text: I got these for a steal on Amazon -- well, a steal for Cole Haan prices.  These sandals look well made and they are.  The color looks the same online as in person.  I wear an 8 1/2 and I was borderline whether or not I could have worn a 9 in this style.  If you are in-between, go up the 1/2 size.  I've noticed that a lot of sandals this summer are narrow and these don't give a lot of room for error in that respect.  The only issue I have with these is that the slippery nature of the shoe bed rubbed under the ball of my foot after wearing them for 2 hours.  I like them but they were not comfortable after the first 2 hours.
