Catiana Platform Sandal

I bought these sandals to wear on a trip to Europe where I would be walking a lot. They are so comfortable and I can wear them all day - but if my feet sweat at all (and it’s REALLY hot here!) - they turn my feet orange (like I used tanning lotion just on my feet!). The edges are starting to gray and they looks pretty worn out after only 3 weeks of wear. I was hoping for better quality from these sandals.

These just weren’t all that comfortable for me. I don’t like to “flip flop” in my sandals, I think the top is just shy of preventing them from flopping around. I wear a size 8.5/9 medium width and the 9 fit. I did not find the arch to be all that supportive. Made in China. Sadly these are getting returned.

Generally this brand fits well but this pair is more suitable if you are a solid M or a little wider. My foot is between N and M but these are way too wide for me.

I ordered these in the Navy, Black and Gold. They are very, very comfortable and a great design. The only thing I will say is my foot is a true Medium width, definitely not narrow, and these run wide. I ordered them in my regular size of 9 but seemed a tad short, so I re-ordered in 9 1/2. The length was better but really, really too wide. I can wear them but because they are leather I know from experience that they will stretch and soon will be floppy on my foot and hard to walk in without feeling like they will fall off. I really wish they would make them narrower. Also, the Blue and Black Suede are gorgeous, but the Gold is really SPARKLY GOLD. The picture representing the Gold is more of a Soft Muted Tan which is why I ordered them. I don't think the correct picture for this color is represented. Just know that you will be getting a Metallic Gold Shoe and not the one in the photo. I'm going to return the gold and re-order the size 9 in the Navy and Black, so they won't be so wide. I really love the style and comfort, just hoping they don't get too wide and sloppy after wearing a few times.

It took me a long time to receive these, but it was worth the wait. I almost always wear an 81/2, but my foot slid right through even though my forefoot leans toward the wide side. I sent them back, but the 8 was no longer available. I watched the website daily for a month and finally snagged what was probably a return. I adore everything about this classy style, especially the excellent arch support (a must for me) and the gorgeous whitewash finish. Interestingly, there is another listing for a Catiana Platform Sandal that is identical but in different finishes. The 8 1/2 in the metallic option fits me perfectly, but the beige suede was much too tight. I am thrilled to have found this brand and am hoping that their fall and winter styles are as good. Great-looking shoes with good arch support are rare.

I love the look and feel of these shoes. They look seriously cute with cut off jean capris and a little white T. Unfortunately, the right shoe squeaks. Step, squeak, step, squeak. It’s pretty silly.
