bed stu Women's Seneca Gladiator Sandal

Love these sandals! Went overboard and ordered the dark teak as well. I have several pairs of bedstu boots and I found sizing tricky with this brand as even though both pairs of boots are the same "size" one pair runs true to size and the others are at least half size to a whole size bigger than labeled. I was worried the same would go for the sandals, but to my surprised, these fit great.Please note, the 2nd and 3rd straps from the top can run loose on the leg. It doesn't bother me that they hang a bit more or are not as tight around my leg but saw other reviews on a variety of websites where this bugged people. These are also cut on those top straps to accommodate some elastic. At first I thought I got a defective pair and where the leather was cut by accident, however I found up close pics of the style and figured out this was necessary to stretch over the calf area and provide a more comfortable wear. Can't wait to wear these. They can definitely be dressed up or down.

I love this sandal! It’s very comfortable right out of the box. The leather is very soft. I wear an 8 and I bought an 8, fits perfect. Several of the straps are adjustable which I like because I have small ankles and calves. I did experience having one strap on each sandal that was much longer than the others. Unfortunately it wasn’t one that could be adjusted so I just got out a needle and thread and sewed it up and now they all look the same. I love the vintage work look of these too. I’m so glad I spent the money and got these!

Ordered in black and I'm happy with them. This brand runs a size small so I ordered an 11 instead of my normal 10 and they fit perfect. They are comfy and stylish though I wish they were a little less distressed in the finish.

I'm glad I bought these sandals. They're as lovely as they look in the pictures, a real cool look n style, they match a lot of my dresses which is a bonus. I wore them as soon as they arrived and they're comfy n soft. I was happy where they have the buckles to adjust to size and the little elastic for stretch on one of the straps. It was perfect for me! True to size.

Completely disappointing!!! I really love the color, and they are comfortable. But here is the problem!!!!! Poorly made, the right sandal is perfect, the left sandal is defective, poor workmanship, as the first row of cross over leather has one strap that is at least an inch too much leather, its where it meets the elastic. It sticks out and looks strange, as it has no way to buckle tighter, I will either have to send them back or take it to a shoe repair to re-sew it, but the point is, after paying over 130 bucks for sandals , you should not have to take them to be repaired....very sad!

(UPDATE) I still love the appearance of these sandals, but they don't hold up as well as I expected. While the leather did break in a little, they still couldn't live through an entire summer before serious wear began to show. Really disappointed.I'm a Chicagoan and need sandals that can hold up to the constant walking. This sandal will be able to do that with ease and comfort, and I couldn't be happier with the splurge! The quality blows other brands like Frye out of the water and costs far less!It's hard to advise sizing on this sandal. I'm a true 7 and even though the fit is extremely tight at first, this size works for my feet. Because this sandal is a 100% leather and handmade, sizing will vary from person to person. Leather expands over time so I suggest ordering according to that. I broke mine in the first few hours of trying them on and I already have more room! The fit, the feel, and the quality is exactly what I have been looking for in this style of sandal, so I'm very happy!The one issue and docking of the one star is due to my heels sliding off the back of the sandal (despite being enclosed). It's very distracting and I constantly have to stop and adjust my foot so that the heels do not continue to slide off. I blame this issue on the fact that the shoes aren't perfect, since they are handmade, and that it's just a natural consequence. It is something I'm willing to overlook.To those considering this brand, or even this style, I advise buying a pair knowing that they are not identical. Even the leather will vary in color and texture -- essencially you are buying custom made. The lack of total uniformity ensures that your shoes/sandals will have a very unique fit. My experience will be entirely different from the next person, for better or worse.Overall, you will not find sandals this well made at this price anywhere else. Trust me, I have been shopping around for months!

I love these. I have a pair of their boots too and the quality of both are awesome. Fit is perfect, im a true 8 and bought an 8. It may sound weird but i am still in the process of losing baby weight so my calves are a little fat... right now the second set of straps that criss cross are a little tight, this set isn’t adjustable. Ran into the same problem when i bought my just below the knee bed stu boots after my second pregnancy. They fit when i got to my normal size, i know these will too. So if you are like me and you are losing weight or maybe have bigger calves keep this in mind. Otherwise they are perfect.

I love the sandals, however, I went off of the first review regarding these running small. My experience was that they run true to size. I am typically an 8.5-9 shoe size so I ordered a 10, but they were too large. I've reordered in a small size as the quality and look are too good to pass up.
