Customer Reviews Bandolino Edition 8

This shoe seems to run small. I normally wear a 9, and when ordering a 9.5, I still need to go up to a 10. They are comfortable, but try sizing up at least a half size, if not a whole size up.

I love these shoes! But they were just too tight

These would have been good - very stylish. But even going a 1/2 size larger than usual my toes bumped up against the front.

I think these shoes are so cute, and they are quite comfortable for walking short distances. They do fit a little smaller than expected, and they are definitely not good for wearing if you are going to be walking fat because they are very flat, with no arch support. If I bought them again, I would size up a half-size.

I have long, narrow feet and toes, so it’s admittedly hard to fit my foot. The 7.5 was too small in the toe, but my foot slipped out of the 8. If they’d fit I would have really liked them. They seemed comfortable, and I loved the metallic fabric.

I loved the look of this shoe, but in the end decided to spend a few extra dollars for the Born Juliane, which was much more comfortable.... and had a little arch support.

Normally wearing a 10 1/2 medium, I took the advice of others and ordered 1/2 size up. With many of my dress shoes I order a narrow and tried the same with these. Very comfortable shoe with adequate arch support. Unfortunately, my big toe touched the end of the shoe and when I took a step the sides of the shoe bent out. Even my spouse commented it looked like the shoe was too big when I walked, even though I never stepped out of the shoe. Really thought this was a cute, comfortable everyday flat that would work well with jeans, pants or skirts. Very sad to have to return them.

Does what it needs to do— easy and comfy flat. Much darker in color tone than picture indicates—not quite what I was expecting, but it will do.

I love the look of the shoes...it's exactly what I wanted; an understated neutral flat that I could wear to work and easily wear to jeans. I also travel a lot and these should be good for running through airports. HOWEVER (the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5), I am a solid size 8 shoe with no other issues (not wide or narrow feet, no foot problems, etc) and have several pairs of size 8 Bandolino shoes that fit perfectly but these are AT LEAST a half size small. My toes are all the way at the end. I know for some flats similar to these (like the Tieks I own), they will stretch, but these are too uncomfortably small for me to attempt to stretch them out. I like them enough that I will exchange them but I'm actually contemplating an entire size up and not just a half size. That's how small these are. Once they are the correct size, I anticipate these being quite comfortable.

I love this shoe but it runs pretty small and narrow.

These are cute and I like the elastic around the shoe - too small overall (size 7.5) but I'm hesitant to get an 8 because that might be too big.

Lots of compliments. Front of shoe is too tight and squeezes my feet. But overall really like these for work.

These shoes slip on and off with ease. They feel great, as I stand at a desk all day and my feet don’t hurt a bit in these shoes.

My go to work shoe! Not the most fashion forward but super comfy!

Really pretty shoe, unfortunately a little too narrow for me. I'm not sure that going wider would help in this case. Beautiful shoe if you have a more narrow foot.

Too small! Toes cramped and I am always comfortable in a size 6. I will be returning and trying a 7. Soles are padded but no arch support.

The gold metallic was really cute, but I had to return these as they were just not comfortable on my newly-post-surgical feet. The toe box was narrower than expected and stiffer than I could tolerate.

I have made several attempts to find a navy shoe I like and ordered the Bandolino Edition in two sizes. When the shoes arrived, I was not impressed with the quality. The shoe was attractive and the color I wanted but the sole was somewhat flimsy and I was afraid they would not hold up over time. I returned the Bandolino and bough Clarks Neenah Garden in navy and the Clarks are much more substantial shoes (and also more expensive).

Cute shoe but the toe bed is too short and makes the shoe uncomfortable.

Wear these daily for work. My work makes heels impractical but requires professional attire, and these are comfortable.

These are really cute and seem a good value! A little tight so I’m going to order 1/2 size bigger and see if that works better.

It was cute in the picture but it turns out they have an elastic ribbon around them which just makes them “old lady “ shoes IMHO

I got these in navy which is not a very dark navy but not bad. I found these to be shorter than my normal size and a half size bigger may have worked better for me. The do have a rounded toe so if you have a wider foot these might work for you. They have elastic around the edge which, to me, does not look very stylish. I notice a lot of ballet flats have that and I don't like that look. There is a patent leather stripe along the back which is cute and gives a nice look but doesn't make up for the elastic, IMO.

I bought two pairs of these, one in navy blue and one in black. The navy blue pair fits perfectly, while the black pair feels about a half size too small. Go figure. These looks just like the photos and are of a soft, malleable leather. I would buy again but would probably size up a half-size.

Cute shoes, but had to return due to feeling very tight, both in length and width.
