I will start with the positive. They look nice on. That is about all that I can say that is positive. I have always come to rely on Sketcher's for comfortable shoes that look good. I have several pair of Sketcher's sandals and several pair of their activewear shoes. This is the 1st pair that are so uncomfortable! I am hoping to be able to get used to them. The straps dig in on the top of my foot and the sole is very rough. It is not comfortable under my foot at all. I hope I can adapt. I hate returning anything.
