These are the most comfortable sandals! I never liked sandals with the strap between the toes but I decided to try them again since it's hard to find cute sandals without the toe strap. After a day of getting used to the toe part, these are so comfortable I wish I could wear them year round! The sole is firm, but soft, and the crystal design is elegant. I get tons of compliments on these. I will be buying more Yellow Box sandals next summer! Highly recommend.
