I cannot even begin to tell you how pleased I am with these sandals.  In my line of work I must wear black all the time and in our recent Heat Wave these sandals have been wonderful.  In formal situations people do not even realize I am wearing sandals....they look so good.  They are very comfortable and soft underfoot.  The soles wear very well and I anticipate wearing these for a long time.  I have often heard "you get what you pay for" and in this case the sandals are an incredible bargain for the price.  I am very happy with them and will probably be ordering another pair before the week is out.  Jon
