I love these sandals. They are the latest fashion, and I love the bling that's part of the white color I ordered. The fabric is very soft and forgiving, with some elastic around the back of the heel area hidden in the fabric. Along with the yoga mat soles, that's what makes these so comfy to wear. Also, having that fabric between my toes instead of rubber or plastic is a real step up from regular flip-flops or things. I just hope I don't regret ordering white, since stains on the fabric may really show. Have only worn them once so far, since it's not summery enough yet for white!
