Plaka Palm Leaf Flat Summer Sandals for Women | Perfect for The Beach Walking & Dressy Occasions | Gold | Size 9

These sandals arrived on my door step less than two months ago and I really wanted to love them. I love the look and how light they are on one's foot. However, there are several downsides to this sandal. 1. Although the straps are quite comfortable and very adjustable this sandal is not particularly comfortable. It is completely flat (which I knew while clicking the "buy" button) but not that flexible at first. They can take a while before you feel like you are walking on anything other than cardboard. That said, I did get used to it. 2. This is gross, but I would have liked to know before purchasing: the "leatherette" footbed can get slippery if your feet get sweaty on hot days and as a result a bit slippery if your foot isn't completely snug. 3. While dealing with both points one and two, I got some quite uncomfortable blisters. Granted it could be that I walk funny and don't even know it, but I don't have this issue with other sandals. Aside from these complaints I was still able to wear them a bit, on hot days that I didn't plan to walk more than a few blocks at a time.But my final disappointment? I have not worn them everyday in the 49 days I've owned them, but already the right sandal is falling apart. It's a pathetic complaint, even that of a masochist because I just outlined how much I don't like the shoe, but they could have at least lasted longer! The right shoe is falling apart (from the tip of the toe to half way through the arch) and it doesn't seem to be worth the effort of gluing together.

Night before: air outDay one: no fumes. Slipped them on in seconds. The rest of the day was spent adjusting the straps to find the sweet spot. Some discomfort across the top of my feet. See pictures 2&3.Day two: more comfortable. Soles are thick enough for support and bounce without being clunky. See picture 1.Any shoe needs breaking in. These are already favorites. Good quality.

Love these, have gotten many compliments. I'm a solid 8.5 with most brands Nike, Pumas, Skechers, Adidas etc... I also have abnormally narrow feet lol. I bought both the 8 & 9, and chose the 9. My heel was hanging over the 8's which I dont like. The 9 fits comfortably and isn't terribly loose. I took pics of both sizes for y'all. Hope that helps!

Beautiful Sandals. When I first saw them I didn't think they were going fit my wide feet, but they did. I love them.

These are so incredibly comfortable! The weave is soft and there are no places that rub uncomfortably.

I ordered these in size 8 in the "sweet ivory" color and in size 9 in the "sunset sangria" color. The 8 fit, but my foot spanned the length of the entire foot bed leaving no margin for error. The 9 was a better fit and I really love the sangria color (the sweet ivory was a good color too). They are comfortable, and I would recommend them.I normally wear an 8 W or an 8.5 regular width.

These are super cute, casual sandals for kicking around this summer. I have wide feet and they fit me fine. A really excellentchoice for a flat summer shoe.

I usually wear 7.5 and got the 7. Fit fine. These are super cute and comfortable. The ropes are smooth and stretch so easily adjusted. Nice padded sole but no arch support. I wore them all day and they were fine so seems the padded sole does the job. I've ordered 2 more pairs in different style and colors. Seller sends me an email each time to see if I'm happy. Like that!!

These sandals take a little bit to break in but very cute and actually very comfortable. My only dislike is that I’ve only had them for about a month and a half and the bottom...

These are really cute. I get so many compliments on them and they are actually more comfortable than I had expected.

Came in used but that would not have bothered me since the quality looked great. Could not fit my foot in it due to the lack of stretch available and my foot was to wide from the...

These deceptively simple sandals are exceptionally well designed and extremely comfortable. I ordered one size larger than I normally wear, based on the size chart, and they fit...

My wife loves the style and the fit, she cant wait to wear them on the cruise we leave out on tomorrow!

I gave these to My Daughter of Love, as a gift, & she loves them! She has stated she has received numerous compliments & everyone wants to know where she purchased them!

They fit as expected because I read other reviews that said to buy a size up. Typically I wear an 8 or 8.5. Bought a 9 and they're great. I've gotten tons of compliments.

Beautiful and comfortable sandles. I usually wear between a size 5 and 6, I ordered a size 5 and they fit perfect! I love the sandles, their made of good quality.

I walked all over New Orleans for 4 days. They did not give me blisters and stayed on my feet really well.

Love my sandals! I purchased one pair that arrived with a twisted strap that had been sewn in incorrectly, but the company quickly offered a discount on a new pair.
