Product Insights
These criss-cross suede strap clog sandals from Simons' exclusive Italian collection offer a durable leather footbed that molds to the foot over time and outlasts memory foam by years, making them a good value at the sale price of $89.95. However, they run small (sizing up fits medium-width feet), have fixed straps with no adjustability, gold studs that are plated and not replaceable, and a faux-wood outsole providing less grip on wet or smooth surfaces compared to rubber.
- Sizing

Why this is supported

- Strap adjustability
Criss-cross and ankle straps are fixed with no adjustable closures.
Why this is supported

Durability: Leather is known for its resilience. A well-made leather insole can withstand significant wear and tear, lasting for years with proper care.
