User Reviews
Love these sandals so very much! I bought another pair in a different color. If you're in between sizes for me at least I wish I would have went down instead of up. They were a little baggy. The other pair I ordered I went down the half size and they were perfect. They don't have much support if it's too big and your ankles wobble. Very comfortable and stylish shoe and get so many compliments when I wear them. I wear them in the summer spring and fall even. They go perfectly with casual dresses and capris or shorts. Definitely recommend these shoes
I read reviews stating you should order a half size up for length, and I'd say that advice is spot on. I usually wear between a 7.5 and an 8, but usually an 8. I ordered the Blush Rancher Canvas/Dyecut Pu in an 8.5 and they fit well. Ever so slightly wide, but I know that if I had ordered an 8, they wouldn't have fit at all length wise. They weren't sloppy or look too big at all. It was just a bit loose as I have narrower feet and thinner ankles. I was on my feet or walking around nonstop all day, even played laser tag with my kids in these, and they were comfortable and stable. I have long toes, and the canvas came to about halfway down my toes. (I was worried the canvas wouldn't come down far enough making it look like I cut the front of some old sneakers off, but thankfully they looked great.) The cut out on the side helps give it some air. I briefly walked my dog in these and when we got to the gravel section of our walk, the stones did get in and were more difficult to shake out than normal, but honestly, they aren't really made to be walking outdoors like that. I wouldn't recommend these for walking on the beach or anything crazy. They are a nice, classy but casual shoe that you can leisurely walk around in all day. I think they will look even better as they get more dirty or worn in looking.
I love these shoes . They do wear out on the bottom since they are so thin but they go with everything. I have them in many colors . True to size
This sandal offers no support but looks cute. It doesn't have any cushion like a Rock Port it's almost like you're walking bare footed. It's not uncomfortable. As for durability the bottom material on the sandal is very thin and has worn away almost immediately after purchasing them; but I still wear them on occasion.
These fit so nicely and are very comfortable. I have purchased 3 pairs.
I love the style and color of the sandals. They're very easy to wear and I love that they zip up to close. They're also very comfortable. And you can wear them all day. You can wear them with dresses, but they're also really nice with a pair of jeans too.
These are sooooo cute and comfy however they do run wide!
this is my second pair because they are so cute and comfortable!
