Just got these today and started wearing them around the house to try them out. At first I was thinking the metal buckle was going to be rubbing and cause discomfort, however it's the right shoe that rubs between the toes, hopefully that stops as the footbed is really comfortable and supportive, and i would like to get a lot of use out of these sandals. The strap over the top of the foot is adjustable, which is a nice detail as leather tends to stretch over time.  Great value for the price.  Took off a star due to the right shoe rubbing.
