text: I usually wear size 8.5 in sandals but the size 9 in these fit me fine. The sandals are a gorgeous vibrant orange color that is still sophisticated. And the design is flattering and sexy but keeps your foot snug on all sides. Unfortinately the footbed was SO hard and inflexible! I felt like I was wearing wooden clogs. Now, I must say that I do have VERY picky feet and high arches so usually I buy expensive comfort sandals from Born and Clarks so may be I am too spoiled. But I didn't think I could wear this for more than an hour. Also, I was scared I'd twist my ankle in them as I felt a bit unstable. The wedge tapers down in the back quite a bit and they are overall very high so if you are not used to wearing tall thinner heels these might be scary for you. I have never worn skinny high heels. But I can manage well-made thicker heels and these did not feel safe for me at all. In short, despite being a wedge they felt like a regular heel to me. Combined with the hard footbed I just did not think I would wear them much so I returned them. However, IF you don't have picky arches AND are comfortable in regular high heels and are not intimidated by 3.5in height do give these a try as in terms of style they are to die for.
