I had searched all spring and over half the summer trying to find slide sandals that were correct for my feet. Without going into details of my criteria for proper fit. These sandals fit perfectly! The foot bed is padded, the heel isn't too high and the sole is cushioned, puts a bounce in your step. The upper part of the shoe envelopes your foot and holds the foot securely. I would recommend these shoes to anyone with arthritis, they cushion your every step. I have purchased two pair of this style.
