In the summer of 2016, I purchased these from the Margiela boutique in Rome and wore them for the remainder of that trip—so for another three or four weeks. I have seldom worn them since, because they are too big for me and slip at the heel. (Margiela was out of my size, EU42.)

Comfortable, very well-made sandals that are great for walking, with a contoured upper sole and durable rubber sole. The leather is thick yet soft—so no issues with rubbing or pinching.

Adjustable fastener that uses a combined Velcro and buckle system. Metal hardware. Embossed size on the upper sole. Iconic stitching at the back of each shoe. Leather Margiela label on the bottom of the sole.

Show normal wear, including heel drag, for the approximate one-month period that they were worn. The leather is in excellent condition thoughout. I experienced some squeaking, especially from the right sandal. I attributed this to the fact that they are too big, but perhaps the cause is that the leather sole is starting to separate on the outer edge of the outside of each shoe in the same place—see the last two images. A cobbler should be able to rectify this, I would think.

Measurements:
Length at longest point: 11 7/8"
Width at widest point: 4 3/4"

No box, unfortunately, as I didn’t have room for it in my luggage. I actually wore these out of the Margiela store, leaving the box behind (as well as the sandals I’d been wearing that had been tearing up my feet, which was the reason my gf insisted I buy a different pair).

Made in Italy.
