The first time I looked at these sandals I thought"OMG!" Some of us can't stand change & these shoes looked Different! After the third glance the look began to grow on me & the more I read about the Keen Company, the more intrigued I was. I placed the order & I'm so glad I did! They run a bit small...I was warned about this,so ordered a half size larger & the fit is good. The comfort is HEAVENLY!!!Nice arch support. Great heel comfort. True to size on width. Put them on & walked the neighborhood with my St. Bernard & came back with a smile. The funky toes will be PERFECT for walking the beach. How many times have you stubbed your toe on beach debris because you are looking at the gorgeous ocean & not watching where you're walking? OK, I'm a klutz, but I've got it covered this year. Those curly toes give protection to your toes & keep you from ruining your beach vacation with an injured foot! I'm comfy, I'm stylin', & I'm one very happy customer !
