I had purchased a pair from a boutique a year ago and was really impressed by the comfort and lightness of the sandal.  I had purchased Okabashi sandals in the past, but after wearing throughout the day found them to be too heavy even though I liked the feel of the sandal.  Grandco heels are lighter and not as dense as the Okabashi.  These are one of my favorite style of sandals and purchased 3 pairs on Amazon and am very pleased.  I am a sandal freak anyway, but these can be dressy and/or casual.  I also think the different decorations make these fun and look very pretty than just plain sandals.
