This was an expensive present for my husband.  It was definitely a splurge because these sandals are the most expensive footwear he owns.  From the moment he opened the box, they haven't left his feet.  He wears them everywhere.  Not being a sandals kind of guy, he is now a convert and so grateful I bought them that he's being extra helpful around the house.

Advisory: If you're a true size 8, I would consider ordering a size down because they run big.  My husband is an 8 1/2 and they're a bit large.
