Three under-$100 sandals with different visual jobs
The PU Leather Open Toe Low Heel Sandals are listed at $75.99. Their product information specifies PU and rubber; the name describes an open toe and a low heel. This is the straightforward starting point if you want an understated upper rather than embellishment. Compare the actual product images and selectable colors instead of assuming every variant looks identical.
At the same listed price of $75.99, the Rubber Open Toe Low Heel Sandals list rubber and microfiber. The different material description is a reason to examine the upper closely—not evidence that they are softer, safer on wet ground or more durable. The available product description does not establish those performance outcomes.
For a more decorative option, the Crystal Embellished Low-Heel Sandals are listed at $79.99 and specify PU leather, rubber and rhinestones. Their imagery shows leaf-like crystal details across two upper straps. The finish changes the styling decision even though the heel category remains low.
Material changes the questions to ask
Do not read 'PU leather' as genuine leather. PU describes a synthetic leather-like material, and the other plain pair is listed with rubber and microfiber. Before choosing between them, look at the close-up of the upper and how its edges meet the foot. Ask whether there is an exposed seam at a point your foot usually rubs; the catalog photo cannot prove a comfortable fit, but it can help you identify a detail worth checking. Rhinestone decoration creates another practical check: consider whether the raised detail might catch on the hem of a delicate garment or need more careful storage.
Use the foot-length chart before selecting a size
The PU and rubber–microfiber options list a foot length of 9 inches at US 5 and 10.4 inches at US 11; the crystal-detail listing shows US 4 at 8.8 inches through US 10 at 10 inches in its supplied chart. These are the respective listings' guidance, not a universal cross-brand conversion. Measure both feet while standing, use the longer measurement as your starting point, and compare it with the specific product's currently displayed size chart. A sandal's open toe does not remove the need to check width, strap placement and whether your foot sits fully on the footbed. There is no verified width or exact heel-height measurement here, so do not infer either from the product name.

Decide where the sandals will actually go
Picture a simple warm-weather outfit that could head to the store, then to a casual meal. If you want the footwear to remain visually quiet, compare the two undecorated pairs with the trouser hem or skirt you usually wear. If the shoes should carry more of the outfit's detail, the rhinestone pair may provide that focal point; take a look at the color available in your size before planning a matching bag. This is a styling comparison, not a claim that any of these products is suitable for long-distance walking or an all-day standing shift.
If you are comparing higher or more dramatic heel profiles, visit our separate pumps, block and stiletto sandal comparison. That guide answers a different question: which overall heel silhouette suits an occasion.
Keep the $100 ceiling honest at checkout
All three products had a listed minimum price below $100 when this comparison was prepared. A minimum product price is not proof that every size, color or region-specific variant costs the same. Open the product page, select the actual options you need and confirm the current product price and availability before ordering. Shipping and any applicable taxes are additional considerations when calculating your final spending limit. You can also browse the broader Sandals & Slides collection, but do not assume every product in that collection fits this budget.
Quick questions
Does low heel mean the three sandals have the same heel height?
No. The catalog labels them low heel but does not supply an exact measured heel height for these three listings.
Are the PU sandals made from genuine leather?
No genuine-leather claim is supported by the listed material. The product specifies PU and rubber.
Is the $79.99 embellished pair available in every size?
Its product has positive recorded inventory, but size-level availability can change. Check the selected variant on its product page.
A useful under-$100 comparison does more than group three prices together: it helps you decide whether you want the plain PU upper, the rubber–microfiber alternative or an embellished look, then makes you check fit and the actual selected variant before buying.
