These are beautiful and the craftmanship is top-notch. the leather is like butter & it has added built in arch support. I was very sad to have to return these lovely sandles. The FIT HOWEVER was not flattering on me as I have a wide foot and it gaped out of the cut-outs and left overhang on the sole. the size runs true but narrow. If you have a long slender foot, you will really love these EARTH sandles. The straps are somewhat difficult to buckle and you'll need to fumble with it to get it closed but the fit once it's on your foot is secure and well supported. I wanted to keep them but it was not to be.
