Anya's offered me great service and I love the boots they sent me! I have the Zaqq Quintics and they are delightfully comfortable and cozy based on the try on. Like the reviews said, they will give you fat looking ankles, but so far they seem like a great, functional winter boot!

This site could be great! There is so much information.

There is SO much written on AnyasReviews about fit issues for those with wider feet.

Yet when AnyasReviews designs / produces their own shoe, it is terribly uncomfortable and VERY NARROW. A big waste of a lot of money.

As noted about Origo Shoes (the group that crafts these shoes):

The Huarache Sandal by Anya × 1 Tan / 8

These shoes are beautiful, well made, and I want every color and style. BUT they are ONLY FOR PEOPLE with FLAT and VERY SKINNY feet.

I want to give a ZERO STAR rating - the pair I purchased are at this moment thrown under the side porch! SO ANNOYED - TERRIBLE PURCHASE!

Because Anya's site makes it SOUND LIKE these shoes are for real feet and are comfortable - they are not - these shoes were apparently designed for Anya's very own feet and will not fit any other foot unless it is NARROW, ULTRA LOW VOLUME, and completely FLAT with ZERO arch! Too bad - Anya's poor advertising (false, but not purposely false) and very poor descriptions of what these shoes are like.

Just read the various reviews/comments on Anya's site - many have been removed - of course - some truncated - of course - but still there are a number of customers who REGRET their UNWISE purchases because they believed what Anya said about these shoes but found out something VERY DIFFERENT when they attempted to wear these incredibly skinny, uncomfortable, waste of $100 shoes. (As another reviewer here said - if worn/"worn" (put on feet, stepped on floor) the shoes are not returnable.

I was so excited when these sandals came out! Finally in December my size was in stock, I carefully measured every aspect of my feet (my VERY lean feet with absolutely zero meat on any part,) and ordered. Sadly these DO NOT FIT, are VERY difficult to pull on, and DEFINITELY NOT COMFORTABLE. My feet are not really wide and these sandals are so much narrower than any huarache I've ever found in just regular old retail.

Certainly the skinny latigo of super thin leather should stretch in time/with wear/& lots of walking, but they will CRUSH my forefeet in the meantime. I'm really sad about this and wish that I had returned them, but instead wore them around for a couple weeks thinking they would stretch - they have not stretched at all yet.

They are definitely "minimalist" and that probably should be their only claim to fame - flat, skinny, uncomfortable. If your feet are a usual length::width ratio (ie. SKINNY and absent any anatomy) and your arch is FLAT/no arch/VERY low volume then you may be ok.

Another point to consider is the density/hardness of your tissues, the softness of your dermis, and the flexibility of your tendons/ligaments/other tissues. I have uber flexible dancer’s feet and although they are also super strong muscularly, these sandals really constrict my feet and squeeze bones/joints out of whack.

Just as a point of reference, the dimensions of my feet (both feet’s measurements are stunningly identical): (2.54cm/in)
Foot Length: 9.25" / 23.5cm
Instep height: 2.5” / 6.3cm
Ball width: 4" / 10.2cm
Width at widest point: 4" / 10.2cm
Width at narrowest point: 2" / 5.1cm
Ball girth: 8" / 20.3cm
Instep girth: 8" / 20.3cm
Narrowest point girth: 7.5" / 17.8cm
Heel girth: 8.5" / 21.6cm (girth of in front of ankle)
Girth of foot right in front of ankle: 8.5" / 21.6cm

All of these personal factors make these sandals unusable for me. Just some things to consider before sinking $100 that you can neither use nor return. Blah.

I research very carefully before I spend any money - especially online - but these shoes are not correctly described at all - had the info about them been correct I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED.

They need a REAL shoe designer - or new descriptions.
