Okay, confession time - I now own FIVE pairs of these Gigi sandals. That's how obsessed I am!
The first pair survived three summers of abuse - beach trips, city walks, even a music festival mud pit situation (RIP white pair). The leather is surprisingly durable for how delicate they look.
For sizing: I'm usually an 8 but went with 8.5 because my feet swell in heat. The adjustable ankle strap is genius - once you set it, just slip them on and go. No fuss!
Comfort level? Walked 15k steps in NYC last week with zero blisters. The footbed has this magical cushion that makes them feel broken-in immediately.
Style points: They make my stubby toes look elegant (miracle!) and go with EVERYTHING from jeans to sundresses. Currently loving the pearlized pink pair for date nights.
Only warning - the patent leather version shows scuffs more easily. Stick to matte finishes if you're hard on shoes like me!
