So I was looking for a sandal that could be work appropriate and also casual which is always a challenge. I find the flatness of the gladiator sandal to be unflattering and uncomfortable for the most part, and this shoe addresses that by having a little bit of a heel. The ankle strap is actually velcro which is nice for a quick on/off and also to adjust to a wider variety of ankle widths than if it had holes. I will say that they are a little hard on the ankles/feet because the sole is hard and your foot is free to move since there is no back to the shoe. But realistically with sandals, little support is the rule not the exception.

So all in all, a nice looking sandal that is moderately comfortable for day to day wear.
