I'm not allowed to wear sneakers 'cause I look mannish in them & Fashionista, recommended I purchase these sandals in black.  Sandals fit well & are comfortable to walk about in, but I'm not sure it made me look more delicate.  When I entered the bank yesterday the male greeter asked me,  "Can I help you sir."  Fashionista was a witness to the greeting.

But I recommend these sandals as they are comfortable & I can walk in the woods, on gravel & in banks, in comfort wearing these sandals.

As I live in southern United States wearing sandals in winter is not a chilly experience.
