User Reviews
This sandal was exactly what I wanted. Fit perfectly. Very comfortable. Looks great on your feet!
I love these shoes. I wore them all night dancing at a wedding and my feet looked great and comfortable at the same time. Highly recommend.
Might cut off the strap tbh 😂 I prefer it strapless. For Mules I always go up half a size so that there’s room for slippage.I’m usually a 8-8.5 and I went to a 9. Fits perfect! Because of the chunky heel, it seems super comfortable - the toe might rub a bit.I’ll update my review if they kill my feet!
Cute, light weight, comfortable height. I’d like to love these more. I like these, I’m debating if I’ll keep them or not, but I’m not fully sold.I was hoping for more of a tan/nude or like a lighter camel color. But these are more of a light beige color. Not terrible but not fully what I was expecting. I think I would’ve loved black more but this color was on sale when I ordered. I ordered my normal heel size 7.5 and I feel like they fit as expected maybe a smidge tight. Toe area is a little tight in general just given the style. But the straps rubbing on the top of my big toe when I walk and the more I walk the more it feels like I’ll end up with a blister or cut on the top of my toe. I am on the last buckle hole though and I’d say I have skinny ankles so maybe I should’ve ordered an 8. Might have to walk around the house a few more times to decide if I’ll keep these or not.
Very comfortable love the color
I’m confused with this situation. I wanted to message the seller but I cannot find the location where to do so. As seen by the images the buckle strap is not evenly added. One shoe fits comfortably and the other is squeezing tight.
Well, I would have liked to own these, but the fit is way off. Originally, I bought my standard size 7 - I know SM can run small, but I own several pairs of SM shoes from boots to heels to sandals to sneakers and all fit in size 7. Well, they came, were very comfy, but my whole dang big toe hung off the end. I hoped to exchange for a 7.5, but they were out of stock, so decided to take my chances with an 8 b/c they were truly so dang small. The 8s came; I took one out of the box. The length was good; however the upper was now a bit loose. I figured it would be ok - although the 7.5 would probably have fit better, I could make these work. However, when I took the other shoe out of the box, that one was a size 9 - I'd been shipped 2 different shoes! I figure at this point, they're not meant to be. If the 7.5 comes back in stock, maybe I'll try again. They are very cute and the leather is very soft. If you have narrow feet, be aware - size up for the length but the upper will be a touch loose.
I got these as going out shoes that needed to be COMFORTABLE. The heel strap is surprisingly comfortable, and I have had no issues with the soles/bottoms of my feet (which is a first for me when breaking shoes in). Only thing I wasn't prepared for was the pressure the leather puts on the tops of my toes. I had thought they were broken in so on a night testing long term comfort, I ended up getting home with the tops of my toes bloodied/blistered. I still love them and am working on getting the toe portion broken in because they are otherwise AMAZING, but be prepared for the toes hurting at first.
