This is my second pair.
After experiencing hot foot in other shoes, I tried these and found relief. The stiffer sole on these makes them more stable for my ankles. I have plantar fasciitis so the stiffer sole is good for me.
We toured most of last year so I lived in these sandals from March to September. I climbed over rock piles and through a few mudholes, got my foot caught in barbed wire fence the straps stayed firmly attached as I yanked hard to free myself.

We ride 8-12 hours so walking comfort is just as important as riding comfort, these are the best of both for me!
