I ordered these sandals a week before our trip to China mainly for the long flight. My feet swell up and I had problems in the past to put my shoes back on once we reached the destination. We spent three weeks in China visiting friends and sightseeing. These sandals went everywhere. The Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Dam, the Yellow Mountain with its three thousand steps, and I was comfortable everywhere. Yes, I wore them daily. After the first week in morbidly humid and wet stay in Wuhan (we live in Colorado), they started to come apart. They sell a shoe-glue and overnight fix held them together for the rest of the trip. Many people on our tour had brand name shoes, hiking shoes and bandages. Many bandages. The Velcro front closure and a little buckle did the trick.
