Nina E.

So wanted to use my Afridrilles. Such lovely colors, such a worthy cause! Unfortunately had to return them. They hurt. No flexibility in the soles, Seams were rough. They were simply toohard, overall very uncomfortable for my feet. However! Know I will stay tuned in case there may be changes to make these softer overall.

Rachael A.

I love the style and color of these. However, I the sizing is off. I ordered the same size in the Natural Classic Canvas, and they're about a half size larger (and therefore fit).

Kathleen R.

Love my new espadrilles!! Gorgeous, rich color (got the green ones!), well made, and feel fantastic! These will be my go to shoes all Fall!

Margaret A.

These shoes are so attractive I got compliments immediately. Not only that...they are comfortable right out of the box. That never happens but Ubuntu does it. I love the green color and style. Straight A’s.

Nancy H.

Sturdy, well made, so comfortable - and stylish! I get tons of compliments on my Afridrilles! When I first got them, I could feel what felt like tiny grains of sand inside. I didn't want to shake them out! I would feel them and think, I'm walking on the sands of Africa <3 Sadly, they're all gone now - I wear the shoes so often those tiny pieces of Africa have now been scattered near the Mississippi River in Iowa :)

Rafael C.

I very much like the look of the Afrodille and it looks very well made, however, the size 13 is still a bit too small. I don't want to return it because it's the largest size you have so I may be forced to cut one size in the hopes that that will help it fit. :-(

Mark T.

I bought a pair of the green 8.5 w for my partner. She usually wears an 8-8.5 wide and these fit her nicely. She was very pleased with the style and has been enjoying them a lot. Thanks for a pleasant transaction!

Diana G.

Love kenya and I love Ubuntu. They have lovely products and they shipped really fast! AAA+

Penny t.

Love love love these shoes . ♥️♥️

Maria P.

They are very hard to put on. They feel ok once on. I like them but disappointed at the same time

Susan A.

Beautiful color, nice workmanship and comfortable sole. Breaking them in now, but very pleased.

Dan Swaznik

Love the safari green afridrilles! These form to your foot and are seriously the most comfortable pair of shoes in my line up. The safari green color is perfect with pretty much any outfit.

Travis

These shoes are super comfy. I wear them almost everyday. It's also a great reminder of the impact every time I put the shoes on and off!
