This is a beautiful sandal, but much too expensive for the materials used. The smell of synthetic is very strong and I think it will aggravate once you wear the sandal in hot days. The sole is very heavy and makes walking in them uncomfortable. The Zappos' service was the best, as usual.

The beading looks over sized in reality, and it gets a bit too close to skin, therefore hurts, returned the shoes. Otherwise, the quality is very good.

Love them! So much that I bought turquoise, too. I almost missed out because others. wrote they were too heavy, cheap and hurt. Not true! They fit like a normal thong and you have to get toughened up with the strap between your toes. Every time I wear them I get compliments!

The shoes fit true to size and is stunning. The jewels are more blue and matte finish than sparkly, but the silver strap adds sparkle. The jewels don't hurt or pinch my feet like a few reviewer's mentioned. The shoes are extremely flat with no arch support, but that is what I expect with all beach flats. Even with the flat foot, they are still comfortable. I bought these sandals and Steve Madden's Shiekk as potentials wear for our beach wedding. I ended up choosing the Steve Madden because they matched the wedding dress better, but am still keeping the Ivanka Trump's to wear for the rest of the summer and the wedding week.

I ordered the same shoe in regular, but my feet hung over the sides. So I ordered the wide and there was no difference in the size of the footbed, but the straps were more roomy, which I didn't need.

These are cute and comfortable! I wore them for the first time tonight and walked into a party and three ladies wanted to know where I got my cute shoes. "Why, Zappos VIP of course!" One lady even asked to try them on!

These sandals are awesome! After I received my first pair, I ordered them in two additional colors. They are soft and comfortable from the minute you put them on, no break in time necessary!

These run small. I am always a 6.5 wide, and these were too short. Returning them for a 7 wide. I just looked at another pair of Timberland sandals I've had for a few years, and I notice they are also 7s. So maybe a good idea to order half a size up.

Comfortable right out of the box! Can wear all day without discomfort. More sporty/casual in appearance as has very matt finish.

I thought this would be a cute flip-flop "upgrade". I was so disappointed. The width was a bit narrow and I have narrow feet. The straps were sooo loose. Even tightening the buckle didn't help. I also bought a half size larger based on some other comments. This shoe runs short so a half size larger would be my recommendation.

There seems to be a sizing issue that originates with the manufacturer of this shoe. I ordered my usual size, 5.5, and as soon as I took them out of the box I could see they were at least three sizes bigger than that! Yet the box was marked 5.5, and inside the sandal, the size was blurred and unreadable. This isn't Zappos' fault, but I let them know when I returned the sandals, because they'll keep getting that pair back if they send it out as a size 5.5.

The shoe is well-made and has a very good arch which allows comfort to my feet and legs. The color was not what I expected and wasn't excited about it. Off white? They were dark beige at best and dirty looking. I kept them because they feel good in the house.

These thongs are so comfortable; it's like walking on a sponge! The light beige is a nice neutral that would go with just about anything. The strap is adjustable. They run true to length and width and even have good arch support. You can't go wrong with these sandals.

Ordered 3 different styles, the first two didn't fit right these were great from the moment I put them on, for me they ran true to size. The red of the upper is different from the inner sole, not as bright as I would have liked.
