These sandals are...okay. If I could I'd give them 2.5 stars. That said, they're my least favorite of the three pairs of sandals I bought this year (all of my old ones bit the dust at the same time). For some reason they are tight in the heel (I know--how can a sandal be tight in the heel?!!!). Regardless of how loose I leave the strap they seem to be a bit binding in the achilles tendon area. Also, they're just not as cushy and flexible as I'd like. I've worn them numerous times for an eight-hour-on-my-feet day and they're okay. No blisters, no sore spots...But I'm glad to take them off as soon as I get home. I could wear my old Hush Puppies 'til forever with no complainst (they literally fell apart after years of use--I considered asking the shoemaker if they could be repaired but decided they were too far gone...sigh) so these are a bit of a disappointment.

I just ordered a pair of those pump/moccasin slip on type shoes with the rubber-y wedge sole/heel for the fall. They're Hush Puppies, too. I hope they're comfier than these are.
