The comfort is 5 star. The footbed is soft and the straps do not rub my feet. It feels nearly like walking barefoot. I prefer sandals with an ankle strap, because I hate when flip flops ... well, flop around. But these stay firmly on my feet because the straps go far enough back. There is no stitching that can rub anywhere.

The appearance is 5 star. I have flat feet, so many sandals accentuate that fact. These however have a strap where my lack of an arch is, without pinching in. They are just super cute sandals in person. I really love them. You can not tell they aren't real leather, unless you smell them I guess? They don't have that leather smell.

The quality unfortunately is 3 star. The first day I wore them out, walking around on pavement, the top front of one shoe became scuffed and shows as a white "nose" on the tan footbed. Within a week the other shoe acquired a matching scuff. This prevents them from acting as a semi-nice casual sandal to wear with summer dresses, and puts them in a grungy poolside or beach bum sandal category. I had a nice pair of real leather sandals and they scuffed in the same way... but after a year or two of wear, not one week. I like the idea of vegan leather, but it just doesn't hold up as well.

I don't think these would last for more than one season, but for the price maybe that's ok.
