Sandals?  No I think not - I call them shoes or even better house shoes.  That means they are great in the house and great outside - you know.  They are just plain and plain cool.  Let's say that I am 66 and retired and these are the shoes for me from now on!  I love the color, which was a non color, gray (or grey, who knows?).  I love the cut, weight (lightness), and that I am cool.  I still don't know why they call them sandals.  I will wear these out with daily use, I KNOW IT!  Get a pair of these.  Oh listen up -  I wear a size 13aa sport shoe - New Balance 922's, and I ordered these as 12 and let me say the fit is perfect, so you MIGHT want to go a size smaller.  I might get another color yet.  I approve of them and I can be a tough sell!
