I bought these to replace a pair of very similar looking, similar priced, brown Cobian brand sandals that I had finally worn out. These look just as nice but are not nearly as comfortable. I have worn them in over the last few weeks and they are getting better, but I don't think they will ever be as comfortable as the Cobians were because the sole is much harder. Good sandal, but not great. If the Cobians i had become available again, I will buy a pair to replace these.
