I purchased these sandals as a summer "wear with everything everyday everywhere" pair of shoes. They have been performing wonderfully. They are comfortable and I wear them with everything: skirts, pants, shorts, jeans and dresses. The heels give a nice lift without any discernable stress or pressure on my back. I love Clarks shoes and these do not disappoint. If you don't take any care of them, there might eventually be a little bit of fraying of the foot pad material towards the front of the shoe, otherwise I can't think of any issues. They breathe, so no sweaty damp feet. This also means that you don't slide around in them like some other sandals. They recover well from being soaked in the rain. They don't weight very much and the soles have decent traction. If you have wide feet or any sensitivity in the front of your feet these will work well.  The colors are actually more muted than they look in the picture. Yeah! All around nice buy and well priced.
