Bought these for a Bahamas cruise and got SO many compliments on how pretty they are! As a bonus, easy to pack too especially since the "flower" has a snap so can be removed and packed more carefully than the sandal.  The reservation has to do with the patent leather footrest part. If it's hot and humid (read: Bahamas) and your feet get a little moist the sandal squeaks when you walk. If its real bad then your feet sort of slide.  I tried powdering but that only lasted a few minutes. Wear them for "show", not for walking around is the moral of this story I think.
