Customer Reviews Swedish Hasbeens Merci Sandal

My 5th pair of Swedish Hasbeens, and my most comfortable pair right out of the box! Interestingly, the strap just didn't have enough holes for my ankles (hadn't encountered this on my other pairs), but a quick additional hole punch solved that, and made them tighter around the back. Like other reviewers said, they're a little squeaky at first, but so what - I want people to notice my cute shoes, lol! Plus, they stopped squeaking after a few wears. My first pair of Swedish Hasbeens has been in regular use for over 5 summers...I wear all of them for work with skirts and dresses, with jeans, so versatile and retro-hip...women of all ages ask me about them all the time. Never had easier shoes to keep looking great - just sanding the heels when they get dirty or scuffed. Amazingly sexy and comfortable...I get compliments on all my pairs, but especially these.

This is a beautiful shoe! I bought these in a lovely tan color. They are very squeaky (still after 3 wears), but my biggest issue is the sensitivity of the leather. I wore them the second day after I got them, a cookie crumb fell on my shoe and in the very short amount of time it was on there a grease stain appeared. Now there is a forever grease stain right on the front of my shoe...would it be asking to much to seal the leather before selling them? A similar thing happened to my friend on the day she bought her hasbeens bringing her the same frustration. It was a waste of my money. Had I known the leather was so sensitive there is no way I would have bought them. It is so infuriating/frustrating to ruin a $200+ shoe on the very first time wearing them.

Great fit, not too high, goes with anything!

These are awesome - exactly what I wanted and high quality. Not great for walking a lot, and I got blisters on my toes the first couple of wears, but it's worth it.

These are SO squeaky, even when I'm not walking around in these shoes. They are very cute, but I don't think I can wait that long for them to stop squeaking. Also, I'm a 6 1/2. The size 7 was a bit to long for my feet.

Bought these shoes in "nature" to wear with summer skirts and dresses. Very comfortable but a bit squeaky - even after 5 wears; however, they look great with just about everything.

These shoes are so crazy-fabulous in their design that I really wanted them to work for me. But, I just couldn't justify the cost for two reasons: 1. As other reviewers have noted regarding Hasbeens, the leather on the shoe is not sealed, so they stain easily (mine actually arrived with stains on them). 2. There is no padding on the foot bed - it's solid wood, and for me, walking in them was about as comfortable as walking on cement - they are so hard that every step caused significant pain on the balls of my feet. Unfortunately, I am returning these shoes.

They are the perfect shoe in every way. Don't have enough great things to say about them. Beautiful, stylish, comfortable, really well made.

I wore them the first time and had to take them off an hour later. So painful to walk in AND they squeeked with every single step. Very bummed cause they are so cute.

Super disappointed. I could tell these size 40 (10) had been tried on which didn't really bother me but as soon as I put them on I see why they were returned. They are so squeaky when you walk in them I would be embarrassed to wear them anywhere. I usually wear size 9.5 so I sized up which was a decent fit for me. The style was cute but they are going back because I can't wear shoes that you can hear from 3 blocks away. I would try to exchange but I'm pretty certain this problem is not unique to this pair. I'm wondering if I oiled them would they stop squeaking? But I don't want to take the chance of oiling get them and then not being able to send them back. Maybe if they were cheaper I would take the hit- but at this price I would rather get a sure bet.

It's my first pair of shoes of this brand, really very comfortable, the style is beautiful, I definitely like them.

Super sexy and comfortable. Look great with jumpsuits, palazzo pants, long dresses. Love Hasbeens.

Good quality

Love it!!! I am a size 9.5 but I got a 41 in these :)

I wish you have more colors of this style.

This was my first pair of Hasbeens. I have two pairs of MIAs that were comfy right out of the box. Thought sizes between those two Swedish brands would be comparable. But I was wrong. I have always been a perfect 6 across all brands/styles of shoes. So I was surprised that Hasbeens felt tight at a size 6 (36). Planning to order next whole size up. (Will revise my review once I get the next size to try on.)

I have quite a few Hasbeens, all of which fit beautifully! These were a bit unusual in that the front cross strap doesn't look cute once a foot is inside. These were definitely a splurge for my birthday, but I just didn't love them. Had to send back.
