I had seen them in February, and yet again in May on the Manolo's Shoe Blog and visited Zappos each time while making mental notes.
But I guess I forgot about them until I saw a fellow ferry traveler in Nantucket wearing them, wearing them so very well indeed.
By now I had forgotten their name and manufacturer (Mojito; Bernardo), so I engaged in some research that overheated my happily vacationing computer, till I located them again.
But this time I read the reviews (this can either be a genius or self-defeating move) and determined that about nine-out-of-ten wearers either sent back the sandals or were *very* unhappy with how the sandals fit.
So, gentle readers, should I jump at this "last" chance or be happy that I've avoided what may be a disappointing fit?

My mother wears Bernardos, without complaint. That said, I can't vouch for this particular model.
They were, apparently, a great favourite of Jacqueline Kennedy as well!
Maybe these are limousine sandals. Did Jackie Kennedy ever have to walk very far? I bet they look pretty with a pedicure though. It might be a question of form over function with these, I think.
Funny, I was just talking to my daughter about a pair of Camper sandals that were supposed to be a summer mainstay. Love the look of them with so many outfits but end up avoiding them because of the way my little toe gets crushed an hour or so into a day in them. Comfortable, well-fitting at the cash register, they only get out on non-walking, non-standing occasions now.
Still, those Bernardos are so perfect, and maybe they'll work with your feet. . .
I already have a pair of limousine shoes: 4-inch yellow scallop booties from L.A.M.B. I wear them in the classroom only on movie days :-)
Bernardo's are beautifully made and comfortable, besides free shipping both ways from Zappo's, if the fit is off they can be returned easily. I say go for it!
What color are you getting?
As for colour, I'm limited to what's in my size, aka "not much," at this late stage of summer!
