Best Summertime Sandals
I discovered this magical sandal about three years ago. At first, I was a little put off because they looked to me like something my rotund French aunts would wear, but I was completely sold once I put them on. They're actually very cute and can be worn with pretty much anything. I lived in these sandals (bronze color) that first summer and got tons of compliments everywhere I went.It's true that the soles could be sturdier - they were pretty much destroyed by the time the weather started to turn - but what do I know? Maybe the light weight sole has something to do with how comfy they are? I really feel like I got my money's worth out of them. The following summer, I purchased a second pair in bronze and wore them out too. This year, I'm so ready for the warm weather. I got TWO pairs - bronze and... call me crazy: black.Now... for a pedicure. Hrrrrm.

Cute, comfortable shoes but they get stretched out and loose
So, I also have these in red without the back strap. Took a couple tries to get the size right but, if you are an 8.5 shoe size the 39 will fit best. (They might seem a tad small but will feel right in no time) They’re so thin and soft that there’s no breaking in time. They are immediately comfortable. Now, I love the red ones but the leather is so thin that they stretched out very quickly, becoming loose and difficult to wear. My feet slip right out of them and, because they are on the wider side in the first place, there are no more holes to tighten down the toe-top buckle. (Also, when you do tighten them, you’ll expose the part where the buckle wore off the leather paint in its previous position) So I bought these white ones hoping the presence of a back strap would keep them on, even once they stretched out. Well, not really. I can keep tightening the buckle on the back strap tho, so there’s that, but I imagine I will run out of holes there too. Still, these really are so cute and the foot bed is very comfortable, especially for a shoe with a bit of a wedge heel. The metatarsal support bump feels weird at first but you get used to it right away. So comfy, I was even able to wear them waitressing for about the first month, but by then, they were too stretched and loose to be secure, so now they are just for around the house or going out. I may try to find tiny grommets to put in the buckle holes and see if that makes them stretch less. If I can do that, I will update this review. Btw, my feet are pretty average width, perhaps, slightly wide, and I can assure you, these are NOT shoes for narrow feet.

Started out great, but went downhill fast!
These fit great, and looked great, for about a week. Then they stretched waaaaaay out and the cork started separating from the foot bed. I've had these shoes for under 3 weeks and they are now unwearable. Pretty bummed, as they are cute and were comfortable.Also, lesson learned, don't go and buy two more pairs of shoes based on how a shoe fits after a day! I purchased two other different styles of Worishofer's, and both of them have also stretched to the point of being unwearable. I'd quite frankly be ok with this if they were $20 shoes, but certainly not for shoes that retail upwards of $70!

Comfortable As Heck, But Wear Out Fast
These shoes are so comfortable. It's like walking on cork clouds. And since comfort shoes are all the rage now in fashion you can pull them off with just about anything and where them anywhere and people will think you're hip and sensible.The downside... they stretch out rather easily and thus the heel strap slips off your heel and starts to feel more like a flip flop than a sandal. Also the peep toe in the front can be a rather awkward cut out. You'll essentially see just a toe or two popping out and it's not exactly the cutest look, especially if your second toe is equal to or longer than your big toe. Also the materials are not super sturdy. These sandals will last you a season, maybe two if you're quite careful with them and don't wear them everyday. Otherwise the sole will wear down and they'll get dirty very quickly.

Very comfortable shoe.
I own two pairs of Worishofer and needed another for work. These are very light and comfortable. You can adjust the straps (both) and tailor the show to your specific size. I did notice that with these shoes, the material is a bit softer, so after wearing the shoes for a day, they felt a bit loose. So I tightened the straps and now they're perfect. They're light enough that I can walk around in them all day and not worry about my back or feet hurting at the end of the day. My only concern is that they won't last as long as the other pairs that I own. I wanted these to be my daily shoe for work, but I think come November (about three month mark) I might need to find a new pair. These are a bit expensive, but worth the comfort and compliments.

Very poor quality!
Terribly disappointed in the quality of these. I have another pair of Worishofers purchased over a year ago that are still going strong, so I took the comments about the quality of these with a grain of salt. Huge mistake! After just TWO wearings, the back of the heel has worn down and cork is beginning to crumble from the wedge. I don't know how this could possibly be fixed, or what I could have done differently. In addition, though these are the same size as my older pair, length-wise they are over half an inch shorter. They also seem cheaper than my old ones, with a plastic-y feel -- I know that they are supposed to be leather but they are making my feet feel sweaty in a way the older ones do not. Again, so disappointed and the only good thing I can say about them is that they were cute, the first day I got them...

Great shoes, great price
I love these shoes. They are comfortable and cute. They only really hold up for one season, but they are light and comfy, so I'm okay with that. I wear them to death from spring to fall in California. They are a perfect shoe to go with any outfit... from jeans to dresses. This summer I took these shoes to Greece, one of three pairs I packed along with me for two weeks and they were a perfect travel shoe.
