These shoes are SEXY. PERIOD. Advice- 1) Zipper hurt on 1 foot, they will break in... small price to pay for sexy legs. 2) HALF SIZE LARGE (order a 1/2 size down from usual size). If you order 1 size down they wont fit. That's it.

These sandals look cheaply made, especially for the cost of them and the zipper is hard to use. I was really disappointed.

These are cute, but do not fit properly. I bought these in burlap. The picture online does not do it justice; they are actually much cuter in person. However, while the shoes are cute, the arch is really high so most of your weight goes to the ball of your foot and it can get uncomfortable. Also, I wear a 10 and I actually have quite narrow feet. Although my feet fit well in the bottom half of the shoe, the strap around the ankle is huge. The fit would probably be better if it was more snug, but I feel like they are going to fall off. Even with the zip they are at least two inches too big. I wish there was a way to take it in but I do not see how that is possible.

Great shoe! Certainly not too tall, I'm 5'7 and adds just the right amount of height. Very comfortable, easy to walk in...over A. Love the back zipper accent, definitely adds to the allure of the shoe. Great with both jeans and dresses. Even with untanned skin - summer yet to arrive - the nude color is very flattering.

Lovely fit, incredibly comfortable...these shoes are a must have! I ordered in the natural leather in a half size down and the straps were loose and the fit wasn't as good. Kept the black in my regular size and love, love, love them.

I had been eyeing these shoes for months after seeing someone wear them on the reality show Most Eligible Dallas. Finally took the plunge and bought them. Love love love. I bought the black and they go with practically anything. They will spice up any outfit. I compliments on them every time I wear them. I knocked off a star for comfort. The leather band is a little tight around my toes. I will have to take them to the cobbler to get stretched out.

Love this shoe! I just received these in the Florida Sand burlap color & they are the perfect spring/summer wedge! If you are looking for the one shoe in your closet that goes with pretty much everything - look no further! The styling of this shoe makes your legs look miles long (and I'm short!). They are really a beautiful shoe with excellent craftsmanship. I wear a size 8 shoe typically & bought an 8 in these. They fit well - length is perfect - the ankle straps are a tad bit loose but not enough that I would have needed to size down. I recommend sticking with your usual size in these so that your toes aren't overhanging! These shoes are definitely worth the price tag - I can foresee getting a ton of use out of them.

I was so excited to receive these shoes, but contrary to the reviews I had read, I did not find them comfortable. I have fairly slim, bony, flat feet, and what was interesting was that my "good" foot, the one where my bunions have been removed, did not fit into the front of the shoes, whereas my bad foot did. Either the 2 shoes were differently made, or these shoes were pushing my feet into a position they shouldn't be in. They went back.

Absolutely gorgeous! I thought about returning them for a 1/2 size smaller as others suggested, but then I realized the extra space is perfect for when your feet swell after wearing them ALL NIGHT LONG! They are so comfortable and they make my legs look great. It's so nice to be eager to wear a sexy pair of shoes and not have to worry about my feet hurting.

This is my first review! Yay! I love these shoes! They are beautiful and are very comfy. I wore them to a derby event! The grass was easy to walk on but the pebbles much more difficult. I have no problem walking around on a normal surface either. They look and feel awesome! (The leather strap did rub my baby toes the first time i wore them, but a little bandage fixed everything.) I usually wear an 8.5 in heels and 9 in sneaker because my feet are narrow...the 8.5 fit perfectly. I also received many compliments...which made it worth every penny! I am now...without a doubt...going to order more colors!

Each spring I buy myself a really nice pair of shoes to wear through summer. This spring I bought these and I LOVE them! Not only are they beautiful and modern, but they are comfortable. Thrilled to add them to my collection.

Holy smokes, Batman, these shoes are gorgeous! Advice for future buyers: if you have narrow feet, buy a half size smaller. Your feet will slip around in them unless they're a little snug. What also helped me: those little foot petals placed in the balls of the sandal gave me some extra cushion, security, and stability. I actually am usually a size 11 in flat sandals so I was going to order a 10.5; however, that size is rarely made so I got a 10 and after the foot petals they're comfy and lovely. Definitely worth it.

I have these amazing shoes in 5 Colors! I get the most comments on the Crackled patina. They are super sexy and super comfortable -- what a great combo! Can be dressed up and dressed down. You are walking on a solid foundation -- no tottering. Do not be afraid of the height. I have 8 screws and a plate in one of my ankles from a tennis accident and can still wear them no problem for hours. Make your legs look amazing.

I am a true 7 1/2 in shoes, but I'm so glad I followed those who said order a half size down. The size 7 is perfect. I gave 4 stars for comfort, because they rub a bit at the zipper. These shoes are so gorgeous, you could honestly wear a pair of gym socks with them and no one would notice the socks.

I'd been wanting these sandals for quite some time. So, I finally purchased the "Brown Burlap," because of the after the price reduction. After receiving them, I tried them on and they were a little "tight across my feet. So, I wore them around the house with socks to stretch them and mold them to my feet for a few hours (yes, Burlap has to be stretched too!). A few days later, I wore them to a family gathering and they looked and felt great! I was so pleased that I didn't want to take them off. This is definitely a pair of sandals I will treasure forever. DVF is Awesome! Thanks Zappos, you ROCK!

Awesome shoe, worth every penny. The materials look so high quality, I got it in red. Leather is luxurious, heel is perfectly finished. I wear 7.5-8 and have a medium to wide foot, 7.5 was perfect.

Very cute, okay on comfy factor, foot slipped a little too much to the end. I have "normal" feet (not too narrow or too wide). Sad, they are going back to Zappos.

I love these! I wore it an entire day, and did not get blisters which is rare for a new shoe. I did add blister pads on the heel area to help prevent. So stylish lots of compliments! I wear a 5.5 or 6. I bought purchased the 5.5.

I bought these in the Platino Crackle Metal (gold) color in my normal size 6 1/2. They were comfortable but NOT attractive on my petite foot. The shoes overwhelmed my foot and looked sort of cheap. The straps are way too industrial looking/wide and the whole shoe made my foot look bulky and my legs look stubby - the OPPOSITE of what I expected them to do, especially given the height and neutral shade. I returned these shoes. I imagine if you are tall and have long legs these would work for you. If you have short legs (I'm 5'2) don't expect them to elongate your leg or make your leg look skinny like some other reviewers have stated.
