Let me start by saying, these sandals are a game-changer. I've struggled to find fashionable shoes that don't leave my feet screaming after an hour, but these? I wore them for a full day of city exploring - from brunch to shopping to dinner - and my feet felt fantastic.

The chunky lug sole gives just the right amount of height (I'm 5'2" so every inch counts) without any of that wobbly heel anxiety. The platform is wide and stable - no narrow wedge nonsense here. I actually felt confident walking on cobblestones!

What surprised me most was the adjustable ankle strap. As someone with wider feet, I usually have to size up and deal with slipping straps, but these have multiple buckle holes that created a custom fit. No rubbing, no blisters - just happy feet.

Bonus points for the two-tone design making them versatile enough for both jeans and dresses. The only tiny drawback? The white foam sole shows dirt quickly, but that's easily fixed with some creative spray paint (learned that trick from another reviewer!).

After my first wear, I immediately ordered another pair in black. These might just be my go-to summer shoes - comfortable enough for all-day wear but stylish enough to turn heads. If you're debating - just get them. Your feet (and your Instagram feed) will thank you.
