Sandals are best for those with regular to narrow feet. Fits true to size otherwise (I have on EU40) Hands up if you’ve ever found yourself coveting an item for *months* (maybe even years 👀), only to finally buy it and find out it just doesn’t work for you? 🙋🏻‍♀️ It highlights how important the actual “try-on” is… as part of discovering what works for you is trial and error, the other part is just how the item is cut (a detail that can sometimes be tricky to judge on first glance). And, to avoid wasting time mulling over an item that will never end up working for you, it also highlights how useful it can be to check out the item - or a similar piece if it’s not readily available - ahead of time. On paper, these sandals were everything I was looking for; minimalist design, dainty straps with a low heel, in an easy-going slip on style. But what I wasn’t anticipating, was just how narrowly cut they are. I’m not sure how obvious it is from the try-on, but I had quite serious overhang on both sides - a common problem when trying to buy “dainty” sandals when you have wide feet 😩 While I lamented the fact that these were not right for me, it was an easy “no” because no matter how much I’d try to make them work, I’d never feel good wearing these sandals. And if I’ve learnt anything over the years, it’s that these are the things we end up avoiding wearing at all. TLDR: basically, don’t settle for things that don’t make *you* feel *your* best, and if you can, try items out early so you can rule out options that will never be a winner for you.
