Sadly, I would have liked these sandals a lot more if I had not been led down the wrong path regarding their size.  Since I am a perfect Size 8-1/2 and these sandals do not come in half sizes, I went by others' reviews and also the product description itself that said to purchase them in a size larger - thus, I purchased a Size 9 and instead of exchanging them for a Size 8 as I should have done, I went ahead and started wearing them - again, acting on the advice of other reviewers who said they were better if a little loose.  Well, they are obviously too large for me and do not feel comfortable and look funny on my feet as they stick out about an inch behind my heels! Since I have already worn them I cannot exchange them for a smaller size so am stuck with them.  (I do however, think they are good quality sandals and would look great if they were the right size!) Is there anyone out there who would like to purchase a slightly used pair of brown Size 9s?
