Size is perfect at 8.5, I bought wide sole and it's slightly narrow in the arch but I'm very happy. They look very stylish even in casual wear or an evening out Show details
Perfect fit,I could wear them all day in the garden, and out to the shops and feel pretty. thankyou! Show details
I absolutely LOVE my new bokyna sandals. They are so comfy I wear them most days! I have prepped my cart for a few more pairs I love them so much... So easy to find what I wanted. And plenty of wonderful colours to choose from! Also very easy to work out shoe sizing AND the shoes are adjustable! Just simply slide the ties around to suit your foot shape... Amazing. Show details
Loving my new summer sandals for work. We have just recently changed our work uniform tops to blue, hence why I selected a blue pair. Very comfy when I go for a quick 1km walk on my tea breaks. Show details
I have now purchased three pairs of Bokyna sandals two for myself and one for my daughter and we absolutely love how comfortable and high quality they are! Show details
Size guide was accurate and I'm very happy with my purchase. I got the barefoot type sandal and immediately wore them for hours, no soreness or blisters. If your not used to barefoot/thin based shoes you might not enjoy but they allow me to feel the ground and move easy while protecting my feet and looking stylish. They arrived quickly and… Read more
shipping was fast. I'm a size 10 /41 and found sizing correct. I wear these so much already I hope to get allot of wear out of them but for now time will tell.

comfortable to wear on short walks or beach, but from a personal experience I walked in them all day for shopping and even though orthopaedic, my back was killing me at the end of the day. Perfect fit, delivery service impeccable. Show details
Follow-up · Good morning, In regards to your questions answers as follow: Went for coffee with a friend, walked around for awhile, comfortable to wear. When I wore to go shopping for a longer period, grocery shopping etc...maybe 2 hrs or so, couldn't wait to get Bokyna off, lower calves felt heavy, sandal felt heavy. I have lower back issues and due to have… Read more
These are more comfortable than I thought they would be however take a bit to get used to the rope support for the arch. Love the colour and will consider buying another pair. They are definitely for a slender foot rather than wide. Show details · 1
Follow-up · Still find these comfortable and supportive and have also bought a second pair in plain black so I can wear the to work and dress up my jean shorts outfits. Good grip and no issues with durability to date.
Great product. Return instructions were easy to follow. Suggest getting free return postage. The sizing is longer than a standard Australian sizing. Need a white arch support shoe. Great for long skinny feet. Thank you. Show details
Follow-up · Haven't received my refund from a pair I returned due to being too big.

Bokyna Touch - comfortable from the first wear – I wore my new Bokyna Touch sandals for the first time recently, and was very pleasantly surprised. They're not my first pair of Bokyna's - I have a pair of Soulmates, Freedom & Waves. But I spend most of my time either barefoot or in minimalist shoes, so I find even the small heel on those annoying after a short period of time. When I first put… Read more
on the Touch, I was a little concerned. They felt a little tight across my foot (my foot is 9.4mm wide) with the straps in the loosest formation. But after an hour or so, I didn't notice anymore. The sole is lovely and flexible and the straps ensure it stays with your foot as you walk, so no flapping around. Once on, they don't tend to move around at all, which is lovely - a lot of sandals I have seem to want to go sideways out from under my foot (I'm guessing that's more me than the shoes, but still nice when it doesn't happen!). So after 5 hours of walking & shopping, my feet felt great, no hotspots or discomfort. The Touch have quickly become my favourite Bokynas - can we please now have them in all the pretty colours???
Shockingly Bad Exchange/Returns & Terrible Customer Service – I own several pairs of these and while I think they are good shoes, my most recent experience makes me recommend erring on the side of caution - particularly if you're unsure on sizing). I purchased a pair for my friend as a birthday gift, but the sizing was wrong. I purchased them on sale (the sale was the only reason I purchased as a gift as… Read more
they're very pricey), but when I asked to exchange them Bokyna were extremely inflexible.
They will only refund upon receipt and expect the customer to re-purchase. It is not worth me exchanging (no support on postage returns - costing the customer an extra $10 each way to return and re-purchase) - their policy is greedy and does not encourage me to continue supporting them as a return customer.
I frequently buy online from many companies, and I've never encountered a company so inflexible. The fact that I'm a return customer meant nothing to them, which I was hugely disappointing - as I mentioned - they aren't cheap.
At the end of the day, I won't be buying from them again.
(After reading the reviews I'm glad I've opted not to return them and instead attempting to sell the purchased pair on marketplace. It's clear that I wouldn't have received any refund).
So comfortable and stylish – I bought a pair of the Seastar style sandals in Navy Zebra last year (during a half price sale) and loved them so much I bought another pair in the Black Friday sales this year. Last year I bought a size up and found they were slightly long. Still comfortable but a bit long at the back. This year I wanted to have a leather sole instead of cork… Read more
(as it does look a bit dirty where my foot is) and liked the look of the toe loop, so bought the SoulMate in turquoise. They are slightly tight, as they usually are at first, but I bought my actual size and they are spot on for fit. I also accidentally ordered the wrong colour (I had two in my basket and accidentally deleted the wrong colour). I got in touch with Bokyna customer service and they replied to me within the hour and sent the colour I wanted. Was very impressed with their friendly service.
I thoroughly recommend these sandals as a more stylish alternative to thongs. They last really well and are super comfortable once you break in the rope a bit.
I also received mine only 3 days after ordering!

So very happy with my new sandals, fit like a glove, look amazing and are good for any occasion. They arrived in good timing and were left in a safe place. Thank you very much!!
I bought a pair of Bokynas. They were dispatched and arrived very quickly. I fell in love with them. A style I liked was only available for wide feet. I emailed Bokyna with a question and received an answer within hours! I was very impressed. I then went online and ordered 3 more pairs. Arrived quickly again and love these just as much. Look… Read more
great and are very comfortable. I've had lots of people admire them. Just wish they made all styles in all the different sole types and colours.
I am very happy with my ordered product. I purchased the first pair of instep support black sandals and then before they had arrived to me, I ordered a second support pair in a different style and colour. There was an initial hold up in delivery of my first pair which was a problem through the courier my end. The second pair arrived on time. … Read more
The service - admin end has been prompt and seamless. Great product which is very comfortable - I'm a happy purchaser .
I know have 2 pair of sandals , I love them. They support my feet with giving me so much freedom. I do not like shoes of any kind but find these perfect. Service and communication was great. Show details
Both sets are amazing but the only issue I’ve found is the braiding on the elevate sandals rubs against the inside of my foot but I’m using a gel pad to elevate any issue. But I absolutely adore both sets and wear the Seastar sandals every day, I can’t wait to purchase again. Show details
Love the eco friendly bag with no plastic packaging. Shoes are comfortable though take a little while to break in, slightly narrow footbed similar to converse. I like the cork base but I am keen to try the arch support ones with my next pair! Show details
I bought 3 pair's 1 for me and 2 daughter's for Christmas presents and we love them beautiful colours and really comfortable. I'm really happy with them and my girls love them. I will definitely be buying more. Thanks so much. Show details
Whilst I love the sandals, my second pair took over 2 weeks to reach me. My first pair arrived within a week. I did contact the company, but it still took days for my order to be processed. Still, the sandals are extremely comfortable and look great! Show details
Follow-up · I've bought another pair of sandals since writing this review, and the processing and delivery was much faster - I received the shoes within a week. Maybe a skeleton staff was on over the Xmas/New year period? As I now have 3 pairs of these sandals, in different styles, I can totally recommend them for total comfort and style!
Really nice. Comfortable. I'm getting so many compliments from my friends asking where I got my lovely shoes! Fortunately I didn't trust the ai recommendation of size 9, and ordered my usual size 8. Great fit. A 9 would definitely have been too big.

These are so comfortable! I've been wearing barefoot shoes for years, but never had barefoot sandals that were comfortable enough to be wearing all day - however, these ones are so comfy, I can wear them all day long - easily. The straps were a tad tight to start with, but the video was very helpful and showed how to adjust them and it was just perfect.
My package arrived in a timely manner. The shoes look exactly as expected, and are super comfy! It actually surprised me how comfortable they are, considering that the sole is quite thin. Would recommend! Show details
I bought the sandals for my daughter’s birthday. Beautiful black plated sandals. Fit perfectly. She wore them to her son’s graduation, so clearly they can be worn anywhere anytime. I also have a brown beige mottled pair , that again go with anything and anywhere. Super comfortable. Great product . Plenty of choices. Thankyou Mandy Show details
Absolutely love my bokynas best sandals ever invented. I have every colour in two styles that I like which is sea star and and soulmate won’t stop until I get every colour? Most comfortable shoes quality has improved over the years. I’ve put a lot of friends and family onto these shoes and they absolutely loved them. Love that you can wear them on… Read more
the beach in the water on the sand and they dry and the sand falls off their fashionable. They go from casual to smart and they go with anything. Everybody needs these sandals in their cupboard.
I love these shoes! I bought some about 7 years ago and wore them daily! I wore them till they died so I had to get more. I don’t know why I was so shocked when I got the new ones. I knew they would be amazing but you keep surprising me Bokyna! LOVE LOVE LOVE! And they came so so fast! So easy to find what I wanted, sizing is perfect. LOVE!!!!! Show details
I purchased a pair of Freedom sandals and the right foot was an extremely loose fit. After trying to adjust the heel strap it was still flopping around on my foot. I realised that the heel strap on the right is at least 2 cm longer than the left foot. I've emailed Bokyna for advice on how to proceed from here. I'm not very pleased with the obvious quality issue and there is very minimal adjustment built into the design. Show details
Great sandals. I have very sensitive skin and these don't dig in or cut or rub in any way. The cork soles are surprisingly comfortable and are suitable for a whole day out walking around. Show details
These are so cute!! I'm an AU 7.5, bought an 8. It's not an absolute perfect fit since I sized up, but they're comfortable and I didn't get any blisters. I think if I had sized down, it could have been too narrow for my liking, so I'm glad the site suggested sizing up. Overall really happy with my purchase, and I got lots of compliments. Show details
