I ordered these on impulse because I love the shape and design. They arrived today. I got the Stonesuede (a very pretty color)and they are beautiful.  I love the look on my foot and can tell they will be great for long walks around the city. The footbed is nicely cushioned and the straps are not too tight. There is nice give as you step. The only thing I will criticize, and the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, is that the back is cut a tad bit low and it feels almost as if it wants to slip off. It feels annoying at first, but I figure I will get used to that as I wear them. I am usually between an 8 and 8.5M and I ordered the 8.5.  The 8 would have been too short.  I actually think the black is prettier, but I already own nice black sandals and just couldn't justify the cost. The Stone is a great neutral and can be worn with everything. Will spray with suede protector before I wear them and hope it doesn't darken them too much.
