A problem with all sandals of this genre is that the Velcro eventually wears out. This one has a tab at the rear that allows you to pull the sandal over your heel without having to undo the main Velcro strap. You can put it on like a loafer or slipper, and the lifetime of the sandal is extended. The overall construction of this shoe is good, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for this style of footwear.
