Justfab Loni


Hi guys! This heeled sandal is called Loni! I got her in the Justfab sandal sale!! (Justfab USAJustfab CAYay! I also got a few more heeled sandals in the sale so stay tuned for more reviews! 

Okay so Loni is only available in this beautiful, mostly blue floral/palm print! That is what drew me to her! The colours are soooo bright! She is fabric and has a double platform and a thick heel. Generally I really hate thicker heels but I just could not pass up this shoe because the colours were just calling me!! Another unique thing about Loni is that even with the minimalistic strap idea on the top, there is still a double ankle strap, which is just very different. 

Style wise, I really like this shoe and despite my hate for thicker heels, they are very on trend right now! However, let's discuss the fit and comfort of this shoe! I ordered my true size in these shoes and the length was very long. As you can see in the photos I have lots of room....LENGTH wise but WIDTH wise...my goodness!! It is SOOOOO narrow! I think I have fairly average width feet but sometimes (especially with minimalist heels) I tend to order up if I need a little room width wise. These would be IMPOSSIBLE to simply order up because the length is already too long in my true size! If you were going to buy these shoes I would say order a half of a size down! If you have average to wider feet, I would suggest trying a different style altogether! 

Now with comfort, I really thought this would be comfortable and sturdy especially with the help of a thicker heel. I was surprisingly wrong! It isn't very comfortable, not only is the toe strap super tight (because it's narrow) but it's also a hard material and it digs in (because it's narrow) AND it doesn't feel sturdy! It really feels strange, I wouldn't say unsafe but it's very different. The padding isn't really there in the sole either, it feels quite hard as well and lacking shock absorbance! As beautiful as these shoes are, they are just not for me! I could add an insert at the back and the sole for comfort and to take away some of the extra room and prevent slipping but there is really nothing I can do (other than stretching) about the toe strap's width. Unfortunately these beauties are going to be headed back to Justfab in exchange for another blue, floral print heeled sandal!
