Look:Great shoes -- but wear them too much and they'll start to fall apart! The stitching comes out between the leather and the sole. They are great for tooling around, but don't try to wear them for long distances. I walk a lot in New York and twice I've had to repair the stitching. Plus the sole is wearing very thin in the ball of my foot. 2009-03-23 13:25:20 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Anonymous from San Francisco, CA Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Regular size worked for me! I thought about getting the next larger size after reading some of the reviews here but then decided to just get my usual size 8. The size 8 totally fits fine! I'm so glad I didn't get the 9...Not sure what others were talking about with their sizing issues but they seem true to size to me. 2009-02-13 20:23:29 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Cj from ALABAMA Overall:
Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Width: Felt wider than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support Unique style with handmade quality - I got the red and absolutely love the dye used. Perfect with everything! Fit like a moccasin with little arch support, but soft and comfortable unless you spend a lot of hours standing on concrete. I find the stitching down the front to be slenderizing to my wide feet. Hope they bring this color back cause I would get a spare! I have the beige as well and it too is a favorite. 2008-12-03 05:10:01 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Annie from Nashville Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Love it! Amazing shoe, especially for the price. INCREDIBLY comfy, great everyday, go-with-everything shoe, and for a great cause. I do wish it was a little lighter brown (at first glance it looks black)...but the square-ish toe is very flattering to the leg line...really, one of my favorite pair of shoes ever. 2008-11-18 14:54:27 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Wanda from San Jose, CA Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: No arch support Disappointed - This is my 2nd online review! It wasn't clear until I read the other reviews, but this shoe looks and feels great. It just isn't comfortable. I would prefer a 10.5 even though I normally wear a 9.5, but the shoe seem to run small and short. 2008-11-18 14:46:36 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Wanda from San Jose, CA Overall: 
Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Need to return them and get a 10.5, maybe even an 11 - I normally wear a 9-1/2, but bought 10s for comfort. This 10 seems to run small and short because they are very tight and my big toe hits the end of the shoe and it is very uncomfortable. 2008-11-09 05:50:06 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Carlin T from Georgeteown, TX Overall:
Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt a full size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Poor sizing - I always wear a size 10 and I could not wear this size in this shoe. If I could wear it, I would rate it much higher as it is soft and casual. If you are looking for support, this is not the shoe for you… short trips to the store or around the house would be fine. I plan to return it and get the next size up if available. 2008-11-04 05:25:36 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Anonymous Overall:

Look:Soul of Africa - Karabo is my 3rd Soul of Africa Shoe. As are the others, these are a beautiful leather, well made, and a cute comfortable shoe. Quite happy to support the cause. As always Zappos is amazing fast. Ordered on Monday, came on Tuesday. 2008-08-28 09:01:22 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Anonymous from Wilmington, DE Overall:

Not much structure, more like slippers. 2008-07-03 06:14:20 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Anonymous from Prairie Village, Kansas Overall:
Comfort:
Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support This is an absolutely great looking shoe, but the sole squeaks sometime on hard floors like marble, hardwoods, or tile. They really need to fix this with the sole being tighter around the edge so it doesn't catch and squeak. 2008-05-27 20:29:16 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Anonymous from Washington DC Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Cute shoe - Love the softness of the leather and the style is unique. The only complaint is that the sole squeaks on the floor. It’s okay though it’s for a good cause and they are the perfect shoe to change into after wearing heels all day!! 2008-05-03 07:31:38 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Kearisimo from Orlando, FL Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support AMAZING! I am 100% happy with my purchase. The shoes exceeded my expectation. The quality and fit are outstanding. And to make it even more unbelievable, the shipping was ridiculously fast. I received my shoes in 2 days, and I ordered on Sunday! And to top it all off, the customer service is awesome. 2008-04-15 05:43:30 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Anonymous from St. Louis Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Great shoes! Even without arch support, these shoes are so comfy! After reading reviews, I decided to order a size larger than I normally wear (size 8-8.5 and I ordered a size 9). I definitely recommend these shoes and the proceeds go to a great cause. 2008-03-20 06:28:28 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Anonymous from Washington, DC area Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a full size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Looked great, didn't fit - The shoe is more of a moccasin, very stylish in an ethnic way. I would prefer a rounded toe. The color, camel, was good, and the shoe seemed to be well made but the sizing was off. Good summer casual shoe. 2008-02-25 15:08:18 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Barbara from San Diego, California Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a half size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Great Shoes, Great Cause, Great E-Merchant! Just got my new Karabos! So comfortable it's like walking barefoot. This is my second pair of Soul of Africa shoes. They are beautifully made and never make blisters. They do seem to have a toe box that's a little short. But they stretch. They look a little unusual, so you're not one of the crowd. We need more styles and colors in U.S. 2008-02-05 17:59:17 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Sharon M from Cambridge, Maryland Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support I love this shoe. I'm a big supporter of the Soul of Africa line and this one didn't disappoint. It took a few days for the front to stretch out to my feet (my feet are slightly on the wide side so I'm used to this being a common timeframe). The only other thing I noticed was the first day or two the color on the insole (I have the black pair) kind of bled on to my foot, so I'd recommend wearing a black pair of socks with these the first few days. Other than that, a fantastic shoe for a fantastic cause! 2008-01-30 06:50:47 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Anonymous from Cave Creek, AZ Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Well named shoes with soul!! These shoes are perfect. I wear an 8 perfectly and these fit me right out of the box-perfectly! I stand all day at my job and was desperate to find a shoe that would help ease my aching feet! Voila! Fairly inexpensive, soft and comfortable, stylish, politically and ethically kind and considerate--do not hesitate! My only objection is that the black dye from the leather rubs off a bit during the first few wearings. Absolutely love my "Soul of Africa" shoes and I will definitely order another pair. And of course (and no one knows HOW they do it!!!!) Zappos--the world's ONLY place to buy shoes--got them here OVERNIGHT!! Peace, love, and happiness always!!! Oh! And they are really, really cute--perfect stitching!!!!!! 2007-12-18 18:33:13 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Anonymous from Severn, Maryland Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt a full size smaller than marked Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support Karabo - A Good Buy - The Karabo is what it is - so comfortable to slip into. However, I do not wear it when I must do much walking outside or on any hard surface for a long time. I have nerve damage in my feet and I can still feel too much contact with the bottoms of my feet. While wearing Karabo, the tops of my feet feel wonderful. I use Karabo in combination with other shoes that have a more padded inner sole and more arch support. I do not regret purchasing Karabo and will do so again when I can afford another color. 2007-11-30 17:22:54 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Becky C from Lookout, Kentucky Overall:

I have a hard time finding shoes without arches, bad surgery left me with one flat foot. I love this shoe. I got 2 pairs. The money goes to help others too. 2007-11-18 08:43:16 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Janet S from Lihue Kauai, Hawaii Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: Moderate arch support Africa’s Karabo - Aloha, this shoe fit to a tee. It’s soft at first wearing. I didn't have to break it in at all, it’s like wearing kid gloves. I have very sensitive feet and they swell, so these give you lots of room for that. I wear a 6.5, but ordered a 6. Very pleased with these shoes, look great with a skirt or slacks and you’re helping a great cause when you buy these shoes. 2007-11-13 18:14:05 Soul of Africa Karabo Reviewer: Anonymous from Baltimore, MD Overall:

Look:Shoe Size: Felt true to size Shoe Width: Felt true to width Shoe Arch: No arch support A privilege to wear - These shoes look even better in person-- sleek, dress casual with a soft sheen. The fitting seemed very adaptable to all foot widths; my feet tend to be wide and the leather provided comfortable support despite the narrow look of the shoe. The top of the shoe is a little tight for people with a high instep, but the shoes are new and feel like they will stretch accordingly. The sole does not have much arch support, but enough support to feel comfortable if coupled with a shoe insert. All in all, a great product. Top |
