I have purchased these shoes at department stores in the past at a much higher price point and am very pleased with them. They have a great "mush" to them when you walk and are great for tired feet. They have become my go-to shoes for the airport as the strap is not uncomfortable to walk in for long periods and don't rub me the wrong way like other sandals have done in the past. I have read other reviews that these shoes are not wide enough but I find them wide enough for my foot and I generally find that I like a wider shoe. 2 pairs at the price of 1 is definitely a bargain!! Great purchase!
