These sandals work great with everything from sundresses to shorts. Their caramel color is a great option to have from the usual dark brown or bone shoe. The laser-cut leather design is pretty, and gives me 3 season wear here in the Southwest. This style is right in-between casual and dressy, with its mid-height heel and streamlined foot bed. I'd say they are exactly true-to-size. Just as I would expect from Hush Puppies, they're really comfortable, and even have an air pillow for my heel to strike, something I really appreciate, since I have a history of plantar fasciitis. I would have given these sandals 5 stars, except that the top strap is just a bit loose -- o.k. for walking in, but I'd like to see it snugger.
