The styling is what it is - a pair of open toed sandals.  But your feet will love you for them.  I need a narrow toe bed and a slender heel bed.  I ordered a narrow, and adjusted the velcro straps where I needed them until they were perfect for me.  How they wear remains to be seen, but they seem very well constructed. The footbed is plush and dark enough not to look dirty after half the season is over (this may not be true if you order a light color.)  Can't wait for weather in the 70's to start wearing them.  They are more comfortable than a pair I ordered from another shoemaker for twice the price. When I saw my review I decided to add that my sandals are black, because where I've seen my review, a white pair is shown.
