Being unaccustomed to wearing ultra thin-bottomed, hard-hard soled sandals or shoes, these really take on a LOT of impact if you tend to walk hard and fast as I do, but after adjusting my gait to suit these shoes.  I'm wearing them to work right now after having initially primarily buying them for a semi-casual social event.<br /><br />I have very short feet with a narrow heel and broader ball of the foot and toes.  I was a bit worried initially that my pinky toes would actually hang off the edges of the shoes but to my delight, my pinky toes just simply reached exactly to the edges.  I usually wear a size 5-5 1/2 in most true to fit shoes that require no additional insoles, and I'm updating this review to a &#34;slightly small,&#34; vs &#34;Fit as expected&#34; since I realized only AFTER submitting my review, I'd actually ordered a size 6 since I usually can get by with a 6 and 5 1/2s are rare, and despite looking at the bottom of the shoe while I was writing this review originally.  The number, *&#34;36&#34; is printed on the bottom, whatever that means in American size translations, but in this case, apparently &#34;6&#34;* if a shoe is true to size, which these seem to run like other shoes I've bought that come from UK originally...1 full size smaller than American &#34;made&#34; shoes).<br /><br />It was clear when I tried them on, I would not be able to stand or walk for any length of time or distance in them due to the lack of impact absorption and ZERO arch support, but for the occasion I bought them for AND the excellent price and reasonable delivery time, these sandals are a delight, and are a solid quality of hard jelly-like construction with rhinestones that even if they try to come loose eventually, seem as if they should be extremely easily reattached since they are a strip of connected rhinestones it seems.<br /><br />I would definitely buy these again, I unfortunately feel obligated to ding them in retrospect due to the realization they are NOT trueto fit as I thought, even though that was an advantage for ME.  I know that will not be for most other shoppers.
