I wanted the Taos Prize sandals in black, but they are $100. Then I stumbled upon the Minnetonka sandal, which looks a lot like the Taos. It has the same adjustable straps, similar detailing, similar comfort sole, sixty dollars less, so I bought them. I find them to be as comfortable as the Taos, and actually prettier. I have the Taos in several colors. I wish the Minnetonka came in more colors. I'd be buying them instead. I'm very happy with this sandal. It's comfortable, attractive, and very affordable.
