My partner and I are moving to Ecuador on a motorcycle, so we have limited space. I wanted a pair of shoes that were great for walking around all day, but didn't look frumpy like hiking/walking sandals tend to do, and I wanted something that would look with a skirt, dress or jeans with a nice top for going out at night. These are perfect! I've already received so many compliments breaking them in around town. I wear them all day and they are fairly comfy, you just have to keep playing with the straps a bit until you learn what's comfortable for you.

Keep in mind that if you walk through sand it will get in and stay there despite these being sandals (duh), but I find that if I  just loosen the back strap a little and shake my foot it all comes out. Oh, and they're really light, so these would be great for a backpacker or a saddlebag :-)
