I live in Florida and I wear sandals all year 'round. These are the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn. The insole has enough give to absorb the shock of walking on any terrain but is stiff enough that you don't feel like you're walking on balloons. The strapping system is widely and easily adjustable. The leather, I purchased the Dark Brown, is well dyed, the color is rich and even. The uppers are thick enough to be durable but not so thick that they don't flex. The tread has good traction on wet or dry. I love these sandals. Highly recommended!
