Shipping was fast and everything arrived safely. I usually go for comfort rather than design, but, I just love the criss-cross action on the front of these sandals. I got 2 of Propet sandals recently after reading the rave reviews about them. With this one, I thought it'd give a better grip on top of my feet while walking compared to the Propet Women's' Rainbow Sandals. They're both lightweight. But, that's about the only good qualities about the Propet brand. Sigh....disappointing....
