This shoe is so comfortable and looks cute as well.My foot is on the wide size of a medium width and sometimes a shoe with anything across the top is too binding. This leather is soft and felt comfortable as soon as I put it on. It looks well made in person, and I wish that it came in more colors

I typically wear an 8.5 N and someyimes a 9 N in certain brands like Vaneli and Munro. They were sold out of the Platino in 9 N so I took a chance with 8.5 N and, alas, they are indeed too short and must go back. If you have never worn this sandal, let me assure you that they are wonderful! I have worn this style for years and they are very comfortable. The heel is the perfect height for work or play. Occasionally, when I have purchased them in a store like Marmi's, I have found the N to be not quite narrow enough and have instead worn the 9 slim. The widths seem to vary from year to year, which is why I took a chance, hoping the 8.5 N would fit me. If you are in-between sizes, go up a half size. If they feel really snug at first, know that the leather will give a little as you wear them

Beautiful shoes. I hate wearing heels and these are perfect and comfortable. The leather is gorgeous. Got the platino color which is a mix of gold and silver. Stunning. I don't think I have narrow feet and these fit perfectly. After reading reviews about them being narrow I was concerned needlessly. They alsp cover a bunion I have. Just a note that I saw these on another site and the sizing was very off. I took these in a 7 1/2, my usual size.

Amazingly comfortable and *stable* mule. And quiet--this shoe stays on my foot when I walk, doesn't drop down and clack against the floor. The bronze polang (what's a polang anyway?) has a subtle gold shimmer that doesn't show in the photos.

It took me three tries to get the sizing right on these. First I chose 7.5. Too tight but length was good. Then I tried 7.5 wide which was not much better. Then I tried an 8. The 8 worked and though it is a tad long I think it looks OK. These sandals are feminine, edgy, and comfortable.

I ordered the black stripe and it is a very soft painted leather. My girlfriend saw them on me and ordered the exact pair the same day. It is a very cute, comfortable shoe. I ordered size 9W to acccommodate bunions and the fit is perfect. Comfortable to walk in, stays on my feet, no flapping and because of the coloring it goes with almost everything. A great situation all around. Only one concern and that involves the paint. I often rub my feet at the bunion spot when I walk. This is causing the paint to rub off as well. I may need to buy some colorful paint and do periodic touch up. Maybe should have gone with a plain leather.

Beautiful shoe. I can't wear it because the heel is too high, but someone who can wear heels will find it both gorgeous and comfortable.

Love these shoes. I just purchased these shoes in black, size 8, my normal size, and could kick myself for not purchasing them sooner. The leather is so soft and the heel is perfect. I can't wait to wear them. I'm definitely buying another pair, but just can't decide which color.

This shoe is very simple, yet so elegant. The leather is very soft, the heel height was perfect for me. However, the shoe is very narrow.....I hated to, but had to return.

Love the style. I have the best ck with Vaneli shoes because they run narrow. Great dress shoe and nice heel height.

I absolutely love these! I purchased these shoes several years ago. Then Vaneli stopped producing them. Was I disappointed. I purchase the black last year and am so happy. I have narrow feet.

These shoes are pretty out of the box, but warning.. they are VERY narrow and will not fit if you have a wide foot. I had trouble sliding my foot into the material and while it may have stretched over time, they were too narrow to be comfortable. Also, the toe hole is very small and my toe would not slide in. I'm sure they're okay if you have a narrow foot, such a shame, have to return.

Beautiful, comfortable and classy! What else could you possibly want. You can wear them dressy or casual. I love Vanelli shoes, but this style is my favorite .

These are great shoes! It is hard to find truly narrow shoes. Many shoes claim to be narrow but fit like a medium. It is nice to find dress shoes that I can walk in which look good and stay on.

The Vaneli Melea is my all time favorite shoe. I must have 15 pairs. This color (denim) is good for jeans or dresses. I like that I put the shoe on and it feels like I have been wearing them forever. No break in time needed. I cannot wear thongs so the toe ring style works for me. I hope this shoe comes back in more colors!

I absolutely love these shoes. They are perfect for day and night. They are comfortable and fit properly all over. I have crazy narrow feet so I like the the toe strap that keeps my foot from sliding out the front of the shoe.
