Lace-Up Espadrille Sandal (Women)

So, these are a pair of dressy/casual flat espadrilles, with a zipper back. They're very cute, ideal for pairing with sundresses and jeans, and are pretty comfortable for simple running around type stuff. And they really do look great with sundresses, when you want to wear something that's easy, supportive and not necessarily another pair of Birkenstocks or flats. They are absolutely NOT walking shoes in the same sense as sport sandals. Sure, you can walk around the mall in them, go to work in them, go grocery shopping...but if you're taking a fitness walk, or even taking the dog out, they're not the shoes you reach for. So, with that said, if you're looking for a cute shoe to go with sundresses that you can walk around in--not power walk, just walk as you would with any other pair of espadrilles--these are comfortable, breathable, well-made and pair easily with minis, midis, and maxis. But if you're looking for a pair of walking shoes, get a pair of Tevas, Suicokes, Birkenstocks, Allbirds or just a regular boring old pair of sneakers.

MOST painful shoes I've ever purchased. Tried them on before (several times on several visits), wanted them but not at that price. Finally decided to get them after trying them on again during another visit. Got $10 off, so I was even happier to have them. Worst shoes I've ever bought. The criss-cross straps did not flex or give with the bend of my foot, leaving dark purple 'X" marks on my feet that took hours to go away. Most-wanted purchase at the Rack & the most disappointing.
