I gave them 4 stars because of their fit, otherwise, everything else is good. I like the way they look, especially the criss-crossed straps vamp; I like the materials, too, especially the opalescent hue upper--which looks very pretty. However, the fit is so strange that, sadly, I don't think this style is for me. I had a pair in size 8.5M (width: 3-3/8&#34;; length: 10-3/8&#34;), while the width fits my wide feet OK, the length is way too long, I buckled the strap all the way in and it was still loose on my feet and there was about 1-inch gap between my heel and the edge of the heel of the shoe. I normally wear sandals in 6.5M-7.5M, depending on brands and designs. I sometimes can wear longer sandals as long as I could buckle up the straps to make the shoes stay in place. So if you have wide feet and are considering to get these, I'd recommend to go at least 1/2 a size up; I will also suggest that you'd use a nail or any professional hole-puncher for belts/ shoes to punch more holes on the slingback straps to tighten the straps to accommodate the length. If you have narrow feet, I'd suggest to go with your true sandal size (as this style is longer than others). On a separate note, the pieces of label on the heel on the insole on each shoe does not stay on well because they were glued on top a rough fiber material of the insole. So please don't be surprised if those pieces of label start to fall shortly after you wear these shoes.
