Detailed Review
The Sam Edelman Women's Gigi Flat Sandal is more than just another piece of footwear; it represents the merging of style with functionality. The luxurious leather material not only looks polished but also provides a comfortable fit that allows for prolonged wear. Ideal for casual outings or even dressed-up events, these sandals can elevate any outfit.
One of the standout features of the Gigi sandal is its design. With intricately placed straps, it balances support and breathability, making it perfect for summer activities. The flat sole complements the overall aesthetic while promoting a relaxed walking experience.
However, potential buyers should be aware that some users report needing a break-in period before achieving maximum comfort. Additionally, while the sandal prioritizes style, those seeking substantial arch support may want to consider alternatives with more cushioning.

The pearl sandals i bought are beautiful, comfortable and matching my size.My size is 40 EU, i took size 10 because i have a wider feet than normal.But I think I could go also with 9.5-9.In other sandals by Sam.E in 9.5 and 9.Their sandals are amazing and comfy, after these. i bought another 2 at the local store!Shipped to israel within 6 days! Good packaging.100% recommend!Thank you!!
Fashionable and comfortable
I love these sandals!! They have a simple, minimal design, but always look chic and classy. They go with most everything and can be worn casual to (not quite black tie) dressy! I don't think I'd want to walk in them all day, but they're actually pretty comfortable, especially considering there is no arch support. Their simple design is very flattering. I have almost no arch, yet they manage to make my feet look pretty! They can be fairly expensive, however, they are very well made and you can expect to wear them for years. I have bought several pairs over the last few years and they still look great and have held up nicely. I typically wear an 8 in most shoes, sometimes 8 1/2. I always need an 8 1/2 in these sandals. These do run just a bit small, so if you sometimes wear a larger size depending on the shoe, I would definitely go up a 1/2 size in these. Great sandals!! You will want more than 1 pair!!
They came sooner then expected. I was able to ware these sandals to a special event. They look so good too. Thank you.
I love these sandals.Cuteness /sexiness wise = 5 stars.These sandals ( for me) fit true to size.I am always a 6.5 in dressy shoes and sandals and a size 7 in runners.I ordered both the 6.5 and 7 and the lengths in both are true to size when measured against my other shoes .In all honesty, these are a narrow sandal, so that is the reason I have given them 4 stars.In my opinion , when people go up a 1/2 size I feel it's to get more width.I went with the 6.5 because length wise they are perfect.Minimal extra room at the toes and heels, but i like that look.I found the 7 had too much extra sandal.Overall, they are cute, sexy, fun, and great quality/well built.I would say stick with your most common size for lengthBut if u desire extra room at the toes and heel, or if you want more widthGo for a larger size.Personally, I am very happy with my regular size 6.5I just wish they were built in more of a normal width!
These shoes are adorable. I have a pair of Sam Edelman ballet flats and love them, so I decided to try the sandals for the summer. I looked at reviews and decided to order up a half size, as some people stated they run a little small. I would agree...they definitely run a little small and narrow in my opinion, but they fit great in a half size larger than my typical shoe size. They are very versatile and should be dressed up or down and the animal print is fun! They are super comfy and the sole is nicely padded, so they are soft when walking.
I love these shoes!! They do run small though. I'm always a 7 1/2 without fail, but in these shoes I needed an 8. The piece that goes through your toes is a bit close to the front, so my toes actually fall off the front edge of the shoe a bit when I walk (and then there's space at the back). I took them to my shoe repair guy and had him move it back just a tad. If you're long toe challenged like I am you might experience this problem but if not you will probably love them. I do! I purchased them in the animal print and I get compliments every time I wear them. They are super comfortable and I love how I can wear this casual summer sandal with my solid color sundresses and still feel kind of snazzy because of the animal print. Get a pair, you will love them!
Really cute shoes. They are easy to pair with jeans, shorts, or skirts. I got them in the cork color, which has a gold footbed and gold accents throughout the cork. the cork is holding up nicely after several wears. Sometimes in these kind of shoes the strap between the toe will slide around on the ankle strap, but this one seems very secure and hasn't slid. The ankle strap hasn't stretched much and I still have a tight fit. I have wide toes and the shoes look good on my foot.I normally wear a size 5.5 in shoes (Cole Haan, Sperry), but I sized up to a 6 in these shoes and they fit perfectly. I also wear a 6 in the Sam Edelman Petty boot.
