I love girly, feminine shoes but also love to fish.  The sandals are perfect for summer activites such as fishing and walking around art fairs.  Nice cushoning and plenty of coolness for the feet.  They do run very wide (my fotr leans to the narrow side).  I wish another width was offered.  The elastic laceing does offer a small degree of tightening.  I added sheepskin insoles to take up the room.  Every year I buy a pair for my equally fishing enthusiastic sister.  She's on her third pair while this is my first.
