Hello everyone,
Would really appreciate your opinion on how the Orans fit on me. I can't decide if they are too big or just right.
My shoe size is consistently 38.5 in Dior and 39 in Chanel.
With Orans size 40 was just right (in my opinion), but my toe was hanging out on the side when walking. SA brought size 41 and they fit better when walking (no toe falling on the side, not as snug, but still wearable). I had a total lapse of judgement and didn't think to ask for 40.5 (I forgot half sizes exist arghhh).
Please tell me if these look Ok or completely ridiculous. Thank you so much!
By the way, I am still in total shock I am size 41 in these. I'm usually size 8 or 8.5 in shoes.

Does anyone have the white and the gold oran sandals. I'm trying to decide between the two. Would like to know how each wear. Does the white get scuffed and look old quicker than the gold?
Get gold. They look great with jeans. I had white but returned them not because I was afraid of wear but because my legs are so white that they didn’t look nice. My gold have worn nicely though
 
My SA said the opposite, so I went up a whole size but I hope they won’t be too loose

Mine to, my tts is 38.5 but for Oran I went 39.5, I could also take 39, but decided for bigger.
I have narrow feet.

I think they look good.
I am 38.5 in Chanel and Neo bootie for example and took 39.5 for Orans.
 
Just bought my first pair of Oran sandals. Today, when trying them on at home and walking around I get at feeling that the front leather part over the feet might be too tight... My feet come out a little bit at the inner side, where there is a natural "gap" in the letter "H" so to speak. I am suddenly insecure and wondering if they are too small for me. :confused1:

However I am hoping that the leather will expand a bit over time when I use the sandals, so that they will become more comfortable. I can see that it would not be great either if the leather piece over the foot was too loose... then I suppose the foot would not be held in place and you would feel that the sandal would fall off when wearing it... I am hoping that the leather will expand a little bit / soften up as they are used but I do not know if this is true or if I should just come to the conclusion that they are too small (even though the "length" of the sandal is the right one). :sad:

Does anybody know if the leather part over the foot will get softer and/or more loose (comfortable) over time? Are they normally true to size? I actually bought them just a little bit bigger than my normal size... Just half a number up (European size).

Right now I am afraid that my feet will hurt... or do I just need to walk around / start using them and my feet will get used to them over time? I have been longing for these sandals for some time and it would be really really sad if I ended up not using them because they were too small or was hurting me...

TIA for any input and sharing of experiences.

Depends on the leather.
My Epsom didn't stretch but the new suede did a little.

The Orans are pretty comfortable & I have found that the leather does get softer with each wear.
But they do hold their shape. I don't think mine have stretched.
Perhaps try wearing them a little bit more & see how you feel.
I'm a 38.5 in mostly all my H shoes.. But every shoe runs & feels different. Is it possible to
try another pair in the same size to see perhaps if the "fit" is ore comfortable for you
