Beautiful and they fit perfectly! This is the second pair of Athena Alexander sandals and they are not only very comfortable they also relieve the stress of pain in my heel.

Cute wedge...but walks with a clunky, wood block noise. I wear a (2) children's & (4) ladies. So any (4) that fits me probably runs (1) size small.

Super cute...love 'em! But don't be afraid to size up. I'm a solid size 10 and, based on recommendations, ordered an 11 - and it's not a hair too large! These are a great "everyday" kind of summer sandal for the office. Comfy from the time I slid them on until I took them off tonight. The only odd thing is - I rolled my ankle several times today...not sure if the base is just a little too rounded or if I'm just too clumsy - either way, these are keepers.

Received the shoes the next day (love it!) and they are very comfortable. I wore them all day and would like to buy them in another color. They are also lightweight and run true to size.

Very narrow shoe, even though I went up half a size. It stays true to the width on the screen. Fantastic color, though! Regret not being able to wear them.

I ordered these in black size 7. I was a bit worried after reading several reviews on sizing up and that these are too narrow. I took a chance and ordered my regular size 7 shoe and am very happy with my purchase. At times, but not always, I can get away wearing a size 6.5 depending on the shoe, but 7 is my norm. These fit true to size for me and they seem to be a medium width as described. I have bunions on the smaller size which can cause pain in some more narrow kind of shoes, but these fit great and there is enough room width wise.

Really decent shoes! They felt a little narrower than what I expected at first, but after wearing them all day, they felt much better. The style is pretty cute, but nothing great, just very basic. Overall I'm giving these a 5, because they're really decently cute looking shoes, while still being comfortable (I bought these to walk about 1 mile or so to/from the bus stop) and so far I've had great results! I think Athena Alexander makes excellent shoes! Great quality and style!

This is a beautiful shoe, my second time buying Athena Alexander. They are lightweight, very comfortable and stylish. The yellow with orange accents can be worn with many other colors so that also makes this a very versatile shoe. Best order a size larger than you normally wear as they do run small.

Attractive shoe, but from the online picture I didn't think it was patent leather which makes it appear dressier. I'm keeping them anyway, but haven't worn them yet.

These are just the cutest shoes. Very comfortable and still dressy. I listened to the other reviewers and ordered a half size larger -- good thing I did. A half size larger fit great. I am strongly considering getting another pair in red!

Runs small and narrower than most medium sized shoes. I like the style, but not the fit.

Really cute shoes but they did not fit at all. Too small. I could barely get my foot into them.

Very nice shoe. I ordered size 4 and although the shoe says size 4, it did not fit. It was too big.

I read all of the reviews prior to purchasing, as there was quite a bit of concern regarding fit. I am a 7.5 or 8 depending on the shoe. So I ordered the 8 and a 9 to be safe. The 8s were perfect even a bit of wiggle room. Great for the office and I ran around all day doing payroll on the first day of wearing, with no "break in" issues. Extremely comfortable and cute!

Love these wedge sandals - super comfortable and go with everything! They run one size too small, so order up - I had to exchange my first pair, but Zappos got the new ones right out to me.

About sizing up - I ordered a 1/2 size up and ordered a 7 as advised. The width feels very comfortable but length wise they look like they are a half size too big for me. I am considering returning them, but am thinking 6 & 1/2 may feel too narrow. I think I will go ahead and exchange for my normal size because shoes do stretch after all. I would say if you have very wide feet then go ahead and order a half size up, but if you can endure a bit of tightness, order your normal size. They are cute and look well made. I suppose they do make some noise when I walk in them, but no more than other wedge shoes do. I own Gayle also (Athena Alexander) but the soles peeled in places. I did wear them (Gayle) all the time so that maybe why they peeled.

Love these shoes! Real pretty color. Make sure to order a whole size larger when you order! They are such a beautiful red.

For most of my life I have worn 8.5 AA shoes, but with age and weight my foot has flattened a bit and now I'm closer to a 9 B. I read that these ran small and ordered a 9, figuring that I'm between 8.5 and 9. Before they arrived I injured my left foot and my big toe swelled up, so when I got the shoes I was unable to wear them. In trying them on, even the right shoe felt tight and uncomfortable, so I decided to send them back. However, I am a big procrastinator and didn't get that done. A few weeks later, before finally bundling them up and sending them back, I decided to try them on again because I think they are really cute. I was surprised to find that they were much more comfortable. It has been a couple of months now and even though my left foot and big toe are still a bit swollen, these shoes are great. However, if I were to order them again, I think I'd go with 9.5. I ordered the red and the footbed is red as well, not black as pictured. I would have preferred it to be black.

I love them, and AAs are true to size. Unfortunately you did not have my size so I ordered half a size smaller hoping that they would work, but alas!

I always wear an 11. These were too short. I am returning them and ordering a 12 which I hope is not too long. I think they are a very pretty shoes.

Great color and not uncomfortable, however, the strap gap is not placed right for my toes and "pinky toe escape" is a deal breaker for me.

I love these! The width is a little too wide for my feet. The only thing is when you slip your feet into the sandals the surface is a little slippery.

I returned first pair because right shoe did not fit correctly. The replacement pair (which Zappos got to me in record time!) is fine except, to say that I have had many pairs of Athena Alexander shoes over the years and this pair does not seem to be up their usual high quality. The shoe is lighter in weight and just not quite up to par with the other pairs that I have owned. I hope Athena does not get too cheap with the manufacture of their shoes or I will stop buying their product.

Nice shoe but ran very small. I wear an 8.5/9 in a fitted shoe, but usually get a 10 in a slide. Right out of the box these looked tiny for a 10, and they did fit but barely - they were 1-1.5 sizes off. Returning for the 11, which I expect will be more like a 9.5.
