During hot CA summer getting around in fully enclosed shoes for a long day becomes a challenge for one's feet. These sandals are a solution - while looking adequately presentable for a casual occasion they are open enough to let you feet breath and be cool and comfy.

This particular pair is wonderfully comfortable with excellent arch support and perfect sole. You can stand and walk in them for hours without feeling pain.

I got a pair of extra wide size 7 - rare combo not easy to find even online. The are on a smallish side - rather between 6.5 and 7 than on other side of it (i'd say 6.8 and definitely not 7.2 :-) )

As for extra width - they are comfortably wide but do not be deceived by "extra". They are just wide.
