Other than the colour, these are the worst shoes I have ever purchased. I love Not, but not Santa Barbara. They are so very very uncomfortable. They have rivets not shown in pictures. They press on your little toe, both sides. I had to cover them with glued on foam on the inside. Still uncomfortable. I'm trying to wear them in a bit with socks but my feet are killing me. Fortunately, I can wear the two straps on the second eyelet but beware. If you need to wear these shoes on the last eyelet, the awful looking eyelet is seen on outside. So ugly and also not shown in pics. I've given them one star because the colour is really nice. $169 down the drain. Why did I not get Birks... Cannot return them as I bought from a Melbourne retailer online using After pay. This retailer said I could only get a credit which would have been fine if they had anything else decent to choose. Plus I brought in the washing on the wet grass so they got a bit marked on the white soles. Anyway, sorry Naot. Your shoes in general are excellent, but def not these. They also look a little like they're ungluing from the sole. I'm trying to wear them in so that's a worry as I haven't actually worn them yet. Well, not a good review. But if you are a pensioner like me, choose another brand for this style of sandal. $169 is a lot of money to waste. I have Mayori Birks. Excellent, can wear from outset, I live in them. Wanted these shoes in this colour for a dressier sandal. Huge mistake. So so so disappointed.
