I really like these
sandals. I'd been looking for a pair of simple, flat,
white sandals for quite a while, and these are it! I even picked these over the
Merrell Savannah which I ordered and tried on at the same time. I really had my heart set on the Merrells when I ordered. While I would give the Merrells a bit of an edge on comfort, the
Nine West are so much more flattering and delicate (it also doesn't hurt that they cost less). They are more versatile, I think, because they don't have so much of the 'comfort shoe' look. They are in style without being so trendy that I won't be able to wear them next year, like a lot of the more literal interpretations of the
gladiator sandal that are currently in stores. Once I decided to keep these, though, I did have a touch of buyer's remorse, wondering if I'd made a silly choice picking style over comfort. But, the first time I wore them with my favorite new sundress, I knew I'd made the right decision. It turned out these were comfortable for the whole day right out of the box! BOTTOM LINE: If you want to go
hiking or climb hills in your
sandals, I'd choose the
Merrell Savannah, but for a simple summer
sandal for a city girl, these are ideal...and you can save a few bucks. Now, I want them in more colors - have my eye on the turquoise!
