These are beautiful sandals - they make your feet look amazing.  Very well made, the soles are bendy and nicely cushioned.  They seem like they would be ideal for strolling around the Italian countryside... if only my feet were different.  The back strap was just too loose.  Even on the tightest setting it kept slipping down the back of my heel.  Also, they are very narrow.  I have size 9M feet, never have had an issue with shoes being narrow before.  These were not so narrow that they were rubbing anywhere, but they seemed like they would have the tendency to become uncomfortable if my feet were swollen at the end of the day.  I wanted to love them, but they just didn't fit for what I needed them for - a trusty vacation shoe that I could depend on for long days of walking around.
