i have this sandal for about a year now.  however, i have not worn it as much since this is a seasonal sandal (can't wear it during winter time).  i actually bought 3 pairs (1 each for my siblings).  i really like the looks of this sandal as it can be worn on any occasion (with skimpy shorts or board shorts as well as jeans).  i only wear this for walking/hiking and not for running and without socks.  the feel of the sandal is good for me - didn't give me any chafing even during the first time i used it.  however, i am giving it only 3 stars since my brother and sister got chafed by the toe and on the midfoot (arch) area where the middle diagonal strap is.  i would not attribute the chafing problem to the size since the sizes we each have, fit us perfectly.  my bro and i are not flat footed while my sister is.
