Senso black suede octagonal-heeled laced gladiatior sandal, EU41, NWT

Senso is a family owned and operated shoe designer out of Australia, and if you're not familiar with them, they're kind of the Jeffrey Campbell of the southern hemisphere. Their shoes are infallibly stylish and edgy, and beautifully made, but definitely much more budget friendly than you might expect for the quality. Take this lovely lace-up sandal, the Niala, which was released in 2016. Details like the squared off toe and octagonal heel are still fresh and edgy as ever. This pair is marked EU41, and fits my 9.5 feet perfectly - the nice thing about the laces is that these will adjust to most feet - there's that one slender strap across the toes (which could easily be stretched) and everything else can be adjusted. Also they look scorching hot on the foot. Heel is 4.25" tall but feels very stable. There's a divot on the back of one of the heels, visible in the photos - a good shoe repair would be able to polish that out so that it's virtually invisible. Apart from that mishap, this pair is in excellent condition - never worn except for try-ons.
