Breckelle'sWomens Diva-31 Gladiator High Heel Sandals

Here's the deal with these shoes. If you have skinny or slender calves/lower legs, the straps are NOT going to fit snugly as they appear in the pictures. Those loops are not spandex or have spandex attachments, they are basically leather, so they do not stretch or conform to the legs. Unless you have the perfectly designed leg for these shoes, they will hang off your leg like over-sized boots. Vice versa, if you are a bigger girl with really thick legs, you're probably not going to squeeze into them too comfortably. The materials used are good materials, they just suffer from a fundamental design flaw by not having those leg loops expand or compress via spandex-like ability. Also, I had to return mine because of a defect. The left ankle strap you adjust to fit your leg, was cut 1/2 the require length, making the studs not even line up correctly when laced without even a foot wearing the shoes (straight outa the box broke).The knee strap suffers from the same exact defective design as the lower leg loops, it's just effectively a leather belt that 'hangs' oddly around your knee with the option to 'belt it' via notches tighter, but not something you can really do since the knee naturally flexes. Again, why they designed all these elaborate loops that don't stretch or hold snug to the leg or knee in a flexible manner IS BEYOND ME!So when you pull these outa the box, they've been slightly reshaped (the loops) from their own weight, and since they are going to be 'big' and hang off most legs, appear odd. God these would be so awesome if they had used spandex somewhere in the process. The shoe part fits as expected so order your normal size and you should be good. They fit perfect in that regard and the support was great. The last complaint was the fact that these shoes appear pure white, and that's what I ordered, but what showed up was NOT pure white. It was an off-white vanilla like white instead. Not at all like the images online. They still looked nice, but did not match the 100% white other articles of clothing I purchased them to go with!So I returned them for a refund. I've considered re-purchasing them, and if no ankle defect, re-cobbling them with the above modifications to make them awesome. What stopped me was the fact that they weren't sized in my color, and the white wasn't the white pictured and desired.

so I love the fit and they have a sexiness to them which is why I wanted them to begin with (however I had to get gold since all other colors in my size were gone). I wore them around the house to see how I would deal with them if I had to wear them out for any length of time. my belief is that I could wear them for a couple of hours but I doubt I could wear them all day and feel comfy.I have thick athletic like legs however even on me, I was able to put these on over a pair of jeans I was wearing and could zip them up!if you have thin legs, I am not sure that you would really be able to wear these without them drooping unless you could strategically put a rubber band around your upper thigh (which in the summer would not work if you are wearing a short skirt to accentuate the height of the bootsI am not a fan of the gold color simply because the material is not the greatest, however, I tried a few ways to wear these and have some ideas with this gold color. wearing them with a black unitard or some sort of black stockings with these would really drive the color into a better vantage point since it would accentuate the gold against the black. other vibrant colors may also help to enhance the look of the polyurethane. I would think that the other colors may have a nicer material and if so then once I order those and try them, I am sure I could give them five stars,overall I gave these four starts only because of the material of the boot. they are going to have to grow on me

First, these are super sexy and beautiful. Unfortunately, I had to send mine back because nothing above the ankle fits my leg. I have pretty average size legs, but there was NO way I could zip these past my ankle. They don't have elastic extenders, so unless you have skinny legs, these aren't going to fit you. It's a shame because they're really pretty. I thought about going up the next size, but those were $30 more, not Prime and they probably would have been too big in the feet without any guarantee that the legs were big enough. Didn't want to worry about the hassel of returning Non-Prime items and paying outrageous shippinh costs.

These were cheaply made gladiators and they do not fit well. By that I mean if you have small calves you will need extra holes for them to fit snug. However with the material being so cheap if you put an extra hole in its likely to rip. Do Not buy these shoes.

I really liked these sandals as a part of the costume for a toga party in white and gold. I bought size 9 in gold. My feet are average in all dimensions, and my height is 5'7", and sandals fit right and end in the right place, right above the knee. The zipper was not smooth in the beginning but I touched it with a candle wax (the old trick), and it works just fine now. With synthetic material they made of, you cannot expect the perfect fit everywhere in your leg. If your legs are skinny, and you are petite, the fit may be an issue. To dance in sandals for a couple of hours was not a problem. They are fun!

These sandals are really awesome! I almost went with a 7 to be safe, but decided to just order the 6.5 which is my actual size, and they fit exactly right! A little loose for my calves, but mine are skinny and they probably wouldn't fit someone with large muscular calves. They also don't droop at all at the top, which I was worried about. The only concern I would say is that due to being folded in the packaging, if the straps aren't tight against your legs, they will be slightly bent/folded/warped (not sure what the right word is), but it isn't noticeable unless you're looking closely.

I just got these yesterday and even though they are cute there were small areas with slight discoloration. Its not obvious but to me I notice everything. It's like a drop of something got on the sandal. Fortunately because the color is gold it doesn't show. This is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars. Perhaps attention to detail in the future or maybe I need to stick to Steve Madden.Overall sexy look and very comfortable.
