I purchased these after having them in the my shopping cart for a while when they finally went further on sale (I got the brown for $22.84 but now they are even cheaper). I was so excited to get them because the majority of reviewers comments people were very positive. But unfortunately I was disappointed when they arrived because the wedge was very high (and I wear 3 to 4 inch heels all the time with no problem) and my feet slipped no matter how tight I tighten the straps. I tried walking around my house but it was very uncomfortable and I can't imagine wearing these for long periods of time. They ARE beautiful and true to size, but they do not work for me. Will return these and try another gladiator sandal from another company. Amazon is always very quick with refunds and I appreciate that!
