I tried these two pairs of shoes to freshen up my spring/summer footwear. Unfortunately neither one worked out.

The studded slides were promising -- the fit was quite good on my slightly narrow/low-volume feet, but there was a bit of extra room at the very top of the instep. Not bad, but the leather is soft and I believe these have the potential to stretch. However, they arrived with a flaw -- one of the studs had already come off the shoe, which doesn't bode well for these to stand up to wear very well. Back they are going.

I love the look of the Shellys London chunky sandals, but there are a couple of issues. First of all, they lace up quite high and the laces are sort of stiff and sticky, so they take a bit of effort to get on and off. But once I had them on, I realized they would never be comfortable on me -- the exposed laces rub on the tops of my feet.

So, 0-for-2 on the shoe front.

I am, however, keeping this Zadig + Voltaire tee. Nice color, fun but subtle motif, flattering neck, and an easy fit.
