Customer Reviews Bandolino Madia

Heel was too high for me

They’re definitely true to size. I wore them around the house and could tell they were going to bother me over the toes. So I had to return them.

Cute shoe that can be dressed up or down. These shoes do run about a half size too big.

She was true to size. It’s beautiful nude patent leather not quite tan a little bit more muted beige tone. Very classy, however, not an all night shoe.

The shoes are exactly as described, but they are NOT gold. There is a hint of gold in the footbed, but that's not visible. The straps are absolutely silver. They seems like pretty good shoes, but I'm in a wedding and the bride is insisting on gold shoes.

Loved the shoes but I should have listened to the review that said the straps over the toes are very narrow. Tried to exchange for a wide, but they are out of stock. I hope they are restocked because the heel height and width is just what I want! Ankle straps with thick heels are not for me!

This sandals have a great heel that is not too high, they look very pretty, but they are too narrow.

I would have loved this shoe but it was super squeaky. I wanted to wear them to a friend's wedding, but was worried I'd made too much noise.

These are really pretty shoes, and I think they would be comfortable. However, the heel is quite wide. It is so wide, there is a noticeable gap. I do have a more narrow than average heel, but can typically wear a B width. Not this time. I am going to have to return.

Cute but I did not love them. They didn't fit my size 7.5 wide feet very well. Am returning. It may be that this style just doesn't work for my wide feet.

The fit and size were spot on! At 5'10" I don't spend a lot of time in 3" heels. I bought these for my 60th birthday party and brought another lower heeled shoe to change into. I wore the shoes around the house to break in the toe strap area, it started off rather stiff. After it loosened, I spent the majority of the evening in the Bandolino Madia. However, imagine my surprise the morning after my party when I found the same shoe on ZULILY at $29.00. Too bad ZAPPS doesn't match lower prices found the morning after. Make sure you do your homework, folks!

Very pretty shoe. I haven't worn them yet but the front toe strap seems a little tight... hopefully after wearing it loosens.

I love this shoe but, I needed an ankle strap that moves around so I could slide it to the inside of my ankle to buckle it and then slide it back to the outside. I have a bad back and can't bend to the left very far. The reason I purchased the shoes is that there are a couple of reviews stating the strap is moveable but it is not. I took them to a shoe repair store to see if there was some way they could loosen the strap so I could buckle it but they said the strap is glued and it would tear it up if they tried. Have to return and I am so so disappointed.

These fit great and were comfortable to wear.

This is a very pretty shoe, true to size. However, the gold mesh fabric is a silvery gold color, and looked silver with my dress. I needed a true gold, so had to return.

Loved the color and the style. The strap holes were not quite punched through so I struggled with getting the strap and hook to work... had to have my husband help me! But worth it for the cute shoe!

I'm a pretty consistent 7 but this definitely runs a little long. The 6.5 fit length wise but the tow strap was too tight. Style and price point are good but had to send them back because of fit issues.

Heel was a bit higher than anticipated

The heel was too tall and the fabric was uncomfortable.

Scratchy edges on my skin did not feel comfortable. The ankle strap back had the gold scratchy material up next to you heel/ankle and would immediately cause a blister. Not a chance am I keeping these :(

It’s a well made shoe and the perfect classy go-to. The toe strap was a little tight for me, so I’m returning. However the other pair of Bandolino’s I purchased were worn for 10hrs straight and my feet felt just fine!

I'm an 8.5-9 and these were the right size length wise, but they were WAY too tight for my foot where the strap across the toes goes, and my foot is very narrow in the back so going up to a wide wouldn't help. Beautiful shoe but the older I get the more I need them to be tolerable or I can't keep them.

Purchased the patent natural color. Color was nice, height was comfortable walking around my house however the strap on my left foot across the toes was a little too narrow, the right foot fit perfect. These were a backup for a wedding but will be returning because of the fit across the toes on the one shoe.

I got this shoe for my 17 year old to wear to homecoming with a cocktail dress. She does not usually wear heels but had no problems walking in these shoes. They are lovely on but we are returning them because she has a wide foot and also a short pinkie toe. Both of these characteristics were an issue with this shoe. The toe box at the end of the shoe narrows too much for a wide foot. The strap across the toes is a narrow, skinny strap as well. Her foot looked squished in the space and then because her pinkie toe is short, it was not covered enough by the thin, narrow leather band that goes across her toes. This being explained, if you have a narrow foot and longer toes this would be a good shoe for you. My daughter wears a size 7-True to size. Just width issues.
