These sandals are a matte metallic platinum gold. They are comfortable and secure yet regal and sexy. These dreamy sandals make me feel like tomorrow morning I'll wake up beside Pharaoh.

The toe post and the ankle strap are fine, I have no issues at all with either and these run true to size. I'm a size 9 and the size 9 fits like a dream. However, given my narrow meatless feet one should take my review with a grain of salt... Or sand?

Very beautiful and incredibly unique, they're sure to grab eyes and intrigue. Perfect for picnics, the cafe, the library, dinner, house parties and more. I love that it looks like I'm wearing real golden sandals. I've worn them for both long and short walks with no problem. If you're not used to "zero drop" shoes, you may want to build up a tolerance for that gradually.

My rating loses a star for the cheap musty floral Payless Shoesource smell. I expected frankincense and myrrh. Is this supposed to be lotus? Anywho, for sandals this fire, why is the scent giving me flashbacks of a discontinued store I visited as a little kid in the late 90s early 2000s???? Forget the palace, these smell like the embalming room!

This is my second pair of Katy Perry gelis. First pair are the lime ones which smell fantastic and made my closet smell like lime candy.

These matte gelis have a different skinfeel than the shiny semi transparent gelis. Less squeaky more smooth.

UPDATE

Discoloration occurs on the insole where the pressure points are (heel, ball of foot, toes) revealing that these sandals are in fact "painted" the matte platinum gold. The gold that's underneath the paint is more shiny and looks like normal gold.

However it doesn't change the overall look, feel or function of the sandal when worn on the feet (the pyramid and straps still look the same. Nobody is going to see the changed insole while it's being worn).

To be fair, I walk in these A LOT so I highly doubt most peoples' pairs will be anywhere near as worn (literally!)

I LOVE these shoes and actually didn't realize they were supposed to smell. I didn't have my readers on and thought the circle tag must have said size "8" but when I put my readers on they said "smell me" and laughed and LOVED IT!!! I wore them to the RBC Heritage Golf Tournament, where I live, and people completed them and then, of course, I took them off for them to smell the coconut scent. AWESOME!
My best friend, college roommate, for 40 years husband runs the tournament and she kept laughing, but embarrassed that I would take my shoe off. Who cares and life is too short to experience something that cool!! Thank you!!!

So, these are 10/10 on a cuteness meter, but unfortunately they're only a 6/10 in terms of comfort between the toes. I've lived at the beach most of my life, so I already knew how slippery jelly shoes would be after getting out of the water, but I wasn't expecting the discomfort between the toes where the palm tree embellishments are. I'll wear them poolside or to friends' houses for get together where I won't have much walking to do, but I'll never wear them to the beach again or to anyplace that requires trekking around.

Very cute sandals with watermelon scent. What is not to like?
Not for long wear since the sole is very thin but otherwise very nice. True to size. Suit my narrow feet.

The look, the fit, easy to wear!
