L'ARTISTE BALHARBOR SANDALS

Buy 2 sizes larger

I had to return my size for 2 sizes up. Then I had to settle for orange instead of the preferred blue I originally ordered due to limited sizes. Thru are very comfortable with lots of support once I got ones that fit my slender foot.

Comfortable BUT

This is the second pair I got, not in preferred blue because the blue was too small and my only option was orange. So to save return shipping, I gave them a shot. The problem is I normally wear a 40. I had to increase to a 42 in hopes it would not be too tight and short. The 42 is wide enough for toe comfort (note that my foot is narrow). But the length barely increased enough for my foot not to hang off the back. I wore them all day and they are fine. I just hate the inconsistency in sizing. This used to not be a prepping as i have bought several pair sandals over the years. I'm not sure what changed in manufacturing. But something did. If you insist on charging shipping to return a pair that does not fit, at least give the option to trade for a different style in same price range if a wider selection of sizes in a particular shoe is not stocked. I have sunny praises on this brand from the first pair I bought that fit and needed no breaking in period. I love the designs. But the size inconsistencies are beginning to wear me down.

Didn’t work for me

I needed the lower strap to be adjustable, due to wide feet. Otherwise, it’s a beautiful sandal, great resort wear.
