Reviews

Love, Love these sandals!

"I am a keen wearer, and was so happy they came up with these dressier sandals! Just returned from Europe and wore them all day on hills, annd cobblestone streets and they performed beautifully- comfortable!!! I read reviews and got them 1/2 size larger than my normal size and they were perfect!"

BUY THEM NOW!

"These are my second pair. These shoes are a categorical, unquestionable, yes. Comfort beyond words. I would wear these to Disney world, like instead of sneakers. If you’ve ever been to Disney world, that tells you all you need to know."

My favorite sandal

"The Elle sandal is still my go to sandal from early spring to late fall. I have narrow feet with high arches and problems with my Achilles tendon. The excellent cushioning keeps back issues to a minimum and the stretchy straps gives me a supportive but comfortable fit."

— Jenny E. (5/5)

Great quality and are actually comfortable

"I always read reviews for shoes especially sandals, I have the hardest time finding sandals or shoes in general that fit my feet, I have very wide feet and sometimes even shoes that have reviews about shoes being wide still do not fit me well or at all. So I am always skeptical. These sandals are amazing! I am a hairstylist so I am on my feet for long hours at a time. They are cushiony yet supportive, the hair doesn’t collect on the bottoms(iykyk), the straps are super soft and just the right amount of stretchy, I have worn these to work everyday this summer and they are still in great shape! I could not recommend these enough!"

Comfortable and Look Good

"I have three pairs of these shoes: black, dusty olive and birch. The newest pair, the birch, does have a stiffer back strap than the other 2 purchased previously, but is still comfortable. QUESTION: What is the best way to clean these? It wasn't an issue with the other two pairs; however, I already have a spot on the front strap of my light colored birch and am not sure how to get it off. See photo."

Italy bound

"I/m going to Italy & a Mediterranean cruise - needed a shoe that could handle the cobblestone, irregular terrain but still be stylish. These fit the bill. Love them from the first time i put them on. Fit my size 8 1/2 feet perfectly. Well worth the price. Thank you!! ,"

My favorite shoes

"I have size 11 wide feet, bunions, fallen arches, pronation, and generally sh***y feet. These are so comfortable. I wear them almost constantly in the summer. I got them after a friend recommended them and then recommended them to another friend and now all three of us by a pair or two every summer. Wore them to Europe for 26k+ walking days and was still super comfy! Please please please release black with a black sole next summer! My one complaint is the white sole gets dirty so quickly with how often I wear them."

— Laurel (5/5)

A tiny bit small

"I really like the style and initial fit. I wore them whilst on a trip where I wanted to wear something besides sneakers. I got the 8. 5 wide since I have flat feet and I don't want my feet spilling out of the edges. When I tried them at home they fit perfectly but after wearing them for a few hours, my toes started to slide forward and they'd be off the footbed. So I had to grip my toes to keep them on the footbed. It made it unnatural to walk. Besides that they were comfortable. Id probably get a 9 next time."

Q&A

can i wear my Elle backstrap sandal on the beach? I'm looking to avoid packing flip flops.
Hi Meg, the Elle Backstrap can be worn on the beach, but we recommend limiting exposure to water due to the foam insole.
