text: Sorry Dsquared2...hate to give you this rating but I wish I knew what I'm about to tell others before buying these. I'm a HUGE Dsquared2 fan with closets full of their gear - primarily jeans and shoes.<br /><br />Comfort: attach nylon straps to a couple 12&#34; wood 2x4s and you'll have the same level of comfort as these. I totally get sometimes you trade comfort for style and have done so but this is becoming increasingly rare these days....however, for sandals like this...really? No excuse to not have them more comfortable - at least not be completely flat and give some arch support. These do not look great enough to make a style / comfort tradeoff even with the large printed Dsquared2.<br /><br />Style: they're Ok, not great but I knew this when I bought them. What I didn't know is the straps are far too long. I don't have tiny or super thin feet - pretty average size 45. The straps are so long they overhang by a 2-3 inches in back and nearly 2 inches on the other two. I'd really have to cut them to make them wearable and look right...but really no way to cut them cleanly. My guess is either they are for more chunky feet or it's the style dsquared2 wants though they didn't look like it on the runway.<br /><br />They do look great in the pic the other reviewer posted - maybe I got a bad pair or he's just lucky they work for him...bummer for me. The comfort is a deal breaker for me so I'm not going to bother trying to exchange them, I'll just send them back.<br /><br />Again, sorry Dsquared2....sometimes fail happens to the best of us.
