Great Sandals
4.19.2013-
"I got these sandals in the nude color. I've only worn them a few times, but I've walked in them, and they've been great so far. My feet are kind of wide, so I was worried they would be too narrow or pinch my toes, but they don't constrict your feet at all and they don't rub and cause friction. They're very light on your feet and the material is good quality. I'm a 7.5 but only 8 was available, and they fit fine. Just a tad too long, but they still fit nicely. Maybe sizing up a half size is good if you're worried about them being comfortable. They seem to be well-made and worth the price. I think they'll be great for summer. Question for Free People though: Are they waterproof?"

You can treat these with a spray protectant that would make them waterproof! xoxo

Pleasantly Surprised : )

"I was skeptical to buy these since shoes are always a tad difficult to buy over the internet. I'm normally a size 8-8.5 and i bought size 39. They contradict all my doubts! Fit perfect, are extremely comfortable, and don't give you blisters or anything the first time you wear them! I seriously try to NOT wear them that's how much I use these sandals. Oh, and I bought them in the tan color used in the default image."

Avalon Average...

"I was really excited about these sandals they totally remind me of the salt water sandals from my childhood however they fit kind of odd. I feel like there for really narrow feet and they kind of pitch my toes. I really like the style and color so I kept them but i have to wear bandaids on my toe when wearing them (the sandal covers it up but if I were you I'd try and find the original salt water sandals)"

"I bought these sandals in the whiskey color, and they're great! They look just like the pictures. I really love the retro vibe. I wear a size 6.5 and I bought a size 7, since they don't have half sizes, and they fit perfect. Very comfy!"

Super cute.

"I bought these in natural. I ordered a 7 because I thought they ran big (I usually wear 7.5). I kept them anyways but should have definitely bought an 8. Color is true to the picture. A little tight and noisy when breaking them in but after a few times of wearing them they became quite comfortable. I'm about to buy them in whiskey, too!"

Perfect Go-To Sandals!

"They were a tad squeaky when I first wore them, but these sandals are wonderful! I got it as a gift in the natural color, and it goes with the majority of my simple, casual outfits. They're extremely comfortable to wear and I'm tempted to buy another pair in whiskey!"

Love my mellow yellow beauties!

"Ordered these in what looks like a sunflower yellow and I love them!
Craftmanship is great and they fit perfectly. The only thing I will say is that the strap that buckles in is looking a little worse for wear but that was to be expected. Just hope it doesn't wear out too quick!

Ugly and Disappointing
7.30.2012-
"I ordered these sandals in the dark green shade and was excited for them to arrive because it took awhile for them to even ship. When the sandals arrived, they were first way too large. I could have gone down easily a size, but maybe even more. I had a few inches of room. The straps were incredibly stiff because of the type of leather used and the way the ankle strap was made cut into me funny. The color was really the only thing I liked, but other than that, I couldn't get over the styling as well. On my feet (I have tiny, fairly thin feet, by the way) they look grandma-ish. I sent them back the day after they arrived. Just overall a sad experience from the process to the shoes themselves."

"i typically gravitate elsewhere for my summer sandals, but i'm so glad i gave free people a peek first! these are a little higher than my usual sandal price point, but well worth it. i bounce between a 7 and a 7.5 and chose the nude colored ones in a size 7. they fit like a dream, and i wear them with EVERYTHING. my only gripe is that the strap that fastens into the buckle is looking a little worse for wear, but that will not stop me from purchasing the green AND whiskey."

adorable but noisy!
4.6.2012-
"I purchased this in the red and they are very cute! They are true to size, comfortable and well made, and add a very nice burst of colour to any summer outfit! My only issue is the fact that they are a bit noisy. The front toe panels squeak quite noticably when i walk. Im hoping with more use this will stop."

"just got these in the mail and i love them! they fit really well and feel very comfortable and sturdy. i got the red ones, which are a true red (my computer screen made them look a little on the coral side). can't wait to pair them with lots of spring outfits, including my Sunburst Maxi Dress :-)"
