No break in period and my feet didn’t hurt at all!!! A must buy if you want something trendy and comfy. I got the gold and it matches with everything." — Sonyap4

"Great quality material and comfortable." — BeverlyFerguson
"Most reviews say order half size up, but i went ahead and ordered my true size and it fits perfect! I love the color and I love the platform! Gives me a little bit of height boost! It's not heavy! I love it." — chachacha
"Cute and comfy." — SusieY
"I love these because they are light rubber, monochrome black, a bit slimmer than regular Birkenstocks, and I can wear them near or in the water unlike regular ones!" — Abakh
"These are really cute slide sandals! Also very comfortable. I wear a 7.5-8 and since there were no reviews to go by I decided to take a chance on a size 8. Well they fit perfect! The leather is beautiful. Glad I made the purchase." — BFoster
"Super comfortable and classic. Love them." — ColinTaylor
"I loved these strappy sandals since I saw them on The Drop, but I never imagined they would be so comfy too. I always need cute sandals to dress up my outfits because I love wearing jeans and tees." — BiancaReyes
Shopbop
"These are the perfect light shoes for Spring. I am between a 6.5 and 7 and 7 felt the best. I would recommend waterproofing the shoe to keep them in the best condition. Very comfortable to walk in and they go with everything. There was no breaking in necessary. People compliment them all the time." — HRLady
"Everyday, comfortable shoes. Love them, but order half a size larger especially if you have wide feet and they do end up stretching." — Leena
"Super excited to wear these! They are super comfortable (to my surprise), unique, and minimalist. I am a size 9 usually and they fit TTS. The straps were comfortable, and the shape of the shoe is trendy and interesting. I really hope that the straps hold up as I'm loving them!" — tswiss
"A must have! Casual but stylish, love my Chucks!" — Sandra212
"Very comfortable and true to size. Looks very good in person." — Kassidy
"I love these shoes! Before I ordered them I'd always heard that supergas run big... They do! I'm glad I ordered a size down. Even the full size down is nowhere near 'snug' on my foot, but they are comfortably loose so I am keeping them. You wouldn't want to walk around a city in these but they are comfortable for casual strolling! I do have narrow feet." — kepare20
