I'm personally not a fan of an ankle strap especially during the hot summer.
I prefer the Oasis, JMO

I have both, I prefer the Encens...they are more comfortable than my Oasis (in Epsom)
I also heard about the loud sound and wondered how loud these sandals were . I work in a school with hard floor halls lol
For me, Oasis. SA had warned me and was right, I could not deal with clacking and passed. Might also be the way I walk 😅
Personally both would not work for me.
Ences are beautiful, secure with the ankle strap but I have issues with the leather backing on these types shoes. I can't say specifically about the ences because I don't own a pair. But for most shoes with that ankle strap design, the leather backing tends to rub against my skin and give me blisters or cut me. Especially if they are very high/tall (not the heel, but the leather back).
That just might be my feet and/or the way I walk though so who knows lol.
Oasis have that cute and casual vibe but they are just loud. That and every single heeled sandal with that design I have tried on, always slaps the ground. Drives me nuts.

I was actually in a similar internal debate as OP.
I am looking for a pair of casual summer sandals and the white or gold oasis look beautiful.
I havent tried yet but I have heard the epsom version is very painful to break in.
The Helia style also looks more comfortable and with better support although I personally dislike the black heel.
