I have bought 10 pair of sandals so far and it isn't even Summer yet.  I truly did not need these because like I said I had gone a bit overboard but I am so glad I got these!  I ordered the Glitter Grey.  The top of this sandal sparkles.  The gems pick up the light at every angle.  They are well placed and secure.  The base of this sandal is very well done and it has a small heel.  The description says one inch but I'm guessing that takes into count the bed of the shoe too.  It was true to size but a little slippery under the front of the foot - they make the pads that stick to the shoe and that remedies this issue.  This sandal will look great with jeans, dresses, pants - it is very neutral for a metallic shoe.  If you only buy one pair of metallic sandals this Summer - these are worth considering up as your one pair.  They were very comfortable for a sandal and the thong portion didn't rub or bother my foot.  I haven't worn them more than around the house but they are comfortable to walk around in.  They are a bit pricier but they look expensive.  I've already talked my sister into buying a pair.
