I've been looking for a sandal like this that wasn't super thin sole and was comfortable. I always hate buying new shoes and you have to break it in and you're in pain for blisters for the first 7 times of wearing the shoes. I wore this sandals for the first time on my vacation in Hawaii and there was no blisters or need to break in the shoes. They were super comfortable! Good for long walks. Yet they're trendy and classy at the same time! The tan part where your food sits does tend to take on the discoloring/shape of your foot, but oh wells. And I have slightly wide feet and these were one of the only thong sandals of this type that would fit my slightly wider foot. Most of them were like as narrow as the heel part! Blah.
