I guess I'm still on the hunt for the perfect travel sandal. This looked good but the pictures are so much better than in person. I bought the Black Printed Leather, which looks very nice in the picture. In person it just looks like crappy patent leather. It's all black with an embossed plaid pattern (no white or grey like in the picture) and is very shiny. That alone isn't the reason they're going back. Although the velcro doesn't bug me, despite my Barney Rubble-esque feet, they have an odd fit. The foot bed is very comfortable, but I could tell immediately that the strap across the toes will be insanely uncomfortable probably after just a couple of blocks. Back they go!
