I bought these right before taking our 3 kids to a campground. I decided to risk wearing them even if they hurt. The first day i did get a red soar spot on my pinky toe from the triangle part everyone talks about. It only happened on my right foot & wasn't unbearable so I continued to wear them. Overall they feel pretty comfy, have great arch support and look cute! I got them wet and they felt very secure.. no slipping!
