This is my 3rd pair of this style of shoe. I am still wearing the other 2 pairs but these are so great for my back that I wanted another pair for back up. Alegria makes really good sandals. Quality materials and great footbeds. I have lower back problems and have to look for a shoe or sandal that does not make my back ache after wearing. These are the sandals. ( I live where sandals are worn for at least 8 months of the Year) I have several pairs of sandals but these are my go to ones and they have seen plenty of wear but they are still awesome.
