I absolutely love this sandal. I purchased a pair last year and loved them so much that I tracked them down and bought another pair this year. I don't usually feel comfortable in a thong-style sandal, but these are so comfortable that I could wear them all day (and could from the first day if I wanted to). The thong doesn't get uncomfortable because, thanks to the platform, there is no big incline forcing your foot into it. So, you get great height, which I love. The only reason I did not give five stars is because the foam-type platform becomes compressed after only a few weeks of wear--and this is certainly not the only pair of sandals/shoes I wear. I wear them approximately 2 or 3 days a week after work. Also, the thong on the first pair broke after one season. Occasionally, you'll want to scrub them with soap and water to clean them and allow them plenty of time to air dry. That said, though, I would buy them in every color if I found them at a lower price. Love them and get compliments on them every time I wear them.
