Let me start by saying these sandals are STUNNING in person. The blue embellished toe strap adds just the right amount of sparkle without being tacky - perfect for weddings or date nights. I wore them to my cousin's outdoor ceremony and got so many compliments!
The 3-inch block heel was surprisingly comfortable for strappy sandals. I danced for hours without that 'I need to take these off NOW' feeling. That said, the sizing is tricky - they run small. I'm normally an 8 but had to exchange for 8.5. If you're between sizes or have wide feet, definitely size up.
My biggest gripe? The quality control. While mine held up fine, my friend's pair had a strap snap during her first wear (at her own wedding reception!). For $125 shoes, that's unacceptable. The beading does look expensive though - no cheap plastic vibes here.
Final verdict: Gorgeous statement shoes worth buying on sale, but maybe keep the receipt and bring backup flats just in case. Perfect for special occasions where you'll mostly be sitting or taking Instagram photos, but I wouldn't trust them for all-night dancing marathons.
