I was going to Costa Rica and after reading the reviews so was everyone else or had been there with these! These were fabulous there. I received them the day before we went and had no time to break them in but they were totally fine the whole time we were there. I used them on the beach, on the roads, on a run, and on a hike through the Cloud Forest and they gave me the support that I needed and held up great. The people that we went with asked if my shoes were Keens because they look so similar. Definitely worth the money and still great quality. They came in an array of different colors and some patterns to choose from which was nice. I usually wear an 8 1/2-9 and I chose the 9. They weren't too big and fit perfect. What I also loved about these is they don't make your feet look like you're wearing skis or chunky. As slimming as a sandal can get...these do the job!
The only thing that was negative was one of the little loops on the shoes broke off during the week I had them. (But like I said I really put these to the test that week.) They still work great, but if they all start plucking off Ill have a problem. But for the price they are excellent and I would buy again.
