Has anyone heard of Portlandia shoes or tried them out?

I just happened to notice these sandals while looking around online for something else and I thought they looked pretty good, but then I haven't tried this brand before, and was wondering if anyone had any reviews - either positive or negative.

I was looking at these:

They grey pair also looks lovely (pic #3).

Has anyone tried Portlandia shoes? The same style of shoe is available on Endless for a really great sale price as well (red in pic #2 from Endless)...

Just curious - I'm quite tempted to order at least one pair of these.

I have a pair of Portlandia booties. They are pretty comfy (and my feet are fussy so I have high standards). They don't have a ton of padding but I added my typical two insoles (one padding and one arch support) which made them comfortable. However, I don't think they are super durable - the heels are wearing down pretty quickly (but I am tough on my heels) and the leather started to get kind of cracked and creased fairly quickly. I got them last year, but if I find another pair of burgundy booties that I like, I may replace them this year. I did get them on a big sale so I'm not upset about this, but I would hesitate to pay full price.

Thank you Diana! I was wondering about that - if these might be a 'fast fashion' item - and I really appreciate hearing your feedback on these. I might order a pair, but will keep it to just one pair of shoes and I will keep in mind that they might not last as long as some of my other shoes.

It sounds like these are *fab* shoes, provided you get them on sale. Reasonably comfy, but maybe won't last as long as a better-quality shoe might.

There's only about a month or two of hot weather left - I might go for broke and get *red.* Even if they only last the rest of this season and all of next summer, they'd be a fab find (for me), especially at the sale price these days. Thanks again
