So comfortable and versatile... Dress up and dress casual. The perfect colour to do every event! Thanks Orba Love them to bits.
Ruth B.
Love them! The perfect white sneaker, instantly comfy and go with everything, plus the added win of having super low environmental impact. Found my new go-to!
Rachel M.
Orba, these shoes are the best! The most comfy sneakers I've ever owned - thanks so much !
Amelia R.
I just love the look of these shoes! They are surprisingly comfortable but do need a bit of wearing in initially. They go with everything though and I love knowing that I'm wearing a shoe that is good for the planet. Ka rawe, Orba shoes!
Caitlin B.
LOVE my Obra shoes. Super comfy and great for wide feet. Shoe laces are a bit stiff but they have loosened up after tying a few times

I've been thinking about buying a pair of orbas for a long time but I'm always hesitant to buy anything that I can't try on first. However, the size guide was really helpful. These are ever so slightly on the bigger side of a 36, but still fit well and are extremely comfy and I figure it's a bonus that I have space for insoles if I want! So glad I finally bought a pair

These shoes are awesome for wider feet, they fit perfectly and are super comfy!
Belinda v.
A little stiff for the first few days but have softened and are extremely comfortable. I have enjoyed letting people know where they come from when they have commented on how good they look.
I am enjoying wearing shoes that will not harm our planet when they are worn out.
Thank you for your care in the design and making of my new favourite footwear!
We are finally meeting up with our family for Christmas after the pandemic and have bought 6 pairs of Orba shoes as Christmas presents for them all!!!!
Thank you all for taking care of our planet!

I love how they look, but they take some wearing in as the soles are very firm.
The first time I wore them, my feet ached overnight (admittedly I didn't wear them in slowly but launched into a beach-walk).
The second time was better though I wore orthotics and wore for a shorter time.
Worn for the third time all day yesterday, no orthotics, outcome somewhere between the prior two wears so I think they'll be more comfortable over the next couple of times worn as the sole adjusts to my foot.
I love the concept and how they look, so will keep wearing but recommend going slow.
Cecilia C.
They very comfy and looks good too.
Joanna W.
I love these! Comfy right from the start, and so good to know they're made ethically, unlike most shoes.
Rosa T.
Love them! Super comfy - would highly recommend.
Eloise K.
I find the shoes to be very comfortable and quite stylish.
Lia K.
Very comfy right out of the box and look great. Was worried the upper material would be stiff/scratchy but it really isn’t. Laces are a little tight to begin with and not the easiest to adjust. I usually wear a women’s US 7.5 but have a narrower foot- I went by the size chart measurements (my foot measures 245mm) and bought a size 38- they are a perfect fit, even with a slightly thicker sock.
angie c.
A little stiff and the sizing is a little narrow for people with high arches and wider feet. But they are very well made and very comfortable. Well designed and attractive shoe that I know will last.
KAREN C.
Really smart looking shoes. Still breaking them in but they’re very comfy to wear! Thank you, love what you do
Lauren O.
Comfy and great look!
Nicola W.
These Ghost shoes by Orba are so comfortable from the first step. They also look great with any outfit and occasion. I wore them to my friends 50th with a little black dress.

I love my Orbas, and have been spreading the word about how they're 100% biodegradable. Not only that, Orba is taking responsibility for their disposal. We need all our manufacturers to take a whole of life approach to their products so thank you to Orba for helping to lead the way!
Hana F.
Super comfy - I've worn them every day since they arrived
Megan L.
Truth be told these are stiff, so it's hard to get them on and off with my arthritic fingers. I'm hoping the inners will become more flexible with age; might replace them otherwise. I wore them while playing bowls all Sunday afternoon and my feet weren't too bad afterwards. No blisters or pinching at all.
Lisa R.
These are super comfortable and lightweight. I can’t wait for more colours. Ka pai Team
Ceara B.
Great shoes! Ethical and stylish!
Christine G.
Super comfortable and they look good with dresses or jeans.
Jessica S.
Love them! So happy to be supporting such a great brand
Rosa F.
Great shoe, even for larger feet! I’m a 42 and they fitted me perfectly.
Hannah J.
I love these shoes! They are super comfy and look fire. Feel really good about them eventually breaking down in landfill, and durability isn't compromised because of it - mine have worn really well so far :) :)
Lauren H.
Such great shoes - incredibly comfortable and really stylish.
Lisa C.
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.

Helen
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
