Let me start by saying these sandals are *adorable*. The cross-strap detail and round toe give them a chic, minimalist vibe that pairs perfectly with sundresses or casual jeans. I got the magenta/hot pink color, and it’s even more vibrant in person—total vacation-mode energy!

**Comfort? Surprisingly great!** No blisters or rubbing, even after 6-7 hours of wear. The straps feel soft (though some reviewers mention sweat-related rubbing), and the cushioned insole is a dream—like walking on clouds. But heads up: the sole is thin and flimsy. Don’t expect arch support or durability beyond one season.

**Sizing is TRICKY.** I’m usually an 8.5W but sized up to a 9 based on reviews. Smart move—the toe box runs narrow, and the length is snug. Some say they stretch over time, but if you have wide feet, proceed with caution. One reviewer’s pair even made a *whooshing* noise with each step (yikes).

**Traction? Meh.** They’re not slippery, but the sole lacks grip. Fine for city strolls, but I wouldn’t trust them on wet pavement. Also, the “leather” (likely synthetic) feels smooth but cheap—don’t expect luxury.

**Verdict:** Cute, comfy, but *flawed*. Perfect for short-term summer wear if you size up and accept the budget materials. I’d buy another color… but only on sale.
