I have been trying to justify owning a pair of these for over a year, but $200 was just a bit beyond my 'unnecessary shoe' budget! But along comes Amazon to the rescue  with the bargain price of $40, and now I am a happy girl! Soooo comfortable. I wish there were more of the fabulous colors originally available on offer at Amazon. I should mention that I am usually a size 5.5/36 in most shoes, and find these run a teensy bit big. If they made a size 35.5 it would probably fit me perfectly.....however, due to the foot-hugging style, this is not a problem at all. I also have really high arches, and there is plenty of room around that area, which is not always the case with such an enclosed shoe. These shoes are great!
