Featured Review: (by CinaBeena), Although I checked a few negatives it is only based on my initial days wearing the sandals. If strapped to tight they will cause a blister on your Achilles tendon area, so it is better to strap them slightly loose. Which I learned day 2, now I keep them buckled at the second notch. I find I get maximum comfort. The shoe does scuff easy but like my husband said they are Timberlands…it gives them that rugged look. They leather relaxes considerably and I have debated getting another pair in a 1/2 size smaller so that it doesn’t feel so loose around my feet area. All in all I LOVE LOVE LOVE this sandal. It’s very comfortable especially once broken in and you can basically wear it with anything. Jeans, shorts, skirts, maxi dresses…I have not stopped wearing them since I purchased them. Even in the rain I have worn them, which the leather does remarkable well in, you just have to get use to the feel of wet toes. I would highly recommend this to the female that needs a sturdy every day or once in a while gladiator sandal. I will be getting the all black and multi colored ones as well. I do not regret this purchase at all.
The shoe looked great on a blog I read. The great thing about the shoes are that it’s colorful. The not so great part is that the straps around the ankle are uncomfortable. My ankles aren’t thick, yet the straps felt tight even though the elastics are meant to stretch. The shoes were possibly made with a food mold that had strangely wide feet because the width of the shoe was far too plenty. The shoe literally hung off my foot and had a 1-1.5cm gap between my foot and the sole when I was hanging my feet when cross legged. I don’t think I would recommend this shoe. It is very cute, but unfortunately misfitted.
