Cute and inexpensive
" I was looking for something cute and inexpensive to wear on an upcoming Caribbean cruise... not too casual but not too dressy. I think this will fit the bill perfectly. I haven't worn them out yet, but the footbed seems surprisingly comfortable. They don't look too much like gladiator sandals (which I hate in flat sandals) and the heel strap is wonderful for wearing this shoe on the ship and in the port towns. I purchased this in brown as it will go perfectly with many of the outfits I have planned for the week. Fits true to size.

I had my eye on these for a while
" I already own a pair of Tahari sandals and I love how they fit. When I saw these, I was drawn to them for some reason. I wanted the black because I figured the nude would match my skin color too much. I've tried on nude colored shoes before and I don't like how they look. When these shoes finally went on clearance last week in black, I snapped them right up. I was so happy they'd been discounted.
When I received them in the mail, I was a little surprised. The online description says "woven platform and wedge". I was expecting some sort of natural material similar to raffia, especially since the pictures looked as if that's what it was. But that's not at all what I received. The wedge is covered in fabric that looks like canvas. Not what I expected, but for the price I'm keeping them. I would not have paid the regular price for these because I don't think it looks as good with a canvas fabric.
As for the fit, they are perfect. At first they were a bit strange because when I laced them up my heels were hanging off the back while I had space up front at the toes. I then realized I had laced them too tightly which were preventing my feet from properly sitting on the shoe (I have very high arches). Once I loosened them up, they fit like a glove.

I've been eyeing these
" I've had my eye on these shoes for a while and finally decided to buy them with some rewards certificates. I was torn between the grey and the brown, but finally decided on the grey. I wasn't sure at first when I took them out of the box, but I really love them now. They fit true to size, they are incredibly comfortable, and I LOVE the tassles. I'll get lots of use out of these.

Something to kick around in
" I saw this flip flop and really needed a new pair, so I purchased them in the pink. I've owned Teva sandals before and they're always comfortable. Perfect length and perfect width. Foot bed is very comfortable.

Finally went with the taupe
" I debated for several days which color I wanted to go with and I finally settled on the taupe. I figured the color would look great with much of my wardrobe. When I received these in the mail I knew I'd made the right choice. These shoes are definitely khaki in color and I love the canvas material. Very sturdy without being rough on my feet.
When I slipped my feet into these shoes the fit was absolutely divine. They fit like a glove and are sooooo comfortable. Love the height of the wedge. Now I'm debating going back for the black or maybe even the olive.
I took a good look at the inside of the shoe to see how the knot was tied because another reviewer stated the knot hurt her feet. The individual straps that are held in place by the knot are slightly overlapped, but the bottom side of the knot is flat. I would imagine that if the straps are tight on your foot then there could be some slight pain. But the straps fit perfectly over my foot... even with high arches.

LOVE this wedge in silver
" I absolutely adore the look of this wedge. I got it in silver and I think it's absolutely beautiful. I also love the synthetic material that the straps are made of. They do not look cheap like many synthetic products do. The height of the wedge is perfect and the straps fit nicely over my foot even though I have high arches.
My only issue is the shape of the toe area, which is pretty rounded. Sometimes my fourth toe (next to the pinky toe) slips off the side of the shoe. If there were half sizes in this shoe I'd go up. But going up one full size would be too much, so I'll keep the current size.

Love the sparkle... not your ordinary flip flop
" I was looking for a flat silver sandal... most of the styles I've seen are gladiators, which I truly detest in flat sandals. I think they look ridiculous and will eventually go out of style (I personally think they already have, but I'm no fashion expert). Anyway, I saw these sandals online and knew these were the ones. The sparkly band across the top of the foot took it beyond an ordinary flip flop. And I love the fact that there is a slight wedge. Sandals that are completely flat hurt my feet from the lack of padding.
These sandals definitely fit the bill. I'll be wearing them with summer dresses (including maxis) and they'll be perfect for my cruise next month. The fit is true to size and they're very comfy. I may go back for another color!

Love the red!!!
" I saw this shoe online and didn't think much about it... until I saw that it came in RED. I immediately ordered it in my normal size and it fits perfectly. The wedge is comfortable and easy to walk in. This is my 2nd pair of Fergalicious shoes and I would definitely consider getting more in the future.

Adorable. Straps too loose, though.
" I read several reviews about the straps being too loose and the large width of the shoe, but I decided to purchase this shoe in my normal size. Also, several reviewers stated that the size was perfect. After receiving this shoe, I do agree that the straps are too loose. I fastened the buckle at the very last hole and am considering punching another one just past that... there seems to be room for 1 more hole.
As for the length, my toes are at the VERY end of the shoe, so going down 1/2 size to accomodate for the loose straps is NOT an option. I probably should go up 1/2 size, but then the strap will likely be way too loose.
I purchased this shoe in pink and the colors look just as they do online. The colors aren't bright, but more of a dusty color... like the fabric has been washed several times. Absolutely gorgeous and for that reason I will love wearing these shoes with jeans and more casual capris and skirts this summer.
I'm going to wear these around the house more so I can decide weather I can keep these shoes based on the fit. I certainly don't want my toes hanging over the end or the strap loosening up too much from wear.

Sooooo comfy!!! And gorgeous!!!
" I'm not a big fan of shoes that tie around my ankles, but I absolutely love these espadrilles!!! There was a slight learning curve for me to figure out how to get this shoe on my foot because, as another reviewer stated, the ties are held in place. I wasn't sure what she meant until I received these. But I really love that feature! Once I slid my feet into these shoes and tied them, they fit like a glove!!! Sooooo comfortable and the fit is true to size. I purchased the green... would really love to get in pink as well, but I already have a lot of shoes in that color scheme.
Another reviewer mentioned the smell. I didn't have any smell at all with my shoes. Maybe she received a pair that somebody else had returned?
Get these shoes!

Such a unique shoe
" I saw these shoes at DSW.com and didn't hesitate to add them to my shopping cart. I love unique shoes and I've never seen any like this. I haven't worn them out yet as I just received them in the mail yesterday. I ordered my normal size and I'm pleased with the fit. I'm not a huge fan of shoes that wrap around my ankle (as another reviewer also stated), but I think these will be ok.
One thing I did notice as I was wearing them around the house last night... I think there will be a breaking in period. I immediately noticed that both shoes rub against the outside of my foot...at the back of the 5th metatarsal (the bone that protrudes behind the small toe). This could be painful after a few hours of wear.

Adorable wedge
" I haven't worn this shoe out yet as I just received them in the mail yesterday. I'm sure they'll be comfortable... most wedges are. But they do seem a little stiff. As for the fit. there is no additional room in them beyond your normal size. I purchased my normal size and my big toe is at the end of the shoe. So if you're unsure, go 1/2 size up. I'm not going to return for a larger size because my foot slides down the wedge... so even if I exchanged for 1/2 size up, I think my big toe would still be at the edge of the shoe and I'd have a gap at the heel. Several reviewers have mentioned the heel strap being too tight. I did not experience this problem at all. My foot slides right in.

Sexy heel
" I ordered these in black. I told myself I did not need another pair of black shoes, but then realized that I didn't have a sexy pair of black sandals. I have quite a few Michael Antonio sandals and this was a no-brainer.

My 2nd pair of Dr. Scholl's Habit Flats
" Last year I purchased my first pair of Dr. Scholl's Habit flats in a giraffe print. I've worn them a LOT and they are soooo comfortable.... the most comfortable flats I own. Lots of padding in the foot bed. Also, I've received lots of compliments on them. When I saw these new paisley Habit flats I had to have them in pink. I haven't worn them yet, but they are made exactly like the giraffe I bought last year. I cannot wait to wear them this spring.
When I tried them on, they felt a bit long although they're the exact size as the giraffe I bought last year. I even held them up together and they look the same size. I'm assuming perhaps it's due to the winter weather and my feet aren't swollen from the heat.

Will be returning
" I thought this boot would be really cute in the green color. I knew before I purchased it online that it wasn't real suede, but I thought I'd take a chance anyway. I received in the mail yesterday and really wasn't impressed with the quality of the shoe. Perhaps if these weren't nearly $50 I would have kept them, but they definitely aren't worth the price. Also, I found it difficut to keep the laces tight as I tied the boots... the way the tongue is made, it kept pushing the laces up and they wouldn't stay tight.

Adorable moccasins
" I am not at all a "moccasin type". I generally think they're ugly and didn't own a single pair until I saw these at DSW online. I instantly fell in love with the purple... such a pretty shade. So I ordered that and the grey during one of DSW's "big sales" (the server couldn't handle all the traffic and it was sooooooo slow it took me over an hour to actually purchase the 2 shoes). Regardless, I received the shoes in the mail yesterday.
I opened the grey first. LOVED the shade... only slightly darker than it appeared on my computer monitor. Then I opened the purple... I was so excited to see this beautiful shoe... only to find out the purple was sooooo much darker than on my computer monitor. I have 4 monitors (2 at work, 2 at home), so my color settings aren't to blame since I have them set slightly different on each one. In fact, I even printed out a picture of the shoe. It looked just as it did on my monitors. So be forewarned..... the purple is a deep purple rather than the beautiful jewel-toned purple as seen on the DSW web site. I still intend to keep the shoe because it's still pretty, but mostly because of the headache I went through to actually purchase this shoe on a busy DSW online sales day.
The shoes are true to size and seem comfortable enough (haven't worn them yet). I did note that on 2 of the shoes, the leather is slightly folded in on top where the seam is, which rubs against the top of my foot. I'm sure once I wear the shoes a time or two, the leather will relax a bit and the leather won't rub anymore.

Perhaps too young looking for me, but still love
" I was concerned that these would be too "young" looking for me, but I still absolutely love them. I ordered the black because I didn't have any black "booties"... all my black boots are knee length. These look fantastic with jeans and they'll be perfect for running errands because of the width of the heel... no sore feet. These fit true to size.

Love these
" I like these much more than I thought I would. The fit is perfect and true to size. I got the black and I'm so glad I did. They don't look as much like house slippers. I'll get a lot of use out of these... between wearing them around the house to running quick trips to the store.

They're really cute
" I received these in the mail yesterday and wore them around the house for hours last night. They were a little snug and I considered exchanging them for a larger size, but there are no half sizes. I think a full size would have been too much. So I wore them for hours hoping the toes would expand out a bit, which they did. This is definitely not the best solution, but I don't feel like sending them back. Also, they are not quite as comfy as I expected. I have another pair of Dr. Scholl's which are incredibly comfortable, so I was a little disappointed that these were not on par. I still recommend these shoes simply because of the cute factor (I got the grey), but you may want to consider going up a size.
