I have 3 pairs of these these: black, red and aqua. They were a good choice for me since I cannot seem to wear stappy sandals any longer without my instep bothering me. I now have to wear shoes with a "low cut" on them and forget backless! I chose these for the summer because the cut out design and open toe would be for me like wearing sandals. They are very "cushy" to stand or walk in for extensive periods of time. The cut out's do kind of bother my toes after a wearing them awhile, but I will still get alot of use out of them this summer. I may even buy more colors. Don't forget, waterproof too!
