I love Seychelles, and this sandal is no exception. It's got decent foot padding, and the heel isn't too high (for me anyway). Please note: this shoe (like a few other Seychelles I have) runs a 1/2 or maybe even whole size too large. I am usually a 9.5 or even 10, because I have a wide foot. I had to return this shoe and get a 9 (I have not purchased a 9 in a very long time!). Consider ordering down at least a 1/2 size. Note about the "mustard" color: on the web the color looks lemon-y and sunny, but it's not. It's definitely "mustard" yellow, as the name suggests. I still love it, but just a word of warning for anyone out there looking for a bright yellow shoe (this isn't it).
