When I ordered these shoes I read all the reviews by other customers. The comment I saw the most was "comfy". Now I wonder whether we are writing about the same item. The shoes appear to be reasonably well made and look as pictured. Unfortunately the soles are quite hard and there is absolutely no arch support.  I had planned to wear them while sightseeing during my trip abroad but I guess I will only use them when going back and forth to the beach.
