Customer Reviews Bandolino Madia

These are very pretty and I'm keeping them to wear to a special event, but let me assure you they are NOT comfortable. I marvel at all these folks who are apparently impervious to pain who seem to be dancing all night in these shoes. Not happening. But I can probably walk from the taxi to the boat dock and sit at my table in them without starting to bleed. Also, the gold is barely gold. At first I thought I'd been sent silver by mistake. It's definitely a white gold not a yellow or rose gold.

I normally don’t wear high heels and have trouble finding heels that I can walk in AND are comfortable. These shoes are amazing for both reasons!!! I love them, and would definitely recommend trying for your self!

Comfortable for a few hours but started to hurt after walking around in them for a bit.

Very cute! But had to order three pairs to get the right size. I recommend getting one full size smaller

I wanted to order a light color nude patent leather so I ordered Natural Synthetic which looked close to what I wanted but sadly when I received it, the color was more of a light tan/brown... darker than what I hoped for and not a clear light colored nude. Back to the drawing board! Thanks, Zappos, for your generous return policy.

Beautiful shoe however had to return due to it was a bit big.

Loved the shoe but, Too narrow for my foot. Usually mediums fit me for bandolino but this one is extra narrow. And, you don’t carry Wide most of the time. Why?

I really liked these shoes, I ordered the sparkly gold ones. The one issue I had was the material was kind of rough. I was worried about it rubbing on my heels all night while I was at a wedding. I wore band aids where it rubbed and then was able to dance all night. Otherwise the fit was great, true to size.

These shoes are great! They are so stylish and are fairly comfortable for high heels.

These are nice heels. The have some padding which makes them more comfortable. The toe strap is a little small. I have a very narrow foot and it works for me but it might not for others. The color is a little off not what I was expecting but I still like them. Hope they will comfortable for the wedding I'm in.

I ordered these and the Sam Edelman Patti in nude colors for a wedding. They look very similar in terms of styling, height, quality, and comfort. The main difference is that the toe strap is thicker and the color is a little cooler. I decided to go with these because they aren't leather, which is great for animal lovers, and they are less expensive ($40 less!) than the Sam Edelman Patti's. Very happy with the purchase and the classic styling. I'm sure they will get a lot of use.

Gorgeous show but I found the toe to be too narrow. The strap really puts a lot of painful pressure on the pinky toe.

bought this beautiful shoe for a winter formal dance. Not too high and comfortable for dance. Given the nude color, it should be versatile for many dressier occasions. It does fit a little loose in the heel, probably depends on where the strap hits your ankle.

Tight across toes

There is glitter everywhere once I took the shoes out fo the box. Quality does not look the best.

Nice design but I am returning them because they felt half a size “longer” than a size 8. It felt like my foot was too short for the shoe. The band around my toes squished the width of my foot. I am 5’4” and wear size 8 shoe. Nice shoes at a good price, but not the right fit for me.

The shoes are cute. However, the heels were not too high. But they were uncomfortable with just minimal walking. I purchased pads for the balls of my feet and my feet were burning. I also experienced some swelling across the feet where the stripes are and in the ankle area.

The toe strap is too far down the shoe. I have other brands of this exact style and these were painful. The strap just barely caught the tip of my baby toe nail. I wore them 1.5 hours for a wedding and had to take them off because of the toe strap.

It was a little big in length but narrow. I don't wear a lot of heels and I felt very unstable even though the heel is not that high. They also had what looked like a glue mark on the back which could not be rubbed off because they are glittery.

The toe band was oddly REALLY far forward on the foot. The narrow width only mattered in that my foot was hanging off both edges of the shoe.

Front strap too tight.

Another reviewer said these run narrow and I agree. The length is fine just the footbed and strap are a bit narrow across the toe. Also they are NOT gold. They are SILVER throughout but with a gold insole on the footbed which I don’t really see while wearing. Cute style though and they’re comfortable “enough” to get me through the upcoming holiday cocktail parties and weddings.

the shoe is not Gold it is silver I like the shoe but wrong description

I rarely try on a size 9M shoe that doesn’t fit me perfectly. These beautiful shoes were way too narrow.

The band across the top hit my foot in the wrong place giving me a weird/narrow/tight fit. Couldn't wear them more than a few minutes. Cute shoe. Hated to send them back
