I love these shoes. I don't do open toed, strappy sandals. I have 4 kids I'm chasing after and need something sturdy and comfortable that will stay on my feet. These fit the bill. And they're cute to boot. I used prime wardrobe to try on these and 2 other similar pairs and these were the clear winner and totally worth the price (and I'm usually a Payless shopper). I've been wearing them for a couple of months now and I'm hopeful that they'll last a couple of years.
