I must say I am VERY picky when it comes to shoes.  I ordered these for a vacation to Florida, last minute, when I realized my old sandals were not going to do.  I got them very quickly and when I opened the package I was surprised to see how much I liked the look.  I tried them on and they felt very comfortable, just walking around the house.  I packed them away and hoped that they would work well for my trip, which included an entire day in Key West walking!  To my surprise they are the most comfortable, light, simple and forgiving shoes I have EVER owned.  I HATE wearing shoes, but I LOVE these.  They give in the padded part, so that it feels nice and soft when you walk.  The straps do not dig into me like others have, and they are easy to slide on and off when you are in a hurry.  I walked around Key West for a good 8 hours, or more, without a single complaint!  Not only that, but they are made VERY well, a very good quality shoe.  I highly recommend it to anyone who can purchase them, you won't regret it!
