Ive only had the sandals for 1 day but I've got more good than bad to say about them. Right out of the box, they feel soft and ready to be worn. The footbed is a great alternative to cork. It's soft, coshiony, easy to slide your foot into and even easier to wear around all day.The top foot straps feels soft yet durable, It feels as though the straps along with the footbed slightly mold to match the shape of your foot. The straps are snug fitting over the arch of my foot with enough room to allow my feet to breathe. The heel strap however seems to be the only thing lacking.The heel strap is slightly larger than the arch strap and is easy to spot the excess, as in, it doesn't hide the heel strap very well. That excess translates into slight discomfort while wearing. When I say "discomfort," I'm referring to the extra space you have between your heel and the heel strap when you're foot rests in a neutral position. The heel strap is flexible and able to bend and shape easy enough so having just a little extra room makes it easy for your foot to almost slip out. Though it is just a tad large, it doesn't make the sandal hard to wear.Onto the sole of the sandal. The sandal has a decently quiet step and a decently soft one at that. I wouldn't recommend walking through the rocks or tough sands with the sandal but you really should with any sandals.Overall, im satisfied with the sandals and will likely use them as my everyday relaxation footwear.
