We would buy this sandal again. The lock is a nice bonus. The are the perfect size for the space that I had. I returned them for a 12, and then they fit like my original 11s did. I should have paid closer attention to the many negitive reviews. My recommendation: if you want a shoe that will look fly for an event or two, these are a decent pick, but if you want to use this look as part of your regular wardrobe then look elsewhere: the breeze from a butterfly wing can take the color off these puppies ?? JEAN I love the stack boxes because I dont ever save the regular shoe boxes and it saved me alot of room in my closet. Will definitely be ordering another pair! Sorel be gone!
