I live here in the Philippines so whenever someone I know heads off to the US or comes back, I make sure I make a couple of shoe purchases.
It's hard sourcing my size here as the sizes only go up to 12 (at the rarest; I roughly fit anywhere between a 14-15 depending on the design) which makes purchasing in the US the better option.

This pair is light and very comfortable. Commensurate to it's price, this is a great buy. I broke it in in only half a day but it didn't feel like it was the first time I wore it. I use these most of the time in the office and I don't tire in them.

I am normally a size 7.5 so the size 8 should fit me with room to spare, however I could not even fit my foot in this sandal. I have an above average instep height so I could see having to wear the strap loose but that wasn't even an issue. There is hardly any room between the footbed and the top of the sandal. I literally could not slide my foot in the sandal, and even upon working my foot towards the end, my foot was in pain because of the pressure between the top and bottom. I also have a wider foot and my foot was pressing on the straps on both sides. I honestly don't know how they expected people to get this on. I gave it two stars because the construction was very nice and they would have been fantastic had I actually been able to wear them.
