Customer Reviews Vaneli Taletha

Be careful when adjusting the strap over the lower foot. If it seems a little tight when starting to pull out the strap, I recommend not pulling it out completely. Mine was this way and I couldn't get it to go back in. Also, if your foot is narrow and you adjust the straps, the center strap starts to have an angle which looks a little weird. Other reviewers have mentioned these things as well. It is a cute shoe, but I must return since I can't wear them due to the buckle defect.

Loved shoe but my left foot bunion looked awful in sandal.

I used to wear this style (Taletha) in a navy blue patent stamped material. I do not recall whether my previous pair was a N or a S. This material seems much less substantial, and the fit is much looser in the N, such that if I buckle the shoe to fit, the t-strap sits crooked across my foot. I will be returning these.

I have very narrow feet and finding sandals that don't gape or slip of is difficult. These fit like a dream and are really comfortable. The three stars is because the pair I received is quite visibly worn. The bottoms were dirty, and the straps look like someone gave them a good go. I am keeping them as there are no more in my size and it feels wasteful to return them. But I sort of feel like I just went thrift shopping. Although I have nothing against thrift shopping, the price of these shoes does not reflect the fact that they are clearly a used product.

There was a sharp burr where the holes in the straps were punched.

The shoe style was cute but there was no arch support at all. It wouldn’t have been comfortable to walk in all day, plus the strap across the toes was uncomfortable. Had to return them.

The shoes fit fine. They looked good, but my foot did not feel secure. There is too much slippage side to side. The foot bed material is too slick and there is not enough of the shoe to keep the foot from moving sideways. I am sending them back.

I wear a size 5 and these fit true to my size. The is cute, but there is very little arch support and my feet slid inward as I walked in them. No matter how tight I made the straps, my feet still slipped. I will be returning them.

Poor Design. I wanted to love this shoe but unfortunately have to return. I have a small foot, on the narrow side but these were extremely narrow. The side of my foot next hung over the edge in the front. It would be as if they were a slender width instead of regular. Van Eli shoes do run small but these were very short and I ordered a half size larger. While I did like the way the shoe looked, the design was poor. The stitching all around the shoe is very raised making it uncomfortable as the foot will rub on this thick thread. Also the buckle across the toes are not padded and the metal hits the toe.

Super cute shoe, but even in a narrow, my foot slid out and over the top. They didn't work for me, but they are really good looking with a super comfortable footbed and rubber sole. I wish they had fit me better.

Although the shoes were too wide in general, the main problem was that the buckle in the front dug into my toe severely. It was very uncomfortable, even though the strap was not tight and after only a few steps were taken. The quality of the shoe seemed fine but I had an immediate desire to get them off of my feet. The fit was just wrong for my feet.

These are supposed to be wides. Not so. While it looks good for a wide foot, with two adjustable straps, actually adjusting them put the T-strap way off center, it lays at a diagonal. And not in a good way. The ankle strap also is on the small side.

This is a very lovely sandal. But, the buckle rubs when you walk and the edges of straps also rub. They are not finished well. Too bad, such a cute shoe.

Cute sandal, but the buckle over the toe rubs when you walk - too painful so I will be returning these.

The style is really cute, unfortunately the ones I received the buckle didn’t function properly and the holes were so tight it was nearly impossible to get the buckle pin through. It also seemed like I received a pair that had already been returned as the shoes showed up sloppily wrapped in a bag and no box. I assume whoever got them before me returned because of the same issue. Unfortunately I will be returning them.

The stitching on footbed is directly under toes and SO uncomfortable. Horrible design. Buckle hits pinky toe - ouch. Too bad bc it's a cute shoe.

Liked the shoe and the Natural Gomez color but had to send them back. The buckle over the toes hurt really badly.

Are they kidding?? They literally put a metal bucket right on top of one's pinky toe so that it can be scraped up? Reallly??

Shoe was beige, not white and were used, damaged strap connected to shoe on right shoe, used straps, T-strap not aligned in the center and very badly made.

Very narrow. Cute style.

Cute shoe but miserably uncomfortable. Stiff straps, cutting into my feet everywhere they touched - heels, arch, toes. Went right back in the box.
