It does chafe on my feet. Not too much though, but these are kind of shoes you expect to be COMFORTABLE on the first place. They are casual - casual - casual, designed for everyday walking, kind of heavy duty (no one would buy them to match a cocktail dress!), so it should be suitable for this purpose and these shoes are not. I have to alternate them, only really wearing them two or three times a week, making sure that it is not going to be the busiest day.
In my old sandals of a similar shape I never ever had to think about my feet - unfortunately, I don't remember what the brand was.
