The Capri Sandal has been a staple of J.Crew's summer arrivals for a couple of years now. (I actually know it is "officially" summer when I notice them being worn by other women, while I am out shopping!) There are currently many variations of the sandal, from the Leather Capri sandals (Item 72868) to the Tierney capri sandals (Item 93808) to the Jeweled critter capri sandals (Item 94382).
Although I own four pairs of the capri sandal (two in white {but one with sequence}, one in black, and one in gold metallic) they are not the most comfortable sandal. I have so many because they do look good with almost any outfit (especially dresses), and I am willing to sacrifice comfort with style. :)I find that the leather foot bed is actually quite a hard surface to walk around in all day. I end up having to use a Dr. Scholl's insert to make them more comfortable. I have also found that they are deceptively heavy. I think this is due to the leather sole being too heavy for the tiny straps to support, leaving a mark (and pain) where the straps are on the foot. On a bright note, most (if not all) of the capri's sole include a rubber inset for traction. (This is something I wish they would offer on all of their shoes, especially their flats that I always have to adhere a "safe step sole pad" on.)
Do you own any of the capri sandals? What is your impression of them? Would you recommend someone to buy a pair? Have you noticed that the price for these sandals have slowly increased over the years?
