Customer Reviews Swedish Hasbeens Mirja

Once I got these shoes they are cute. Felt like I would not get enough wear out-of-them

I really wanted to love these, but ultimately sent them back. The fit and style is perfect. I have a high arch, and even though there isn't much arch support, I still found these sandals to be really comfortable. The fatal flaw, however, is that when I walk it sounds like I have rubber boots on my feet. I have never had a pair of leather sandals squeak at all, much less squeak with every step. It sounds ridiculous. At this price point, I sent them back. If you can get over the sound, they are super cute, but people will hear you coming long before they see you.

I have a very narrow, thin foot and I expect that shoes are not going to fit, and these were no exception. The base of the shoe is actually on the narrow side, which is great for me. The strap around the ankle also fit me fine. It's just the upper, the part that goes around the top of the toe/foot area was too wide, so my foot slid forward and a couple of my toes slid out of the shoe. Not a good look or comfortable. However I think if you just have a typical narrow foot rather than extremely thin and narrow, you'd be fine with these. The look of these shoes is very nice and stylish, however I was surprised that the leather quality (tan) looked cheap-- thin and water-stained-looking. I also ordered the Merci sandal (silver) and they looked and fit much better. I recommend that one for narrow feet over this one. Also the silver leather is thicker and looks higher quality.

I LOVE the style of Hasbeens, just what I was looking for. Zappos was terrific with one day free shipping too. I am a 7 1/2 in most shoes & the 38's fit perfectly. The ONLY reason I have to return is the fact that there is NO arch support. I am a teacher & on my feet all day, so I need some type of support. For those who don't need what I do, I would say give them a try. They appear to be beautifully made, with remarkable craftsmanship.

WOW! These shoes are super cute BUT they are so loud and squeaky I would be embarressed to wear them out of the house! I can't comment on the long term comfort but they are a nice style and the color is really pretty and would go with lots of different outfits.
