Product placement

Hailey Bieber (celebrity) - appears in the video as inspiration for the fashion choice. Removing her mention would not change what happens in the video. Toteme (brand) - ACTS - the brand name of the sandals being reviewed. Removing it would change what happens in the video. Farfetch (retailer) - ACTS - the website where the sandals were purchased. Removing it would change what happens in the video.

Trying Hailey Bieber's Black Thong Sandals Hailey Bieber was spotted wearing these black thong sandals, Toteme Leather Square Toe Sandals So these are the toteme leather square toe sandals. They were $560, so with tax, a bit over six hundred. And I ordered them from Farfetch. They were the only site that had my size. And wow the shipping was so great and they have such great inventory and so many great brands, they slipped on and fit pretty well, which made me really happy. I'm glad I did size down half a size. I find that's always the case with open toe shoes for me. I really love that these are genuine leather, so they're a lot more comfortable than faux leather, and the thong part already doesn't hurt. And I know once I start wearing them more, they'll break in and become softer and even more comfy. They're seriously so cute. They go with everything, and they're just the perfect summer sandal. But I don't know if they really work for my wide feet, because correct me if I'm wrong, but my pinky toe is on the very edge, and when I stretch my toes, my feet are for sure wider than the base of the sandal. But I don't know, is that an issue? Honestly, I feel like my judgement is being clouded because of the tie to Hailey and just how chic They are. So if your toes don't stretch like mine, I think these could work. But if they do, personally, I'm a little bit concerned. But they are very comfortable. And for $600, that's not too bad. Right? So I think I'm gonna keep them. But let me know if I'm making a mistake.
