I may have to change this review after wearing the sandals longer, but as of now I'm giving them 4 stars. There was one major problem with them. Be prepared to have to pull metal off the very top of the zippers. The way it is on there causes it to dig into the back of your ankles. Very dumb design choice on the part of the manufacturer. If I would not have pulled the metal out, my ankles would have been raw within 30 minutes. I was actually trying to figure out how to put some sort of padding protection there, which would be very difficult because the zipper is there. That is when I felt the sharp metal poking out at the top of the zipper. A needle nose pliers, and some snippers later, and the problem is solved.
