This is a pretty Summer/all Weather Sandal that is designed To Stay On the Foot. I have been an aficianado of T Strap type sandals for as long as I can recall and SEEM to have enough pairs that I would need no others. But times and seasons change and, of course, we Need New Things. My friends are always grumbling at me and saying that my sandals with no back look dangerous to them...look like some of them would trip me up as I am one of thouse souls who talks and is not necesassirly looking where she is going. Sooooo..
I had been shopping and made an exceeding sharp purchase of some dark pink jeans which were on sale...ONLY ONE DAY...well, being ON SALE were the key words and they had my size. So I scarfed up a pair. Oh my dears, though. I had no shoes to match...so after a day of shopping in the great outdoors, I retreated to my home, where shopping is easier and faster with more options: Amazon. I found these sandals on a Gold Box special and immediately hit the BUY button as they too were available in my size.
"What Luck, marveled my better half. ON SALE. You should have bought a pair in every color." That man, he was making a joke, of course.!
These came and I tried them right on. I wear a 7-7.5 and had ordered these in a 7.5 They fit me perfectly. I gave these shoes only four stars for a couple of reasons...One is that they are quite narrow. I have a narrow foot and they fit me snugly. If my foot were a bit wider, my little toe would hang over the side. So if your foot is not narrow, go up half a size, or get something else because these are a slim sandal. The other reason they got only 4 stars is a personal thing: I am not crazy about shoes with only a partial insole as these have. It keeps me from finding them as an "all day" sandal. That little cut off in sole irritates me. (The Princess and the Pea) effect.)

Otherwise these are quite nice. The heel portion is, exactly right, riding neigher too high, nor too low. The inside of the heel is lined with a soft, soft suede type leather, so it will not rub. The straps are also line with a soft leasther, though not suede that is the same as the insole. I think they run true to size, but if you tend to be between sizes, go for the higher size. I did and that worked perfectly. As noted previously, they do run on the slim side. The back of the shoe is decorated in laces made of the same pink leather as the sandal's straps, though much narrower. There are five laces on either side of the heel to make this perky sandal something to Look Upon Indeed!

I like it and would buy in other colors. I hope you will like it also...a simple sandal with a bit of decoration...in pink...for me. Hope you enjoy other colors also. Its a hit of a sandal at a great price, even if not gold box! And it stays on the foot, thanks to the softly padded heel. A keeper.
