Blair’s Review of the OTBT Beaufort Gladiator Sandal

Jul15

This is such a great sandal. First of all, OTBT shoes are designed to support you as you walk here and there, pursuing your adventures. They have a fabulous firm but supportive rubber outsole as well as a supportive and comfortable insole. The Beaufort is insanely comfortable – I love the customizable fit and the buckle detailing is as beautiful as it is functional. If you want a sandal you can put on and immediately walk for miles – if you want a sandal that looks fabulous and interesting – if you love orange – this is the sandal for you! And hey – it comes in other colors too! :-)
