Ancient Greek Sandals gold leather Anastasia comfort sole sandals, EU40, EUC

Ancient Greek Sandals make iconic, elegant, minimalist, all leather hand-crafted sandals. The company started as a partnership between Nikolas Minoglu, who studied business in London before moving back to Greece and taking over his family's shoe business and Christina Martini, a former shoe designer for Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, and Iris SRL. They make a wide variety of styles, but I love the simplicity of the more minimal designs. The sandals are precisely constructed using a variety of ancient techniques and vegetable dyed leather that ages beautifully with wear. This particular pair features the suede-lined 'comfort sole', which felt delightful under my feet. Unfortunately, they were rather tight on me, so they've only been worn once. Slight scuffing on soles. This pair is size EU40, and I can get into them with slight difficulty, but if you're a size 9.5 with limber and narrower feet, they will fit. I believe they'll work best for a women's size 9, however.
