I bought these to replace adidas sandals I've had for probably 8 years or so. The original ones I purchased as not made anymore and I don't like the model that replaced them.  These feel interesting on your feet. They are a little snug, but I have wide feet (I wore an E width as a kid). I would enjoy them more if they were just a little more loose (like my old ones). I do not feel they will "bite" the tops of the my toes like the adilette ones that I bought did. These are a much softer and flexible material.
