These are amazing sandals. The first time around I ignored the other reviews and just followed the size chart, which was big mistake and the sandals were way too big (surprise, surprise). I usually wear a US women's size 9 in the regular width so I went with size 40M, which I then exchanged for a size 39M. Luckily it was really easy (and free!) to return these with amazon! After returning for a smaller size, I absolutely love them. The colors, the materials, and the style make this one gorgeous and extremely comfortable pair of sandals. These shoes are also very versatile as you can wear them for anything really and they look and feel great. The style even makes them a great sandal for dressier occasions. They are now my go to spring/summer/fall shoes and I have my eye on another pair in the mocha color.I have a thing for comfortable, properly fitting, and supportive shoes. I also believe that shoes can be overly supportive and can cause the muscles in your feet to weaken and work improperly, which leads to all sorts of problems. Which is why I like rotate through and wear different types of shoes (disclaimer: I also just love quality shoes), in addition to spending a decent amount of time barefoot. Doing this not only makes the muscles in my feet adapt and work hard, keeping them strong, but it helps my shoes last a lot longer. With these shoes though, I just want to wear them all day, every day, that's how comfortable they are. Right out of the box they felt great, no adjustment period necessary, and have they become more comfortable every time I wear them. Everyone is different though and if they don't feel great right away I would encourage you not to give up, but to make sure they are the right size and that straps are as tight as they can (reasonably) be. If uncomfortable, wearing them for small time periods at first can help as it allows your feet to adjust. As your feet adjust and the shoe molds to your foot you may just find that these are like nirvana in sandal form!
I liked this shoe; it’s exceptionally comfortable — completely flat with excellent arch support — and looks nice.
I just love these shoes. They are comfortable enough to go for walks during lunch at work although I try not to so they will last. The support is just right for my foot.
I love the look of the shoes! The patent leather makes them look dressy. I usually wear a 9.5 or 10 and got a 10 in these and it was the right size choice. They were a bit snug in the toe area but I think that will “give” the more I wear them. I primarily bought these for concert performances where I am on my feet for hours at a time. I just came off several performances and am glad I bought these shoes. I inserted my used Brooks athletic insoles on top of the insoles already in the shoes (may have contributed to the snug toes, BTW?) because I wanted and needed more cushion. I have high arches; I’d say these have minimal arch support. But with the extra insoles, these work for me, and I think it’s a very handsome shoe, dressy but can also pass for casual.
I have plantar fasciitis and am on my feet a lot with my work. I have to wear dress shoes at work. These are very comfortable and durable. My feet are not killing my at the end of the day wearing these.
I love these shoes! They are very tight when first put on but they become very comfortable after about ten minutes- I wear them often.
