Customer Reviews Bandolino Armory

The light gold synthetic is a very strange material. It looked molded - like there was a powdery white film on them. Also ordered in the Rose Fabric and that one is perfect and gorgeous.

I was disappointed in how the shoe fit my foot. The toe strap seemed too far forward on the shoe proportionately . It made it not comfortable and did not look right on my foot. Cute shoe... wish it would have worked.

This shoe is a great less expensive alternative to the storied Stuart Weitzman Nearlynude. Unfortunately, the strap across the toes was too narrow for my wide foot. I think it would be fine for someone with a normal width foot, which is why I wrote that it ran true to width.

Wanted to love this shoe as it is very pretty (silver was sparkly and elegant) but the strap at both the front of the shoe and ankle were just too tight to be comfortable. I have worn other shoes by this designer and previously loved the fit, so this was disappointing. Sadly returned.

The color and shine of this shoe is my favorite of any in this style. I truly love the look of this shoe. I just wish they'd make two versions, one in a heel 1/2 or a 1/3 as high. People who's feet hurt in high heels still love great colors and shine. I think this shoe is so pretty but I knew the awful feeling of suffering in heels this high wasn't worth it.

Cute shoe in a great color, but the 6.5 was just too big.

I wanted to love these shoes. The style is adorable and the price is great, but my feet were sliding all over the place in these! Even with the ankle strap nice and tight, I guess the design is just so flimsy that it doesn't really hold your foot in place. If I bent my ankle sideways I could pull the entire side of my foot out of the shoe and onto the floor with the toe and ankle straps still in place. This might work for an evening that involves standing and maybe a little walking, but for a party with dancing, there was no way these would stay on. Too bad, because they're so cute.

The bottom plastic base of the heel fell off after 1 wear and is lost--like the style so had to reorder again.

Admittedly, I do not wear heels. I am strictly a flats/comfy shoes girl. However, I had a formal wedding to attend and needed shoes to go with my dress. After reading reviews, these seemed to fit the bill so I ordered them. I found them to be narrow, but it was doable so I went with it because the block heel was sturdy and I didn’t feel like a wobbly baby deer when walking in them. But then I actually walked in them - 10 minutes and about 2 blocks away, my heel hurt so badly I had to stop - and when I looked down I discovered that the strap/back had rubbed my heel raw and I was bleeding all over!! I had no choice but to make the best of it, as I was already at the reception, but I barely got up off my chair the rest of the night and couldn’t wait to take them off! Cute if you’re standing still, but if you actually plan on walking or moving - not so much.

Perfect color, good looking shoe, but strap across toes was too loose and allowed foot to slide forward causing friction.

These went back. I thought they were the best looking of the ones I tried, but were the most uncomfortable by far. The sparkly navy part feels very abrasive and they weren’t quite as cushioned as the others. So sad because I really hoped they’d work.

The picture does NOT match the shoe. We thought we were getting a flower print on the shoe. Instead it was all white.

The heel back was too high and stiff and cut into my ankle

The back/ankle support hit my feet wrong. If I would have worn them, I would have definitely ended up with a bad blister. They had to be returned. Style would have been perfect for what I needed them for.

I wear a size 7 and have an average width foot. The length of the shoe fit my foot, the strap at the toe is extremely tight for an average width foot. They were so uncomfortable they were not wearable for 5 minutes.

Strap across toes was extremely tight! So uncomfortable. Heel height was good; great color.

very tight & uncomfortable, not very much stretching room for someone with wide feet. Very disappointed in how they fit, especially after reading reviews before purchasing.

So gorgeous and so painful. I traditionally have found Bandolino really comfortable, but these were evil on my feet. I couldn't even walk around the living room with them on. Felt sharp and tortuous, which was really a shame on account of their sparkly deliciousness. Was sad to return them. Bought Nine West Pruce instead, which were the same basic idea, not quite as beautiful but at least not painful.

Way too sparkly? for what I needed.

I love this shoe, the color is unique sort of taupe cream and it has a great heel height but - the toe strap is just too tight and since it's man-made material I knew I couldn't have it stretched. Unfortunately I had to return them. I wish they made them in a wide width. I normally would wear a medium width.

Such an odd fit... I wear a 10 but these were a bit too long, and the arch was really forward. then they were too wide around my heel but the ball of my foot was hanging off the platform. Too bad because I wanted to LOVE them.

Extremely rough and scratchy

This hurt my feet.

Beautiful shoes - unfortunately, so very uncomfortable across the top of the foot -- the strap edges are very rigid and hard, almost sharp. Cuts across all toes. Still need a pair for a wedding coming up in May. Back to the drawing board ;-)
