I spend my summers in sandals, I'd wear them all winter also but the snow here gets too deep.  I bought a cheap pair of Nevados this spring to go fishing in and they broke a strap after 3 weeks.  In my search for a replacement pair I saw these and thought they'd be good, Columbia products are always top of the line.  Unfortunately, they are not comfortable at all.  Hopefully after a few days of wear they will break in and be better.  The top strap pinches my foot, there is no underlining fabric to prevent that as in some of the lower quality more expensive brands, the toe strap sides dig into the side of your foot, and the material feels scratchy and rough.

However the arch support is perfectly placed for my foot.  So there's one good thing, among the bad.  I won't be buying another pair of these, even though the quality is top notch like all Columbia gear, the pain of breaking them in isn't worth it.
