Quick answer

LOLA sandals are built with a soft leather mix, an 8 cm heel, and an extra-comfort footbed, so most shoppers can take their usual size and fine-tune the fit with the side buckle. If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, size up and use the buckle to secure the cross straps.

What the 8 cm heel and extra-comfort footbed mean for all-day wear

The LOLA is not a flat sandal, and that changes how you should think about comfort. An 8 cm heel lifts your foot into a more formal stance, which suits dinners, events, and long days that mix sitting and standing. The extra-comfort footbed is the counterweight: it gives the sole a softer, more forgiving surface than a standard dress sandal.

That combination works best when you are realistic about use. If you need a sandal for a wedding or a city day with varied surfaces, the LOLA is a strong choice. If you want a sandal for a full day of standing on hard floors, a lower heel will usually feel easier by evening. Neither is a flaw; they are different jobs.

How the cross straps and side buckle affect fit

The thin straps cross over the foot and fasten with a side buckle, so the fit is not fixed the way a closed shoe is. That is good news for slightly different foot shapes, because you can loosen or tighten the buckle to keep the straps from pressing. It also means the sandal should feel secure but not tight when you first put it on.

A common mistake is buckling the LOLA as tight as it will go in the shop. Thin straps can feel fine standing still and then dig in after an hour of walking. Fasten the buckle so you can still slide a finger under the strap, then walk a few steps. If your foot slides forward, tighten one notch; if the strap leaves a mark, loosen one.

When to size up and when to stay with your usual size

The LOLA uses a combination of soft leathers, which will give slightly with wear. That matters for sizing: a pair that feels snug across the toes on day one often relaxes after a few wears. If the straps already feel tight when you try them on, going up a size is usually the safer call, especially for wider feet or a high instep.

There is no separate LOLA-specific size chart in the catalog, so use the brand's general women's sandal sizing as your baseline and treat the buckle as your adjustment tool. If you normally wear a half size and the LOLA is offered in whole sizes, choose the larger size when you plan to wear the sandals for long events, and the smaller size only if you prefer a close, secure fit for short outings.

LOLA sizing and comfort questions, answered

Do LOLA sandals run true to size?

Start with your usual women's sandal size. The soft leather mix and adjustable side buckle give some room to fine-tune, but the sandal should not feel tight across the toes when new. If you are between sizes, go up. Order your normal size first; use the buckle for fine-tuning, not for fixing a too-small fit.

Are LOLA sandals comfortable for all-day wear?

They are comfortable for events, dinners, and days with a mix of sitting and standing, thanks to the extra-comfort footbed. The 8 cm heel is higher than a flat sandal, so plan accordingly if you will be on your feet on hard surfaces for many hours. Match the heel to your day: great for occasions, less ideal for nonstop standing.

How do I use the side buckle to get the right fit?

Fasten the buckle so the cross straps sit flat against your foot without pressing. You should be able to slide a finger under the strap. Walk a few steps; if your foot slides forward, tighten one notch, and if the strap leaves a mark, loosen one. Adjust the buckle while walking, not just standing still.

What should I do if I have wide feet?

Size up and rely on the side buckle to take in the extra room. The thin straps can feel restrictive on a wider foot if you stay with a smaller size, and the soft leather will only stretch so much. Wide feet: size up first, then adjust the buckle.

Is there a LOLA-specific size chart?

The catalog does not list a separate LOLA size chart, so use MAGRIT's general women's sandal sizing as your reference. The buckle and soft leathers give you some flexibility, but they do not replace choosing the right base size. Use the general women's sandal size guide, then fine-tune with the buckle.
