I bought three new pairs of sandals to wear to work this summer as all of my old ones died pretty much at the same time. Of the three, these are my favorites. I have the brown and I have found it so versatile. I'd say they run true to size. In fact, I think maybe they've stretched a little across the metatarsal and I wish they hadn't. I was a little worried about the ankle strap being a problem--I've had issues with buckles on my ankles in the past--but it definitely isn't. They are light as a feather. I just wish I'd bought the black as well rather than the other ones I did buy. These are by far more comfortable and I think nicer looking, too.
