I ordered these for a comfortable sandal that would accommodate my feet if they swell or I need to be standing for a long time. I dislike having to sear socks and jogging shoes in the D.C. hot and humid summers. These fit well and are true to size. I like to buy leather shoes since leather breathes better than man-made materials making for a cooler, less sweaty foot. The price was excellent! I wore them around the house and noticed that they rubbed the top of my foot that emerges from the leather upper (base at the bottom of my toe area) a bit. This is due to a roughened seam ending right on the top center of the upper. The edge of the upper where my foot emerges has a leather and thread work ending that makes for a rough spot. The upper edge where my foot enters also has this seam but it is not rough. I will need to put some sort of sticky tape or felt to prevent my foot from being rubbed raw.
