Which is better for standing or walking all day?

The Mattison 3S. Its EVA and foam insole, platform and rubber outsole cushion and grip better than the Babette's leather sole. The Babette is a dress sandal with a 60mm heel.

Is the Babette worth the extra money?

If you need a polished heel, yes. It costs about $30–$47 more in recent pricing, but you get a leather insole and sole and Spanish construction. For casual wear, the Mattison at $70.00 is the better value.

Which has a more secure fit?

The Mattison has three adjustable ripstop straps, so it adapts more. The Babette relies on one buckle ankle strap. Some Mattison buyers say the strap runs tight with no way to loosen it.

The Mattison's rubber and PVC outsole resists wear and wet ground better than the Babette's leather sole. The Babette's leather upper and insole are high quality but need more care.

Do both come in medium width?

Yes. Both are listed in women's medium width. The Mattison lists US sizes 4–11; the Babette uses a standard size run.

The Babette. Its suede or leather upper, round toe and covered block heel suit dresses and office wear. The Mattison's patent leather, studs and platform read casual.
