This is my first purchase of sandals from Bearpaw. I've bought boots from them bit not regular shoes.So, here's the skinny.I'm absolutely in love with these sandals. They are very stylish, and look great. The zipper in the front is sturdy, and stays put. The cork instep makes for a very comfortable sandal. The high back doesn't rub against the ankle, and is at the perfect height. Some others I have did.I'm a perfect 6, and although my feet are a little wide, they're not hanging over the edge.They are a beautiful shoe.
