This is my third pair.  The others each lasted several years with daily use from May to September.  Walking in these sandals is a little like walking with running shoes.  There is a notable cushioned feeling with each step; no hard landings.

The loop through which the strap pulls is a little too small, and so I have to diddle with the strap a bit to loosen the strap completely.  A better sized loop and I would give these sandals 5 stars instead of 4.

The sandals are very comfortable.

I typically am using two brands of sandals, Rockport and Clark, both the same style.  They are equally comfortable, although the Rockport has more cushion.  I alternate wearing the two brands, because the variation is support between the two brands is good for my 75 year-old feet.
