Fit notes
The header text says 38-44 while the spec line lists 35-45, so confirm the stocked size first. Format-level guidance puts the Oran true to size, with wide feet or a high instep advised to go up half a size, and with the foot reaching neither end of the footbed.
Buy if
You want a casual, easy-on backless slide in blue leather, and you are willing to treat the fit guidance below as format-level rather than as a description of this pair.
Skip if
You want cushioning or instant comfort out of the box, or you need item-specific buyer feedback before committing to a slide with a stiff leather upper.

Buying FAQ
Format-level guidance says they generally run true to size. Buyers with wider feet or a high instep are advised to go up half a size, since the H strap covers a narrow portion of the foot.
The common check is that your foot reaches neither end of the sandal. Length fit matters more than leather variation on a backless slide.
Authentication guides describe the genuine Oran sole as very thin, smooth leather with only a small rubber heel patch, while counterfeit pairs often use a thick rubber sole. It is a concrete point to raise with the seller.
Some narrow-footed buyers report the upper leather stretches and the foot slides forward as the sandal is worn. Sizing so your foot sits clear of both ends is the usual precaution.
Long-term owners report visible wear on the leather footbed and sole with regular summer use, and maintenance or repair comes up often in those discussions.
