Really cute pair of shoes and goes so well with a Western/Aztec handbag I have. Because there was no 6.5 and I'd read the other reviews, I decided to size up instead of down. I normally wear a wide width because of my fairly wide forefoot. I was sort of leary about ordering these since they are noted as a B width (which would have been too narrow) but found them to fit kind of between B and C which was very good for me. I wore Sbicca shoes from Joseph's back in my 20's and loved the brand. So, I'm sure the nostalgia had something to do with placing this order. I purchased the natural/multi and the black threading is a shiny material while the earth colors are matte. It makes a pretty combination. I think the patterned outer portion of the straps are made of a paper type material such as many of today's sun hats. Not only cute but comfortable and I'm quite pleased with my purchase. More than worth the price I paid.
