These are my favorite sandals, and I'm now on my third pair. Because they are leather, they will be tough when you first get them and have a little break in period. After a couple of wears they flex, widen out, and in a week or two they'll feel perfect.

This is a great, simple flat. I did size up a half; usually an 8 but needed an 8.5 in this slide.
It is also a great value- so unusual to find a leather foot bed at this price point, but so much more comfortable
than a synthetic foot bed.

These shoes are so beautiful! However, they are much too narrow for me. My foot is average width.

These are cute and simple but they are the most uncomfortable sandals I’ve ever owned. They have as much give in them as a piece if iron. Awful.

Should have listened to the reviews...these are soooooooo stiff and uncomfortable, I don't think any amount of 'breaking in' would help. 2 stars because they're adorable albeit unwearable.

While these look nice - in the box - they were the most uncomfortable sandals I've had on and I had to return them. If you have feet that are even a little bit wide (mine are) and short toes, these will probably be difficult for you to wear...

The shoe is narrow and the leather is stiffer than it looked so these were very uncomfortable for me.

I love these sandals. I purchased brown leather and now purchased black ones. At first they will feel like they fit smaller than expected but as another review mentioned, the leather does need a few wears to stretch out a bit. They are VERY comfortable after 3-4 wears and are excellent quality. It is difficult to find leather sandals at such great value

I'm typically a 7 but had to exchange for a 7.5. They are narrow shoes, which is good for me as I have narrow feet. They are comfortable and cute. I also have another pair of Madwell sandals and they have lasted forever so I have high hopes for these as well.

These were a gift for my granddaughter. She absolutely loves them. She sent me a picture and they look like they fit perfectly plus they are a very pretty shoe. Zappos is a great place to shop.

I typically wear 7.5-8 elsewhere a solid 8 at Madewell. I bought these in an 8 and my foot barely fits length wise. Got on final sale so can’t exchange for a half size up but will prob purchase a second pair in a 8.5 or 9 because they are so comfy, classic and versatile. I have average width feet and these fit perfectly width wise right out of the package.

Love these, I like that there is a toe slot so it makes it easier to wear the shoes so they don't fall off. They take a little breaking in but once the leather softens a bit they're blister free. they're almost true to size but tend to run a tad small, so if you're in doubt I recommend a half size bigger than you'd normally get.

Digs just a bit on the tow but I think will soften. Otherwise more comfortable than I expected snd super cute.

These are hard to keep on and I find myself scrunching my toes to prevent them from sliding off. They also loudly flop as I walk, especially down stairs.

After reading other reviews, I ordered a half size up from my normal size and they still didn't fit. Not only was the footed too short, but the toe box was too narrow to allow me to get the post between my toes.

These are so cute and yet so uncomfortable! The bottoms have absolutely no padding and no give. I really wanted those because of the unique toe guard and the pretty leather colors.But my feet feel better going barefoot.

Cute casual sandals but I should have followed other reviews about sizing. I am typically between an 8 and 8 1/2 but these 8 1/2’s are very snug and barely fit in length. I hate having to break shoes in so will likely return.

These are sooo cute and was super excited for them but they are extremely uncomfortable at the toes - there is an in-needed strap between 1st and 2nd tow and makes these unwearable

These sandals singlehandedly caused me to unfollow an influencer, haha! They were so incredibly uncomfortable that I actually laughed when I put them on. I figured anyone who would recommend these torture devices wasn't worth a follow.
