That’s me on the left during my honeymoon — I wore them all over Italy, whether it was the beach, a boat tour, or walking through cities for miles. They’re perfect with dresses because the gold pops, and they’re so comfortable compared to less supportive sandals or heels. To make these last longer, use their shoe care kit to protect the cork and make them waterproof!"
