I bought these for my daughter (21) who wanted a pair of gladiator sandals. My hope when I ordered these that they were not only cute but comfortable...AND SHE LOVES THEM! They have a great gladiator look on and she said she's very happy with them (patting my back ;-) she can wear them all day on campus. You can't go wrong with Ecco shoes and the price on amazon was the best around! FYI they fit true to size.
