"was searching for the perfect shoe to flatter my short legs and hold in my flat, wide feet. this is it! i've seriously tried on 30 other shoes from five other places before finding these. the leather is so soft and supple and the light brown color is the perfect neutral. the straps on the top of the foot are flattering, and the piece across the back holds my foot in place. with flat feet, it's been a pain to find good sandals where the sides of my feet don't run over the side of the shoe, but it's a non-issue here. these are keepers. they'll be my go-to shoes for all of my summer trips!"
