Disappointment - I bought a couple of pairs of sandals for a recent trip to Las Vegas. I wanted something that would be comfortable for lots of walking, but that would look nice with skirts also. The design of this shoe is appealing—kind of dainty and sporty at the same time—but the fact is, the straps are too narrow to provide support. The foot bed and ankle strap fit, but the front strap gave too much room. Maybe the problem is that I had to choose from a 38 ("7.5-8") or a 39 ("8.5 to 9") and I couldn't just buy an 8.5, but these shoes flop around a bit when I lift my feet. The patent leather also rubs the skin, and by the end of just a few hours of walking, I had the beginnings of blisters on my little and big toes where the toe strap hit. (I had no problem with the ankle strap.) I also had to eventually try a removable fabric sole to prevent the patent foot bed from squeaking and rubbing. Over the past few weeks, I have tried to break them in, but it hasn't worked. They just don't fit well—too much room under the front strap. I also tried to give them to my mom, who has the same size foot, but she tested them out and also felt that they didn't hold to the foot very well, and therefore she didn't trust them to give support. I wish I hadn't spent the money on these shoes. I love the Born sandals I got from Logohoo a few months ago. I'd recommend that brand to anyone.
