I didn't buy these particular sandals but I bought a similar pair of Rockports a few years ago and found them pretty comfortable until I made the mistake of wearing them to DIsney World. About half way through the day the label, which is sewn on and visible in the photo, started wearing the skin off my foot. At the end of the day the area was raw and I was in a lot of pain. I complained to Rockport about it, but sadly two years later I see they are still doing the same thing. So, word to the wise: if you plan on walking any distance in these sandals, remove the label! That can be easily done by cutting the stitches with a pair of small scissors.
