Pinko pale pink suede mid-calf gladiator sandals, EU40, NWT

I would have totally rocked these sandals all summer if only they fit over my peasant ankles and calves. Sadly, despite both lacing and buckle adjustments, it was not to be. They are marked size EU40 and my size 9.5 foot fits the sandal portion on the foot perfectly, just can't quite get the zipper all the way up. Waiting patiently for the day when designers finally recognize that these styles ALSO look good on those of us with peasant legs. Apart from the fit issue, which is admittedly personal to those of us who inhabit the outer regions of bell curves (what? it's less crowded!) the sandals are exquisitely charming and definitely make a style statement (possibly fairycore? You decide!) There's a slight texture mismatch between the two insoles, but if you're wearing them, no one can see the insoles anyway, just mentioning it in case of perfectionists. Aside from that, these are brand new - missing the original box but there is a dustbag.
