I teach, hike, backpack the world and walk my dog in these.  I was searching for a pair of sandals that I could throw in my backpack and go from beach, to a wedding, to a date, to a hike, dinner and even a show.  I can also teach in these too and wear them in rain.  And the price on Amazon was half of what other online retailers were charging.  These are fantastic.  I bought multiple colors but only kept the black because the footbed of other colors can be pale and I figured they'd look filthy too soon.  I wish all the footbeds were dark and then I'd own every color--especially at Amazon's price.
