This sandals is a must have if you are a shoe diva!  It is beautiful and well constructed yet provides comfort. However, the sizing is a 'little' off.  What is size 40 which is a size 9 fits like an 8 1/2.  In addition, the straps for closure could have been longer therefore if you do not have thin ankles you may have a problem.  I wear 8 1/2 - 9 and could have fitted the size 10 as the size 9 I bought was too much of an exact fit - my feet are a normal medium.  Besides that, this sandals is just oh sooooo BEAUTIFUL you will be the envy of your girl friends.
