I took a chance and purchased these without obviously trying them on. I'm so glad I did because these sandals are true-to-fit, very comfortable and stylish. They feature a very pretty genuine leather top and well, I'm not exactly sure what the wedge is made of but I will say that the entire sandal is extremely light-weight. It's a very attractive caramel-brown color and will go with anything from jeans to skirts. It's too soon to see how long they will last but for the price ($28!), I would get them in more than one color because they are truly worth it. A great brand and a great sandal!
