Max Studio black leather & neoprene flatform sandals, EU40, NWT

This pair of avant-garde flatform sandals from Max Studio features a wide leather adjustable ankle strap with a velcro closure for easy on-off, which, aside from being named Quince (how quirky!), is exactly what I want in my summer footwear. The uppers and lining are soft leather spliced with wide neoprene sections. They would look excellent with breezy, flowy summer lagenlook style, or with palazzo pants & jumpsuits. Would have worn the crap out of these if they hadn't turned out to fit so small. I could barely squish my size 9.5 feet into these shoes; The footbed is barely 10" in length - they're both small and narrow on me, so my guess is that they will work for a narrow size 9 or a size 8.5. These are still brand new in the box, having experienced only one unsuccessful try-on attempt.
