I wanted a pair of nice pool shoes for a trip to Europe, and though I've never owned &#34;Jacks,&#34; these were cute online and solid black, so I decided to give them a try.<br /><br />The only other Jack Rogers I own (I bought them at the same time) are the metallic wedges, so I can't compare the fit to the other flat sandals, but these fit really loosely. The length doesn't seem to run big, it's how much room there is between the sole and the top of the straps. It doesn't fit snugly against my foot, so it is constant effort to keep them on. I do have a narrower foot, but I've never had that happen with sandals.<br /><br />My other complaint about this (especially since I bought them with the intention of being around the pool and water) is that these are incredibly slippery. Like, don't walk down stairs slippery. There is no grip, to the point that I fell down our wood stairs because my foot slid out from under me.<br /><br />These are really cute, and I wanted to like them (I bought the solid black with the little hold stud accents), but they are so poorly fitted and slippery that I'm just going to list them on eBay for a loss. Totally impractical.
