I read the rav reviews about these sandals and was disappointed when they arrived.  They appeared two different sizes although they were both labelled 8.5.  When I measured them they were different.  If I had purchased them locally I would have returned them.  I was not too impressed with the colour brown either.  However they are comfortable and I do wear them under trousers so the size difference is not so noticable.  Even taking the problem with the sizing into account I would not purchase them again, I am happier with my Teva's or Naots which are just as comfortable but more stylish.
