Customer Reviews Vagabond Shoemakers Essy

Looks good, but weighs too much. Couldn’t walk in these as the sole is completely stiff. Returned obviously.

These shoes are ridiculously heavy - don't buy them. They felt comfortable enough at home when I tried them on, a little heavy but I thought it would be no big deal. Wrong. After wearing them for 20 minutes they were totally unbearable. There was no problem with the fit - it was just the weight. Like having lead blocks attached to my feet. Wish I could return them, but I wore them so no go. :(

Love these sandals! I’d read a review that complained about them being heavy but I didn’t find that to be a problem at all. The first time I wore them they chafed the widest area of my toe box a little, but the next time I sprayed my feet with a blister prevention spray (Amazon) and they were totally comfortable all day. I keep the white bottoms pristine using a Magic Eraser sheet.

I wanted to love these sandals so much because I absolutely loved the style and the thick sole. I have worn heavy shoes before but I think in sandals it's a little different. It is more work to get around in a heavy sandal and these are heavy--they look it and they actually are!
