This is the first neutral review I have written for Ralph Lauren sandals.  There is no visible LRL branding on the brassware and the strap across the front is a little tight. I have maybe 1.5cm space at the front of the sandal and my heel sits right on the back edge.  Given that it's leather it will stretch with wear, however it was not comfortable straight out of the box (which was the case with my previous RL purchases).  I will be keeping it as I love the style but I have to say I was a little disappointed this time.
