Learn how to choose the right size and get the most support from the MAGRIT SELENE sandals, featuring a low heel and crystal embellishments.
Quick answer
The MAGRIT SELENE sandals offer a delicate, low-profile design with a 1 cm heel, making them best for casual or dressy flat-wear. For the best fit, order your usual size if you have a narrow to medium foot; those with wider feet may need to size up.
Why fit matters for the SELENE design
The SELENE is an esclava-style sandal, meaning it wraps around the foot with multiple thin straps. A proper fit is essential to prevent slipping or pressure points, especially since the straps are non-adjustable.
The 1 cm heel is nearly flat, so the sandal relies entirely on the strap placement for security. If the fit is off, you may experience heel slippage or discomfort across the top of the foot.
Support considerations for a flat sandal
With a heel height of just 1 cm, the SELENE offers minimal arch support. This is typical for flat sandals of this style, so if you need significant arch support, consider adding a thin, clear insole or look for a sandal with a contoured footbed.
The leather upper will soften and conform slightly to your foot over time, improving comfort. However, the support level will not change dramatically, so plan for short to medium wear durations initially.
How to choose your SELENE size and wear
- Measure your foot length: Trace your foot on a piece of paper, measure from heel to longest toe, then compare to the MAGRIT size chart. The SELENE runs true to size for narrow and medium widths. If between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.
- Check the strap placement: The SELENE has fixed straps, so ensure the widest part of your foot aligns with the strap that crosses the instep. If the strap digs in or feels loose, consider a half-size adjustment. Wear the sandals indoors on carpet for 30 minutes to test strap comfort before committing to outdoor wear.
- Break them in gradually: Because the leather is stiff when new, wear the SELENE for short periods (1-2 hours) for the first few wears. This allows the leather to soften without causing blisters. Apply a leather conditioner to speed up softening without damaging the crystal embellishments.
