I love the sandals but can't wear them all day. The upper band is tight at least after a few hours. I will probably only wear out for dinner on a nice summer night. I'm usually an 8 1/2 and got a 9. Received many compliments.

Loved the look but didn't fit, too narrow and I usually wear a medium width.

These shoes are beautiful. I love the design, sparkle, and heel height. I returned them. My feet measure at size 7½ and I always order up when half sizes are not available. In this case, I ordered a size 9 (since I am essentially an 8 typically) because one reviewer said that they are narrow and to order up. So, I gambled and even though the length and width are not too bad for me in a 9, the strap across the instep of my foot is too loose. That is really no surprise since the shoes are bigger than my normal size. I will not order an 8, however, because even the 9 is a bit too narrow, especially under the arch of my foot, and my foot slides around. I am very bummed that I cannot wear these pretty shoes. If you have normal to slimmer feet, I think they would work out but I would only round up half a size.

Love this sandal. I get compliments every time I wear them. I wear them to work standing up all day with no problem. A couple of pieces of advice: - They are about 1/2 size smaller. I usually wear a size 6 sandal and ended up with a 7. Definitely size up as well if you have even slightly wide feet. - They do stretch. They were comfortable the 1st couple of days, but then got super comfortable later. I had a marking from the band the first few days, but now no more. Definitely worth the price. I ended up buying them for my mom as a Mother's Day gift and she's in love.

I was looking for a cute, comfortable shoe, with not too much "bling!" to wear to a formal birthday party next month. This one fit the bill. It's very cute in person. Unfortunately, the color clashes with my dress. Besides that, try as I might, I just can't walk in slides.

Have worn Athena for years. One of their t-strap sandals I wore for 3 weeks straight while walking and working daily to an Orphanage in Ethiopia. Comfortable! Like slippers! I was in my 50's! and can't live w/o them! In fact the strap just broke on a pair I had purchased in 2008! Quality sandal!

Very cute sandals! They are comfortable too! I took them to a kid's birthday party and was wearing them for 8 hours. My friends were asking them where I got them. They loved them!

These shoes fit perfectly in my usual size, while the other pair from the same company were too small even in a 9. These are quite comfortable for walking but they need to be broken in.

I love these! They are so comfortable even when I'm standing and walking often, and are my go-to sandals. I have several Athena Alexander sandals and love them all.

LOVE these shoes! I wear them with jeans and skirts. Adds height without hurting my feet. Ran small so I ordered up one size.

I really like these shoes. They are just slightly too wide for me, so I don't go dancing in them, but they are fine for just walking around and looking cute ;-)

I LOVE these sandals! They fit great and they are very comfortable and stylish. Usually the two do not go hand in hand. I love them so much i bought them in bronze as well. Here on Kauai, they can be worn year round.

These shoes not only look great, they are a nice neutral color that go with almost anything and are super comfy! The heel is not too high to make them uncomfortable.

These sandals are true to size and very comfortable! The rhinestones give them a dressed up look while being functional as well.

So sparkly! I usually wear a 6-1/2 in sandals and got this in a 7. Fits good. Only problem is on the right shoe the third strap is loose and falls forward onto my foot. It doesn't feel like the shoe is going to slide off my foot or anything, it just drives me crazy. The strap has elastic to stretch bigger but won't go any smaller. I'm a medium nearly-wide so I definitely wouldn't get this if I had narrow or flat feet. Sexy and comfortable enough to keep them, I just wish the straps were adjustable to make smaller.

These shoes are so pretty! They are very comfortable. They run a little small, but then again, maybe that prevents your feet from sliding all over the place.

I am very pleased with this sandal! It is comfortable enough to wear all day, yet is classy enough to feel beautiful wearing! (Definitely order a size up...I normally wear an eight, but I ordered a nine in this shoe, and it fits perfectly!)

These shoes were exactly what I was looking for -- comfortable, can be worn casual or for dress up, and a perfect heel height. These are the first shoes I have had from this company and I will certainly look for this brand in the future. Love these shoes. I wear a 6 and they fit perfectly.

As with all Athena Alexander sandals, they run 1 full size small. These sandals are very comfortable, especially since the heel is over an inch tall. I love the sparkles! Worth the money!

Love these. Bought them to wear to a wedding and they are perfect in the Bronze color. Could have used in 8 1/2 but still fits in the 8. This is the 3 pair of shoes that I have bought made by Athena Alexander...beautiful shoes, the bling is off the wall. The more bling the better.

So cute and comfy! But I don't think I can dance in them (a lot of your foot is exposed) I was shopping for a wedding so had to return these, but I am a true 10 and the 11 in these fit perfectly. If they were on sale I would've kept them.

These are my favorite shoes ever! They are so classy looking, feminine, and comfortable. I typically wear a size 9 and these are just perfect. I am surprised at how well they support my feet. The heel gives a very good height boost, yet they are extremely comfortable due to being a platform heel. Finally - a heel I can wear all day...and they go with everything from jeans to dresses. I will miss them come winter.

These are super cute. I bought my normal size and they fit perfect. Nice heel height. They come with extra stones just in case one falls out. Love them and they're dressier and the average black sandal.

I absolutely love these shoes. After reading the reviews, I ordered one size bigger than normal, and they fit perfectly. I wore these to a wedding, and received so many compliments, and best of all, at the end of the night, my feet did not hurt. Let me say it again...I love these shoes!

Love these shoes! Very comfortable and very attractive. I wear an 8 and it was too small so I ordered a 9 (no half size) and it was perfect. PS I NEVER wear a 9 and only rarely an 8 1/2.
