User Reviews
I hunted for a pair of leather, quality, comfortable sandals for weeks before finding these. I knew the brand but had never worn before, and these are my new go to over Birkenstocks. I love that they can be dressed up or down, I wore them for 20 days through Portugal on cobblestone hills, castles, nature walks and out to nice dinners. They fit every scenario and had zero break in period. Comfy from day one! Chose these over the slide on and platform versions due to weight and comfort.. I forget I’m wearing these they’re so great! Have held up very well too!Only thing to note is they do run slightly large. I got a ten, but usually would get a 9.5 but it wasn’t an option. They fit fine, and can always add another hole on the strap. If you have super narrow feet these might not work. They’re a bit bulky around the edges compared to other sandals, kind of have a bumper around them but that does come in handy on uneven surfaces so you don’t trip or stub your toes. Overall an absolute love and will buy them again
I bought this for a tour through France, Spain, and Portugal. Walked at least 15k steps a day. Over cobblestone streets, uneven streets, metros, and a whole lot of stairs. I bought them a few days before I left and had no break in period to adjust. They were fantastic. No blisters, no ouchy rubbing, no raw areas, no rubbing weird on the bottom of my feet. They held up great and were comfortable the entire trip. And after all that, they still look great! Highly recommend!
They are super nice and very comfortable!!! As other reviews said the shoe is shaped weird!! It’s like the feet are going an opposite direction as the shoe. Weird! They are very slippery when get a bit wet, which I wasn’t used too with a Chaco, but totally get it with these! The color isn’t my favorite, but overall it’s a decent shoe!
it looks great, i weared it since the moment i received, the leather is so soft, no blister o red spots.
I wanted to love these so much. The color is just as pictured. These looked SO bulky on my feet, I felt ridiculous. But even if I could get past that, the back strap isn’t adjustable, and it didn’t fit properly. The support was great but it doesn’t matter if my foot keeps slipping out of the shoe.
Comfortable but really chunky couldn’t dress them up at all
Very wide and too big. Not what I was expecting from this brand.
I LOVE these shoes!! I bought them to replace my Birkenstocks and I have no regrets. They are very comfortable, I wore them on a cruise which involved A LOT of walking and my feet didn’t hurt at all! They work for casual wear but I also feel like I can dress them up! Only issue I’ve had is they rub your feet some if they get wet.
