These were pricey but where I live, I wear sandals all but 3 months a year.  I checked around for a better price but with the free shipping and no tax, Amazon could not be beat. When I first put them on they felt great and fit my feet well.  I did not like the natural leather look as I seldom wear brown so I dyed them blue.  They now look like dress sandals.  If you want well made sandals, these are it.
