I have wider feet that are also slightly different in size, so I am always looking for a sandal with adjustable buckles and straps that won't turn me into swiss cheese. I also prefer real leather for stretch, durability, and potential for repair. These sandals are made of thick, soft leather and are able to adjust to all my needs! They blend a classic style with a touch of edgy, architectural detail in the sole. The cushion and stability made them comfortable to walk in right out of the box, no blisters, no rolled ankles! I couldn't be happier with the quality and style. I will wear these for years!
