Customers Say

Customers love these sandals for their versatility, noting they work well with both casual and dressy outfits, and appreciate their durability, with one customer mentioning they hold up even when wet. The sandals receive positive feedback for their appearance, comfort, and quality, with customers noting they can be worn all day, and one review highlighting how the leather softens with wear. The fit receives mixed reviews, with some finding them true to size while others say they run large, and customers disagree on the stiffness of the leather upper.

I really don't understand the hype behind these poorly fitting shoes. I like that they seem to be made with quality materials, but the fit is terrible. I bought the silver pair for my 4-year old and while the footbed was the right length, the heel strap (not adjustable) is too long and her heel was always hanging off the back of the sandal, and left a good 1.5 to 2 inch bit of extra toe space in front, causing her to trip. We kept them for the following year to see if the fit would improve as she grew, but it never got better. If only we could adjust that back strap so her foot wouldn't keep falling off the back, these shoes would be okay. Even then, the weird, flat fit of the top straps and the complete lack of support really make it hard to find anything about these shoes to like. I know, I know, all the trendy moms will point at me and shout "blasphemer" at the playground tomorrow, but seriously, these shoes kind of stink.

A classic, and for good reason. This is my 3.5-year-old daughter's third pair in three years. She wears these nearly every day in the summer, and they've held up so well that we can hand them down once she grows out of them. Only complaint is that there's no traction at all on the bottom, but as long as they're not worn on superslippery surfaces, they're perfect.

Great shoe. My 8 year old loves them - great for wider feet. Fashionable yet practical!

Cute, but definitely too big. Daughter said they weren't very comfortable but it could be they were juse too big. Also buckles a little hard for child to do. Will return for smaller size and see if those work.

Always our favorite classic sandal! Have them in 3 colors and counting...they seem to run a little big but last forever.
