5.0 out of 5 stars Seem to run a half-size small May 9, 2011

By Leanne TOP 100 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

I pretty much always wear a 7.5 in regular shoes and sandals, but I had read a few reviews that said that these run a bit small, so I ordered both a 7.5 and an 8. While the size 7.5 fit alright, my toes hung over the front end a bit. The size 8 fit well and didn't have that problem, so I decided to stick with the 8's. The adjustable strap in the back makes them nice and secure, and they fit really well.

Although the price on these seems high compared to comparable flat-sandal styles, these have a cushioned foot bed that make them much more comfortable than other sandals I have tried on. I also bought the leopard ones, and they are absolutely adorable! I know I'll get a lot of use out of these this summer since the pattern really goes with everything and is versatile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute sandals at great price February 4, 2013

Color Name:Black Snake| Size Name:10 B(M) US|Amazon Verified Purchase

I see others have commented on the size being a half size too small. I did NOT find this to be the case. I've worn a size 10 for years and ordered a size 10. My feet do not hang over the front, back, or sides. They are a perfect fit. They are a great quality sandal with a comfortable foot bed. I'm looking forward to summer so that I can wear them.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not enough shoe... August 9, 2011

By AnnieP37

Color Name:Black Leather|Size Name:8 B(M) US

I wanted this shoe to work out so badly! I had seen many celebrities wear this sandal and it is by far one of the simplest and classic sandals I've seen lately. However when I got it in the mail, it was just too little shoe and too much foot. I asked my boyfriend for his opinion, and he said it just makes my foot look like it's wearing a thong underwear. Given that I had bought the black color, maybe if I had tried white or something else it may have looked a little less warrior/underwear like but I didn't bother trying another color and just sent them back.

Also, I had read reviews and everyone was saying to size up. Normally I wear a 7.5 in everything, but I went up to an 8 per the reviewers' advice. When I got them the 8 was way to big and the 7.5 would have been better in the end.

Nevertheless! The footbed is cushy and soft and provides MORE CUSHION THSN ANY OTHER FLAT SANDAL on the market!!!
So if you're willing to put up with the underwear/warrior princess look, these shoes would be great and comfy and a good buy!

I'd definitely say DON'T BUY BLACK, since it just looks awkward on the foot. Go for white or something else.

Hope you all have better luck than I did!

4.0 out of 5 stars Incorrect Size Chart March 25, 2011

By Ms Carla

Amazon Verified Purchase

Yes, these shoes are true to size but DO NOT GO BY THE CM AND INCH MEASUREMENTS SUPPLIED BY AMAZON!!!

If you are an international buyer (im from Australia) beware! Although i spent hours comparing information via GOOGLE regarding feet measurements vs international sizing, i still ended up with a pair of shoes that were too too big for me. Unfortunately, Amazon was unable to supply me with the correct info, so i ordered 24.1 cm (i was advised to trust the chart by a Amazon Consultant) which was a size 8US and it turned out to be 26.1 cm long - 2 whole cm bigger than my foot. They were no use to me.

So i suggest if you are usually a size 6.5-7AU then stick to a 6.5-7US. Hope this info helps all you Aussies out there!

In saying that, these slides are GORGEOUS!!

PS: Amazon's staff was very helpful and understanding and this matter was resolved in no time. I will be back!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cork version is very comfortable March 29, 2012

By k_roo22

Color Name:Natural Cork| Size Name:8.5 B(M) US|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was concerned about the negative reviews that mentioned the part of the sandal in between your toes was uncomfortable and painful. At least in the cork version I can comment that it felt uncomfortable for about the first 10 mins I wore the shoes and then it seemed to break right in. I'm not sure if this is because of the cork or if all versions of this shoe will do this. These sandals do have a skinny footbed so beware if you have wide feet... this is normal for all S.E. shoes. Anyway, I do love mine and know that I'll wear the heck out of them this summer!!

4.0 out of 5 stars comfortable sandal February 26, 2012

By Lily M.

Color Name:Whiskey| Size Name:7 B(M) US|Amazon Verified Purchase

i got them in whiskey on a size 7 and love them, I usually wear between a 6.5 and a 7, 6.5 would've been too small.
My only complaint is that amazon sent me a defective shoe, it has a little piece of the colored leather missing on top; it shows cause there's not much leather to begin with. I couldn't send them back because it would have been costly for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love them! May 23, 2011

By LBT

Color Name:Black Boa Print| Size Name:7.5 B(M) US|Amazon Verified Purchase

I purchased the black boa print and love the material of these shoes. When I first tried them on (right out of the box) the sole seemed a little sticky...but when I put them on the next day to wear them I didn't notice that anymore. I have already worn these a ton and have only had them a month. They are really comfortable for flat sandals. The straps don't rub my feet at all. I think I'm going to purchase them soon in another color! I've tried on cheaper versions in other stores..but I'm really glad I purchased these. The quality is great! I'm excited about wearing them a lot this summer!

4.0 out of 5 stars Super cute! April 13, 2010

By Hmae

Amazon Verified Purchase

These sandals are so cute....when i saw them I knew I had to have them! I got them in black snake skin print.It took forever for them to get here and when they did I was a little disappointed they are narrow and I have average width feet(my feet hang over the sides a bit when I walk). I bought a 10 (I am usually around a 9.5 or 10) and i have no extra room the fit is just right but seem to run small. but they are sooo cute and I LOVE them so much I am keeping them I can over look the fact that my foot hangs over a little(barely noticeable)amount.

Summer just got a little bit hotter and a whole lot easier. The textured thong upper consists of just a few well-placed straps over the foot and around the ankle. Add to that a flat sole and you'll be slipping into this at every oppportunity.
