Size Chart
All Kiwi Sandals are offered in whole sizes. If you typically fit a half size, we recommend sizing down. For example, if you are an 8.5, we suggest you buy a size 8.

Our Style No. 71 is one of three adjustable sandal options that includes a cross strap across the top of the foot and an adjustable toe post, with an x shaped strap over the arch. It’s our most secure-fitting sandals, great for adventure and movement. All Kiwi Sandals are made from premium full-grain leather, handcrafted using years of tradition and skills. We give each pair special attention to ensure fit, comfort and the original aesthetic. They’ll come snug at first, as Kiwis are designed to take on the impression of each foot providing the most accurate fit for every individual person.
I was really surprised to like these sandals as much as I do, as I am highly sensitive to sensory inputs. Once pulling on the toe straps was figured out to give appropriate space, they are the most comfortable shoe I have! Sizing down when in-between sizes is appropriate--I'm usually a 9.5 and the 9 is more than spacious. I have gotten them wet/muddy unexpectedly and they cleaned up well and were still comfortable to wear wet. I find I am on the shortest strap hole, and have a loose fit on the straps. The between-toe area was a little uncomfortable for the first few wears, but after getting wet I think it really molded the leather to my natural shape. Looking forward to getting a long wear and $ worth from these!
I love these sandals! 2nd time I’ve bought them! Love small businesses who put out quality products!
Beautiful and fit perfectly after the “break in” period… love them!
Let me start by saying I usually wear an 8.5 - 9 size shoe. I used the measurements they gave, measured my foot and landed on getting a size 8. The straps that go around my ankle fit well, however if they stretch over time I may need to punch another hole or two. I have them currently buckled at the last hole. The straps that go over my toes are really, really tight. This is the main reason for giving these shoes 3 stars. I have been wearing these shoes as often as I can for the past 3 weeks and I have soaked them at least twice and walked around for hours after. The straps are still too tight and after about 6 hours or so I need to take them off. I am hopeful that the straps will eventually stretch and become more comfortable. I love that I can get these sandals wet. I wore them camping and they worked great. I wear them to work and walk about 9,000 steps in them and the only thing sore at the end are my toes from the straps.
I have very wide feet and have been having trouble finding cute sandals that would also be good for walking or wearing to the beach/pool. I’m going to south of France this summer and need something cute and comfortable for lots of walking. I found this brand in a google search and liked the idea of the adjustable straps since that’s usually where I struggle to find shoes that fit. When these arrived I thought I made a terrible mistake. The toe post was too think for between my toes and was super uncomfortable. I had read reviews where people mentioned the sandals need to be broken in a good bit. I decided to work on breaking them in and for the first week I wrapped a cloth bandaid around the toe post to keep it together while I broke in the shoes. I got them wet and wore them around my house and sat in the sun with them. After a few days they were becoming comfortable and I removed the bandaid. They were still a bit stiff but I continued to work on breaking them in and after about 12 days I can now say how comfortable they are. I wear them all the time now and can see them just getting better the more I break them in. The sole is non slip with great arch support. The leather is thick and doesn’t look bonded but whole straps of leather. The craftsmanship looks and feels solid and timeless. I’ll be recommending these to my sister and will definitely be getting more of these in the future. Entirely worth the price.
