"These are adorable sandals, but elegant as well. Right out of the box they are a little tight over my high arch, but I know that they will stretch enough to be perfect. The workmanship is good, and the thong has a nice chafe bumper. I find the zipper difficult to operate, but I think I will work with it and maybe put some bee's wax on it. I have not worn these shoes for a long period yet, as it is still 50 degrees here. I would recommend these lovely sandals except to those with wide feet. I can't wait to wear mine!"
