I wear this sandal to ride my bike to work every day. It's about 1/2 a mile there and back, and this is the sandal on my foot every day. It's casual enough to wear to the office, but classier than a flip-flop, and the wedge isn't so high that you feel awkward on the bike pedals (I'm glad I didn't get the higher wedge Teva makes).

I have bought all kinds of sandals - Chacos, Havianas, danskos, etc. etc. I just sort of accept that when I buy a sandal that's even remotely strappy, I'm gonna have to wear it in and maybe get a small rubbed spot on my feet. I've had these for 3 weeks, wear them 5 days a week, and have had zero problems.

I think the key with this sandal is to order 1/2 a size up so you can tighten what you need to, and have a little room where you need it. I wear a 6 1/2, but I ordered a 7, and they fit perfectly.
