Wonderful shoes. I had wanted to buy them for a long time, but their price and the reviews describing them as uncomfortable put me off. Although I was very apprehensive because I bought another pair of sandals from the company that took me two years to get used to, these pleasantly surprised me. On the first day they felt stiff, and I was afraid they would rub, but after wearing socks with them for just two days, and not for very long, and applying a little leather conditioner, they became some of the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. The only drawback is that they’re relatively heavy, but I don’t notice it when I walk, and they don’t tire me out. And let’s not forget that they’re gorgeous! I’m very happy with my purchase, especially knowing I’ll have them for years
