Love these sandals for my son - they can get wet, they're breezy but still covered and the closes toe makes them a great choice for summer camps where close toed shoes are required. My son wears orthotics (we don't wear them with the sandal) but I think these offer some decent support during the summer months when we're not as good about wearing the orthotics. This is our second year buying this sandal and I would buy them again net year. They also go well with everything (fashion wise).
