I needed a pair of sandals for work that had a closed toe, but I needed comfort and durability. I wanted a pair that would also look good with summer dresses. These fit the bill! They are supportive, comfortable and stylish. I've had several compliments on them. I took the advice of one of the reviews and ordered a half size up. I have issues with my feet, since I have bunions, but my feet aren't wide, so ordering wide shoes makes them fit poorly in the heel. I think these will last me several summer seasons and I would definitely order this brand again.
