For me, the Orans are beautiful and comfortable, HOWEVER, not if you plan on walking for long periods of time (miles). I wore them while vacationing on the Vineyard a few weeks ago and we did a ton of walking...no way!! They were a bit brutal but maybe because it was a new pair. They were still tight and kept flying off my feet (quite funny though...lol).
I wore them again this past weekend while shopping/dining with the girls and they were just fine. So it just depends, I guess.

Egerie is super uncomfortable at the thong section for the first two weeks of wear. It’s such hard rubber it sometimes feels like you’re holding a metal or wooden pipe between your toes. After two weeks, more comfy than Aloha because they grip the feet so well. I may have to get another pair I love them so much.
Edit: spelling

This was my experience as well. Painful between the toes at first but never to the point of causing any blisters. Then the sandals seem to soften with use and are much easier to wear.
I feel like orans require a certain amount of breaking in. I used to avoid them before I realised this but once they are broken in then I personally think they are one of the most comfortable shoes even for long periods of walking
I personally find Santorini to be the most comfortable sandals. I have used them for a couple Europe vacations and have managed to walk 10+ miles in them everyday without any issues. Initially my hubby kept asking me if they will be comfortable enough to walk long distance since our Europe trips r mostly walking around city centers.
Encens my other favorite sandals are very slippery and uncomfortable on cobblestones in Europe but I use them comfortably in the US

Would you please let me know if the Santorini sandals are TTS? I wear size 38 in oran sandals but 37.5 in Elixir sandals. TIA
Santorini sandals are TTS. I wear 39 in Santorini and oran. 38.5 Paris loafer since I like the snug fit
The oasis sandals are aren’t very comfortable in smaller sizes, or maybe my toes are just a bit short but the tip of my little toes keep on hitting the edge, which makes it pretty painful to walk on. Also for some reason they haven’t incorporated the single leather insole like they did in the orans, so it rubs the soles of my feet :/
I ended up getting the YSL tribute sandals and they’re so much more comfortable!

My gold Orans have been broken in through lots of blisters and pain, and now, I honestly find them the MOST COMFORTABLE sandals. I can walk all day in them. I have 3 other oran sandals (pink/red bicolor combo, white, and croc) that I haven't broken in as much, and I just wear them sparingly, hoping they get the same comfort level as my gold ones. It pains me to think of buying a replacement gold pair one day to break them in all over again. Sob.
I’m team santorini vs orans. I wear 40.5 in Orans but 39 in santorini and I dnt exactly have narrow feet lol. It’s been cold so haven’t really taken my santorini for a real test drive yet ( bought them in october 2022). I jst like the fact that it keeps my feet in place while walking ( tnx to the strap) unlike the orans which i find to be quite uncomfortable.
U will love the Santorini! The strap is definitely a blessing. I walk miles in them and they are so comfortable
