These sandals, like the other reviewers have said, are very comfortable. At first the little ridges that poke out of these sandals may seem awkward and feel slightly odd, but they are very soft and very comfortable and the quality is great. I've had these sandals for about half a year with regular wear and the little ridges have not flattened out like I would have imagined, they still give that soft support cushion. These sandals overall seem very durable. One thing is, when these sandals get wet, they get VERY slippery. For some reason, they seem more slippery than other sandals I have had. But overall the quality of the build and comfort of these sandals are top notch. Although these sandals aren't cheap, believe me, these are worth the money. You will feel the difference.
