do not buy
I was really excited to see these on sale, and so disappointed when they arrived, and IN THE BOX 3 stones were already detached and on the loose. I replaced them, since the shoes are final sale, and in my FIRST day wearing them for less than 3 hours, 4 more were gone! They are now unwearable. What a waste of money, even if they are half off....do NOT buy, unless you reenforce each stone with gorilla glue prior to wearing.

Pretty, but very poorly made
I bought these sandals for my wedding, and although they look pretty, they fell apart within the first 4 hrs of wearing them on my wedding day. I lost 2 of the rhinestones and for $150 sandals, they absolutely should not have fallen apart the first time wearing them which unfortunately was my wedding day. I'm waiting to hear if they will refund them and haven't heard yet.

Beautiful only in the box....
Beautiful shoes while in the box, however, after 15 minutes of wearing them, I lost 5 stones. The stones are not glued in and therefore pop out quite easily. Luckily, BHDLN gave me a full return. These were my wedding shoes....I do not recommend since I lost half the stones before even walking downt he aisle :(

crystal clear beauty
Unlike other reviews so far, some I feel exaggerated below, we loved the sandals.
How do you loose 9 crystals for one sandal when it has a total of 9 on one foot !!!!!! I am sure they will exchange if all crystals fall of......
We brought these delicate looking sandals for my cousins wedding for 2 of the bridesmaids.
We wore these throughout the wedding. They were comfortable to dance in and walk on grass and nothing bad happened.
We love these COMFORTABLE sandals and will recommend to everyone who likes the clear look with crystals catching the light and all time wear.

Beautiful sandal, but expect to lose all the jewels after 1 wearing
Unlike the other reviewers, I didn't buy these shoes for a wedding, however I did think they would be beautiful footwear for the summer. After wearing them once, I noticed the jewels plopping out of the sandals when I walked down the street. I thought it was a fluke until later I noticed I was missing 2 to 3 stones from each sandal. The jewels aren't glued into the insets - just secured by weak prongs that (for whatever reason) pop up, unsecuring the jewels from the insets. I was thinking of going to my local craft store to replace the lost jewels, but considering how much these sandals cost - it's utterly ridiculous and a waste of time. I'd expect better quality for the price.

DON'T WEAR THESE SHOES!
I bought these shoes for their looks and comfort. When I got them I couldn't be happier, they were beautiful. During the reception, the crystals starting falling off. My guests kept bringing me them to me throughout the night. By the end of the night I was missing 11 (all the large crystals) and only had 7 left from both shoes together. (as you can see from the photo this shoe only had 2 left on it). The prongs are very cheaply made and bent by themselves, therefore releasing the crystals (that were not glued in place). For $150 these are awful. I would have had better luck at Payless.

Beautiful shoes, horrific quality.
I too bought these for my wedding and couldn't be more disappointed. I put them on for the first time to wear to my rehearsal dinner and by the end of the night realized one of the large stones had fallen out. These stones are not glued in or held by anything, other than tiny weak metal prongs. I called a friend frantically who picked up a second pair for me to wear the day of my wedding and by the time I got home from the reception the new sandals were missing 9 stones. Needless to say I am extremely upset.
I did call my local BHLDN as soon as I realized the problem with the first pair and the manager said she would make a note and I could return them after my honeymoon, but I don't know how they will handle the second pair. For the price I expect better quality. Although the sandals are so beautiful I would not recommend buying these! So sad.

Don't expect to wear these twice
I purchased these sandals for my May 2012 wedding. They are beautiful sandals, but beware: they are poor quality. I wore them to the wedding and they looked amazing! They were comfortable the entire time, even while dancing. However, the next morning, I wore them for a second time: from our hotel room down to breakfast at the hotel restaurant. When I got back up to the room, one of the large jewels was missing. Completely gone! Apparently it fell out during our walk down to breakfast. It appears that one of the brackets holding the jewel in place got bent back a bit and nothing else was holding it onto the sandal. I was incredibly disappointed. One of the primary reasons I purchased these sandals was because I felt that I would have many occasions to wear them after the wedding, as opposed to something like a pair of white satin heels that have limited use. I had planned to take these sandals to Paris for our honeymoon, but now I’m looking for a last-minute replacement before we leave. I am incredibly disappointed. I only recommend purchasing these if you are looking for a single-use pair of sandals, but at this price point, I personally expect more than that.

Bling is BEAUTIFUL!
I'm not sure what the other reviewer was expecting when she ordered these jeweled sandals-of course they're blingy. For reference, the jewels are roughly coin sized. The sandals can be worn for weddings and even everyday. I receive so many compliments whenever I wear them and, even if I didn't, I'd still love them nonetheless.

Beautifully made, but lots of bling
I bought these to wear with my vintage inspired lace wedding gown, and they just didn't work at all. The jewels pictures are much larger than I expected, and they were so sparkly and overwhelming that they took away from my dress. For someone with a more modern dress/wedding these might be perfect--but they definitely didn't work for me. These got sent back!
