So these shoes are so pretty. I love sparkle, which is what drew me to them initially. However, when I opened the box, only one of the shoes were wrapped and and other shoe definitely looked like they have been either worn or tried on. It didn't have any tissue on it and the strap was undone and just looked a little disheveled. Also, the jewels are beautiful but they poke your feet a little bit. I am going to try and adjust the metal so it's curved up. And one more thing...The connecting strap on the side kinda bows out even when you're not walking... it's weird. I am a little OCD and this kinda drives me crazy. Not a total loss. For the price they sold for, compared to how much they cost in store- I'm not going to complain too much.The only reason these sandals did not get 5 stars is because the jewels in the front do in fact try to stab your feet. But I don't care. These are the most gorgeous sandals I have ever purchased and they look SO GOOD with my wedding dress. I am taking them to a cobbler (do those even still exist?) and getting some sort of glue or silicone or barrier put on the front star jewel so I can survive my wedding day. ITS WORTH IT!!!These fit as expected. I am usually a size 10 but ordered the 9.5 to save a crazy amount of money (about $100 difference in price!), so that is why I gave them 4 stars. I will be wearing these for my wedding and they should work perfectly! Couldn't find any other red shoes anywhere so Amazon came through! They came in great packaging, the shoe box was not damaged at all during shipping!Love these shoes!! The packaging was amazing- covered in tissue and even the crystals had tissue wrapped around them. Came with extra stones just in case any fall off and a little bag to keep them in which I love because I am going to be traveling with these to Mexico! I don't have to put them back in the box to keep them safe I can just use the bag which will save space in my suit case. I will say that these are narrow shoes, so if you have wider feet they probably won't fit as well or at all. I would absolutely recommend these!!Beautiful sandal, but the strap that fits across the foot is very snug. I'm not sure if getting a bigger size will help. I will be reaching out to the seller soon.These sandals are gorgeous! They are pretty narrow, so not the best fit for wider feet. The gems rub a bit, but because they are so pretty I will still wear them.You can tell the shoes were worn before I got them. That is my only complaint.Jewels hurt my feet, they fell off. Not a very durable product
