I saw these sandals in a boutique in New Orleans and fell in love with them.  I decided to wait to get them and then came home and looked elsewhere.  Couldn't find these nor anything I liked better so I ordered them.  I love them.  They are so comfortable.  I have many issues with my feet and these are still comfy.  I wore them brand new on a trip to Napa and had no issues with them.  Get lots of compliments for them too!  Not a big time shoe girl but these are one of my favs!  No regrets with this purchase!!!
