Great shoe - I love this shoe. The problem is hot weather. The shoe is comfortable in the morning, but as the day goes on - and the Florida heat - it gets uncomfortable. Would suggest a full size larger. It's a great shoe otherwise.

I was a little concerned about the sizing of this shoe since many of Eric Michael's shoes tend to run small. I normally wear a 7.5 and the 38 (7.5-8.0) fits perfect. I received my order in less than 24 hours.

Helen - This is my second attempt with Eric Michael shoes. I wear a size 5. The smallest size fits more like a size 6. It runs big. I did like the adjustable strap, which some of his other styles don't have. It's a good size heel for running around and looking nice with skirts or slacks. I did find the tan patent leather to look a little cheap, but considering the price, you wouldn't expect it to last more than a summer anyway.

Loved the look and feel of these shoes BUT I'm a true 8 and the Euro size 38 was too snug to chance waiting for them to stretch and thus weakening the gorgeous shoe! Zappos was out of the larger size so I bought them through another vendor. BAD IDEA. Not only was the next size up enormous (a true 9) but the quality of leather very weird and fake like. Even the color was off as though it was a vegetarian leather or something.

Very Cute - Loved this shoe. It is comfy, as well as, very cute. I got it in leopard and it is classy with jeans, slacks or skirt. Dresses up a solid black or brown shirt and jean capris.

I love the look and it is true to size. I have wide feet, so it is a little bit tight on the toes.

These shoes are really adorable. I’m petite so I almost never wear flats, and these shoes give me the look of a flat with a small heel. I got the leopard print and they are really cute and will go with a lot of different outfits. I started out with my usual size (36), but they were too long and also a bit wide, so I sized down to the 35. They are the perfect length, but a bit tight on the toes. Don’t you love how easy Zappos makes it to get the size you need? I decided to keep the 35 because the other size was way too large. I hope they turn out to be comfy because I love the look.

Extremely comfortable espadrille sandal - dressy enough to be appropriate for an office setting. I wear a true size 8 and ordered "up" per advice in comments. The size 39 fit perfectly when it came, but has stretched a bit and now is just a tad big… but I have just adjusted the back strap to make it smaller. I LOVE this shoe and also have it in dark brown and black.
Brands I'd also recommend: There is a MUCH more expensive, similar looking sandal from Donald Pliner that is fantastic.

Love these shoes. They are like wearing slippers. The leather on the sling back does stretch. But since I had it on the very first hole, there are more holes to make it tighter. I am seriously considering buying these in black!
Brands I'd also recommend: Clarks, Bass, Vigotti

I have tiny feet after lots of surgery and have a very difficult time finding shoes to fit. This shoe is great; both comfortable and adjustable. I'm thrilled.

These are comfortable, gorgeous on, with a very flattering cut at the toes. I took the advice of others and ordered 1/2 size up and they fit perfectly. Great summer shoes!

I do like this shoe for comfort although they are a little tight near the toes. And the strap at the back is a little loose. It is close to an size 11.5 .
Brands I'd also recommend: soft walk and spring step

Very comfortable. I took other reviewers\' advice and ordered 1/2 size larger -- in my case it wasn\'t necessary. The shoe is about 1/2 size too big... so, I\'d say it runs true-to-size.

Love the look, love the materials and quality, but the toe box is extremely small and pinching. I won’t be able to wear these shoes for more than ten minutes without pain, so I am returning them. I’m sad because I do love the look and haven’t found any other sandals I like this season.

I already owned a pair of espadrilles by this designer. So I decided to give these a try. They are comfortable and attractive shoes. Be warned, however, that these shoes do run large. You may have to size down. I have a wide foot and had to go down a half size. For the price, I feel that it was a bit expensive for what it is. The print pair that I purchased are made of canvas and not leather. The previous pair were embossed leather and I acquired them at a shoe store in the village and paid less than half of what these go for on this or any other site. But since I really wanted them, I paid. If you like them, then get them, I am sure you will get lots of wear out of these comfy and fashionable gems!

This is a beautiful shoe design - very flattering. I bought it last year in all colors and found, unfortunately, that by the end of the year they had stretched so much they no longer fit (I wear around an 8 but have narrow feet). This year, I sized down and although the shoe may be a tiny bit short I don't think that will be noticeable (and it is comfortable). I probably will end up buying all the colors again -- it's just a great shoe.
