Review of MIA Women's Rome Sandal

I bought these because I love the style and wanted something a little nicer than my Tevas to run around in during the hot L.A. summers.These fit the bill perfectly!

I was a little concerned about the incredibly annoying cross-bar that comes down from the front and slides between your toes; I've never been able to wear split-toe thong shoes because the thing digs into my foot like a razor.Sure enough, when I tried the shoe on it felt like I was in a torture chamber.It was also quite wide to be fitting between someone's toes, especially women, who tend to have smaller feet.It was well made and carefully wrapped in leather, but too wide and extraordinarily uncomfortable, at least for me.I gave it a go, and it didnt work.

Expecting this, and being unwilling to return these sandals (which are really very nice), I got out my Xacto blade and did a little surgery, carefully removing the leather crosspiece from each shoe.I slipped the sandal on and it was perfect!I've worn them a number of times since.They are lovely and comfortable and my feet dont slide around in them.The sole grips the ground and isnt slippery.

The single issue I have with these sandals is that they are just a wee bit tricky for me to buckle since the buckles are on the outside of the ankle and are rather small.It looks great and I wouldnt necessarily want that changed, but the buckles themselves could have been a higher quality and the holes drilled in the ankle straps, which must fit snugly, are a wee bit too small to make buckling the sandals as easy as it could be.Once theyre on, though, theyre extremely comfortable and a pleasure to wear and to walk in.They are well made out of materials that feel like very good quality.

These shoes are a five-star item save for the very uncomfortable crosspiece between the toes, which I had to remove but which many women will undoubtedly be fine with, and the issue with the somewhat recalcitrant buckles.I would definitely recommend these, and I'd buy them again myself without hesitation.
