I purchase a black pair last summer (2010) while on a trip from a store so I was able to try on, then decided to get a brown pair this summer.  These are the most comfortable sandel and are great for work or play.  Only thing, they seem to run small, I normally wear a size 8W to 8 1/2 (Fat feet) but had to go up to a size 10 in both pair. No complants though, they fit like a glove and wear GREAT, love love love them.  Would purchase again.
