I haven't yet worn them at length to tell if they are uncomfortable over a period of time, but they are comfortable walking around the house. The straps do not squeeze my arch nor toes. The sandals were beautifully made and exactly as pictured!! Everyone that has seen them loves them! They run true to size. Normally sandals that zip up in the back run a bit large in circumference for my ankle, but having the adjustable buckle made it fit my ankle perfectly! Love! Definitely recommend!
