Lilly Pulitzer Mckim Sandal SKU #7489715(View on Zappos.com Classic)

I wanted a sandal that was elegant but simple and this one hit the mark. As far as fit & comfort: The thong straps were fine and the fit was not a problem for me - my foot didn't slide around like it did in some other sandals. The sole is leather with a thin rubber layer that provides traction and helps maintain the sandals shape. However, I will admit that it's not the most comfortable sandal to wear all day; it is completely flat and has no cushioning or shock absorption at all. Having said that, it's one of my preferred summer sandals because of it's look. It is somehow both elegant and casual which means it is versitile. I ordered the white and I have worn it with shorts, skirts, and pants, and I'm sure I'll be wearing this sandal many more times this summer. As always, great Zappos service!

Stylish and comfortable - I live in a semi-tropical climate so most of us wear sandals or even go barefoot much of the time. Lily sandals come in wonderful colors which is why I was attracted to them. We enjoy bright colors here year round so Lily fills the bill with shoes that are made of real leather and have a very attractive style. I own several pairs.

Gorgeous, but pricey... I love, love, love these sandals, but still feel guilty for spending so much on them. They do fill an empty space for my summer wardrobe though and it's impossible to find flats that don't look and feel cheap. The silver ring gives a simple sandal like this a touch of class. Since I wear silver instead of gold jewelry, it was what sealed the deal.

Cute but flat-footed - I love these sandals and wanted them for a long time. I'm still glad I bought them but there is NO cushioning whatsoever. They are great for a garden party and look adorable with a dress but don't plan to walk 10 miles in them.

They're sandals - The McKim sandal is cute because it's clean and simple. These sandals won't go out of style. However, they do run a little small. The 8.5 barely fits but the 9 was too big. I'm normally a size 8. Overall if you want a summer fashion that will last into the next summer and the one after that these are a good choice.

The go-with-everything sandal - Modern and yet classic. Simple and elegant. Perfect to wear with spring dresses, capris, and summer styles. Excellent quality overall and they're available in so many colors you'll want a pair of each! A little pricier, but you won't be disappointed with these beauties.

Lilly Pulitizer McKim Sandals - How much do I love these classic and timeless sandals? I currently own them in navy, gold and green and plan to collect many more (the lady at the local Lilly Pulitzer told me they introduce a couple new colors every season so I’m hoping for black, brown or red next)! For reference, when they measure me on the shoe ruler at the shoe store, I come off as a straight 8-C, but depending upon the shoe I can wear anywhere from a 7 ½ to a 9 so it’s always a crap-shoot for me to order shoes online. For this reason, I decided to make a trip to the aforementioned local LP store to try these sandals on in-person, and then go home and order them from Zappos…Unfortunately, it didn’t quite work out that way, because once I saw these shoes on my feet, I couldn’t give them up and walked out with them in navy and gold. *sheepish grin* Those two pair were a size 8 ½, which fit me very comfortably, but later when I saw that Zappos had the green version marked down for less than a hundred-bucks, all they had left that was anywhere near my size was an 8, so I kept my fingers crossed that the smaller size would still be okay and clicked “Add to Shopping Cart” button. When they arrived, I immediately tried them on and found that they *did* fit, but my toes were right up to the edge, not quite hanging over but it was a very close thing! I decided to keep them, but be assured that if Zappos had had them in 8 1/2s, I’d have sent the 8’s back and gotten the half-size larger. I own these sandals in both sizes, I’d have to say that they run maybe a ¼-size smaller than marked (i.e.: size-8 is actually a 7 ¾ and the 8 1/2s are actually 8 ¼), if that makes any sense. The leather on these sandals is buttery soft and has a lot of give. At first, I was concerned that the gold-look metal ring that rests on top of the foot would be bothersome or “cut” into the top of my foot, but it only took about 15 minutes of wear for me to break them in completely so that I no longer even noticed the ring and the shoes didn’t rub or irritate any other areas of my foot. Although there is absolutely no arch support, these sandals are surprisingly comfortable -- even when walking long distances or standing on one’s feet all-day. And they make my cute but pudgy feet look sleek and stream-lined! One thing, though: you’ll definitely want to have a fresh pedicure to show off your hooves to their fullest advantage in these stunners… Regarding the colors currently available: the “Bright Navy” color is true to it’s name, while the “Palm Beach Green” is a vivid kelly green, rather than a lime or kiwi shade -- which I actually would have preferred, but then I‘m a sucker for any shade of green… The “Gold Metal” is a pale, muted “icy gold” shade, rather than something garish that will compete with your 18K gold jewelry (speaking of which, these sandals set off a delicate little ankle bracelet JUST so!). These are also available in two pink shades: “Parade Pink” is a bright, hot pink while “Shell Pink” is a soft, palest “baby” pink. And ending out the available color-palette: the silver is a soft, “icy white” shade (note: the metal ring for these is silver-toned, all other colors have the gold-toned metal ring), and the “Orange Sun” is a warm-toned papaya shade (a lot more wearable than one would initially think!), and the white is, well, white! Anyway, these are THE quintessential flat, summer sandals that can be dressed up with a floaty summer dress, or dressed down with denim shorts and a t-shirt, but which ALWAYS look classic, elegant and effortlessly chic. If you like to spend your sandal-season padding around in thongs, but wished they looked a little more stylish and distinguished, then THIS is the sandal you’re looking for. Yeah, they’re hella pricey for nothing more than a glorified flip-flop, but they’re very well-constructed and look like they’ll last -- with even minimal care -- through many seasons. Even when I got caught in an unexpected summer cloud-burst (before I had the chance or thought to “water-proof” them with leather sealer), they looked none-the-less for wear and dried within minutes without suffering any permanent damage! I’m eyeballing the silver and/or orange pairs next, unless Lilly introduces the aforementioned black, red or brown this fall…all-in-all, this is one impulse purchase I haven‘t regretted for a second! Just look upon them as an investment in your fashion-future and it won’t hurt as much when you receive that credit-card statement. *wink* I just thank God that sandal season lasts pretty much all year in my neck of the woods so I can wear this nearly year-round! Now, if I could only get the Lilly “Shelly” thong sandals (with the little gold metal shells along the thong strap) out of my mind...

Classic sandal - This is the perfect totally flat sandal. It can be dressy or casual, but it always looks classy. For me, it's worth the money because it is of high quality, and will be timeless. I wear a C width, but this sandal works for me.
