I bought these sandals for a trip I took a few weeks ago to have good comfortable walking sandals.  They are the most wonderful feeling sandals I have ever had on my feet!  It did not  take much to break them in, I did initially get a little blister starting on both of my big toes but bandaids helped and I only had that problem when I was breaking them in. I got them in a 8 and I usually wear a 8.5 but the 8 is perfect, I do believe these sandals run a little big.
