The slides are pretty and look like the photos. They run small as everyone notes, so I ordered accordingly. However, my disappointment is two-part: These are not made with metal sequins as I anticipated. I've been eyeing these slides for a couple of years, and I swear that they used to read that they were made only of leather and metal sequins. Given the world's excessive reliance on plastic and how microplastics are now in our bodies, I try very hard not to buy plastic and petroleum-based clothing and shoes. When I emailed after receiving them, Llani did share that they use leftover plastic pieces to make the shoes, which is better than not. The second part of my disappointment is that Llani doesn't allow returns - only store credit or exchanges. I should have the small print on this. I don't think they're worth the $225 price tag for leather slides with cheap plastic sequins. I anticipate the plastic sequins, just by looking at them, will begin falling off within the first wear, adding to our problem of plastic pollution. :-/
