“These are beautiful sandals. I wanted to buy them ever since I saw them and took the opportunity to buy them on sale with no returns. I bought them to only wear in the house. They are taking a very long time to break in. They are stiff and slightly too small. My shoe size is very consistent--71/2. I think and hope they will break in soon. As they are now, they are not that comfortable. Since I can't return them, I'll keep wearing them.”
