Franco Sarto Women's L-Misty Sandal

I was super excited about these sandals bc I'd been looking for something this style for a while, but these shoes are unexpectedly poor quality and design. 1) The gold 'metal' accent is not all gold. The top center section appears to be a beige w/white swirl plastic insert that's reminiscent of an old bathtub finish or 1980's high gloss furniture. This was not shown in the pics. 2) The gold portion is also not metal nor is it quality craftsmanship. It too appears to be plastic and you can see areas where the lines are not straight and the gold is discolored. Basically like it's a film coating on plastic. 3) The ankle strap does not have an additional loop to tuck the excess in. I only had it buckled on the 2nd hole and there's all that strap left unsecured which looks bad as-is but is going to wear even worse with getting curled up/deformed over time. 4) The sandal is overly narrow in the center. I do not have wide feet and never have to order wide shoes, however, my feet spill over the sides in these sandals. Overall, from a distance these shoes are attractive and could probably work if you don't care about the actual quality or durability. These are disappointment though for this brand and expected quality at this price point, so I will be returning. Please do better Franco Sarto. Don't start sacrificing quality for profits. These are more comparable to a bargain barrel sandal than something typical of this brand.

These are so cute!!! I love the quality. The center bar on the t-strap looks like mother of pearl. It’s very slight. They are so very comfortable. I’m pleased with my purchase.
