I needed another pair of pewter low heel sandals and these little gems with the studded t-strap appealed to me while I was webshopping on a sunday night. They are made in genuine leather which means additional comfort, the fit is true to size for me, I have a 12 W and this sandals does not show large on the foot. They are comfy to walk for longer times. The manufacturing quality is above average which will make me turn to California Magdesians again for other shoes or boots.
