I got these shoes for my mother as a Valentine's day present. It shipped faster then expected so I gave it to her yesterday. She has been a fan of the workmanship and comfort provided Bass and she loved the sandals! She found them very comfortable. Usually she's a 7M but she's glad I bought it in 7W. I bought the Beaconhill loafer for myself and we have to agree that the quality of the leather is no longer as exemplary as before. My mother said that when Bass shoes were made in Brazil, the leather was better. Now that these shoes are made in China, the quality seems to have suffered.
