Very Disappointed
I bought two pairs of these because of my positive experience with previous Columbia Thongs (Nevis model) that are no longer available. I have a deviation to my right foot causing my toes to kind of bend inwards. Most sandals/thongs allow my big toe to fall off the base to the inside, but the Columbia thongs had better toe and foot support keeping the toes on the shoe base, while also holding the heel on the base.
These new model Kea are not made as strong or sturdy. Although the toe thong keeps my toes on the shoe base, the support to the foot around the arch isn't as well made forcing my heel to slide and sit about 1/4 off the base to the inside. Very uncomfortable and unsupportive.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Columbia-Sportswear-Women-s-Kea-Land-Sandal/dp/B002IFSURK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Columbia Sportswear Women's Kea Land Sandal</a>
