I purchased a pair of these sandals in June from a local store. They are the most comfortable sandals ever. Wanted to purchase another pair and the store did not have them, so they recommended I go on-line. I found Zappos and they had my sandal, at a lower price. I ordered them immediately and now have a second pair for next summer. I would live in these sandals if it were not for the winter months with snow.
My first Katys were WW. Now I have a pair of 8W. Instep straps are gigantic. A broad forefoot doesn't mean that we have elephant ankles. That said, my blue suede 8W Katy sandals are my favourite sandals. I must wear orthotics. As long as I can add my orthotics I will have the support I need. I need matte silver. I have white hair so I wear silver all the time. These sandals would be more worth the price if the strap problem was solved. I have read the same complaint on this sandal from other people.
The product was just as I expected and fit well. I packed them for vacation. When wearing the I found a manufacturing flaw on the left foot on the seam near the big toe. Worried that this rip will expand. Not acceptable for a shoe at this price.
