I bought two pairs. One to leave at work & one for home. They are so comfortable. At work I have to have closed shows with only a peep toe. Thats fine until its warm outside. They allow my feet to breathe tho the comfy soul traps heat. But I don't care. Because that cousin catches all the shock of walking on these hard floors or the concrete of the school yard. I am going to buy a 3rd pair in another color. They do look PLASTIC. they work for work. They work for running out. But they aren't great as a summer sandal for somewhere nice unless u don't care. I wouldnt if my feet were hurting that day. Please make a glitter jelly in this shoe w the all the colors. I would LOVE IT.
