I would really, really, really like to keep these shoes. They are light as air, and the espadrille footbed is extremely comfortable to walk on. Not scratchy or rough as rope can sometimes be. With the well-placed toe strap and ankle straps, I imagine walking around for a whole day would be a breeze. The Terracotta color is a yellowish-nude with an antiqued patina, making for a true neutral summer sandal that pairs with with linen trousers, skirts, or shorts.

Downside and why they lost one star: they seem to run really big. I'm almost always a 7.5 and often a 7.5 wide, but the 7.5 in these leaves some gaps between the side straps and my foot. Trying a 7 and crossing my fingers for a fit.
