Materials & Construction Quality
We craft the Loryce sandal with durable synthetic or genuine leather uppers, selected for their flexibility and smooth finish. The padded interior lining prevents rubbing and irritation, while the reinforced stitching along stress points ensures the straps maintain their shape season after season.
The cushioned footbed features moderate arch support and shock-absorbing foam that molds to your foot over time. Our flexible rubber outsole delivers reliable traction on indoor and outdoor surfaces, making these bandolino women’s loryce block heel sandals a dependable choice for varied terrain.
Block Heel Design & Stability
2.5-Inch Heel Height
The Loryce features a 2.5-inch stacked block heel that provides elevation without the instability of stilettos. This moderate heel height elongates the leg while keeping your center of gravity low, making it ideal for professionals who are on their feet throughout the day.
Weight Distribution
Our block heel design distributes your body weight more evenly than narrow heels, reducing pressure on the ball of your foot. The wide heel base offers a stable platform that minimizes wobbling on uneven surfaces, giving you confident strides whether you’re navigating city sidewalks or office hallways.
Sizing & Fit Recommendations
The bandolino women’s loryce block heel sandals run true to standard US sizing with a medium width profile. We recommend ordering your typical shoe size for the best fit, though customers with wider feet may prefer sizing up a half size for additional room across the forefoot.
The adjustable ankle strap accommodates various ankle circumferences and instep heights, with approximately 1.5 inches of adjustability from the tightest to loosest setting. If you typically wear a half size, we suggest rounding up for open-toe styles like the Loryce to prevent your toes from extending past the sandal’s edge.

For synthetic versions, simply wipe the uppers with a damp cloth after each wear to remove dust and surface dirt. Leather versions benefit from regular conditioning every 4-6 weeks to prevent drying and cracking.
Avoid submerging the sandals in water or wearing them in heavy rain, as prolonged moisture can weaken adhesives and damage the footbed. If they do get wet, stuff them with newspaper and air-dry away from direct heat. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve colors and materials.
