"I needed a sexy gold sandal, I bought these based on the glowing reviews. I must say all the reviews are true. These shoes are super comfortable, super easy to walk on, perfectly tight around the ankles (I have skinny legs). The strap across the toes is a bit lose but I have narrow feet and the tight straps around the ankles compensate for it. If you fall in between sizes like I do, I am an 8 - 8 1/2, order on the larger end. I got them in both sizes and 8 1/2 is a perfect fit."
