I picked up a pair of these at a place called Boston Store in WI. While on travel, I needed a summer dress shoe in a pinch. I only paid $49.99 and got the SAND color. I can't relate to the reviews of 1 star on this site, but everyone has different feet. The leather is durable, soft and high quality. I got a 10 - true to size, and to be honest, I never take these things off. The arch slight hits my foot perfectly and the height is ideal, although it claims 1.5" heel (I measured it and it's about 2.5") so that they look stylish. They offer a good lift and I wear these sandals with mid-length summer sun dresses (for hours) - including heavy walk-about. I walk on a large campus and sometimes trek 1-3 miles, daily. Came on here to order another pair - but the cost is close to double. I will search the web. These babies are keepers!
