I love these sandals. After reading reviews, I decided to buy a pair. I'm glad I did. I'm not a sneaker kind of lady, however I needed something that was somewhat rugged. I like to take my dog hiking and swimming and these are great for that. They are comfortable and sturdy and I even walked into the water to fetch a stick and they were fine! They are cute too! I also like to walk and I find these sandals very comfortable. After a 2-3 mile walk, my feet felt fine...no blisters and no sweat.
