I love these shoes even more than I thought I would.  I've never owned a pair of Kenneth Cole shoes and was excited to see that these sandals were more than affordable.  I thought at first the shoes were a bit too big, but then I saw that there was velcro on the side and once adjusted the shoes fit perfectly.  I don't remember reading anything about the fact that the sandals had velcro, but I thought it was ingenious especially since the sandals are (obviously) not sneakers.  I am extremely pleased with these shoes and highly recommend them - most comfortable and easy to wear.
