I took these on a trip to Costa Rica. I wanted an comfortable open sandal that gave more support & fit than just regular flip flops. When they arrived, i tried them on and they were so great! I loved the feel and comfort on my feet. The arch support was good. Once in Costa Rica, I decided to wear these on a beach stroll. I was mostly walking on sand and figured these would be fine if they got a little wet because isn't that what they're for?

Well, once wet, my feet were slipping and sliding around in them. I tightened the straps a little more but all that did was rub on my skin and I basically had welts from them where the straps touch the skin, mostly on the sides on my feet. No matter how I adjusted the straps, I felt like I couldn't find the right way to wear these. They weren't for me. Too bad I can't return them. For me, they were a waste of $.
