I really love this sandal.  I saw someone wearing it when I was out one day and asked where they got it.  I would rarely ask someone where they got their shoes so this in itself says a lot about the design.  I will say that I am paler than the other person and the shoe did look better on her.  It really offset her tan.  I found it to be a very comfortable shoe and the straps are adjustible which is nice.  These can be dressed up or dressed down.  I'm very happy with the purchase.
