I'm so excited to have found these on Amazon for $25 less than I was about to pay at the store. They are the perfect cross between a sandal and shoe. They're rugged enough for long walks, but cute enough to go with a skirt. The bottoms are rubbery and will work perfectly as a hot weather shoe - no leather soaking up sweat like most sandals. The rubbery bottoms also provide a cushion. Each step feels a little springy.

As for fit, I ordered a size 9 based on sizing guidelines and while they were fine in length, the toe box was excessively roomy. (I have narrow feet). So before re-ordering, I went to the store to try on a 8.5 which still worked in length and was a bit smaller in the toe box. Thanks to Amazon's easy return process, I sent the 9's back and the 8.5's are on on the way. Thanks, Amazon for carrying such fun shoes at an awesome price.
