I’ve been living in these boho-chic sandals all summer, and they’ve quickly become my favorite pair. The moment I slipped them on, the soft leather upper hugged my feet like a second skin—no blisters or break-in period needed. The beaded ankle straps add just enough sparkle to make me feel put-together, whether I’m pairing them with a flowy sundress or denim shorts.

What surprised me most? The arch support! After a full day of walking through farmers’ markets and beach boardwalks, my feet didn’t ache like they usually do in flat sandals. The rubber soles gripped wet pool decks without hesitation, though I did notice the toe strap requires some adjustment—it felt snug at first but molded perfectly after about 30 minutes of wear.

The true test came during a weekend trip where I clocked 15K steps daily. While the gold accent bands occasionally needed repositioning (they can dig slightly on uphill walks), the cushioned insole kept me going. Pro tip: If you have high arches or wider feet, consider sizing up—the straps run true-to-size but aren’t overly stretchy.

After two months of near-daily wear, the beads remain intact and the color hasn’t faded, though I did swap out the original thin straps for wider ribbons on one pair for extra comfort. These aren’t just pretty vacation sandals—they’ve handled city sidewalks, garden parties, and even surprise rain showers while keeping their charm (and my feet happy).
