The hardest part of packing for a trip (for me) is deciding which of my 300 pairs of shoes to leave behind.  Problem solved...leave them ALL behind and pack these!  The leather is soft and supple, giving a luxurious look and feel to these sandals.  There is enough of a heel to be dressy (in a vacation kind of way) but these babies also look great with shorts, a beach dress, jeans or capri pants.  Every woman I have traveled with has asked me where I got my shoes.  I tell them, "Amazon!"  I have these in 3 colors.  I wish they had red!
