Comfy and Stylish/ Get lots of compliments
These are one of my favorite “go-to” shoes. They can be casual or dressed up a little more. They are comfortable and fit true to size. They are stiffer than I anticipated from the picture, but they ended up working well for me. If you are looking for a more flexible shoe, this is not the shoe for you. The straps are adjustable, and it will adjust to your foot over time. However, the material is a little more of a hard plastic than the rubber sandal material. I loved these, though. I have a higher arch, and these were just enough support for that as well. I have worn these to walk in as well as in office as a work dress shoe. Very versatile, and I am very pleased with this purchase.

Great sandal for the money- not a true “hiking sandal” though.
These are great. I wasn’t sure about which size to get- I am a 9, typically, but depending on shoe, it can differ. Sometimes I go 9.5, but that’s either in running shoes or some dress shoes. The 8.5/9 fit me perfectly.As far as adjustability, the strap behind the heel is what is adjustable. It connects to the straps that cross over the top of the foot, on either side. You can slide the heel strap up or down (or forward or back, depending on how you look at it), and it makes for a more snug or loose fit. My guess about people saying the straps get loose over time, *may* have something to do with this feature being a little more mobile after some wear. But, it could also be that the braids tighten up, making the straps be just a tiny bit longer than at purchase. Either way, for now they are great and I think for the price point (these aren’t Chacos, after all) the quality is good and even if they stretch a bit, I would be glad I bought them.They are incredibly light, and the support is good- it’s firm, without being stiff in the sole, or hard on the bottom of the feet. It’s also not annoyingly squishy, which can feel kinda gross to my feet, especially if the shoe gets wet. In fact, I suppose they’re so comfortable that the only way I think about my feet is to stop to consider how good they are feeling from time to time.The bottom of the soles are not what I could consider “hiking” sandals. They have texture for sure, but it is more like a light but dense foam/ (plastic?) I will feel ok wearing these in drier, slightly rough terrain, but I personally would not feel comfortable relying on them on wet or potentially slippery hikes.. however I’ve seen some reviews here that say they use them for that and with no issues. I suppose if they prove themselves trustworthy, then after some time I might give them a go at wetter conditions.They are quiet shoes, with the exception of the light sound of my heel lifting off of the back of the sole. I don’t know that that is avoidable, but the shoes themselves don’t make a lot of noise on the ground- indoor or outdoor.Overall, I would definitely recommend them. I will be using them for travel – to have a utilitarian sandal that can also be dressed up. Then just around town in my regular life when I return. If anything significant comes up after using them for sometime, I will edit this post.

Comfort & Style!
I actually love these sandals! I have a bad back and have a difficult time with shoes. It’s nice to have something comfortable that still looks stylish! The color goes with everything, and they are very simple to put on and off. Great for daily wear, walks and great vacation shoes!

Very cute , comfortable, wouldn’t recommend for hiking
Amazing sandals right out the box , extremely comfortable as I was off and “running” (walking and trekking) through the streets of Portugal. I probably walked 50 miles in these on slippery tile , road and sand and they’ve held up decently. Love that they can be used as a flip flop too. My feet are finicky – wide and I’ve got a bunion but had absolutely no issues with the fit . The straps are very forgiving and slightly stretchy and the foot bed is very soft and comfortable after about 5 miles a day of walking . I wouldn’t use these for hiking – the tread isn’t deep enough . Also , I noticed a decent amount of wear after about 50 miles or so. Also on the slippery tiled roads of Portugal, I found myself slipping every so often. I would purchase again for casual day trips and I’m not regretful at all for bringing them on my vacation. They suited their need with some slight issues . Buy them! They’re a great value , very cute and stylish and most of all, comfortable !

Si vas a viajar y caminar mucho estás sandalias son las mejores!! No lastiman ni cansan el pie para nada!! Las recomiendo muchísimo, son muy muy cómodas para caminar por muchas horas o estar parada mucho tiempo. Los straps son suaves no lastimas ni dejan ampollas para nada.

Very cute and comfortable but it feels like they’re not going to last more than a couple of seasons.

These sandals are comfortable, they have excellent grip, and look nice. The best combination. I wore them on a recent trip and they kept me cool, comfortable and I felt secure with their grip.
