I just got some of the Salvas and think they’re pretty comfortable. I got my usual size and initially thought they were slightly too small but they are fine and no break-in period, although I haven’t walked all day or anything in them yet. I never heard of them until I saw an acquaintance wearing them and thought they looked cute. My only complaint so far is that they are constantly sold out or waitlisted on the site. I ended up getting plain white bc they were the quickest to arrive but would not have been my first choice.

I ordered cariumas and returned them. I thought they were super cute, but they were not comfortable on me. I think it was either the rise on the upper -- cutting into that bone on the top part of my foot (metatarsals?) -- or it was too narrow a toe box. (Sorry, I bought two at the same time and one had each problem, so can't remember which was which.) They seem to work okay for some people though. The return was pretty easy -- my memory is that I took it to World Market and they returned it from there.

I like my Cariumas, they are good enough, but they are like a 6/10 for comfort for me. I will try a different brand next time.
