Giancarlo Paoli turquoise suede & rhinestone ankle strap sandals, size EU40, NEW

Italian brand Giancarlo Paoli makes really lovely shoes, all leather & handmade, of course. This pair of dainty, strappy jeweled sandals is marked size EU40 and fits my size 9.5 feet rather perfectly, but it could also work for a size 9 with wider feet. This pair was missing a couple of rhinestones from one shoe; I considered sourcing out replacement stones, but in the end, I just simply moved stones from the ends of the straps where they're less visible. In fact, the way the rhinestones are placed on the ankle straps kind of crowds the buckle - less so now (you're welcome). Apart from that, there is one noticeable scratch, but it's in the middle of the metallic mirrored silver finished insole, so no one will ever see it unless the sandal is off your foot. There are a number of insignificant scratches on the mirrored insoles, presumably from try-ons and general handling. Insoles are already pretty shiny - if they were any more polished, people would be catching glimpses up your skirts. These really are adorable and very sparkly evening sandals for anyone who either can't wear heels or would just rather not.
