They only problem with my order is that I only bought one pair, and not two! So far, all the positive reviews have been spot on. Happy camper right here.
Ashley H.
Was dubious that they would be wrong shape for wide, short feet but there is plenty of space - wore them all day at work no probs
Olivia F.
Really love these shoes so far! They are on the stiff side but as others have said, they didn't require any breaking in (no blisters!) And they feel like they will last a while
Rebecca G.
The most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn, and I have very blister-probe feet. They are lovely for summer and the ethical production makes me so happy! Will buy again.
Harriet c.
They are so comfy!
Mary S.
Super happy with my new Ghost Sneakers! Great design which wear comfortably all day. Good to know they're ethically & sustainably made too ☺️ thanks Orba!
Dana M.
Love the look and style of these shoes and that they're so environmentally conscious. They're a bit stiffer than I expected so taking a while to soften up and my personal insoles fit but are squeaking, but hopefully those things settle once I break them in!
Melissa E.
They’re a little stiff. The inner sole is a bit hard and the back rubs a little, but not enough to give me a blister yet. I love the way they look though, and they’ve been complimented a few times since I started wearing them. I’d been looking for environmentally friendly shoes for ages and it was so good to finally find some, so thank you! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Elizabeth B.
These shoes are a surprisingly good fit, for a shoe bought online. They are comfortable, the heel fits particularly well. I like the colour, an attractive off-white.
My only dislike is the lacing style the shoes arrived with - it makes it very difficult to loosen the wide laces and shoe top enough to easily get a shoe on or off. I'll be changing the lacing style as soon as I can research one that is easier to work with!
Kathryn R.
Comfortable, stylish, and so great to know they can be 100% recycled!
Shirley O.
A very comfortable pair of shoes. Comfort immediately and comfort all day. Thank you!
Samantha W.
Love them, they look great and feel so comfortable
Juliana D.
I had my doubts when ordering but IM EXTREMELY HAPPY!
nos a single complain, they are even more gorgeous than in the photos.
The size chart was great; I wasn't sure of the size, but they fit me perfectly.
Thank you for a great considerate product.
Georgie F.
Absolutely love them! Comfortable from the very first wear. Stylish. Environmentally friendly. A great purchase. Thank you!
Briar D.
Love them soo much and the kaupapa is awesome. Everyone who has seen me in them asks about them and wants to buy some for themselves so I hope that you the love continues to spread.
Fiona T.
Súper comfie but also supportive. And stylie too
Laurence M.
Great shoes for my wife’s less-than-perfect feet. Surprised at such comfort from the get-go. Lining up a pair each for the rest of the family.
Kathleen G.
I have to say I love these more than I thought I would! They are really cute off white colour and get more comfortable the more I wear them. Cute and stylish classic sneaker shape. I have been spraying them with fabric protector so hopefully that keeps them fresh for a long time!
jacinta a.
Awesome sustainable good looking shoes!
Aine M.
So comfy! I wore them all day the first day I tried them on and no rubs or blisters. They look just like the pictures. Love love love them.
Fleur C.
I put them on and went walking right away - no blisters or rubbing.
They remain (after two weeks) quite stiff to put on, but this isn’t a problem.
Jennifer C.
I love the off-white colour and find it more versatile than pure white. The shoe accommodates my orthotic and are so comfortable. I anticipate them being my go to shoe in the summer.
Jane C.
worn them heaps already and they are really comfy - been telling all my friends
Jane C.
My Orba's are comfortable to wear and look great.
Mihiata P.
Very comfy, feel nice and sturdy, and great to know that I can bury them in the garden when they wear out! Would definitely recommend.
Helen A.
Great shoes. Immediately comfy and good looking. A lot of thought has been put in to getting the basics right on these sneakers.
Fran G.
Comfy from the first wear, no breaking in required. I love the Orba kaupapa and true to form my awesome planet friendly shoes arrived in totally sustainable packaging, which is so refreshing as lots of other companies that claim to be sustainably minded are still using single use plastic packaging.
Heidi C.
Love the lock and how they look. But oroud that they are good for environment. Like the new party trick
Saxon s.
I absolutely love these orba shoes I don’t want to own any other white pair these go with everything in my wardrobe they are so comfy and I’m so glad I am contributing towards a healthier planet. I also love that I’m supporting a business in my country thank you for the phenomenal design. I love that I have a unique shoe that not everybody has. I love to stand out and when people say what is that brand on your show I can’t wait to tell them about it!!
Victoria E.
Great shoes. They comfortable to wear and really versatile. They're the only shoes I brought on holiday! I love that they're fully biodegradable.
Stef F.
I work in hospo so comfy, breathable shoes are a must, and these tick the box! The fabric upper softens up really nicely after a couple wears, no blisters or sore spots at all (and I normally suffer with new shoes as I have wide feet). Super stoked!
Caroline M.
Great comfortable shoe. No wearing in was needed (I usually get blisters with new shoes). Love the look, so versatile, I can wear them with anything!
Hope D.
Super comfy! They can be a little tight to get on and off because the material doesn’t have any stretch to it, but they are very comfy - was able to wear straight away with no blisters :)
Nicola R.
Love them, super comfy, colours good not being white although my dog stood on them already, im better with another colour but i still love them and the fact they are compostable is amazing.....my son is trying to steal my 2nd pair....
Shelly l.
Very cozy, fashionable and go with my style! Bumped into one of my friends at uni and she was wearing them too!!!!
Angela W.
Very comfortable and look great!
Pru D.
Very comfortable shoe. It is quite heavy. Was planning to travel with them but might rethink that.
Amy R.
I love love love these shoes, they are so cute and you can bury them in your garden which just seems like an absolutely insane bit of technology. There customer service is also 10/10.
Annie M.
Bloody love these shoes - comfortable from the first wear and look great!! I have long feet and they run a tiny bit large but I suspect a smaller size would be a little tight so I am happy with the size. Will absolutely be buying these again :)
Shona M.
Instantly comfortable and wore them all day on first try. I really like the slim-line appearance of the shoe - quite dressy. In fact, I was surprised they were so comfortable, given that slim line.
It also feels good to know that these shoes will end up back in the soil rather than a landfill.
Looking forward to seeing a colour range soon, I hope.
Lauren O.
A great investment!
Ruth M.
Love these shoes! Go with everything and super comfy for office or weekend. They were a bit stiffer than I thought they be but this doesn't make them any less comfy. Awesome shoes!
Julian P.
All the women in our family now have a pair and they love them and cannot wait for the new colours.
When will the men's pairs be available ?
Bryan
Extremely comfortable
Jacinda T.
These shoes are INCREDIBLE. They are hands down the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Their temperature control is insane (better than All Birds!) and go with everything I own. These are seriously the only sneakers you need.
Brooke M.
These shoes were comfy from the moment I got them out of the box. No need to wear them in like other shoes.
I love them and have told lots of friends about how good they are.
Catherine B.
Love these shoes. Look great and so comfortable. Walked and stood around Wellington for 6hrs and still felt comfortable.

My new favourite shoes!!
I was unsure how the shoes would feel on, however, I wore them for a whole day straight out of the box without any socks on and they were the comfiest shoes I've worn in a long time! These have fast become a favourite in my wardrobe and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to others. These shoes are well made, durable and provide all day comfort.
Eraena C.
Very Comfy Thank you
Anita W.
Love the fit, love the style, these are great! A little stiff to start with, but they've softened up fast and were never actually uncomfortable despite the stiffness. I feel so satisfied every time I wear them (every day), knowing they'll break down. They've been such a conversation starter - I'm in love!
Jessica M.
Very comfortable, look great and I just love the attention to detail that has gone into the sustainability of all the materials! Fashion does not need to be at the sacrifice of the planet. Well done team Orba!!
Margaret B.
I enjoyed your advertising, your process and also love the shoes themselves.
They are comfortable, they look good, and they are biodegradable in process and product.
Jennie K.
Love these sneakers. Look great and they are super comfortable. The new price is awesome.
I would describe them as a narrower than average fit. But this works for me as I have narrow feet.
Sarah G.
Loving these shoes, they are so comfortable, look great and it's such a good feeling knowing they are sustainable and biodegradable.
Natalie N.
Awesome job by the design team to get the perfect balance of comfort, style and sustainability! I love that I can throw them on with anything and be so comfortable all day - the cork inner sole is amazing. Really need a pair in black :)
Tessa G.
These shoes are the best! Comfy, supportive and cute. Go on!
Noeline H.
I have one foot larger than the other through surgery so Im please that my shoes accomodate this.Thanks.
Jane P.
Perfect in length but rather wide in the forefoot for me.
I like the fact that your feet don't get hot as they can with synthetic sneakers.
Sophie M.
LOVE these!
So comfy, such a funky style and so respectful to the environment!!! Also LOVE supporting local!
Courtenay R.
Love these - but, as I feared, being white these are VERY hard to keep clean. BEWARE when walking on grass!
Dannielle J.
The most comfortable shoes
These sneakers are super comfortable with none of the pinching or heel-chafing stiffness of other new sneakers. They look great and smell great - no nasty plasticky odours. I've done a good few kms in them already, and am still 100% positive about them. Will definitely be buying these again. I think they were slightly longer in the toe than I would expect from a size 40.
Karolyn B.
Great shoes with fast delivery
Love the shoes and professional experience ..... thanks !!
Janene S.
Good value in every way
Love the ethos. Today wore my Orba Ghost shoes for the first time and am delighted to say they look great, were a little stiff initially but comfortable and easy to wear. I had to exchange the first pair I purchased as I'd ordered the wrong size and the exchange process was very smooth, easy and efficient. I think I'll be wearing these a lot and am just thrilled to be supporting something like this. Congratulations on the awards - well deserved.

Nice
Nice shoes, it would be perfect if the shoes come in size 35,
Annelisa U.P
Amazing
They look amazing! Sam was great, as I ordered a size too small, and he sorted me out. They were a topic of conversation at a party. I won't be buying other brands now as my cool shoes. So love it that it is locally designed and supports communities overseas.
Nicky E.
Great colour, laces stiff but will loosen I'm sure with wear.
Renee
Comfortable AND Cute
The cork insole is so comfortable, even after all day wear. Wore these shoes the first time for over 10 hours and there was no rubbing on the heel or tightness. Just perfect.

Sue Z.
Very happy Orba wearer
My shoes are very comfortable to wear - a great pairing of style and comfort. Stiff at first they are softening and becoming even more suitable for my feet. Soles have great grip.
Miriam R.
Gray shoes! Absolutely love them. Have notice the fabric is already starting to appear form the lining where my toe bends the shoes. That’s the only negative so far
Marg D
I really love these shoes
Apart from loving the fact these shoes are biodegradable I really like the fit, texture and comfort of these shoes, the first pair I ordered were too big but the process to return and exchange for a smaller fit was incredibly easy and cost me nothing. Weird (but nice) observation, there is no horrible chemical smell with them, they remind me of how sneakers used to smell years ago.
fiona mc.
fabulous shoes
well made, fit perfect and pleased that there is no plastic. thank you
Emily M.
first pair of Orba shoes
Happy with fit and comfort
Kim M.
I love them. They are very comfortable. Knowing they are biodegradable makes me happy.
My feet were narrow but as I get older (I'm 72), they got flatter and they are now of average width.
I replaced the Orba insoles with my own orthodics.
Cushla Fi.
So comfy
Really comfy shoes, nice and minimal
Frances P.
Really nice shoe, the sides are fairly solid which can make getting them on a bit hard but haven't had any issues with breaking them in. Would highly recommend
Sam
Comfortable shoes
Look great and easy to wear
Rebecca D.
Stylish and eco-friendly!
I'm loving wearing my new Orba shoes. They were a little stiff to start with but have quickly softened up. I love that they look great and I can also feel good wearing them knowing I'm doing something positive for the planet.
Theresa K.F
Summer shoes
Very happy with my sneakers. Just what I was looking for.
Helen B.
Still trying them but had them on for a number of hours this week and feet were ok - just felt like a little rubbing but there wasn't actually any skin damage.
Belynda
Super Orba Ghost Sneakers
Great length fit, quite stiff to start with but are loosening up. Super cool, I'm so glad I purchased a pair! Thanks
Jo G.
Great
They are quite firm and will take some time to wear in. Love the look of them.
Sheryal T.
Great biodegradable sneakers
I found the sneakers I ordered a little large but have kept them to wear with thicker sox's in winter
Robyn V

Very pleased with my orba’s great communication with team- very keen to support the NZ design into sustainable footwear a big motivation for purchase.
Nice fit, feel and look
Tino pai te mahi!
Jo M.
Good looking
I haven’t worn these much yet so can’t comment on how they will soften. The laces are annoyingly firm and it’s difficult to tension them but they will break in I suppose.
David

Totally comfortable from the first wear. Excellent fit. No blisters. I love the classic styling. Get yourself a pair.
Mike C.
Can't wait to show my Orbas off.
Just love them to bits. They’re light. Perfect fit. And I adore the natural colour.
Kristin M.
Awesome shoes
They are super comfortable and look great. Very happy with my shoes. It also feels good to be supporting people and planet with this purchase. Recyclable and minimal packaging was nice to see too.
Sylvia C
Beautifully shaped shoe and was really surprised how comfortable they were from the first wear. I’m really proud to wear a shoe that has been produced so sustainability.

Amazing comfort
From the first moment I put these shoes on and stepped in them I was amazed… comfort, look, sustainable products…. These shoes have it all!
B.T
Highly recommend.
Great quality, and perfect fit. Really comfortable from the first wear. Didn't need breaking in.
Katie L.
Great shoes!
Rawe color, love the idea behind them. Take a little bit of wearing in to suit your foot shape but happy with the end result. Thanks team!
Kathrin S.
Pretty fly for a (off) white guy!
Well these were quite something. Wasn’t 100% sure until I put them on and they seem to have captured the old school cut - not too narrow and not too wide. Instantly comfortable and only blister came after about a solid 8 hours in them walking around Wellingtown. I must say that although I’m not against paying a lot for a good pair of shoes it felt better on the pocket to have scored these at a crazy discount over the New Year and would be good to see them at a lower price point moving forward. Maybe the more you sell, and if you introduce different colour ways, you might be able to do that? Overall, very impressed.
Anita C.
A nice classic white shoe
A really nice classic tennis shoe, love the off-white colour and that it is biodegradable shoe
I am a 6.5 US and I went for the 38 because of the guide on the website but I should have gotten a 37 as they run slightly larger
I'm the kind of person who likes to slip them on and off without untying the laces and the only thing is they're really annoying to slip off, because the canvas is really tough.
Jenny C.
Great looking and very comfortable.
Plenty of room in the toe which is good for hot days. I love the off-white colour. I didn't find the shoelaces easy to pull through to tighten or loosen so I put in a pair of round laces. Perfect now.

Very happy with the shoes. I was told by my office's fashion expert that they were "on point". It would be the first time in many years I had heard that!
