I purchased for travel this year as I knew I'd be walking a great deal both in the airports and while visiting various cemeteries for my ancestral research in the Midwest.  They are so comfortable.  My first Chaco's were thongs and hurt my toes but these are absolutely the most comfortable sandals that I've ever owned.  I highly recommend them if you plan to be on your feet a lot especially for traveling.  The price was also great!
