I LOVE this sandal. I bought them in almond patent leather. A sturdy wedge sandal with an adjustable strap (5 holes, not the usual 3, which matters to me) in a neutral shade. I think the almond color complements the cork and the shiny leather dresses up any outfit. They were kinda clunky at first, and they seem slightly narrow, but I got used to them. They are true to size and well-made so I'm sure they'll carry me through fall and I'll pull them back out next spring. They're pretty and versatile.

Cute shoe - These are so cute. The heel is high and not very stable. You need to be used to a very high heel to wear these I think. They are a bit narrow for me and I would have gotten the wide if they had them but with some wear I can tell they will stretch enough. Normally I would send back a shoe that was not comfortable but these are too cute to give back. I have worn them once for a half day at work (which was my plan) and I think one or two more half days will have them broken in. They run true to length but maybe a bit narrow across the ball of the foot. Past experience is that Vaneli doesn’t usually fit me well.

Very nice looking shoes - I bought the tan ones and they look really nice. Heel is not too high...you can dress it up or down.

Didn't fit right - I didn't think these looked quite as nice as the picture. I've decided that I cannot wear Vanelis. The B width is too narrow and the wider width is too wide. I ordered the wide, but could tell that my foot would have slid forward. Sent them back and kept the Tommy Hilfiger Savoys.

Tight on the toes but beautiful shoe - Nice shoe, fits well. Only "complaint" is the leather is tight over toes and not flexible. I do like the shoe!

Nice dress casual shoe - This is a nice looking shoe and fits well on my narrow foot. I ordered this in the almond color, but decided not to keep it as it was a bit too dressy for what I wanted. I have worn a 9 1/2N for as long as I can remember and the last few years, I have had to go to 10N because of the length in most sandals. This fit well in the 10N. Shoe makers have changed. Most narrows are no longer narrow enough, especially in summer sandals in the ball of foot and toe areas. If they are going to change their sizing, they need to offer more of their styles in 3A.

Attractive but hard - These shoes are hard, almost like walking on bricks. They did not hurt the bottom of my feet, but the straps squeezed my newly pedicured little toes. My toes are always sensitive after a pedicure, but this shoe hurt the sorest part of my foot. What a shame, the almond patent is the perfect summer color. Gotta have tough feet for this shoe.

This is a gorgeous shoe...however, it's like walking on wooden planks. It is wide enough, but not comfortable at all. Will stick with Sofft brand.
