This is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and this is the only shoe I can wear without special orthotic inserts. It is also light weight and has the nice wide toe box that I need. The dual mesh upper, a fine layer covered by a strong coarse layer, lets the shoe breathe well, making it ideal for summer wear. The downside to this construction, though, is that fine sand gets in through the mesh. Not a good shoe for the beach.
