These light as air sandals are darling, and the length is just right for those who wear size 9 (or even 8.5 if your feet are wide), but there's too much of a gap between my skin and the top of the sandal if that makes sense! See the gap in the first picture above? I didn't notice that when I ordered them. I think this would be okay if your feet aren't as flat as mine because it would fill in the gap more. This is why I never wore them. I'm disappointed because they're really cute! My feet are not very wide, and I think these shoes would be better on a wider foot with a higher arch. I hope they can go to a good home!
