These sandals are one of the best purchases I have ever made. No breaking in, fit true to size, very comfortable and supportive. I had these on for the first time when I ended up doing some unintended extensive walking one day while on a vacation. I was nervous as we were getting into all the walking thinking with these being brand new I may end up with blisters or rubbing on my skin. Neither problem happened! These are very well constructed and feel as though they will last a long time. I love these and would highly recommend them.
