I had a stroke almost 4 years ago at age 32, so I spend a majority of my time in a wheelchair, but often use a walker when I'm not in my wheelchair. Being in my mid-30s, fashionable shoes is desired, but I needed a sandal that was comfortable and had good traction...this delivers on all counts! It's nice to find a sandal that is comfortable, without sacrificing the aesthetic and vice-versa. Plus, the cost is so cheap, I currently have a pair in the stone tumbled, but can easily afford a pair in the black. HIGHLY suggest these.
