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.

I love these sandals! They are sexy in an understated way. Makes your feet look pretty. Got the leopard print because of the bronze footbed and because it is made of real pony hair, unlike the other solid colors it comes in, which are faux leather. Love the color. Runs a size small, like most Sam Edelman shoes, so order a size up. Love them so much!

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!

Great sandal - I bought the zebra and, so far, I'm happy with the purchase (can wear with my blacks and my whites). Notes: I didn't realize from the picture they'd be a "hair"-y strap and what I thought was a gray sole is actually silver (don't plan on wearing these with gold). Random trivia - Kim Kardashian has them in leopard.

Just got this sandal and it is so pretty and comfy! I got the coral and it is a really pretty red...love, just as pictured. Glad I listened to everyone else and went up a size in a half. I got an 8.5. Also, these are very narrow (luckily I have skinny feet, and mine just fit) so if you do have wide feet these may not work. For the price, and cuteness factor definitely these are a do!

I got these in blanco and they are adorable! Casual enough to wear everyday, cute enough to dress-up a bit. Sizing does run a little small. I got the size 9 (I am usually 8.5/9) and there's not much sandal to be seen past my toes (but still fits fine!).

I must say that this purchase has been well worth it. I got the orange/nude shade and received a lot of compliments on it! The previous reviews re: purchasing a half size up were spot on - I am usually a size 9 but the 9 1/2 fit perfectly. Will definitely purchase other shades of this very comfortable shoe.

These are great! NIce padded sole, look expensive, colors as pictured. They are very comfortable for flat sandals- more so than most T-strap sandals I've bought. I have spent hours on my feet with little fatigue. I am usually a size 9 and ordered a 10 based on product reviews. It was a good call and they fit well. I would suggest ordering a half or whole size up, and to reconsider ordering if you have very wide feet. Mine are on the narrow side of average and they jussst fit on the shoe.

Awesome pair of sandals, this is my second pair (I got the cork pair from last year)and this year I got the orange and nude straps. These sandals have a simple design that go perfectly with almost any outfit. Absolutely gorgeous and well worth the sale price.. I basically live in them all spring/summer!

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!
