closely at the bottoms. The top straps still look great, and they're still comfortable to walk in. I'm about to buy a new pair, purely for the cosmetic reasons I mentioned. But they've held up really well for a long time imo! Definitely highly recommend these sandals. My best friend also has the same pair and loves them. The photos are from now, 3 years in!

Overall fantastic but not great for long walks
Overall, I love these sandals. This is my favourite style of sandal, and this pair is by far the best quality I’ve had. The soles are almost 3 times as thick as a white pair I have from a different brand at almost the same price. They are quite comfortable and fit even my wide feet.My only issue is that I thought these would be better walking shoes than my other pair. I saw them on an online list of good shoes for travel (particularly for walking around), and I can’t say they are going to work out that way for me. I broke them in casually over a few days, and then I tried them out by walking a few blocks around my city. Unless you are going to go at a *very* leisurely pace, these will start to give you deep blisters. My feet started burning after only about 10 minutes of walking (and I have pretty calloused feet). I couldn’t keep up with my husband’s average walking pace. Maybe I needed to break them in more, but I really don’t think that was an issue. We’re going to explore a new city next week, and sadly, I may have to leave these behind.Overall, I do love these shoes, and I think they are super comfortable for regular wear—just not for any significant walking.

Goes with many outfits
These are a perfect sandal that can go with any outfit, from a dress or dressy outfit to shorts. I have these shoes in tan and and black. They are very comfortable, but not sure how they would hold up long walks. My first pair I used for several years until part of the cork broke away in the heel.

Perfect summer sandal
I absolutely love these sandals! They are my second pair and are SO comfortable and easy to walk in. Stylish, go with everything, and easy to slip on once you have the buckle adjusted where you want it. I want to buy more!!

Too short, but so cute!
Every summer, I get a new pair of sandals and wear them until they fall apart. I'm just mean to my shoes that way. So, I really need a pair I can throw on every day and rely on them to get me through *everything*. I don't think I would say these are that pair.I bought these last year for my annual ritual. I deemed them comfortable enough to wear for the year, but found that they were a bit short on my foot, so the thong part between my toes was very tight against my foot. I don't often have issues with sizing, so I found this odd. I continued to wear them for the remainder of the summer, but markedly less often. They were great for weddings and nicer outings with friends and still casual enough to wear with shorts and a t shirt. Pleasant for shorters wearing occasions. I would not wear them all day to walk around, though because they chafe and it gets uncomfortable. By the end of the summer, I had a callus between my toes.tl;dr: They're nice for short amounts of time. Don't expect them to be your go-to daily pair.

You can't go wrong with Blowfish brand shoes
Blowfish shoes are one of my all time favorite brands so I was stoked to see some here. I was in desperate need of some black kind of strappy sandals and looked through all the verified Blowfish sandals until I found these(and one other pair that I also got, those are a bit fancier)and I was lucky enough that they had them in my size for once yay! I wear an 8.5 and that is what I ordered because I. The past whenever I've bought Blowfish shoes of any variety their sizing is always spot on. These are perfect! Super duper comfortable without the straps rubbing any part of my foot that they touched AND the straps themselves are very soft while still being sturdy. These are a great every day mostly more on the casual side but they can be dressed up a bit if you need that. I am VERY happy with my purchase and so glad I now FINALLY have a couple of really good quality black strappy sandals appropriate for just about any occasion. I cannot recommend these, or any other Blowfish brand shoes enough. Quality shoes that last a really long time(at least in my personal experience)and they are at a very reasonable price point. Especially for a decent pair of shoes.
