This is my second pair of Berg sandals, both are the dark brown. I bought this pair as a replacement to my well loved and well worn original pair. The Bergs are very comfortable for a flat footed person, even though they are not padded. I can be on my feet all day and not be uncomfortable at the end of the day. The heel strap is adjustable and keeps your foot from moving around too much in the sandal. They have a leather-like sole so no sweat or other grossness builds up and they can easily be wiped off if you get them wet or sandy. Aesthetically, I get compliments on them all the time, they are just so cute and functional. I will definitely be purchasing more when my original pair finally succumbs to the wear and tear of fishing and beach-going (they are about 2 yrs old so they last a LONG time!).
