Description
Bow platform wedge sandals you step straight into
These are backless wedge sandals: one wide band over the foot, an open toe, and a platform and wedge made as a single block. On the band sits a large black bow, pinned in the middle by a gold-coloured ring shaped like a chain link.
They come in black on a gold-coloured sole, in sizes 34 to 43. The supplier says they fit true to size.

The piece: a wedge slide by Aloha Sandals
The sandals are sold under the label Aloha Sandals. Our supplier lists three materials, PU leather, polyester and rubber, without saying which part is made of which. It calls the heel high and gives no height in centimetres, so we do not quote one.
The photos fill in the look. The sole is gold-coloured all round, with a texture on the side that imitates woven rope, and the footbed has a fine grain. The bow has the soft sheen of a satin-like fabric. The shoes ship without a box, which the supplier states up front.
Who they're for
For you if you like height in summer and would rather stand on a wedge than on a thin heel. A wedge carries your weight along the whole foot, and the platform under the toes takes some of the slope out of the heel.
They are slides, so nothing holds the heel. If you walk fast or far, a sandal with an ankle strap will serve you better. For a dinner, a terrace or a party these are the easy choice.

Materials and build
PU leather, polyester and rubber: that is the full list from the supplier. PU leather is a man-made material with a leather look. The supplier does not break the list down by part, and we will not guess which goes where.
What the photos show is a sole unit made in one piece from toe to heel, and a bow that is sewn onto the band and gathered by the ring.
Size: true to size, 34 to 43
The supplier's advice is to order your usual size. Its chart gives a foot length per size, from 22.1 cm for size 34 to 26.4 cm for size 43. We converted those figures from inches and rounded to one decimal.
Measure your foot from heel to longest toe, standing, at the end of the day. Pick the size whose foot length matches or is just above yours. With a backless shoe a size too large slips, so do not size up for comfort.

Styling: let the bow do the work
In the photos they are worn with cropped light jeans and a fine ankle chain. That works because the hem stops above the bow. Midi dresses, shorts and wide cropped trousers do the same.
Black and gold tones go with almost any colour. Keep the rest calm: one more gold-coloured accent, a bag or a bracelet, is enough.
Occasions
Summer dinners, a wedding as a guest, a city trip evening, drinks on a terrace. They are dress-up sandals. For the beach or a long walk, take flat ones along.
Care
The supplier gives no care instructions for these sandals. A sensible routine for this kind of shoe: wipe the sole and band with a soft, slightly damp cloth, let them dry in the air, and keep the bow away from rain where you can. Do not put them in the washing machine.
The wow detail: a bow with a ring through it
A bow on a sandal can look sweet. This one does not, because of the ring. The chunky chain-link shape pulls the fabric together and adds a hard, shiny edge to the soft bow. It picks up the gold tone of the sole, so shoe and ornament read as one design.
