Okay, let’s talk about these raffia platform sandals. First off, the *look*? Chef’s kiss. The woven texture and gold buckle details had me feeling like a coastal grandma in the best way. I wore them to a rooftop brunch with a linen dress and got three 'Where are those from?!' comments before the avocado toast arrived.
The comfort surprised me—after a *slightly* stiff first wear (like, 'are these made of cardboard?' stiff), they molded to my feet. I’m a wide-footed gal, and the adjustable straps actually worked without cutting off circulation. Major win.
But PSA: Size up! I’m usually an 8 but my toes were doing a subtle cliffhanger over the edge. Also, that awkward 'fart noise' with every step? Real. I fixed it by dusting baby powder under the straps—glamorous, I know.
They’re not Ugg-level cushioned, but for $30? Perfect for short walks or looking cute at summer weddings (just maybe skip the dance floor).
