Upper
When it comes to these shoes you are not going to have to worry about breathability. Most of your foot is exposed to the air so there should be no problem keeping your feet cool and dry. The parts of your foot that are sitting under the straps will also offer you a little bit of ventilation to keep those bits comfortable and cool.
Outsole
These sandals have about a 4-inch stacked, block heel and a 1-inch platform. Keep in mind that these measurements are going to vary depending on the shoe size you order, this is just the average height. A stacked heel is simply one that gives the appearance of several layers of wood stacked on top of each other, giving you a nice look that many customers like. The heel on these sandals, however, is not the only thing stacked, the platform is as well.
Customers seem to like the chunky heel design of the shoes. It is thicker and more sturdy, giving you a more comfortable walking experience and a little more stability with each step you take.
Midsole
Additionally, thanks to the padding in the insole there is some support under your arches which is always an added bonus. As you cannot really add inserts or gel padding to these sandals, it is nice to know that you should not need to.
Style
They come in a couple of different color options so you are sure to find something that is going to best fit your style and personality. They are available in black, brown, light mocha (tan), white, and snake. The snake design is fun, giving the appearance of a white and silver snake. The other four options are simply plain colors which works well for many customers.
Durability
These shoes are designed to last. The high-quality materials and excellent construction are going to ensure that they are not going to tear apart or break any time soon. You should not have to worry about the heel breaking or snapping off while you are wearing them, thanks to the chunky design, they are much harder to break than other, stiletto heels. The construction and leather of the straps are also designed to not break or come apart at the seams so you are not going to have to worry about them snapping on you.
As long as you are taking care of your shoes properly there should be no reason you will have to replace these shoes. When cleaning them it is highly recommended that you only use leather cleaner on them so you do not ruin the straps and cause them harm.
Comfort
The straps are made out of soft leather and have a synthetic lining on the underside of them to help ensure they are soft and not irritating on your skin while they are on your feet. As long as you get a properly fitting shoe you will not have to worry about uncomfortable chafing which can lead to sores and blisters.
Weight
Support
When it comes to arch support, these shoes offer you a decent amount. There is a lightly padded insole that sits on top of the outsole that gives you some underfoot cushioning, including a little extra at the arches. If you have particularly high arches then these might not be the best option for you, but overall customers do not have many complaints when it comes to this.
Fit
These shoes are only available in medium width so if you have wide feet and need something that comes in a wider width then these heels are not going to be the right choice for you and you may want to consider a different option.
Stability
Additionally, the thicker heels are going to give you some extra stability if you are attending any outdoor events. You will not have to worry too much about your heels sinking down into the soft ground or even stuck in grates or cracks.
