These sandals are adorable. They are effortlessly stylish, look great with a lot of outfits, and are perfect for when flip flops are too casual and heels are too fancy (and it's too hot for flats/boots). When I tried them on, they felt a bit stiff, but it almost added to their appeal - a bit more supportive and substantial than a typical flat sandal. However, it wasn't until I wore them for about an hour that I realized how uncomfortable they are. I have slight blisters from wearing them for 3 hours, during most of which I was sitting down. If they were heels, that wouldn't be a big deal, but what the heck is the point of wearing flat sandals if you're still in pain?
Since I already committed to keeping them by wearing them for a day, I'm just hoping I can break them in and they won't hurt as much in the future. The material doesn't seem like it has a lot of give (again, this is also a positive - it is a well-made, high quality shoe), so I kind of think my only hope is developing calluses in the right places rather than hoping the shoes adjust to my feet.
Also, they do feel a bit bigger, but that doesn't cause much issue, and it's better than too small. I would still order your usual size. If you are on the cusp between sizes, order smaller. All in all, I do love how these shoes look, and think they will come in handy for summer parties.

I LOVE these shoes. I purchased them thinking I was going to wear them when needing a flat, stylish shoe for Summers. I ended up wearing these when sightseeing during a recent trip to India and they were perfect! They were surprisingly comfortable - even after long walks. I highly recommend them for a casual, comfortable, stylish shoe. Something to consider though is that they are very flat. I have flat feet so they work for me, but not sure how they will work if you have a high arch.

They're really pretty. I usually wear a 10 but found the 9.5 better for me. I haven't worn them out yet but I just wanted a pretty sandal ready for spring dresses and shorts that was fancy enough but not a heel.

Cute sandals, but too big. I need to go down a full size.

Too wide at ball of foot. Great style, quality and price. I normally wear a medium. This shoe is not for my foot. Sadly, returned item.

Although I had to exchange them for a half size smaller. I absolutely love the promptness from the Customer Service, given for the return. I loved the shoes, and fit,after I received the smaller size. I am very happy and I am a return customer because of it!

I needed fairly inexpensive sandals for a wedding that I knew I would wear again and would be comfy. Found a winner with these! They fit very true to size and looked great with my dress.

These are so cute, mostly comfy sandals. I tend to have a wide calf, these rub a little bit around where they hook. I didn't have any trouble fitting into them and I got a ton of compliments on them. Overall a good addition to my summer shoes.

These are cute and I do love the ankle detail and vamp cross. But just seemed to lack something that made me want to keep them. They are pretty comfortable but I can see what other reviewers were saying about them not being ideal for flats. Plus while the instep and lining are leather I believe the upper is man made so maybe that is why there is not as much give?

Super cute and though they were stiff when I bought them, breaking them in was easy and they became more comfortable.

I bought these in gold dazzle metallic and they are super cute! I can dress up almost any outfit with them. They are pretty comfortable however, do not plan on walking long distance while wearing them as there is minimal arch support. I love the style so much I am considering on purchasing another pair so I can also have them in black!

needed a sandal to wear w/capris and skirts. These are very cute and will work fine. Due to the lack of arch support, I'm not yet sure how long I would be able to walk in them, but for going out to dinner or a movie they will be great.

These are really cute. Have more style and look nicer than a lot of the wrap style sandal. Bought for my high school daughter to wear to a wedding rehearsal dinner. Fit true to size.

The style of the sandals overall is nice, but they were very large on my feet (I usually wear a 9 Wide). Also the back of the shoe went up just a little to far where it would be annoying to walk in these sandals for any long distance. So I will be sending these back.

I ordered size 7.5. The shoe and all corresponding packaging was labeled size 7.5, but these shoes were clearly size 9.5. They were a full inch longer than any size 7.5 I already own. Returning them.

Pretty but very stiff on the back. I would have gotten a nasty bluster in no time.
