My wife, like many women has a closet full of shoes that are too tight, too loose or have some other distracting feature that will almost eliminate their being worn. These sandals, however are and have been her favorites for a very long time. So long that they finally wore out and these were their replacements. Having peripheral neuropathy, my wife needs all the footwear comfort she can muster up. While these sandals are not exactly for dress wear they fully meet her everyday needs. Guess we had better order out more as i`m afraid they may stop making them and then we will be "up the creek with no paddle".
