Matt Bernson Reviews
Adorable sandal, but not good for narrow feet. Toe strap is very comfortable, but upper strap very gappy.
Very cute and comfortable. There is a bit too much room from the thong to the end of the shoe and for me this means needing to order a full size larger.
Bought these in black and absolutely love them. Casual enough for pants but the gold tack details make them charming with a summer skirt. I have shorter toes and rather square feet and found them quite comfortable. My heel did want to slip off towards the inside when i first started wearing them but after a minor break in period, no complaints! So comfy!
These look great and are comfortable for what they are, but didn't feel like high enough quality for the price. The leather is two layers glued together, and I could foresee it eventually separating (like a cheap belt).
I am loving all the cork on shoes lately. Was excited to try these out because of the gold flecks, wide straps and platform wedge. I really like the shoe but found them awkward to walk in b/c the sole is a bit narrow. It made me feel like I'd twist my ankle. The footbed is nice and cushiony so I'd imagine they'd be comfy to wear all day. The wide straps are great (and lined with leather). Also, the incline isn't too steep. If they weren't so weird to walk in, they'd make a perfect summer shoe!
I bought this shoe in the cashew color. It is so much cuter in person than in the photos. I wasn't sure I was going to like the heel, but it is great and very stylish.
I've been wearing these sandals for about a month. They are pretty comfortable, look great, and I love the little lift they provide. My only complaint is that the leather at the edge of the far front of the shoe is torn and makes the shoes look very old. Since it occurred on both shoes, I believe it's a quality or design issue with this style, and not due to how I am walking in them (I've not seen this in any of my other sandals). I'll get them repaired at the shoemaker and keep wearing them because they are cute, but this is a bit disappointing.
I bought this style when it first came out, I like how Matt put foam in this version, making the soles more comfy for NYC walking. Upper leather a little tight at first for I have a wide fore foot, but in a few days the leather stretched perfectly and is a perfect fit! Leather is very good; it even survived a rain storm I was caught in.
I ordered these in black and absolutely love them. They are a VERY narrow sandal, so if you don't have narrow feet, these probably won't fit. The style is awesome and I receive compliments everywhere I go when I wear them. These are my third pair of Matt Bernson shoes and once again, I'm a satisfied customer.
This is a beautiful shoe - and truly well made. For some reason though, I swam in it. There is a little "v" at the toe and my foot seemed to move too far forward. I ordered my actual size but perhaps should have ordered a 1/2 or full size smaller, I'm not sure. Would be worth the try but I did return.
I am madly in love with these sandals! They were so comfortable from the moment I put them on. Matt Bernson makes a beautiful well made shoe. Very impressed.
This is a great sandal! It's very comfortable yet still very fashionable. I would suggest going a size up since they don't carry half sizes. I love Matt Bernson products. This is the third pair of shoes that I have purchased from Matt Bernson.
Love these sandals and so comfortable, and I love the distresses leather look. Fantastic!
If this had a little more bling to it I would have kept it for the comfort factor, but the shoe was very blah, even with the gold studs.
Bought these in Gold Crackle. These sandals are gorgeous. Wore them and they are extremely comfortable. For me, the ankle straps were not to short. However, I felt it was a bit difficult to adjust them (perhaps because they are new). Nevertheless, these are probably the prettiest sandals I've ever bought.

I absolutely love my Matt Bernson Gladiators! They are comfy, they are really good looking, and I think they are even flattering (as far as gladiators go)! The only downside on these shoes is that sometimes when you walk, you step on the little golden stud/grommet things that line the top of the insole. Sometimes this doesn’t feel great (mostly under the big toe), but you get used to it after a while and it’s not that big a deal. Also, it’s not the easiest to buckle - but seeing as how you’re doing that only once before you wear them, it’s not at all a big deal. I think these shoes are SERIOUSLY fabulous, hip and sassy - and quite comfortable to boot! I tried on a few different pairs of these shoes and this particular shoe fit very true to size and seemed to be made better than a few of the other gladiator styles.
Fabulous sandal. Extremely comfortable, beautifully made, great style. The ankle straps were too short for me. So sad. Would definitely have kept them otherwise.
