Customer review: “This is the first time to try Loeffler Randall footwear…When I tried them on, I couldn’t believe how well they fit my foot. The straps were placed in the right places. The arch & length of the sandal was a perfect fit, and the padding in the arch made them extremely comfortable. They have a very elegant look & the decorative orbs are a perfect touch. I am so excited about everything about this sandal. It may be silly to you, but wearing them just makes me feel good. I definitely recommend them to anyone. I am going to order them in black also. They are worth the price!”
