Badgley Mischka knows what they are doing. I loved the look online. Even when I opened the box I thought the height of the heel was pretty good for a sandal. BUT the satin color was much more pale then I expected, and the one part ( the part I wanted to show) that looks like metallic rose gold is covered by your foot, so they just look like wedding sandals, which was not the occasion I was looking for. Expensive for the lack of rose gold being the focus. Nice but I returned. Great quick shipping. Just style not for me.
