Customer Reviews Bass Margie

I was worried that these would not be cute on me. I am 20 and needed some good sandals that would not make my feet die while I am backpacking around Europe this summer. My other friends were going to fork over a lot of money for some Birkenstocks but when I got these they changed their minds. They are so comfortable! the cushion on the bottom is amazing and has not worn down at all and I have worn them a bunch already. They are actually super cute too. I was not necessarily looking for cute, more for comfort. I was really pleasantly surprised by how nicely they go with a little floral dress or shorts or something. I definitely recommend them. To add to it, they are amazing for how inexpensive they are; not to mention, they showed up at my house in only three days! I wear an 8½ but can sometimes squeeze my feet into the occasional 8. When it comes to sandals, I was not really sure. After watching the video I kind of assumed they ran a little big, and I got an 8 and they fit perfectly. The straps were not uncomfortable and tight like some sandals are before you wear them in either. These are just all around really good shoes. I am really glad that I gave them the benefit of the doubt when I was not sure because they turned out to be perfect.

I have had 2 pairs of the Margie sandals in black, ordered from Zappos. My first pair of the black Margie sandals, the inner strap near the ankle broke after approximately 3-5 wearings. I called Zappos, and they replaced with the same style and color. I had the same thing happen; same strap broke after a very few wearings. The straps are not tight, and I am wearing the appropriate size. Additionally, I am not doing anything strenuous; no hiking or jogging or any such activity. Just walking. On a sidewalk, in a parking lot, etc. I also have a pair of the Margie sandals in Cinnamon. Those I have worn for 2 summers, almost daily. No ripped/torn straps on those. So I have to believe it is a defect with the black ones, for some reason. I can't tell you how disappointing it is to have thrown away this much on sandals I wore less than ten times between the 2 pairs I had. I think the sandals are comfortable, and they are reasonably attractive, for someone with big feet like myself. It's not easy to find shoes that don't look orthopedic for big feet (we like to be stylish too!). The cinnamon color is fine for every day wear, but sometimes I want black sandals to go with my outfit, and now I don't have any thanks to to some manufacturing defect. I think Bass needs to look into this issue, and have contacted them about it. I agree with other reviewers that the foot-bed is rather long; I probably could have gone down half a size. Also, the straps have stretched out a lot. I am considering wetting the sandals and letting them dry in the sun to try and "shrink" them back down for next summer. The straps are so loose that a couple of times I have been afraid of the shoe twisting so badly that I will fall. I don't know if that could be remedied by going down half a size. But overall I do like the shoes, they just have some issues you need to consider before purchasing, and maybe try a slightly smaller size.

I thought about sending these back because they made this squishing sound when I walked. I'm glad I didn't. I love these sandals! They are very comfortable. They look great. I got the tan color, and it's the perfect neutral to wear with anything all summer long. Did I already say I love these? Oh, and they don't squish any longer.

I have not been able to wear these for a long day yet but I bought them for my trip to disney because I needed a good pair of sandals that would be cute and comfortable. They fit perfect and are super soft and comfortable! I usually buy size 9 so I got a size 8.5 as mentioned.

I am actually a AAA and these fit me. They are quite narrow. They look very nice. I'm looking forward to sandal season so I can actually wear them out (just wore them around the house so far).

I was really pleased with these -- have already worn them on a week cruise. It's been very hard in recent years to find sandals in other than "medium" and "wide;" these fit perfectly. The part of the strap that crosses my little toe is not at the best place for me, but this must differ for every foot.

This is an attractive, comfortable, and casual shoe. It goes well with a wide variety of clothing styles. Shoe color is somewhat more red than pictured.

I love these shoes! I have a lot of trouble with pain in my feet and this shoe is comfortable and does not hit the toes that I broke long ago. I like this shoe so well that I bought the other colors available. This is the first time I've ordered from Zappos.com. A wonderful company to deal with at any level. I wanted to exchange the black pair and there was absolutely no problem doing so.

The Bass Margie is very comfortable with the padded footbed and good for walking. It fits true to size in all the right places and is very attractive for social ocassions.

Fantastic! I have a wide foot and this sandal fits and looks great! The footbed is so soft.

Sandals are great. Fit well and are very comfortable - good cushioning.

I bought these for a trip to Jamaica. They were extremely comfortable as my primary walking shoes. They barely needed any breaking in- they were comfortable on the first day. The leather did stretch a bit, so by the end of the week I was on the second-to-smallest hole in the strap, but the footbed was true to size.

Very comfortable sandal, works well as a casual every-day shoe and when I want to dress it up a little with pants or dresses.

Having looked for such a long time recently for plain leather sandals without lots of heavy buckles and shiny bling, I was thrilled to find these. They fit so well. I immediately ordered another pair in black. Fantastic!

I am among those who kick their shoes off as soon as they arrive home, so you know I'm very careful about the shoes I MUST wear. These are such very nice, comfortable and attractive shoes that I could not be more pleased. Add to that the fact that Zappos is the most efficient and reasonably priced vendor on the net, hands down!

I recently had to throw out a pair of black sandals because they had lived their life. These were the perfect replacement. They are soft and comfortable. They are recommend highly!

Very comfortable! It feels as good as a slipper. When this pair becomes worn, I will purchase another pair.

I love the shoes, but they were too big in the length. I got size 12WW, but I needed this same shoe in 11WW. So this return is just an exchange in size for 11WW.

Great sandal. Unbelievably fast delivery. Second pair this year, only because young golden retriever liked the taste of them. I have had Bass sandals before and they last for years. I have ordered several things from Zappos, and they are the best. Thanks.

These are the most comfortable sandals every! I love bass sandals because the have so much cushion, I work in them all day 7 hours on my feet. and they don't ache at all. I went a 1/2 up just to play it safe. Good thing I did. They do stretch out a little bit but you can go up a notch on the strap. They are like walking on air!

I work retail and I'm on my feet all day. Our floors are hardwood and usually my feet are in so much pain that when I get home I crawl. These shoes are the only shoes I can wear at work. The air noise is worth the comfort.

Comfortable, with classic styling that may not be bleeding-edge cool, but that nonetheless blend with the average work-casual outfit, these sandals are a good value. They last forever, the footbed lining is like a little massage with every step and the flat heel makes these a good choice for long distance walking. I wear mine daily, and walk a good five miles in them. They never pinch or fatigue. Sure, they're not hip looking, but their timelessness makes them wearable season after season. Plus, they're priced less here! I recommend them.

I have extra wide feet, high arches, and the beginnings of a bunion on one foot. These are the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn. I can walk in them all day long and my feet don't hurt at all! Amazing! I'm going to order a second pair.

Love these sandals! Have worn these for the past 20 years. very comfy, very durable. Try them, you'll love them!

Simply the best pair of sandals that I've ever had! These are my walking shoes. I walk about 5 miles a day to and from work and I don't do it without these shoes on. I hope they never stop selling these.
