I have a high arch and a slew of forefoot problems, extremely compressible feet, connective tissue disorder.  Earthies from a few years ago have the best footbed for that.  The only issues for me are that, while the former inflexible sole is good to control motion in my feet, it was bad for walking on uneven sidewalks and their foot shape is usually cut for a narrow forefoot with long tapered toes.  My forefoot is nearly wide and my toes are almost all the same length.  This shoe has an adjustable forefoot strap and the sole has some amount of give to it so uneven sidewalks aren't as likely to cause a twisted knee or ankle.  The forefoot strap also hides my bone spur.  But I could swear the arch support is less pronounced or there is more toe spring or something that seems like there is more pressure on my forefoot than the older models.  I usually eschew cork because it is strictly casual, and hate buckles because I have to be in-and-out of my shoes so often, but had to make an exception for these.  There is nothing my finicky feet can stay in for very long except for a flat, extra-depth winter boot with my custom orthotic, but this is about as close as it gets for a sandal.  I found it true to size, but I have squarish toes that would not be likely to hang over the front anyway.  As for looks, I like that it is fairly sleek and simple and that the mid foot is somewhat exposed, as that is more flattering for me.  Most styles now cover that up, and it is the more feminine part of the foot to me..... not to mention that it keeps the tissue damage/edema under my ankle from being all you can see.
