I bought these as a gift for a young friend who works long hours and is on her feet a lot.  She always complained about shoes and tried different ones...tennis shoes made her feet too hot, sandals were uncomfortable or impractical for one reason or another, and she was starting to suffer from knee and ankle pains. She now wears these sandals every day, she says she hates to even take them off to wear fancier shoes for special occasions, because they feel so good on her feet.  She is delighted to have finally found the perfect pair of shoes to work in and walk around in.
