Iana Ankle Strap Sandal

Description says “adjustable buckle” closure but it’s a faux buckle and the closure is Velcro. If you try walking in them, the Velcro will spontaneously open due it being at a stress point

I love gladiator-style sandals and keep buying them every few years. I got the 6 because they said to size down if between sizes. I usually wear 6.5 in sandals. Anyway, a picture’s worth a thousand words. These are made with genuine, buttery leather and I know they will last way longer than the fake stuff. The leather feels like calf- it’s that soft. There’s velcro that’s quite discreet for easy on/ off but I need to crouch down to get the velcro perfectly aligned, which I prefer over fumbling with buckles. I avoid shoes with buckles because I find myself never choosing them to wear. My recommendation is to grab these while you can.

I knew this was a risk due to it being a final sale. I researched this shoe company's size charts and compared it to sandals of another brand (Softwalk) I currently & comfortably wear. Purchasing foot wear online is tricky when you're looking at different manufacturers. I got my usual sandal-shoe sz 9M and gratefully it worked out. The foot bed is slightly cushioned and soft texture. The sole has some bend to it which helps with longer walks. The straps are secured by Velcro, but can also be adjusted for a better fit with the buckles. I like that the straps look substantial and not flimsy plastic looking. The bottom of the sandal has a textured rubber surface, giving a better traction than a smooth plastic surface would. Overall I'm satisfied with the value of this purchase.
