I don't like too long either though and definitely no overhang in front! I saw a guy in soccer slides the other day and his whole toes were off the front! How is that even comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2042186 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 08:29:55 +0000 Jaime 2042186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer a little more to a little less. I do think if a shoe is comfortable it will look fine if either way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2042169 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 06:57:47 +0000 Liesbeth 2042169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks lisa and others for confirming that some extra room is esthetically ok. So, having walked around in these for a bit I find my heels do shift too far back for me to feel comfortable. I will try one size up but if the issue remains I'll just have to keep looking (ugh) for that elusive perfect sandal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2042121 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 03:18:39 +0000 fitit.xyz 2042121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I would err on the side of too much sandal than not enough!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2042095 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 00:54:45 +0000 Cee 2042095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I go by whether they feel comfortable or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2042084 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 00:26:21 +0000 Glory 2042084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think sandal fit is mostly a matter of comfort with some guidelines. The heel and toe should not extend over. I’ve also seen cases where there is much too much room in the front. I prefer my sandal to have minimal room left but not over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2042071 Fri, 12 Jul 2019 00:03:20 +0000 Anonymous 2042071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others in that the stock photo fit is wrong. &nbsp;I find that sales people in shoe stores are always telling me that the sandals fits properly if it fits this way - and I soundly disagree. &nbsp;I'd rather see a millimetre of sole front and back than toes and heels right at the edge. &nbsp;Total poison eye for toes sticking out the front of a sandal. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2042067 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 23:44:16 +0000 Anonymous 2042067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look short to me. I think with real steps, rather than posed, her toes would be over the edge.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2041931 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 18:31:48 +0000 Liesbeth 2041931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all. I will try wearing them around the house for a couple of hours. No half sizes, but these aren't on sale and I could try an entire size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2041925 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 18:15:25 +0000 Kathie 2041925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is my preferred fit- up to the edge of the sandal, but not over. I particularly don’t like too much of the footbed extending in the front of the shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2041886 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 17:06:16 +0000 JAileen 2041886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would compare the fit with the next larger size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2041883 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 17:05:21 +0000 Janet 2041883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Inge and missvee. Sandal fit is so critical because unlike closed shoes and boots, you cannot fill extra room with socks or inserts, but too big and the foot slides around - I have this problem a lot since my feet are slightly narrow and if I size down, the footbed is too short. I have a poison eye for any part of the foot overhanging the sole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2041846 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 16:19:10 +0000 SarahD8 2041846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll preface this by saying that I am not a fit pedant. I have a couple pairs of sandals that fit similarly to the photo, and a couple other pairs where the outline of the sandal is wider around my foot. Both can be perfectly comfortable and functional, <i>as long as</i> my foot does not shift around while walking. I have low-volume feet, so sometimes the smaller size actually helps prevent that shifting because the straps also tend to be tighter, and it's worth it to me to push the edges length-wise in order for the straps to be comfortable &amp; functional. So I second Inge's advice to try walking around -- maybe wear them at home for a stretch of several hours? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2041824 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 15:40:05 +0000 Inge 2041824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Yes, I'm also thinking they could be just a tad longer in the back (heel), because feet can sometimes slide a bit back and forth while walking and then your heel would sit on the edge of the shoe which might be uncomfortable. But try walking around in them for a bit, if that doesn't happen, perhaps you'll be fine? <br /></div><div>And I second missvee's suggestion of trying half a size up (if they come in half sizes, that is).<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2041814 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 15:30:44 +0000 missvee 2041814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do they come in 1/2 sizes? The ones on the model look a tiny bit short to me - her foot fits but the fleshy part of the heel seems to be extending beyond the footbed. It might just be the angle of the photo though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-should-sandals-fit#post-2041794 Thu, 11 Jul 2019 15:01:11 +0000 Liesbeth 2041794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quick question: I ordered the below sandals online and they fit me as they do on the model: my heel is *just* above the edge of the shoe and my toes fit the toebox with millimeters to spare (also when walking, they never extend over the edge). Straps are tight but not uncomfortably so and I would expect them to stretch a bit over time to accomodate feet swelling in the summer heat. I'm a bit concerned about the heel but unsure if a size up would mend this issue. What do you think? </p>
