Product Insights
Steve Madden's Tracie Kitten Heel Sandals offer a perfect dupe for Toteme's sandal at a fraction of the price, featuring a 1.5-inch kitten heel that reduces fatigue and stays stable for all-day wear. The cushioned footbed provides plush comfort but lacks arch support, and the brand deems it adequate for extended use. For fit, size down half a size if between sizes. The sandal's textile/synthetic upper with printed pattern wipes clean easily, while leather and suede options resist tearing and conform over time. With a 4.1-star rating from 48 reviews, it is declared the season's hottest shoe by WWD and boasts a 300% sales surge. The design appears as a flip-flop from afar but reveals a kitten heel, enabling seamless day-to-night styling and sturdy heavy rotation.

Très jolie mais je vais les retourner la grandeur est bonne mais bizarre les ganses sont lousse incapable de marché ne tiens pas au pied
Narrow & long
I am typically a woman's size 8 medium width so I ordered 8, and they were too long, and far too narrow unfortunately. I would say these are perfect if you have a narrow foot and size down 1/2 size. Had to return.
