After reading the other two reviews, I was hopeful yet apprehensive when I ordered these in black. After wearing them for a few days, I can say that these are easily some of the most comfortable sandals that I own. The straps are not too tight but are definitely not loose across my feet; the ankle strap is shorter than expected, but still fits. The footbed is very well-cushioned and provides a fair amount of support, especially for a sandal. Overall, I am very happy with these and know I will be wearing them all summer!
