I have at least 15 pairs of Volatiles and every one is comfy and makes me happy. Except this one. The footbed is typical Volatile squishiness and delightfully comfortable but the straps are rough and hard edged.  I have tried to wear these 3x and each time they have ripped bloody holes just below my little toe on both feet. I hate these shoes as much as I love my other Volatiles. It makes me sad every time I look at them to know I dropped $60 on unwearable shoes.
