Last year on a trip to Europe, I did a lot of walking, and had terrible issues with blisters using sandals.  Shoes also weigh a lot in luggage and take up a lot of space.  So i was looking for a pair of light, but very comfy sandals to take for my trip this year.  I just found them.  These sandals are very light, and very comfy.  The rubber sole makes them extremely comfortable and a great shock absorber.  They are already in my pile of clothing ready to be packed.  They look great - love the color which surprised me, and don't look at all clumpy like crocs can sometimes look.  Maybe I need a pair in black too!
