Alessia Sandal (Women)

Love these sandals. Leather is soft. I own an extremely similar sandal by Saint Laurent and these are more comfortable. Buy one pair but be prepared to want more…. I have them in white and beige. Didn’t think there was much of a difference between the 10 and 11 If you have wide feet you probably want to size up

Beautiful sandal excellent quality and fit ! Ordered in black & cognac in my US regular size 9.5 . The box of the Cognac says “US” Sizing 9.5 - EUR 39.5. The box of the black sandal says US 9.5 - EUR 40.5. Needless to say , the black sandal fits , the cognac is too small . My standard EUR size is 40.5 had no idea these were sized in EUR . Also -There is obviously a mix up with the sizing on one of these boxes . EUR 40.5 = US 10.5. Returning the cognac for US 10.5

I know others have mentioned sizing being different on box vs shoe itself. I ordered the choc. brown and the snake print, in 61/2 and 7, and while the boxes and shoe sizes aligned, oddly the snake print in the 6 1/2 was actually wider and bigger than the same shoe in a 7. The other odd thing is that the chocolate brown has a narrower toe box silhouette than the snake. I don't know why a change in color should have a different shape, but it does. I really like the snake as it could pass as dark brown or black, and really looks nice with creams and taupe's, etc; snake is always in style and adds a great pop to a basic look, but the chocolate 7 fits me better than the 7 snake, as I have a very narrow foot. I am going to order another 7 in the snake in case, like most things these days, there is inconsistency from shoe to shoe in how it was cut. Seems one has to order so many items to try to find the one that fits best...gets expensive and time consuming! Magli is a great shoe, and I have a pair of heels in my collection that I have had since the 90's and they are in mint condition but, alas, things are not made as well as in past...

Pro - Comfortable - Good weight to the shoe - Feels good quality Con - Didn’t like the look. Toe area is too angular (for my taste). Reminds me of what an old lady would wear to buy groceries at a wet market. - Leather was darker than what I expected - Lining under the heel didn’t appear to be glued down properly
