"It's hard to find a pretty blue sandal that isn't too high. Love these shoes - it's true, tho, that the straps get uncomfortable after a few hours of wear... yet the rest of the shoe is very comfortable. Also, the first pair I bought had to be sent back after wearing only twice because a jewell broke in two and half of it got lost. That is the only reason I am not giving the product the highest rating.The customer service was excellent when I called to have them replaced. Hopefully it won't happen to the new pair!"
