I received these sandals just as I was going out for the day. I put them on straight away and went everywhere I had to go with out trying them out first. They are still on my feet tonight as I haven't taken them off yet. These sandals are the most comfortable I have ever bought. The size was my normal shoe size and they fitted perfectly. The leather upper is very soft and the soles are thick enough to provide walking comfort. The soles are also very flexible and bend easily when walking or kneeling so that the shoe conforms to your feet without slipping down at the back. These shoes are a very good investment in comfort and style. They seem also extremely durable but I have only worn them for one day. I'll see what happens.
