These sandals are very pleasing and classy once you open the box and surprisingly so because gold can be either cheap or classy.  These are definitely classy and well contracted and looked great whether throwing them on with jeans or a cute summer skirt and were dark enough that I can wear them early fall in the south when we are still having 80- 90 degree days plus being a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, they look great with my female football ensemble.  They are comfortable but lack cushion so I don't recommend a full day of work or shopping in them.  I wore them for a day out and noticed the lack of cushion made my back bother me later in the day.  Besides that, they are a lovely color, a nice style and extremely light if you are packing for a trip and want a versatile color to wear with almost anything.  I would definitely buy another pair if they showed up on sale again!
