Customer Reviews Bandolino Edition 8

Very wide shoe and runs large for sizing. Unattractive in the elastic around the foot, though that does make it more comfortable. Wide toe box and round toe. Not super flattering for bit feet.

Cute flats for the price. Run a bit small. I would size up a half size.

Great color, great style- but just VERY wide. I loved the show online and looking at it when it arrived but it is way too wide in the middle of my foot.

These are so cute and comfortable. They are more sparkly then what the picture shows. I bought 3 pairs ( teal, gold, and leopard.) I wish they came in yellow and olive green too. The band around the top is flexible so they don't rub your feet- no "break-in" time needed.

My new favorite flat. Dressy without fuss. Only complaint is with consistency. I bought two pairs: the leopard (which fit perfectly right out of the box) and the teal (which I assumed would also fit the same but which did not). On the teal pair, one shoe is smaller than the other, which wasn't noticeable out of the box but which became noticeable after wearing it and rubbing a blister on the back of my ankle. Can't return now, but can't wear, so that is disappointing. (Hence less than 5 stars). But I am very happy with the pair that does fit the way they are supposed to.

Nice color/print (I got the teal). "Comfortable" in the way that being barefoot is comfortable -- in other words, the shoe doesn't rub my feet anywhere. However, there is zero arch support, and very minimal padding under the heel and ball of the foot. I won't be wearing these on days I have to do a lot of walking or standing. But fine for when I'm mostly at my desk.

Cute, but very big. I've owned other pairs of bandolino shoes before and don't recall them running so large.

This shoe is extremely comfortable, I felt like I wasn't wearing any footwear. I'm returning these however because I want more structure in a shoe.

Very nice shoes. They are soft and the "natural leather" color is a really nice neutral. I need a bit more cushion and arch support so I won't keep them, but for people who like a less structured shoe, I think it would work well and be a very versatile addition to any shoe collection.

Just got these today and wish they fit. All of my bandolino shoes are an 8.5 and I ordered these in an 8.5 and they are definitely a half size too big, if not a whole size especially since you don't want flats slipping off your heel. They are pretty so I am going to order an 8 and hope those fit.

Was looking for the perfect pair of black leather ballet flats with a flexible sole and sans bow, because bows are for kids (thank you very much!). This pair fits the bill! I normally wear an 8.5, and my feet are on the wider side of medium. The right shoe is a little snug on my little toe, but they are butter soft, so they are breaking in nicely and fit well aside from that little problem. There is no real support for the foot in this shoe, but that's impossible to find in a true ballet flat. I am just happy with the hyper flexibility of this shoe, and that it has the little bit of elastic around the inside of the opening, so as to avoid the awkward gapping around the midsection of the foot like so many ballet flats do when walking. I do wish the leather on this was just a bit more matte finished because the shoes would appear less dressy, but overall very happy with the purchase. I will likely purchase another color soon. Thanks, Bandolino and Zappos!

These are very comfortable and fit pretty true to size. The soles have a bit of cushion but since they are flat there is not arch support like you may find in another type of shoes. Color and shimmer were about what I expected based on the images online. When I purchased these I also purchased: Roadie by Blowfish, Really by Dr. Scholls, and Edisson by Bandolino. In comparison, the Roadie felt slightly shorter in length and my toes were touching the very front (I returned these for being too small). The Really felt too snug and rubbed painfully on the top/inner side of my foot. The Edisson (same brand as the Edition) felt slightly longer (~¼"-½" of extra room behind my heel) and much wider/looser - I returned these.

Very comfortable. Very much in style. Great versatility. I love these wear with anything flats.

These are pretty comfortable. I did have some irritation on my second toe from the shoe rubbing my toe. The sides of the shoes do tend to stretch a little. But I did find them soft and comfortable mostly. I would buy a second pair in another color. The color and style of the gold ones are great.

These are great but do lack the coverage I needed for an ugly bunion. Otherwise would keep!

Very cute, light and comfortable. I think I'll need some kind of liner since they don't look like they are equipped to be worn with bare feet. I wouldn't wear these if I were going to be on my feet for hours.

Nice, basic black flat with good attention to detail. They are quite comfortable. I wear between an 8.5-9 and kept the 9. For some reason the 8.5 slipped.

Shoe is very comfortable, and true to size. However, the front of the shoe is very low and shows part of your toe area, atleast for me. I will be returning these.

These shoes are very comfortable and the color and style are very nice. However I do not recommend them for walking around MANHATTAN as I feel they do not have enough of a rubber sole for support.

I have a very hard time finding flats that are comfortable. So often, I get blisters on my heels or the tops of my feet where the shoe rubs. I can usually tell when they will rub and give me blisters, and I thought these would work. Well, I have to say they do rub a bit on the heels, so I put inserts there, and they are better. I think they just need to be broken in for awhile and then they will probably be fine.

Cute shoe, pretty much zero support, but I knew that would be the case from reading other reviews. I vary between a 9 and a 10, so I ordered a 9.5 which was a good fit except that it's a bit too narrow on the outer edge of the pinkie toes.

This is really comfortable and doesn't rub my foot anywhere, but the balls of my feet were sore after an evening of moderate walking in these. Very cute on.

These are adorable flats, but they have some sizing inconsistencies. I ordered a 7½, which was a tiny bit big. I then ordered a 7 to see if that would be better, but it is actually just a hair bigger than the 7½! Both pairs rub the back of my heels, so I am going to send them back. Too bad, since they are really cute and otherwise quite comfortable.

I wear a size 6.5 99% of the time. The 6.5 in these felt right at first but turned out to be just a little too tight to be really comfortable. I ended up wishing I'd gotten a 7. I left them at my parents' home for wearing on visits. Hopefully they will eventually stretch out.

The shoes are super cute and comfy. You never know what to expect when you order online but they are surprisingly comfortable!
