Was very disappointed. These sandals were way too long. The width was ok, but had to return

Loved the look of these shoes. Was delighted they came in narrow. So hard to find sandals that fit narrower foot. But, after wearing for 2 hours, the rivets that are part of the great design were making my instep very uncomfortable.

Tends to run long. Wide width was OK for me, but straps at my ankle were way too wide, so unfortunately, I need to send these back.

Super cute shoe, but the top of the heel was stiff and uncomfortable and cut into my heel. Note, the color is more grey than tan/beige, which I preferred, but if you're looking for a tan color, this isn't it.

I need a narrow and the narrow I ordered was a little too big. Really like the style ...wish it fit better.

Such a pretty sandal! I was so looking forward to wearing it with sundresses. But, las, I won't be because the shoe is much too wide. I have to return it. Zappo's had ONE PAIR available in my size -- 10 Narrow. But when I tried it on, it fit like a 10 Medium -- or even a wide! So disappointing.

From the reviews, I decided to order 1/2 size smaller. I am a size 10 medium width and ordered 9 1/2. They were still too long in length (toe area) and they felt narrow throughout the shoe. Not much grip on the sole, they felt slippery when walking across my hardwood floor. I ordered navy and they are a true navy color and a very cute shoe, but I am returning due to fit.

Loosey-goosey! My narrow feet and ankles just can't catch a break!I even sized down to a 9.5 from a 10 N and it's very, very loose. sadly sending them back.

I was so excited to get this shoe, and read many reviews before I ordered, many of which said it fit their narrow feet. Not so mine. In fact, it was very loose on my feet, and I could literally just walk out of them. Maybe, as I've grown older, I've morphed into a super slim, rather that just a regular narrow? That's my next option to try.

I had to return them because they were too tight. They made my feet look like I was trying to squeeze sausage from it's casing. I loved the look but never left the house with them on. So disappointed.

These shoes fit in every way except the length. The toe area is about 1.5" too long. I'm sad to send them back because they are very cute.

I LOVE Bella-Vita, and usually I find they fit great. I tried THREE different sizes in this shoe and couldn't even come close. They are adorable, and I love the feel and give of the elastic, but in order to get the correct length, the width is freakishly narrow. Back they go!

I have a very narrow foot. The length was fine. The width was find as far as the shoe bed, but the straps were very loose around the ankle and wouldn't have looked right with shorts. Too bad as it's a cute shoe. Returning them.

Shoes are very comfortable; however, I think in time the shoes will stretch since there is no zipper nor lace to allow easy access.

Can't think of the other brand at the moment

Even with a bit of heel, this sandal is still a gladiator which is just not a style I'm fond of, so I didn't give it a fair fit trial, but if you're like me thinking it's not too gladiator-y, it is.

I really wanted to give these shoes a chance. I bought three different sandals in different styles by this brand and these were about a size too long. The weirdest thing. They were nice all around when I tried them on, but just too long. Maybe I will give them another try if they comes back in stock one size down.

Super cute and comfortable to stand in. I wish I could keep them, but my heel pops out way too much when I walk, so they're going back. Just as others say, they run long. I wear 11-1/2 to 12, and these 11's were the perfect length.

This is a beautiful shoe, but it is not true to size. It is at least one half size larger, and I am walking out of it when I try to walk.

I have ordered several Bella Vita shoes, and always found them to tend wide, even for my size EE This shoe was surprisingly too narrow.

This shoe is long for the size and the ball of my foot does not hit the widest part of the shoe. Very uncomfortable due to this. Very cute shoe, however.

No arch support, not cushioned enough to be comfortable. Like the height. The top straps are elastic, so has room to stretch if needed. In these I fall between wide and double wide. Also ordered double wide and my heel was too loose in double wide. I am returning them because they are not cushioned enough on the soles.

I wear 7½W. These were too long, and a little narrow, but because of the elastic straps, fit OK. There is not as much cushioning as I would like.

Love the style, but they are waaaayyyy too long! Bella-Vita seems to be very inconsistent in sizing, as I have (and love) other shoes from them that fit just great. But this is not the first style that is too long, either.

I liked the look of these on my feet, which are normally 8.5 WW. And they are sufficiently wide, but a little too long. I'm sorry to have to return them.

I really wanted to like this stylish sandal, but nope. It was a bit too high around my ankle, and my foot didn't sit on the foot bed evenly.
