Earth Origins Nellie

I bought these to replace a worn out pair of my favorite shoes of a similar style, and I honestly love these so much more!! I am normally a size 8 or 8.5 and the 8 fits perfectly, so if you are between sizes I would suggest going for the lower size. They are super comfortable, and the arch support is mild but helpful. I would also like to note that they are cuter in person!

First these are nice leather shoes, attractive, well made and comfortable. What detracts from these shoes, as reported by another reviewer, the heel strap is longer than practical. It makes the shoe too loose. I'm not sure if it would be a problem long term, but I'm not taking chances and I'm sending them back. The toe box is very spacious, which I liked for an aged pair of feet, making them very comfortable. I practically never pay shipping and took a chance and paid $4.99 shipping so I'm out that. Amazon is giving me free return shipping. Hurray for Amazon. I wonder if these shoes are seconds because of other reviews saying the heel is loose. You decide if you want to take a chance.

I bought a pair of black Earth Origins sandals VERY similar to this about 8 - 10 years ago and have loved them. They are finally wearing out so needed to be replaced. Knowing styles change I was very happy to find these as they are close to what I had.The fit is perfect. It's not warm enough to wear them yet so I am hoping that the comfort and lack of chaffing I experienced while trying them on holds true for more extended wear. I am happy to have found these.It is only fair for me say that the quality of this shoe is markedly less than the ones I had. It's just so obvious that the soles will not hold up nearly as long as the other pair I had. I think the price was similar but I'm betting I get just 4 Summers out of these. In my view, apparel in general, has really declined in quality in the last 10 years unless you want to pay big bucks for clothes and shoes. I don't.

These are SUPER cute. I bought them to wear on a trip to Philadelphia during which I would be doing a LOT of walking. Unfortunately, the strap that goes behind the ankle was really abrasive and gave me severe blisters so I could not wear them. This may have been due to the fact that there is a seam where the leather is sewn right at the back. I tried adhesive moleskin, but because it was Memorial Day weekend and super hot, it melted off pretty fast. When I got home, I took the sandals to a shoe repair place and had the moleskin sewn in permanently. I haven't worn them for a full day yet, but I did wear them around the mall where the shoe store was located and they felt infinitely better. I will be wearing them again to an outdoor festival so they will certainly get more use.

Love these. MAKE sure you order a half size smaller! I order wide to take care of summer swollen feet. These are a super soft leather-no need to break in. Perfect if you spend a lot of time on your feet or walking. These are great office sandals for those that can’t wear an open toe to work. I only wish a bright white was available

Just got them in the mail and rather disappointed, the sole is comfortable but they aren’t very flattering. The toe box is more square than I expected and I am not a fan of how much “toe cleavage” you can see between the straps. Similar to other reviews, I agree that the ankle strap is much too loose and would definitely cause rubbing over time. Overall I will be returning them as they don’t match my style well enough.

I do believe these are seconds. one shoe was curled upward at toe and even though I wore around house to try and flatten it stayed curled. It cause ankle pain so I returned.

I was really looking for a casual sandal that was a step up from flip flops but not super fancy- something you could dress up or down. I originally purchased these for an upcoming trip to Italy in September but I have worn them a few times since I purchased them and I am happy with them. The color is true to what is pictured and they are really cute sandals. I have slightly wide feet and after reading reviews I purchased a wide, and they fit me perfectly. In terms of comfort, I feel like I have support but I've only worn them for a few hours at a time so it might be too soon to really know. I feel like when I go to Italy in a few months and wear them for 8+ hours at a time, that will be the true test and I will update later if anything changes. I'm usually a size 9 and after reading reviews I went down a 1/2 size and I think I might have been able to size down to an 8 in these. The strap in the back is non adjustable and while these sandals stay on and aren't sliding off my foot, I do feel like they are a little loose and could have been a little more fitting. Again, since they do stay on and don't slide off I am not taking any stars off as I feel like that is a minor thing but I would definitely recommend buying at least a 1/2 size smaller than your usual size if you purchase these. Overall I really like these sandals and can't wait to wear them more.
