Okay, so I finally caved and bought these Mtzyoa bow sandals after seeing them all over Instagram. Here’s the real tea ☕️:

First off—YES, they’re adorable. The bows actually stay put (unlike what some reviews said) if you adjust them properly. I got the nude ones and they matched EVERY summer outfit—dresses, shorts, you name it. Major win for vacation packing!

BUT… comfort is… questionable. The jelly material is softer than expected (not that cheap hard plastic), but after 2 hours at a beachside café? My toes were doing the awkward grip-of-doom to keep them on. Zero arch support, and the soles are as flat as my ex’s personality.

Size tip: Runs true-to-size but SUPER bendy. Felt like walking on floppy pancakes—almost tripped twice! Keep these for poolside cocktails only unless you want a free foot workout.

Final verdict? 7/10 for cuteness overload but -3 points for making me walk like a newborn giraffe. Would I repurchase? Maybe in another color… but only if they invent a ‘supportive’ version!
