I've always envied people who write that shoes were comfortable right out of the box. Finally it happened to me! I'm still in shock. When reading reviews two words appeared a few times that helped me decide to buy: "Runs wide." I won't gross you out with the details, but my feet rarely are comfortable in shoes. I love flip-flops, and they, my physical therapist says, have contributed to my problems. These sandals are lightweight, cute AND COMFORTABLE. Extra wide wasn't available in the color I wanted, so I ordered wide and they are just what I need. By they way, I got them in tan rebel/bronze and they are a true tan, not yellowish as they appear in the photos. The little "dot" trims are a shiny charcoal color, so I can wear these with black shorts etc. If you have wide, troublesome feet, give these a try. I'll be ordering more!
