These shoes are gorgeous, high-quality and comfortable. I highly recommend them and can't think of any improvements for the shoes themselves. I will review them in the ankle tie version, which I ended up keeping after I exchanged these. My frustration is with the way that sizing is conveyed. I read the blog where Anya talks about Laboo, checked the size chart carefully, and measured my feet obsessively. Anya's blog states that the shoes run small, but that the size chart is accurate. The product description says that the shoes run small and to check the size chart for correct sizing. My feet measured consistently at 24.5 cm and that has held true for the other brands I've tried from Anya's Shop, so I decided to order a size 39 based on the Laboo size chart. Even running small, there should have been some wiggle room based on the 3-10mm range recommended in the optimal fit note. But nope. These were tiny. My heel hung over the edge no matter how I adjusted the sandals. I had to exchange the buckle version for the ankle strap version since the buckle had run out of stock, and I had to make unnecessary returns that could have been avoided if the size chart was updated or if the site was clear that the size chart itself is inaccurate. It was frustrating to read on the blog and in the product description that the chart is accurate and to find that it absolutely is not. I think that this is easily correctable, hence the low rating. Unnecessary returns due to inaccurate information are wasteful and frustrating. With that said, the instant exchange that Anna's Shop uses is the best I've ever seen. It was incredibly simple to choose an entirely different pair of shoes and the replacement was sent out before I'd even sent the exchange from my end. They processed my exchange rapidly and without issue. I still have another pair of shoes to return, so I'll update if something weird happens from that. But thus far, I would not hesitate to order from Anna's Shop again. It's wonderful to have access to shoes that are very difficult to source in the U.S., and it's great to know that exchanges are so flawless. I hope that they'll tighten up their site descriptions because so far, that is literally my only complaint [it happened with another pair of shoes, too.] So unless Anya's Shop updates the blog and product page for this shoe, it runs a full size smaller than even a generous measurement on the size chart. I tried a 40 and 41 after the failed 39 and ended up feeling most comfortable in the size 40.

These are my thinnest most flexible barefoot shoes so far (7 months into barefoot) and loving these for their feel, looks and fit! They also stay securely on my feet and flex with me. The quality is top notch, the leather beautiful. The style is surprisingly versatile - dress up or dress down opportunities abound. I will say they are very flexible so the front tips do catch occasionally as I walk, so I'd make sure they're a perfect fit and also the toe post took a day to get used to. I'm very pleased with these shoes and are even better than I expected.
Hi Kathryn, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you love the sandals and your insight about the fit and toe post is very helpful. Thanks again for your support and happy barefooting!
I tried both the black and the tan in size 38, and am returning both, unfortunately. I love the style of the sandal and the heel strap adjusts to hold my feet securely. Unfortunately, the placement of the toe straps puts my foot too far back on the sole. Trying to put my foot more centered put pressure on the straps between the toes and was rather uncomfortable.
As a side note, the tan was very pale. I expect it darkens as the sandals are worn, as I've had a watch strap that was the same way, however if someone is expecting a medium tan color, they will be surprised.
Hi Joan, thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad you liked the style but sorry the fit wasn't perfect. Your feedback about the toe strap placement and color shade is very helpful. We hope you'll find the right pair soon! Don't hesitate to reach out to our expert team at shop@anyas-shop.com for assistance.
Sandals look good overall. Ill see how my feet adjust. I just received them and try them. The do feel like too there's lots of space in the front and not so much on the back. My feet measure 25.5 and i ordered size 40.
Ill come back to update my review once ive used wore them more.
They look so good on you, Luisa! Thanks for your honest feedback! Some foot shapes fill out that front part better than others. You may be able to loosen the front straps a bit to rectify that for your anatomy. Feel free to email our helpful team at shop@anyas-shop.com for further ideas.
These sandals fit true to size for me! Love the flexible, lightwieght sole. I’ve had a hard time finding sandals and these worked well for me. The strap system makes them feel secure on my feet and are not floppy. They are lighter than most sandals I’ve tried.
