Another of my favorite Papillio sandals! I wear Papillios all summer and as far as I can into the fall. They work well for my short, wide, high arch feet!

These are very cute and comfortable! What more can you ask for in a sandal? The only problem I had was that I had to make extra holes in the straps because they didn't feel even or tight enough. But I can work with it so I am keeping them.

Very comfortable without break in time. Straps could be shorter and will probably have to put additional holes in to tighten up the sandal.

This is a swim top, not just a sports bra. I ordered my regular size, which is a L (I am a 34D) and it fits well. The string racerback is similar to the style of Lululemon hot yoga bras and very light and comfortable (of course, they are not suitable for high impact activities like jogging). The one negative note is that it has no padding or lining to speak of -- so despite the great fit, I feel uncomfortable wearing it to the pool. I may try adding foam pads or just relegate it to hot yoga.

I like how this sports bra has regular looking straps so that I can wear it under tank tops and boat collar shirts. Support: I have a large chest, so the only reason this bra works for me (even though it seems to be meant for smaller chested women) is because of the drawstring that you can tighten, tie, and tuck inside. For me, the support level is fine for low impact activities like hiking or playing basketball but it's not enough support to go for a run or play soccer in if you are above a C cup. Drawstring: The string is a little more challenging to tighten the string than I though it would be, but it's not hard. It's also extremely long, so I ended up cutting it to what I wanted and it's fine- no fraying. Comfort level: The straps dig in a little on me (but again, I don't think that would happen on a C cup or lower). It's not bad, but not super comfy like other sports bras I have. It doesn't bother me though because I bought this one so that I could wear a sports bra and have it be OK that the straps show. Overall look: The colors are vibrant and bright. The quality is good. Since it seems to be meant for C cups and smaller, the lack of support doesn't make it look very sleek on me. I still like it though for what I want it for. The cut is pretty low for a sports bra/swimsuit, just so you know that beforehand. And the drawstring does create a little bump where you tie it under the bra.. which would be noticeable if you're wearing it by itself. I like it and am keeping it. Even though I'd love more support and still be able to have the string straps, I'd still buy it again unless something better comes along. :)
