Jambu was my obsession last year at about this time. There are many that look great with crops/capris and skirts! I wore them all the time, and they are holding up great.


Would you garden or go walking on trails and such in your Jambus? I forgot about them as an option, and they might be more versatile than the Keen if they can hold up. The sole looks durable. I ordered from Zappos, so maybe I'll add a pair of those and take advantage of their easy returns.

Lindsay, if I may ask, what is your reason for sandals not being an option? Just curious because if it has to do with needing a certain amount of support to avoid plantar fasciitis, I have found several very supportive types of sandals that work well for me ...

I really didn't want sandals because I already have sandals and wanted a more comfortable middle option that would be better for hiking and gardening but was something I could use beyond that.

I ended up getting this jambu dune mesh in taupe. Thanks so much, Suzanne! They were not on my radar at all before.

I ordered both these and the Keen whisper that Jen linked to. It was really comfy, but even though it didn't feel too small, it looked too small as my heel was over the edge in the back. Plus, the jambus are a little cuter if not *quite* so comfy, and they are still water proof, can be rinsed, etc..., and I like the lip on the heel so I don't get stuff in my shoe so easily. So, I'll be sending the Keen back this week.

I think that later this summer, I'll have my Birkenstocks serviced and reheeled, and in the fall, I'll order a more solid workhorse Mary Jane.
