“I ordered these sandals just before a 3-week trip to Italy with my husband and 2 young kids. I made the mistake of not wearing them in before the trip so the first few days of wearing them were painful - I had blisters on my pinky toe and the back of the heel. It’s a gorgeous sandal so I persevered with the help of gel cushions. They worked with every single outfit that I packed so I really wanted them to work. Fortunately by the 4th/5th day, they were the most comfortable sandals! was walking a minimum 15k steps a day and wore them 90% of the time during the trip and they provided great support.”
