Detailed Review
This sandal shines particularly in terms of versatility. Whether you’re dressing up for a brunch date or keeping it casual at a beach outing, the CL by Chinese Laundry Wedge Sandal fits the bill beautifully. The peep toe design reveals just the right amount of skin, making it an excellent option for warmer days.
Comfort-wise, the padded footbed provides adequate support, allowing you to walk comfortably without feeling fatigued. However, some users have noted that the sandals may require a short break-in period. The ankle strap is adjustable, accommodating different ankle sizes while ensuring security and preventing slippage.
From a durability perspective, the synthetic sole is resilient enough for regular wear, although it’s advisable to avoid exposure to excessive moisture since these sandals are not water-resistant. Despite this minor limitation, their lightweight nature combined with the attractive jute detailing makes them a worthwhile addition to any wardrobe.

User Reviews
Loved the comfort of the shoe! Price was very reasonable. I wish they would have had the orange in my size. I would have gotten it too!
I have a lemon dress and wanted shoes to match. The color was spot on! I normally wear a size 8 and have narrow to med width feet with small ankles so had to reorder a 1/2 size smaller. Now they fit perfect. They are comfortable. Hope this helps 😊
These shoes are absolutely beautiful (I bought nude)! I didn’t expect to love them as much as I do. This was the first time I have ordered shoes online and I was pretty skeptical. They are true to size and incredibly comfortable!
The shoe is very cute. The sole is comfortable. My only issue may just be the way my body works. I got a blister on ankles of the shoes.
Great shoes!!
I bought these shoes for a bridal tea party. They came on time nicely wrapped in box. I’m a big girl 290 lbs. I can’t wear heels but wedges are life savers. They didn’t make my feet hurt. Walked for 6 hours in them and used them for a concert. I’m definitely buying a pair in black !!! Just get your normal size. I don’t have wide feet so they are ok for me. If you have wide feet I wouldn’t suggest.
Previous experience with this brand running very small led me to order a half size larger but this particular shoe ran very large. I recently ordered an almost identical style from this brand and my normal size was very short and straps were too tight to get all the way onto my foot. This particular shoe was over half an inch too long and the straps were very large. The ankle strap was very loose even on the tightest hole. The strap across the top of the foot didn't even touch the top of my foot. They flopped with I walked. The reviews were mostly positive with some stating the shoe ran big and some said it ran small. I usually wear a 9 and occasionally a half size larger or smaller depending on the particular brand and shoe itself. But I feel that this shoe runs a little large. It is a great looking shoe and exactly the style and color I wanted..
Perfect fit, super comfortable, AND EVEN MORE CUTE! I can't believe I waited so long to get these. I got so many compliments on my yellow shoes, and I felt great after wearing them all day.
