My mother had a similar pair of Columia sandals and she loved them and wore them all the time that I had to get a pair. I love them, I wear them all the time, comfortable to walk around in. I wear them to the zoo, the park, shopping, the beach. Very practical and look great too! Highly recommend them. I even bought a pair for my girlfriend that is pregnant and can no longer wear flip flops and other sandals that make her a bit unstable. She loves them also.
