i loved the look of this sandal, especially the way the leather folded around the foot. The sandal was true to my size, 39 (I wear an 8.5 in US sizing. I will say that the shoe has a tight fit although it loosened with a day or two of wear and now it is perfect. If you have a smallish shape to your foot this is perfect. I had been concerned that the straps would be too loose and my foot would slide through. But the straps hug my foot perfectly. I love the cushioning of the sole and it is very flexible to walk. The sandals do not feel heavy on the foot at all. I highly recommend these sandals for the comfort and the look.
