I've had these for a year now and I love them. They look great (I've never been a fan of sandals), are totally comfortable, they're rugged: no polish needed ever and they keep looking good; they get wet ...no problem they just dry again and still look great. They are dressier than open toe sandals (so you can wear them with more stuff) - and obviously protect your toes too. Definitely one of my beloved clothing items.
