PROMISING REVIEW
"I've searched high and low, read countless reviews, and returned quite a few shoes before I found Sam Edelman's Rowan Slide. These slides are perfection...AT LAST! The fit is perfect and super comfortable. They instantly elevate any look—midi skirt, linen dress or pants, jean shorts and tee, you name it. It is taking all of my restraint and willpower not to order them in every color."

PROMISING REVIEW
"I've been looking to upgrade from Birkenstocks as my staple summer sandal, and I'm so glad I ordered these. They're comfortable and versatile and can be dressed up or down. I have wider feet, and these fit me well! But I would not suggest these if you have narrow feet."
